| Posted: 29 Nov 2019 04:28 AM PST Everyone, I made a Homebridge plugin for UE Boom speakers. I was able to sniff the Bluetooth data from the official UE Boom app by using Xcode's PacketLogger. Turning off the speaker is not yet possible as it requires You can find the package at: https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge-ueboom You can contribute at: https://github.com/alessandroaime/homebridge-ueboom [link] [comments] | ||

| Looking for: wifi connected AC outlet/extension requiring no internet access Posted: 29 Nov 2019 06:38 PM PST Hi all, As per the subject line, I'm looking for a remote-controllable AC outlet or power strip. I'd like it to connect to my wifi. Control could be by a simple app or, even better, a simple web page. I really do not want or need a cloud-based connection - I'd like to keep it all local. Zigbee seems to have interference issues (potentially) Z-wave requires a hub. Both create their own network (not needed). It seems this thing should exist, but I'm not finding it. Alternative solution is to make my own with an arduino or some other device. Any ideas / recommendations? [link] [comments] | ||
| The Z-Wave Zigbee Ghost in Retail Posted: 29 Nov 2019 03:55 AM PST The horror! Reports are in that Z-Wave and Zigbee devices have all been ghosted at retail. The walking dead and diseased WiFi and Bluetooth devices have taken over! In all seriousness, what happened this year to move away from more secure solutions? [link] [comments] | ||

| Can anyone recommend a kiosk browser for iOS/iPad that is free or cheap? Posted: 29 Nov 2019 07:44 PM PST Like Fully Kiosk Browser for Android, but for iOS. I also need it to connect to local to the device files... long story. The only ones I can find are really expensive for businesses. The only free one (ProSurf) can't do local files. Any recommendations? Thx [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 29 Nov 2019 06:12 AM PST Hi all! I'm interested in buying a ring doorbell, but can't decide on a Ring, Ring 2, or Ring Pro. What would be your choice, and why? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] | ||
| Can anyone help with automating a old commercial garage door? Posted: 29 Nov 2019 07:21 PM PST So, I'm trying to automate and old commercial garage door. I know roughly what I have to do, but no idea what product(s) I'll need to do it. Its a commercial garage door, so nothing like a home system and doesn't have the typical no doorbell style, but instead has three buttons, one up, one down, one stop. The buttons are hardwired to the motor and I measured 24v AC across the contacts. The good news is, they are just dumb buttons, with one wire for each button and a common wire on the other side connected to all three. So I believe I can just use some sort of relay connected to and app somehow. I would have gone with a Sonoff relay, but as far as I can tell they need 90v+ to run, so can anyone point me to a relay that works with A) 24v AC or B) is powered externally and doesn't really care about input voltage and is any of zigbee/zwave/wifi? A wifi device with a simple app would actually be preferred for this use case, the building has no other automation equipment and wont get any. The owner just wants to be able to open the garage door without getting out of their car, unlocking the man door, going inside, hitting the button and getting back in the car, preferably without installing a very expensive not 30 year old opener.

| Posted: 29 Nov 2019 06:33 PM PST I recently purchased a Bond home. I set it up this evening and it works brilliantly. I'm blown away by just how simple this was to set up and immediately be controlling my fans, blinds, etc. However, I'm curious about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/homeautomation/comments/cdc3lv/bond_meltdown/ Looks like this user had an issue where the product overheated and ultimately almost caught fire. Obviously for many of us who have dedicated rack enclosures with a bunch of other electronics, a possible fire hazard is a serious issue. I see now that Bond is being packaged by Home Depot with certain fans, so I have to imagine that they feel that they have the kinks ironed out with the product. However, I'm wondering if anybody else has had issues with the product overheating. I also saw one person note in that thread that the "V2" of the Bond home was in the works, which was supposed to use less power. I'm not sure how to tell if my Bond home is "V1" or "V2," but wanted to check if anybody has any insight on that either. [link] [comments] | ||
| Create a continuously looping lighting effect? Posted: 29 Nov 2019 05:52 PM PST I have 6 in-ceiling Sylvania Lightify RGBW lights. I'd like to create something that synchronizes a smooth rainbow wave between the 6 lights. Basically to look like a spinning pinwheel. Is this possible with Hubitat or similar hubs?

| Switch to control wifi bulb ... does it exist. Posted: 29 Nov 2019 05:24 PM PST So - I am looking at putting in some wifi bulbs. Obviously this means the light has to be turned on all the time so it can be controlled by the app. I am wondering - is there some sort of a light switch that just sends a turn on/turn off signal to the bulb. I am thinking something that can be stuck next to or ideally over the existing switch so non-techies can just turn the lights on and off as normal. I use Smart Life to control my existing stuff and am thinking I link the switch to the bulb via the app... So - does such a thing exist and if so what do I look for on e-bay? [link] [comments] | ||

| Hi - I'm New here and I have 50+ devices on my home network - Looking for tips and advice Posted: 29 Nov 2019 09:33 AM PST This is a special use case, so if you don't have the time, or energy, trust me this post ain't worth it. Just scroll right along. But here is my situation. I have Excellent internet 450mbps down and 30mbps up. Not state of the art, especially with the lack of upload. But I'm able to stream on twitch @ 1080p resolution so I highly doubt that upload could be causing any issue, at least on the internet facing side of things. In fact, I don't really have any issues at all. that's not why I'm making this post. I'm more concerned with security. My router, albeit pretty good with all things I throw at it, has some issues. It's a Linksys AC5400 1.1. It's capable of everything I throw at it, I'm even able to do this wild light show in my basement, or whole home from my PC. My concern is security. I own 14 Lifx Bulbs, 1 Strip, 3 Alexas, a Smart garage door opener, 2 cameras, and 3 sensors. This is all on top of the usual devices I use like the 4 phones, 3 computers, 1 tv, and ps4. Heck, most people would begin to think the router is an issue, but really it does fine. I haven't had any issues with it, though maybe it's a deeper problem then performance. My question, to the fine folk of this forum is what can I do to secure my network? Lifx on works on 2.4Ghz, no z-wave or any other goofy stuff. My router only has one 2.4ghz network. and I'm not sure how to use network isolation. Maybe just a tip how I can isolate my devices from each other? [link] [comments] | ||
| Led stripes on my shelf – need your expertise! Posted: 29 Nov 2019 06:20 AM PST Hi. I am planning to add led stripes to my shelf, and use it with Philips Hue to automate things. I've browsed the complete internet to understand everything (at least it feels like it). Just wanted to make sure I'm thinking correctly. Very much appreciate your help and input. First off, this image shows my idea. I'm thinking to serial connect (not sure about the english for word for it) the whole thing. Have I forgot about something? 5 meter LED stripe – is it possible to cut this one to get 5 of 1 meter stripes? Gledopto (RGB+CCT) – I believe I understand everything about this product. Connectors – Since, according to my math, I need 8 of them (see image – the black small dots), I'll order 2 packs (since there are 5 in a package?). 12V, 5A power supply– I believe I need more than 3A? Also, this is for EU power outlets. 6 pin cable line – To use between shelves. 10m should be good enough in total. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Which voice assistant is better for an Apple environment? Posted: 29 Nov 2019 10:57 AM PST Hi everyone! Recently I've started being interested in a bit of home automation, nothing serious for now, just some Hue Bluetooth lights and Sonoff switches for now, with the WYZE camera and sensor kit as a planned purchase in the near future. My whole environment is Apple centred though, as I have an iPhone, iPad, Mac and an Apple TV. I am an Apple Music subscriber, though I am planning on switching to Spotify, as neither Alexa or Google Assistant support it here in Denmark. My question then is, which voice assistant would make more of a sense for an Apple environment? EDIT: Forgot to mention that the device I'm considering is either Amazon Echo Dot 3rd gen or Google Home Mini 1st gen, as they are similarly priced here. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||

| Smart Plug Question, First time user Posted: 29 Nov 2019 01:44 PM PST Hey everyone, I wanted to buy a single Smart plug and was wondering if this would work, if I bought one single Smart Plug and connected it to my wall, followed by plugging a normal surge extension with multiple plugs, will I be able to use my Echo Dot to control items or will I need to actually get a surge extension that is smart compatible? Thank you! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 29 Nov 2019 01:25 PM PST The two are about the same price but Ring comes with Alexa. I also plan to have a Nest Wifi router and a point. Should I just get a Nest Hello so they would work well together? I will also have Blink XT2 security cameras and a z-wave lock. Right now I feel like I have too many mismatched things. Please let me know the advantages and disadvantages of Nest Wifi vs Ring. Right now it seems Nest Wifi is a bit more expensive in both the price and the monthly subscription. Thanks.
