What "thing" for reading Temp/Humidity in Attic? Posted: 13 Dec 2019 05:29 AM PST I don't own smarthome hub but I'm willing to buy whatever it takes to get readings from my attic. I don't have power or ethernet in the attic and I'm not willing to do that far, so something wireless will have to do. I'm mainly interested in tracking trends, so some sort of app would be ideal; or the ability to automatically export into an excel file. submitted by /u/MikeFromLA2 [link] [comments]

Door Open Chime after x seconds Posted: 13 Dec 2019 07:34 PM PST I need to remind people to close the patio door at my AirBnB. I have Eve door sensors that work with an Eve Energy outlet plug or any other HomeKit enable device. My big problem is that it should only chime when a door is open for an extended period of time. Neither Eve or HomeKit automations allow for that. Any ideas? submitted by /u/Johnbmtl [link] [comments]

MyQ down? Posted: 13 Dec 2019 06:43 PM PST I'm sitting in my driveway and can't open my garage door. This is what I get for relying on tech too much. Edit: I guess my fiance put the front door keys on my keyring. So I'm back in. I then opened the garage door with the button and got a notification from the myQ app. Still can't login. Weird. submitted by /u/PuttsMoBilesiCit [link] [comments]

DIY August Wifi Bridge for Bluetooth Lock with Raspberry PI Zero Posted: 13 Dec 2019 01:32 PM PST I have an August bluetooth only smart lock, and am trying to setup my Raspberry PI Zero as a wifi bridge to be able to control it with Alexa and Google home. ​ I've come across multiple github projects such as https://github.com/ethitter/augustctl. However it appears that these are dated and not up to date anymore. ​ Here's what I currently have - August Smart Lock Raspberry PI Zero with Wifi and Bluetooth in range of the lock Rooted Android Phone with extracted offline keys (these are the strings in the XML file, I've not shared the keys and serial numbers for security and privacy reasons) lockId bluetoothAddress handshakeKey handshakeKeyIndex lastUpdatedMillis - 1576202418587 serialNumber chip1FirmwareVersion - undefined chip2FirmwareVersion - 1.12.6 peripheralType - Lock What I need help with is with pointers to a current/recent project or blog that I can follow. I'm primarily looking for the part where I can connect to the lock using my Raspberry Pi Zero, as long as that is done I can spin up a quick web api and connect that to either Homebridge or spin up a basic alexa skill to take care of the integration with Smart Home assistants. submitted by /u/omnamahshivay [link] [comments]

How Do You Guys Automate the Wife’s Nightstand lamp? Posted: 13 Dec 2019 02:19 PM PST Hue bulbs aren't cutting it because she keeps using the lamp switch. It isn't on a wall switch. If I use a smart outlet she will complain that it won't come on because she will only use the lamp switch. And forget the voice assistant. She doesn't want to wake me up. And she won't use the HA app. I am thinking a smart button beside the lamp????? Or should I just give up on that lamp and let it stay dumb? submitted by /u/AncientAv [link] [comments]

Wall Switch Wiring Question Posted: 13 Dec 2019 02:23 PM PST Hi everyone, Sorry if this question was already answered somewhere, but I had trouble finding my exact layout I'm wanting to swap out a wall switch that is in a not-so-convenient spot with a GE Z-Wave Switch. This way I can hook it up to SmartThings and have a button for it and more. However, after looking at the switch itself. I noticed that it only has three-wires within the box: a ground, a black wire, and a white wire. And the Z-Wave switches have five terminals with one of them requiring a neutral wire. Pictures of the Switch itself Am I missing the neutral wire in this case and would this prevent me from setting up a smart switch? If not, would it be possible to use this switch with a single black wire that would go into either the line/load? Thank you very much for your time and help! I really appreciate any opportunity to learn more. submitted by /u/nullbahamut [link] [comments]

Simple programmable WiFi thermostat. Posted: 13 Dec 2019 11:19 AM PST Help me cut through the BS. I'm looking for a simple WiFi programmable thermostat. All I want to do is be able to program 7 days schedule from my phone rather then have to stand in front of it and manually scroll through all 7 days all 4 periods to program it. I'd like to be able to override the program from my phone when I'm not home. Or restart the program if I walk out and forget i had the program overridden. Everyone keeps recommending a nest but no one can confirm if I can program it myself and not let it self learn. Any help would be appreciated. submitted by /u/jbro507 [link] [comments]

MyQ smart garage door review Posted: 13 Dec 2019 11:51 AM PST It took minutes to set up, mostly because I watched the video included with their set up process. If I skipped the video it would have been just as easy. The good - remote access to open/close the door is nice. - guest access... I'll definitely use this for people watching the dogs or getting the mail while we're away. - the hub + one sensor (one garage door) bundle was on sale for $27. - a second sensor for a second door is cheap ($25). - The app tells you if the door is open or closed. - There's a notification that lets you set it up to warn of the door is left open too long, that's able to be scheduled by time/day of week. The bad - when I hit the button it made a sound like a fire alarm for 10-15 seconds (more on this) to warn people in the garage that the door was going to move. The noise was horrible, and the delay is a little annoying. - the instructions made it seem like the hub needed to be mounted on the ceiling near the garage door opener. It does not. I have it over near my workbench for now. I'll probably mount it above the workbench. - there's a strong in the hub that flashes when the door is moving. It's annoying but easily covered so doesn't matter much. I remedied the sound issue with pliers. Just grab it and pull... if the speaker is in your palm, the hub won't make noise anymore 😬. So yes I broke it but it won't make that noise again. submitted by /u/kmkmrod [link] [comments]

ENERWAVE Z-Wave in-wall switch bug Posted: 13 Dec 2019 03:58 PM PST https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KQLLNGJ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ​ I've got a couple of these units installed and for the most part they work great. However, I've found that if I change both manual wall switches at the same time, the unit will sometimes only change one of the relays, requiring an extra switch change to change the other relay. Has anyone else experienced this, or better yet, found a way to fix it? Alternately, are there other in-wall switches that might be worth checking out instead? submitted by /u/jayekub [link] [comments]

Use Tuya Convert to flash a Costco CE wifi plug with Tasmota, updated and now it's bricked. Posted: 13 Dec 2019 09:02 PM PST I managed to flash it fine with the default version of Tasmota (7.0.0.3 I think) Tuya Convert put on it, but when I tried to update via the web interface to the webpage it had preset, it did not come back from the update process. It doesn't seem to find an address now, and going through the Tuya Convert process doesn't seem to pick it up anymore. Any ideas on how to get this flashed again? submitted by /u/ikidd [link] [comments]

More questions about Robot vacuums Posted: 13 Dec 2019 03:02 PM PST So basically i am debating getting one, i absolutely hate passing the broom. I love mopping but the broom/vacuum is something i will push back on the list. So i started looking at robot vacuums and after 10 youtube videos and multiple reviews from all over i've decided on 3 choices. 1)Cheap (240$ CAD) eufy 11s 2)Costly(500$ CAD) Roborock S5 3)None at all I live in a 4 room apartment with only hardfloor with my dog and my brother. My dog shed, it sheds a LOT. I need to broom twice a week if i dont want to have hairs everywhere and even there it is still around. My budget it a bit tight hence why im asking you if buying the expensive one would actually do its job well enough for the price or i could go the cheaper route since i only live in a small ish apartment(around 1000 sq feet-) Thank you very much! submitted by /u/killmekillmekillmeki [link] [comments]

PFSense with Smart Devices. Posted: 13 Dec 2019 07:50 PM PST I order a TuyaGo Smart IR blaster and a My Q garage door opener as my first smart devices and neither of them seem to be working which leads me to believe it's on my end. My router is PFsense 2.4.4 with a Ubiquiti AC-Pro AP. No fancy settings going. I disabled 5GHz completely on the AP to troubleshoot since these items are only on 2.4 GHz. Neither of them are connecting to my Wifi with is 10' away. Everything else I have works fine. I also tried enabling UPnP just to see if that solved the issue but it didn't. Either neither of the devices actually work, or something is wrong with them connecting to my Wifi. Does anybody have any other ideas to try? I'm about to just send them back. If I can't even initially get them set up it shows me how reliable they will be to actually use. ​ My Q servers are down so that is possibly why it's not working. submitted by /u/Insanereindeer [link] [comments]

Lutron Caseta, Somfy Motors, and URC MXHomePro Posted: 13 Dec 2019 06:56 AM PST I know how to do this a million other ways but this is what I have to work with here. I have a URC MXHomePro control system controlling a theater room and the lights with Lutron Caseta. This room also has somfy shades. Unfortunately Somfy shades don't appear to work with MXHomePro. Anyone have an idea to control these shades with what I have through URC? I ws thinking something along the lines of IFTTT, but they/lutron don't allow Caseta to be a trigger for an IFTTT. ​ I have my head too wrapped up in it and can't think straight and am sure I am missing something easy. submitted by /u/Hottytoddyfl [link] [comments]

myQ and Google Home Posted: 13 Dec 2019 06:50 PM PST Hello folks, good evening! I'm super excited to automate my home during this holiday season. I bought myQ Smart Garage Opener, but I'm about to return it for three reasons: 1- If I have to ask something to myQ, I have to say: Hey Google, tell myQ to open my garage door. I wanted a solution that goes straight to the point: Hey Google, open my garage door. 2- If I ask myQ to open my garage door, it's not opening the garage door. It asks me which door, and then it says that the Garage Door is closed. 3- When the garage door is closing, it beeps and I couldn't configure to disable it. If you have a baby in your arms this is the only thing that you want to hear. Having said that, do you have any option for a Smart Garage Opener? Thanks! submitted by /u/Cladeira [link] [comments]

Looking for keypad Posted: 13 Dec 2019 06:42 PM PST So I am new here but am trying to home roll my automation including motion sensors using web things. This would mean having an alarm style keypad for the wife, kid or overnight guests. Yeah I can have them use their phones but sooner or later someone is coming home with a phone with no electricity. I could use a WIFI, Z Wave, or Zigbee solution. Just trying not to break the bank on something this simple. I am even willing to put one together (pi zero w + pad ?) Any help / advice would be appreciated. submitted by /u/lstull [link] [comments]

Syncing Blink and Ring Security Systems Posted: 13 Dec 2019 06:09 PM PST I have a couple Blink security cameras and a Ring security system. I am trying to arm/disarm both systems with a single command. For example, if I set Ring to away or home Blink will arm as well. If I set it to Disarm Blink will disarm as well. Any ideas? I have looked at IFTTT but I am unable to find an applet that does what I want. Is there a way to create applets or commands on IFTTT or any other options? submitted by /u/Chrs987 [link] [comments]

Issue with HDMI Switcher (With audio extraction) Posted: 13 Dec 2019 11:48 AM PST I do hope this is the right sub, just found it through a quick google! Basically the situation that occurs is the following: I'm trying to set up my PC, Switch and PS4 all through the same HDMI Switcher (With audio, specifically a headphone jack so i can use my headphones with all 3) however the switch refuses to display the display from my PC to my monitor, the PS4 and Switch work just fine, but with the PC it refuses to send a signal. I have a HDMI switch without an audio feature, and that one works fine with every single device, it's just the one with the audio that doesn't seem to work, could it be a problem specifically with the switcher itself, or something software related on my PC? submitted by /u/JoshuaRAWR [link] [comments]

SmartThings Hub + Alexa won't connect Posted: 13 Dec 2019 05:45 PM PST Hi, I just got the SmartThings hub and have 3 alexa devices.

Non-Decora smart switches Posted: 13 Dec 2019 05:38 PM PST So decora style switches (the larger rectangular style here in the US) have a very low WAF in my house. I'm looking for something that has a toggle style that actually latches like the old school ones. I know there are also dimmers in this form factor in the form of a little slider next to the toggle. That would be ideal for me. Does such a thing exist? submitted by /u/ZombieLinux [link] [comments]

Setup for automated lights in bathroom Posted: 13 Dec 2019 11:06 AM PST I'll try to make this short. I use smartthings with a GE wall switch and GE motion sensor in the bathroom. We've enjoyed having the lights turn on and off automatically but the issue we run into is the sensor can't see us since the curtain blocks the shower. I saw some users say to setup the times when you shower for the light to stay on longer (10 minutes instead of 5) but that did not work when I set it up. Maybe I set it up incorrectly. We've dealt with it for a year now since I've been lazy but would like to figure something out to where the lights won't shut off mid shower and us have to open the curtains and wave. Some people said water and humidity sensors but others said those take to long to revert to a not triggered state. Anything else I should try or am I SOL? Thanks. submitted by /u/geocastaneda [link] [comments]
