| Does anyone here run self-hosted open source smart home control software? Posted: 09 Dec 2019 11:13 PM PST I'm wondering if anyone here have their home automation control system composed of open source or at least self hosted software instead of trusting your house to a company's "cloud". What do you run and how complex is the system? What kind of compute power is required for a residential house? [link] [comments] | ||
| Homekit + Alexa-Compatible Devices on iOS Posted: 09 Dec 2019 04:55 PM PST Hello Everyone, I am new to this subreddit and did a brief search before starting this post. As a household we originally bought into the HomeKit platform, but since it came out several years ago we are frustrated with the lack of options and immense cost with everything. Amazon recently had a great bundle deal on an Echo 3 and both the Amazon Smart Plug as well as TP-Link Plug. After jumping on board, I am very happy with the products and will be looking to move more into this environment. Are there any iOS applications that bridge the gaps between the following accessories:
I do not need Siri integration, but what I am looking for is a cohesive application we can have on our phones that will allow us to turn on the kitchen light with either our phones or Alexa. I'm tired of trying to remember what light is on each platform and then opening the corresponding app. "There has to be a better way!" The Amazon Alexa app has us like 90% of the way there—under the Devices I am able to see everything we run in our house and interact with it. The downside is the app is clunky and is giving a lot of power to everyone in terms of installing new skills / changing settings. [link] [comments] | ||

| Not sure if it exists, could totally use something like this. Posted: 09 Dec 2019 06:47 PM PST Hey all, My wife is decorating the house, and has come up with all kinds of beautiful ways to hang out interior lights. Of course, all these ways leave wires hanging to reach my smart plugs. Does anyone know if there is a product that acts like a mini-UPS, that is smart? Something that takes AA batteries maybe? My google-fu has failed me, so hoping y'all can help me. TIA [link] [comments] | ||
| Caseta PD-6ANS not working with dimmable LEDs Posted: 09 Dec 2019 05:45 PM PST I bought a Caseta PD-6ANS switch and dimmer stater kit. I installed both the 2 button switch and dimmer and connected them to the hub. I initially had CREE LEDs on the PD-6ANS, and it worked prefectly, but those LEDs were too bright for my front porch, so I swapped them for Ecosmart BR30 65w equivalent soft white LEDs. Now the Ecosmart bulbs won't turn on. Both the CREE and Ecosmart bulbs are dimmable. I have the switch connected to neutral. What gives? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 09 Dec 2019 05:20 PM PST I have owned a Bond for a few months and everything was working fine. Then sometime In the last few days it started with the orange ring. Despite performing multiple resets, I cannot get it to be added to my account again and I keep getting the orange ring. Anyone else having issues? Any advice would be appreciated.

| Security Camera Recommendation? Posted: 09 Dec 2019 04:29 PM PST My house is on a busy street so the cameras will probably be on 24 hours a day, so running on battery is not a very good option. I also need to have 2-way communication. The images need to be good for both day time and night time. Do you have any recommendation for me? I was thinking Blink XT2 Outdoor/Indoor Smart Security Camera but it only has a wireless option. [link] [comments] | ||
| Repair/replace dying Nuvo E6G 12-zone whole house audio system? Posted: 09 Dec 2019 03:20 PM PST My ~10 year old 12-zone Nuvo NV-E6GM and NV-E6GX amps have gotten REALLY noisy over the last few months, both whining at the amps themselves and a ton of crackling at my in-ceiling speakers. On top of that, a bunch of the OLED keypads have dimmed to the point they are unreadable. So, I'm questioning if trying to get the amps fixed is even worth it at this point? I'm not even sure if Nuvo would fix them, since I bought them off eBay (I think) and installed them myself. Is there a newer/better option I should be looking at to replace my Nuvo amps? All the speakers are home-run to the amp location, not through the keypads. The keypads are home-run to the amp location over CAT5(E?), though I wouldn't really need keypads if the new system had a way to turn on/off zones from Android phones or Google Assistant devices. I'm using 4 Google Chromecast Audios as the sources, one for each member of the family, so each person just casts to their Chromecast and then selects their source wherever they are in the house.

| Garage Door Opener Compatible With Alexa/Z-Wave Posted: 09 Dec 2019 10:26 AM PST Hey all. I currently have a modest home automation setup. I have a Ring alarm system that acts as my hub, and if I remember right it is z-wave compatible. I have a sensor that can tell me when the garage door is open, and I use Alexa to alert me if it has been open for more than 10 minutes. What I don't have, is a way to close it if I accidentally leave it open. I have a chamberlain opener, and I know chamberlain makes their MyQ or whatever, but I hear it charges a fee and isn't compatible with Alexa/ring. Are there any controllers/openers that will work with Alexa/ring? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 09 Dec 2019 06:02 AM PST Dear fellow home-automationers. As i struggle with getting out of bed in the morning, I want to build an alarm clock that ... ... lets me set the alarm via Smartphone ... lets a lightbulb get brighter over half an hour before the alarm goes off ... plays my own playlist on my sound system when i have to get up ... (optional) starts my coffee machine so the coffee is ready when i get up I´m a complete newbie in home automation and this is my first project. As I am planning to start more projects after this one, I am looking for a setup that can be expanded in the future (maybe a RasPi). Do you guys have tips on which devices to pick, what protocols to use (ZigBee, Z-Wave,...)? In general: How do I do this and how do i start? Thanks a lot! :) [link] [comments] | ||
| Tuya smart plug tasmota problem. Posted: 09 Dec 2019 01:34 PM PST So I just found out my tuya smart sockets (Teckin SP23) are the new ones with the RTL8710BN chip in them. I know they can't be flashed with tasmota, so is there any alternative to tasmota that will work on them or alternatively is there any way to know which version you're getting either before you buy it or without having to destroy a plug to find out.

| Secondary wifi network solely for smart devices??? Posted: 09 Dec 2019 01:15 PM PST Hey guys, just starting the swim (a slow dive) into the world of home automation. I just purchased a few wifi smart switches,outlets and plugs (1 pack of each from costco) now that I am doing some further research I will be heading down the smart hub route eventually. For now I do have a couple of older routers sitting unused in the basement, would it be worth setting up a secondary wifi network in my house with a separate ssid strictly for smart devices as my home automation expands?? Do smart devices cause that much load on a local wifi network to worry about it?? Thanks in advance [link] [comments] | ||
| you remodeled your home with automation in mind: what do you regret doing/ not doing? Posted: 09 Dec 2019 01:03 PM PST Hello, I'm remodeling my home and trying to finilize all the wiring before electrician comes, right after the holiday. Thanks to this forum I think I got a good idea of good practices and other things to keep in mind. but between CCTV and lighting, sound systems and security systems, I'm sure there are plenty things I'm missing. From your experience, what do you wish you had done before the drywall went up? and on the flip side, is there anything where you sunk time and $$ and wish you didn't? thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Question about Ring video doorbell pro power brick Posted: 09 Dec 2019 12:24 PM PST I recently installed a ring video doorbell pro which runs off of the 16-VAC supply voltage. As part of the installation I connected the pro power kit (I think it is called?) inside of my mechanical door bell, the little brick like thingy that connects to the FRONT and TRANSFORMER terminals in the doorbell. So far everything works - but I notice that when I press the video door bell pro button, along with my chime...chiming in, I get a fast vibrating noise coming in from the doorbell itself. I was expecting the doorbell to work like before, i.e. it would 'ding-dong' even with the power kit connected. But apparently not. Is this the expected behavior of the pro video doorbell ? Or is there something I am missing ? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Product Suggestion for Smart Bulb with Remote Posted: 09 Dec 2019 09:15 AM PST I am slowly adding Caseta switches throughout my home to control lights and ceiling fans. Upstairs all of my rooms have a separate switch for the light and the fan. This makes Caseta perfect. My problem is the basement. I have three rooms that are all connected on the same circuit. So each room has a switch, but each switch controls the lights in all three rooms. To top that off, two of the rooms have ceiling fan/light kits, and there is not a separate switch for the fan. My thought is to put in smart bulbs in the three rooms, then cover the existing switches with either a plate or a smart bulb remote. I would then control the fans with the pull chain, and the lights with the remote/google. I use google home for my control. Any suggestions on what bulbs might pair nicely with the Caseta? Or perhaps another solution I am not considering? Any recommendations on the best way to cover the switches so they don't get turned off? I am open to replacing fixtures if that matters.
