| Any Alternatives to Philips Hue + Hue Switch? Posted: 12 Dec 2019 09:15 PM PST Importantly, I don't think we can use most "smart switches" - we use lamps in most of the rooms in our house because the light switches don't actually seem to be connected to anything (there's no "overhead lights' they're connected to because the rooms don't have them, and they don't seem to affect the actual power outlets in the rooms). The only system I found so far that I know will actually work is using philips hue bulbs + hue switches in each room (plus of course the hub) . I'm just wondering if there are any other solutions that are more elegant and/or cheaper? Are there any other companies with products that work like the hue switch (don't need to be attached to a working switch outlet)? [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 12 Dec 2019 06:53 PM PST Hi automators! I just purchased a home and am super excited to put automation to use. I'm looking for suggestions on the best items that will also work well together. I have done quite a bit of research and appreciate any and all feedback—so thank you for taking the time to help me out! Currently own: - Echo Dot (x4) What I'm interested in: - Smartthings mesh wifi I'm used to using multiple apps so I love the idea of Smartthings single app use but don't know how to work with it yet. I'm not much of a programmer and have heard fastest results with keeping your hub's network in-home rather in the cloud but I'm okay with using cloud systems if it means ease-of-use. If you have any recommendations of other products or directions I should go in, please let me know! Thanks again! Oh and also, you rock. EDIT: added doorbells [link] [comments] | ||

| Need help with Konnected board Posted: 12 Dec 2019 06:46 PM PST Alright, so I have everything set up but having trouble with the siren. My siren messed up one board so I got a replacement and was told not to plug it in unless I get a relay. Now I have relay but I'm confused about how to wire it up. Can someone help me? I have listed below how I think to wire it but mostly just guessing. Thanks! Relay / Konnected Board DC+ -> +5V DC- -> GND IN -> OUT NO -> COM -> Black Siren Wire NC -> Red Siren Wire [link] [comments] | ||
| Home automation NUC for running both HASSIO and Plex media server Posted: 12 Dec 2019 04:52 PM PST I am thinking of investing in an NUC and install HASSIO over it. But I also want to have it run a Plex media server and serve media files from an attached HDD. I assume it might be too much to use a Raspberry Pi because although it can run HASSIO quite well, running the plex media server might be too much for it to handle ? What is the best configuration for an NUC to do this ? [link] [comments] | ||
| Lutron Aurora with non hue bulbs Posted: 12 Dec 2019 04:45 PM PST So I'm working on a proof of concept for the wife to use smart bulbs in the lamps with a Lutron Aurora for physical control. I was wondering what others experiences have been with pairing the aurora directly to non-hue bulbs. I don't want to pair the aurora to the hub as I run home assistant and there are times when it is down and I don't want to lose physical control in that situation. Currently, I am trying it out with a Cree Connected bulb, but turning the light on and off seems rather finicky... sometimes it works for a bit, but then stops working. I'm not against getting white hue bulbs as they aren't too expensive, but would that work with the husbzb-1 zigbee stick? [link] [comments] | ||
| Connected Smoke Alarm suggestions for Australia (QLD) Posted: 12 Dec 2019 04:38 PM PST Other than Nest, does anyone know of any AU-certified 240v smart smoke alarms? My main desires are:
The one that's actually a requirement for me is remote hush. The fire department has already been forced to enter my property once before due to a faulty smoke alarm which was going off for an hour and causing my dog a lot of distress. Network notifications are a fairly low priority as I can set my security cameras to listen for smoke alarm sounds and notify me if they hear one. I don't specifically need it to connect to Home Assistant, but some form of access would be nice - even if it were a cloud-based API. TIA for any suggestions! [link] [comments] | ||
| Do August smart locks work with Ring Video Doorbells? Posted: 12 Dec 2019 03:53 PM PST I'm considering the following: Front door: August smart lock pro Back door: Yale x August Right now I have a Ring video doorbell set up at the front, but I'm not sure how nice ring and august play together. Will I be missing out if I buy August locks? Should I consider something else? I really like the idea of just using by existing deadbolt for the front of the house, without having the public know I have a smart lock there. [link] [comments] | ||
| Smart Sensors vs Random movement on Robo Vacuums Posted: 12 Dec 2019 09:45 AM PST Hi, this is my first time seriously considering a Robo Vacuum. So, is first post here. My House is 60 squared meters (592 squared feet if i converted correctly) with 3 bedrooms. The Main uses would be: helping with cleaning after living with 3 cats. The debris, LOOTS of Pet Hair and dust of the litter box all around the house. I Live in Chile, so the local offer is crap or waaay obsolete. Expanding to Buying on Amazon or likewise, for the budget i was aiming, the short list has reduced to:
The Ion can be shipped to Chile, but on February im going to Canada so buying a R4 there is an option. Now, the question: ARE THE LASER SENSORS/APP worth the price difference? Since is probably gonna be a long term purchase, i could bite the bullet and spend the extra cash, and Room Mapping seems sexy as hell, but only if is really an improvement and not only a PR Flair. I read a lot of good comments on the Shark Ion, but -speaking from ignorance- the fact that it moves randomly and does not remember when it was when it runs of out battery seems kinda...dumb?. On the other hand, it does the job and at half price. Any Help (or alternative) would be apreciated. I also read good things on the Roborock 5, but with a lot of warnings that it does not use the App as well as the Roborock 4, if you have experience on that, you would be a lifesaver. Thanks.

| Best Zigbee bulb to buy for Phillips hue, (future compabilitiy) Posted: 12 Dec 2019 04:14 AM PST So I want to make sure I get this right before I go into it. Phillips hue bulb Aqara Bulb, Both are Zigbee, are all zigbee bulbs compability with Hue? Are certain bulbs got better zigbee protocol for strenght and reliability? Can hue bulbs be used in any other zigbee protocol? Looking to get a bulb that I can be sure if i change my hub to somehting else in the future my bulbs will be compatible, my understand is buy cheapest zigbee bulb that does the job needed, however as always cheap could mean it breaks before the 5 -10 life span [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 12 Dec 2019 02:48 PM PST So I want to order for Christmas my first smart lights for my bedroom. The most popular ones are the Philips ones but I don't know if they work for my ceiling. I link some pictures of the lights I have. What smart lights do you recommend? Pictures: Additionally, I have a smart tv and a desktop PC and in the future, I'm interested in making them also smart (able to turn them on and off with Alexa). Thank you [link] [comments] | ||

| Home Automation set up for small ranch (1-2 acre). Posted: 12 Dec 2019 01:06 PM PST So my dream is to buy a house with some land (about 1-2 Acre) and have a small farm (Vegetables, Fruits, and Ducks, mostly) as well as a workshop to do wood/metal work in. Naturally these things (farm, workshop, and home) will be some what distant from each other and I want to ensure that there will be good connectivity for my smart devices. For LAN/WiFi the solution is simple as I can just run an ethernet line out to wherever and connect a router/switch to hook into my home network. But now that I am starting to think about home automation protocls (z-wave vs zigbee vs wifi vs others) I am wondering what to go with. I am an engineer by trade (EE and CS) so I was planing to use Home Assistant as I like the granular control (and can write Python to extend it if needed). So really I am wondering what protocols are best for my future. The problem is that no one protocol really has all it's bases covered: Zigbee problems:
Z-Wave Problems:
Wifi Problems:
What would you guys recommend for someone in my position and goals? I want to stay away from being locked into a vendor. [link] [comments] | ||
| What's the recommended combo Zwave Temp / Door sensor? Posted: 12 Dec 2019 12:22 PM PST I have a smart things Multisensor (but not the ST hub) connected via a Wink 1.0 hub to my HA instance. However, it seems that the temp and door sensor only updates once every 30 minutes. I'm looking for something as a zwave or zigbee replacement. Zwave preferred. Any recommendations? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 12 Dec 2019 05:40 AM PST All, I think I can talk to Zibee certified devices without an extra hub according to the docs I've found, but could someone with more experience tell me if bulbs like this can be controlled using DiyHue only? If I've missed something obvious, feel free to point it out! [link] [comments] |
