| Anyone having trouble with their Ecobee 4 constantly going offline the past few days? Posted: 10 Dec 2019 10:25 AM PST I have to actually touch my thermostat to use it, like some caveman. [link] [comments] | ||
| Redoing my entire home. Where should i start? Posted: 10 Dec 2019 10:07 PM PST Hey guys. I am redeveloping my entire home and basically starting from scratch. However, I do not know where to start. I have already mapped out my home's lighting map and figure I will have 78 LED blubs across 4 rooms. The easiest route is to get 78 Philipe Hue GU10 blubs which will cost me a fortune. Are there any alternatives? I really don need individual blub control per say. I just need a good dash board for different zones. [link] [comments] | ||
| Control LED strips with Harmony Posted: 10 Dec 2019 07:32 PM PST I was gifted one of those stands if LEDs that you can cut down to length and then control the lights and colors of the strip from a remote. I'm considering integrating it into my theater room, but it's controlled by an IR remote. Since the Harmony comes with the mini IR blasters, I'd like it to be able to control it. The problem is I don't know how to reach Harmony the right signals to be able to control it. Any thoughts on how I might do that? [link] [comments] | ||
| Chamberlain MyQ hub with Genie garage door opener Posted: 10 Dec 2019 07:29 PM PST For anyone having trouble connecting a Genie garage door opener to a Chamberlain MyQ hub, see the instructions at the following link, especially step 13. Even with these notes it took me a few tries to get it to work, and it takes better part of a minute to connect so it may seem like it's failed - be patient. This specifically worked with a Genie model 1028 opener, which I saw in an old discussion had not worked for others. [link] [comments] | ||
| Looking for recessed light, that is kelvin adjustable and remembers the last mode Posted: 10 Dec 2019 07:08 PM PST I just got my first Lutron Caseta switch and I got a Halo 6in SeleCCTable light to test. It seems great however I'm looking to have it remember the last color when it turns off. Or if I could program a button on the switch to give me daylight or tungsten. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 10 Dec 2019 05:31 PM PST I am getting a 3D printer to make some fun projects with, but I am nervous about the risk of fire during long prints. Does anyone know of a smart smoke detector that I could use to shut off a smart plug that the printer is hooked up to? I am thinking this plus a metal cabinet as an enclosure may help mitigate some risk. I'm open to other suggestions as well! [link] [comments] | ||
| Control a 2 pole switch for fan? Posted: 10 Dec 2019 07:03 PM PST In my master bedroom we have a ceiling fan which is controlled by a current switch. The fan switch actually goes to 2 spots, one at the entry with all the other switches and then one near my head board. The only problem is my wife decided to get a 6 foot headboard 🤦🏽♂️. So now the set of 2 switches that used to use to turn off the light and the fan are blocked by this damn headboard. Note, it's just a standard toggle switch, maybe a 2 pole since it's controlled in 2 places? (I'm no electrician as you can see) I'm looking for some solutions to allow me to not have to reach so far behind the bed or have to go to the other side of the room. I thought I saw these things that go on top of the switch but haven't been able to find anything. I am also open to switching up the switch but wasn't sure if the 2 pole thing (controlled by 2 diff switches makes a difference) [link] [comments] | ||
| Can Nest Thermostat E Heat link be installed in place of a programmer instead? Posted: 10 Dec 2019 06:20 PM PST I have a combi boiler that I use with a single channel programmer, don't have a thermostat in the house. If I was to get a Nest Thermostat E, could I install the Heat Link directly in place of the programmer as I don't have a thermostat wired anywhere? [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 10 Dec 2019 03:24 PM PST I've been trying to find a smart control for my existing ceiling fans for the last year. Most wall switches Ive purchased just hum and don't seem to drive the fan. I was looking at replacing my fans with some smart fans from Becon but they use a remote and Google Assistant. I still wanted traditional control. My existing fans use a capacitor at the wall switch, I found this blog that said they do the same but with a smart switch. Ordered one and it it works perfectly. Now to save up for 6 more to finish off my house. [link] [comments] | ||

| Echo show vs nest hub. Can either play netflix? Yoitube tv? Posted: 10 Dec 2019 10:49 AM PST Ideally would want a device that would show ring cameras, play netflix, YouTube tv, etc. Seems like neither can play netflix..which doesn't make sense as to why they can't. I believe hub can play youtube tv but not the echo. And echo can show ring cameras but not play youtube tv. Are there plans to incorporate these and actually make the product useful?

| Can you think of cool apps you would like to install on your robot vacuum? Posted: 10 Dec 2019 11:39 AM PST I'm working on a framework which will essentially enable you to build and run 3rd party apps on several different models of "smart" robot vacuums(Roomba 9xx, Roborock, Samsung Powerbot etc...). Got several ideas for apps like home security, alarm clock, telegram bot... Can you think of any other cool, useful apps you would like to install on your robot vacuum? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 10 Dec 2019 05:09 PM PST I would love some advice on which in-wall lutron lights switches to buy and how to get the best deal for a bulk purchase (12-20 switches). My needs are: dimming, control by google home app/assistant. Any advice? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 10 Dec 2019 05:09 PM PST Hello Everyone! Is it possible to use a Wemo in conjunction with Alexa in order to automate tasks? For instance turning on one light (Wemo) turns on others (Lutron)? In addition I have a dining room light that is on a dimmer. It's attached to the living room and what I am hoping for is a way so that if the dining room dimmer is above 50% it will turn on the living room lights as well. Has anyone done this before?

| Posted: 10 Dec 2019 05:05 PM PST There are two entrances to my foyer: front door and garage door. There is one primary light fixture in this space which is already operating on a 3way switch: one switch at the front door and a second one up a short set of steps that lead into the kitchen. Basically the space is a "T" with the front door at the south end, garage on the right, and short stairs on the left. I'd like to add a switch to this setup inside the garage door. There happens to be power on the opposite side of the garage wall, as there is an existing garage light switch. This operates a different circuit, however. Rather than feeding wires behind the drywall, through the tiny attic, and down the garage wall, is there a smart solution here? I'm okay with switching out the other two switches with smart switches and getting a hub. Is there a switch or button that can pair to those smart switches and be mounted next to the garage door to essentially operate the smart switches remotely? Ideally compatible with SmartThings, but that's not a dealbreaker. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 10 Dec 2019 06:20 AM PST My mailbox is one of those combined mailboxes for the entire neighborhood. Has anyone done any sort of automations or something smart with it? Is it possible to replace the key lock with another smart one? It's the only key that I have to use. Wondering what others have done. [link] [comments] | ||
| Need a home kit compatible switch or a wireless three switch for basement light.... Posted: 10 Dec 2019 03:55 PM PST I have a basement light with the switch on 1st floor inside the house. I'd like to be able to turn the light on with my iPhone, or even just have a few other wireless switches in the basement to act like a three way switch in the hall leading to it. I believe I have a neutral available at the switch, but don't want to use any hubs. A bulb isn't going to work because the switch is always getting turned off by accident. Are there any home kit switch options, or even a wireless switch setup that would keep me from going in the house every time I need to turn on the basement light? [link] [comments] | ||
| Recommendation for automating electrical lights and lightswitches Posted: 10 Dec 2019 12:01 PM PST I was trying to get a feel for what's out there when it comes to automating electrical switches in a home and I was pretty quickly overwhelmed with the options out there. Can anyone recommend some pointers into some feasible solutions ? Here is my current setup:
Now I want to add electrical switches into the mix. I would prefer something NOT WiFi based because I don't want to clutter my airwaves with a bunch of WiFi devices. Given this configuration, what system would you recommend ? Is it possible to connect everything - my ring devices, August smart lock and the electrical switches in one system ? If that were possible, I can surely invest in a Z-Wave smart hub. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 10 Dec 2019 07:01 AM PST I have a VeraEdge Z-Wave system (thinking of going to Home Assistant in the near future) and I would like to have a door chime whenever the front door opens (like two quick beeps). I want the ability to turn off the chime via Z-wave at times so that I don't wake the kids. I have not been able to find any options out there, does anyone have any products they've found that can do that? [link] [comments] | ||
| Turn on the lights with movement sensors from your alarm system Posted: 10 Dec 2019 08:29 AM PST Hello, I am choosing a smart home alarm system and I am currently oriented to buy a SomFy product. At home I have wi-fi lights compatible with Alexa and the Philips Hue bridge, and I'd like to turn them on when a movement is detected. What I'm trying to understand is whether I can avoid buying dedicated movement sensors and simply use the ones from the home security system. So I guess the question is whether SomFy Home Security movement sensors can be used with Alexa (or IFTTT if not Alexa directly) to trigger anything else when the alarm is deactivated. And if not SomFy, if this is applicable with any other home security products. Looks like a simple thing to search for, but I miserably fail googling this. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 10 Dec 2019 02:17 PM PST Anyone know how to get this piece of junk to pair with the sensor? Nexx support is only open until 5pm so I can't call them [link] [comments] |
