| Advice for getting into simple home automation? Posted: 04 Dec 2019 10:10 PM PST What i'm here to find are some ideas on what to get, from which company, and why it would be a good one in your opinion. Ive tried searching for a while, but its usually from a company I don't know, or it isn't for my use case. I am of the mind currently to stay in my little Amazon and/or Google ecosystem as they are well known brands and returning things should be easier with such a large brand than one I don't know of. I have not started creating a network at home yet, but I would like recommendations for things that can be controlled via amazon products I wish to buy such as a Echo 3. I have seen an app named IFTTT and the amount of customization is mouth watering which leads to me ask for recommendations to be compatible with Alexa and IFTTT in some way for automations sake. I would like to keep the system as simple as possible(meaning not 6 different brands of wall plugs and lights) with some recommendations for these:
Thank you! If allowed I would give you this video reference to help kind of guide what I am looking for. Most of the things in this video are what I want to setup, in different ways. Would these be good products? Video [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 04 Dec 2019 09:11 PM PST Anyone know if the roborock s50 or tesvor X500 can be controlled via ifttt ? or otherwise if so what are the ways to do it. cheers [link] [comments] | ||
| Robot Vacuum App Asking For Location? Posted: 04 Dec 2019 07:15 PM PST I recently got a Deebot 920 2 in 1 vacuum/mop. I haven't really had a chance to use it extensively, but one thing I noticed when I was setting up the device is the app that it uses asked for my location when looking for WiFi connections. Personally this seems like an unnecessary request given that it just needs to connect to wifi. Does anyone happen to know what it needs this information? [link] [comments] | ||

| Neutral wire issues with Wemo switches Posted: 04 Dec 2019 08:54 PM PST Tonight I tried and failed to install these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NPZVYR1?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Our house is new, and has a few dozen Philips hue bulbs throughout. We have a chandelier in our entryway that requires candelabras, and the Hue ones are not very nice looking, so instead it just has regular bulbs hooked up to a 3 way switch. On one of the switches, installing the Wemo causes the 5 Philips Hue Filament bulbs in the dining room to flicker, flash, and generally become unresponsive. Powering them on and off at the switch works perfectly fine, but dimming them causes the flickering to return. One the other switch, installing the Wemo causes that breaker to trip. Putting the dumb switches back in returns everything back to normal, status quo, no flickering or tripping. Swapping the Wemo's into the other locations changes nothing. This leads me to believe the neutral wires are the problem. My question is, basically, WTF is happening. Is it possible these switches use so much power on the neutral side, that they would trip one breaker and cause flickering on another? [link] [comments] | ||
| Nest Mini: Can doorbells just chime without dialog? Posted: 04 Dec 2019 08:41 PM PST I just bought 6 Nest Mini speakers because in some places in my house I can't hear the doorbell. It works great with the Nest Hello doorbell but I'd prefer not to have Google tell me that someone is at the front door. I just want a ding dong. Any ideas how to make that happen?

| Posted: 04 Dec 2019 07:47 PM PST Haven't seen any new posts on this in a while but wondering what you're using for Stringify alternatives. I primarily liked and used Stringify for ability to execute based on multiple AND and OR functions. I have and use webcore but just don't have the time to learn it for more complex automations. And it's overkill for some things [link] [comments] | ||

| Recomendations for home automation server. Posted: 05 Dec 2019 12:12 AM PST Morning dear people of reddit, I am just starting to mess on with home automation (got some bulbs ... some sockets, getting a IR interface and a 433 Mhz bridge for switches...). As I am just starting I thought it might be a good idea to keep as much as possible "in house". I am painfully aware that 6 months down theroad I could lose my internet connection and not be able to even turn on a light. I am not farmiliat with unix but do have a lot of windows experence along with good experence of VM and a fair bit of programming under my belt. I also have a decent spec home video server running 24/7 - plenty of spare CPU and ram so was thinking of sticking something on there. I don't mind if the guest is unix as long as there is not too much work needed on there... I am after recomendations on what would be the best software to run that would allow me to keep things working should I lose the net connection. I know about Node Red and that seems to get a lot of love but any other suggestions are welcome. [link] [comments] | ||
| Canbee 2 and HUE on a single zigbee mesh? Posted: 05 Dec 2019 12:07 AM PST I has a HUE network for years but I wanted to add some extra sensors that were not supported. I emded up ordering a Conbee 2 dongle and hoping to use it to create my own smart hub. Discovering deconz was not really a pleasure as it required me setup X11 in order to use it, I hope i can find a better alternative that works from TUI or web jnterface. The big surprise was that I soon discovered that I was supposed to stop using hue hub and move all my lights to the mesh setup by conbee. I find this insane from the point of view of reliability, hue worked fine for years, no downtime. Now I would have a DIY solution using a one of the opensource hubs. Is it possible to join the same mesh? Can two zigbee hubs really coexist while some devices are controlled by one and some by other? What opensource gateway is a better bet? I am inclined to prefer a python based one or at least one that supports python. I tried mozilla gateway but it feels like being years away from production quality. Note: I use homekit a lot.

| Any affordable Bryant Evolution wifi thermostats? Posted: 04 Dec 2019 11:55 PM PST Hi, my house has (crazy I know) 5 AVAC units. 2 I have successfully installed Nest Thermostats. The others are run by a Bryant Evolution system with an older dumb thermostat. Unfortunately Nest is not compatible, so I looked up what is and was horrified to see they were all around $700. Has anyone had success modding their Bryant system for Nest? It looks like it can be done, but it may be more cost than the $700 proprietary unit. Or are there any 3rd party wifi units that are plug and play and less $$$? [link] [comments] | ||
| Favorite remotes with backlight? Harmony hub, zwave, nvidia shield, tcl tv Posted: 04 Dec 2019 07:40 PM PST i dont do a ton of tv watching but i'm trying to find a universal remote to control my tv (tcl), nvidia shield, and if possible some zwave. I currently have a harmony hub with the companion remote. If it was backlit it'd be almost perfect. I see they must have released a new companion that has some dedicated home automation buttons but still not backlit. the more simple remote the better. I dont understand the use for the harmonies that have the big touch screen [link] [comments] | ||
| Triple/Double Smart Lightswitch? Posted: 04 Dec 2019 01:24 PM PST Hey all, I'm looking to add smart switches around my house and have a few lightswitches that have 2/3 switches in one panel. These don't appear to be very common and I'm worried about ordering something that's isn't from a name brand. Any suggestions? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Alarm.com and smart things question Posted: 04 Dec 2019 05:09 PM PST We have a security system through AMP, but it looks like most of the gear seems to say alarm.com. Is there anyway that I can connect the thermostat and door/window sensors to smart things for HA purposes? [link] [comments] | ||
| Z-Wave Smart Lock Combos - What would you do? Posted: 04 Dec 2019 03:32 PM PST What would you recommend for a combination of smart locks for three exterior doors? For example, For my front door I will get a four-piece set with Z-Wave, but I wouldn't do that for my back patio door, or the door off the side of my garage, but I do want a keypad on both of those doors, and the option of opening the deadbolts remotely. Would I do the four-piece set for the front, then just some smart deadbolts and "dumb" doorknobs for my garage and back patio doors? I don't have any existing hardware as we're building a brand new home [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 04 Dec 2019 11:06 AM PST I am looking to add some LED lighting on our Sunshade/screened in porch. All of the screens are cased in like a typical window would be, so I have a nice edge to run all of the LEDs pointing up. The Porch is 16 x 16, and my initial thought was to run it on the 3 exterior walls (not the one that touches the house, meaning I would have approximately 24 feet of LEDs on each side, each side being somewhat in the shape of an L (There is a plugin on the outer most wall for a television that is mounted in the peak. I am looking for suggestions on LED strips to use, be it the bare style, the coated waterproof variations, or to use the diffuser housings on the top of the ledge as well. I am not sold either way on color vs a white color. I am also open to suggestions on how to control it. I would imagine that most of the standard controllers will not handle a run of that length, potentially could split it into the 2 16' runs plus 2 8' runs if that would help. I am in the process of building out my HomeAssistant solution, so having it be able to integrate into that would be a plus as well. [link] [comments] | ||
| Help finding or creating a hub Posted: 04 Dec 2019 01:14 PM PST I need help with controlling these blind wands: They use FM 433.92 and as far as I can tell there's no available hubs that control it. Is there a way to "create" a hub or are there any available for purchase? [link] [comments] | ||
| Do I need a SmartThings Hub and other noob questions Posted: 04 Dec 2019 04:53 PM PST I'm new to all this HA and love the idea of it, but am not very tech savvy. I don't know programming or anything. I live in an apt so that limits changing switches/outlets/adding motion sensors. My current set-up is: Amazon Alexa Echo2 (hub) and 2 echo dots Nest E thermostat Hue Bridge 2 Hue Lightstrips Hue Bulbs (3 color, 2 white) 2 Kasa/TP link outlets 3 WeMo mini outlets (got them for $4ea on clearance, haven't figured out what I'll use them for) As of now, everything is setup with the Echo2 for voice control or I control through the hue app since Alexa has issues connecting sometimes. Is the SmartThings hub an improvement over my current setup? How so? Is there anything more I can be doing with HA without being too technical? How hard is it really to switch to HomeAssistant and learn the programming necessary? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Verification of system for home owners insurance? Posted: 04 Dec 2019 06:55 AM PST Recently talked to my State Farm agent who told me that if I buy a camera system, all I will need to do is provide a certificate from the company to prove that I have the cameras setup. Do all of the companies (Arlo, Blink, etc) have certificates that you can users proof for setup of simple camera systems for home security, or do these certificates usually only get recognized by how owners policies if they are from something more encompassing like a simply safe system or ADT? I would like to get a decently priced two cam system but if it won't even be recognized or there is no certificate that can be produced then it won't help me offset the cost like I hope.

| Any way to connect Wyze devices to a hub? Posted: 04 Dec 2019 10:30 AM PST I'm looking to reduce the number of devices connected to my router. Is it possible to connect Wyze cameras to a hub? [link] [comments] | ||
| How can I tell my FireTV Cube to turn on the TV and tune to a specific channel on command? Posted: 04 Dec 2019 04:26 PM PST I want to hook up a motion sensor (Or use a smartthings home/away fob in order to trigger my fireTV Cube to turn on my TV, open Hulu w/ Live TV, and tune to a specific channel when I get home from work. I can do this by voice as soon as I walk in, but I would like to set it up automatically to happen when I arrive home. Is this possible? [link] [comments] |
