| Posted: 23 Nov 2019 03:45 PM PST I was looking at the 360 s7 and was looking to buy it though then I came across the Xiaomi mı robot gen 1 and it i had a lot of good reviews and was half the price of the 360 s7. My questions are: Is it worth getting the 360 s7 over the mi robot? Is the mi robot a good vacuum? (House is 80% tiled) Are there other options out there that are good and around the same price range (AU$300 – $600)? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 23 Nov 2019 07:07 PM PST I am looking into buying one of the Netatmo weather stations as it looks compatible with smart things. However, I'm curious (before I spend $300) if this is really worth it? I live in an area that has snow and would be nice to measure snowfall, rainfall, wind, temperatures... Main thin I'm looking for is the wind sensor so I can turn off an outlet if the wind gets too strong for my Christmas / Halloween inflatables (as we had one take off running down the street). I am OK with spending the money but I want to know if it's worth it for the quality or if there is something else that's better quality for all of it. [link] [comments] | ||

| Inovelli Dimmer troubleshooting Posted: 23 Nov 2019 09:21 PM PST I installed the on/off switch and it works perfectly and then I installed the dimmer installed with neutral wire and I assumed it would have a relay air gap with the bulbs but it seems to be like it doesnt have a neutral and wont let the bulbs shut completely off. I am super confused and it seems to behave the same with and without neutral. It could be that I am not setting the configuration right but I've been playing with it plenty without luck.

| Philips Hue Calla on stairway tile Posted: 23 Nov 2019 03:20 PM PST I am toying with the idea of getting the hue calla lights for my outdoor walkway lighting. Because of the configuration of the stairs leading up to the house there's no ground to push the supplied stake into. I've never seen a calla yet, so I don't know how the base of the unit is configured. So my questions are: - Does the base have a removable metal plate that can be used as a base that I can drill into the stairway tiles or - Is the base flat enough where I can use a concrete epoxy to fix these things permanently to the stairs? Thanks in advance [link] [comments] | ||
| Need help to identify existing and a replacement thermostat type Posted: 23 Nov 2019 09:07 PM PST Hi Community, I have this thermostat (link to pics below) and was looking into replacing it with one of the smart ones. However, I am not sure whether I do have actually the right infrastructure to install a smart thermostat. This is what I have - https://imgur.com/a/9eduDjD Thanks a lot for the help [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 23 Nov 2019 03:09 PM PST Trying to get a broadlink RM pro to control a Daikin mini split system. It finds it and can control it but everything is in Celsius in the IHC app or the broadlink smart remote app. I cannot figure out how to get to go to Fahrenheit. is there any way to get that to Fahrenheit? If not is there a different app that I work with the RM pro? [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 23 Nov 2019 11:07 AM PST I have a hardwired dimmable led light fixture in the bedroom, and want it to gradually light up in the morning, either on a schedule or when a phone alarm goes off. We use android phones, and have an ecobee thermostat with Alexa, and compatible with IFTTT. Has anybody done this with a Lutron casetta or similar product? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Does anyone use ecobee with Vera? Posted: 23 Nov 2019 10:43 AM PST How is your experience? Thinking of swapping from next to ecobee... Can you use ecobee as a trigger ie: thermostat mode changes to heat = turn off corner fan? Also, can you control the thermostat from Vera? [link] [comments] | ||
| Anyone use Melnor Rain Cloud? And a warning/reminder Posted: 23 Nov 2019 05:45 PM PST https://www.melnor.com/product/raincloud-smart-water-timer/ Anyone here use Melnor Rain Cloud? The app and uptime has been sketchy over the last 2 years, but it generally worked. I put up with it because there was nothing else out there similar besides building my own (usually that's what I'd do, but recently had a kid when we got it). Now their system has been offline for for over two weeks and the last update we got was that they just found what the problem was after a week of investigation.
So they don't even know how to fix this problem and they've known the cause for over a week. I'm in IT and the thought of one of my services being down for an hour even makes me have a mini panic attack because that would mean a lot of contingency plans had failed and something really bad was going on. Makes me think they have a highly unskilled team running this platform. Maybe they should stick to sprinklers, those are pretty good. So to my reminder/warning: keep as much local control as you can. I started out hard core local only and eased into cloud a bit. This is why I started out that way and what is going to push me back. This thing is a paperweight now and I have to manually water my plants. Thank goodness that's not the hardest thing to do... if this had been my lighting that lost control, the spouse would make me rip it all out. I'm going to go back to my original plan: an Arduino with regular sprinkler valves. Just gotta find some time! [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 23 Nov 2019 04:39 PM PST Literally just had a drone auto start installed in my car, today it says it won't connect, tried deleteing app and reinstalling it. Any suggestions as you can't get to a person. [link] [comments] | ||
| I want to play music from my NAS Posted: 23 Nov 2019 03:34 PM PST New to this so dont spank me to quickly... I have the following: Google home mini, Samsung SmartThings hub, a very good dual band router, and two different Network Attached Storage devices, one is a Western Digital and the other is a slightly older Seagate. I do not want to use the Internet Cloud to serve my music back to my home. I want to be able to use by current system to automate things in my home and to play my music when I ask for it to be played, or at minum pull up an app on a device and start playing the music. Currently I would love to be able to play through the Google Mini speakers, however down the road I will be adding speakers to different zones and would like to be able to use the system to play music via zones through the audio speakers. Is this possible without a code certification and 2 or more years of schooling? Ive searched around the net to get info and everything I get is most devices will not do what I want, or it will but you have to get into writing special code for special apps... So If it will work, but not on my system, what system can I build that will allow me to play my own music from my NAS devices? [link] [comments] | ||
| Do the Nest Mini microphone's work? Posted: 23 Nov 2019 03:02 PM PST I bought a bunch of the home mini's when they came out and the microphones are pretty much garbage. I have been tempted to ditch them and move to Alexa despite paying for google play music which was the only reason i bought the mini's originally. I can't take the weak microphones any more and am curious if the additional Mic on the Nest Mini are better in reality or if I should give up and move over to Alexa. I have a dot that I bought to test with and the microphones work from across a huge room with no problem but need to replace all the mini's with something. [link] [comments] | ||
| Flickering issue with Normal LED bulb connected to WeMo smart switch. Any ideas? Posted: 23 Nov 2019 01:52 PM PST | ||
| Posted: 23 Nov 2019 12:38 PM PST I have had a ZWave Yale deadbolt (https://www.zwaveproducts.com/collections/yale-locks/products/yale-yrd216zw2605-z-wave-plus-pushbutton-keypad-deadbolt-polished-brass) for about a year. I also have a WEMO Dimmer for my bedroom. The WEMO has always worked via the app on my IOS devices. So I finally decided I wanted to integrate my house and get it set up so I can add more devices and eventually set up some ITTT stuff. So I bought a Google Home Mini and a Samsung SmartThings hub. I was able to get the WEMO working with the Google home, I can voice the lights on/off/dim without an issue. But when I try to get the Yale deadbolt to connect to the SmartThings hub via the app, nodda... nothing. I have searched and cannot find any info on the Yale lock and SmartThings other what is covered in the SmartThings app. When I bring up the SmartThings App, click ADD DEVICE, scroll down and select Yale, select Door Locks, select Yale Z-Wave, it downloads something, them goes to the get started screen. I select Start, then select the hub and the room the device is in, then it gives me instructions:
When I finish the last step, the key pad waits a few seconds and then flashes and beeps as if it was a good code, not the sound it makes when you enter in a wrong code. But the hub and app do not find it, the app ends up showing me "There was a problem connecting to the device. Try adding again." As for my set up, I am running a Linksys WRT2900AC, the Google Home is connected via 2.4 wifi, the SmartThings is also currently connected via 2.4, but I did have it connected to my Netgear 10/100/1000 switch. The router is located in the lower level of the house, along with the switch, the Google Home and SmartThings are both located on a level above at the entertainment system in the family room. The SmartThings hub is located about 20-25 feet from the Yale lock. If ive left out into that will help just let me know and Ill try to provide it. Yes the Yale has a Z-Wave cartridge installed. It was installed when we bought the house, and from what I can see it was apart of an AT&T security package. I dont know if that matters or not. In all honesty I have no idea if it works because there is no way of testing it. Edit to change "flair" to solved. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 23 Nov 2019 08:45 AM PST Since acquiring Nest, google has said they are creating the one party device ecosystem, and that Nest would eventually be moved over to what they are calling the "works with google assistant," and claim that legacy products that are already configured to work with nest would continue to do so. About a week or so ago my vera quit talking to my nest, but it gives me no alerts that there is anything wrong... even the log-in and password check out correctly. Anyone else with vera having these issues? [link] [comments] | ||
| Somewhat stupid question regarding switches. Posted: 23 Nov 2019 08:41 AM PST Hey guys, as the title states, I'm aware this is kind of a stupid question but... I'm going to be installing some smart switches today. One set is a 3-way setup with a switch in the garage and one in the hallway that operate some entry lights. We never actually use the one in the garage, so can I leave it dumb and still get all the the smart features from the inside one, or do they both have to be smart? [link] [comments] | ||
