| 4 x tado° Smart Radiator Thermostat dropped in price on Amazon UK Posted: 17 Jan 2020 12:08 PM PST Been monitoring the price of these after trying 1 out. They've dropped down to £135 which isn't bad for 4 values if your in the market for some. [link] [comments] | ||

| What type of sensor to monitor water softener salt level? Posted: 17 Jan 2020 10:19 AM PST Would love to set up an automation to receive a notification when it's time to add salt to my water softener. Any idea what type of sensor I could use that could sit on top of the salt bed and tell me when it's dropped a certain amount? Something compatible with SmartThings. [link] [comments] | ||
| Is there anywhere to buy Roborock other than Amazon? Do any Brick & Mortars sell it? Posted: 17 Jan 2020 04:01 PM PST I bought a ("brand new") S4 from Amazon and it arrived in utterly unacceptable condition and now I'm really afraid of having to order and reorder from a company that isn't checking it's returns. Are there any alternatives? Everything I see is saying Roborock is the best choice, but I'm not seeing it online anywhere notable. [link] [comments] | ||
| Was advised to install Control 4. Posted: 17 Jan 2020 11:52 PM PST As you all may know from my previous post. I am rebuilding my home. Once of my friend overheard my discussion and linked me up with a buddy of his. His pitched me to install Control 4 systems for the best automation experience. I was just planning to use Qubinos and find a good control center. What is everyone's feedback on control 4? This "friend" has been installing control 4 for decades and offered me a good price as well [link] [comments] | ||
| Issues connecting to Magic Home Pro server Posted: 17 Jan 2020 07:04 PM PST Hey there, Just picked up three Sumaote wifi controllers and accompanying light strips for a project and was pretty happy with the performance and setup up until I tried using it with Google assistant. You need to link the controllers up with Magic Home's server to get ifttt, Google assistant, and remote access, but I've been unable to connect to any of their three servers. I guess I'm reaching out to reddit to see if anyone is experiencing similar problems, or if anyone has any suggestions. If it's truly a server issue I'd figure I'd see more talk about it, but I've now tried two different controllers on two different networks, several factory restores, etc. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 17 Jan 2020 12:59 PM PST How do I remove a GE dimmer? The instructions aren't that great in the manual. I have tried putting my hub in exclude and tapping up or down, but it doesn't work. I'm on HASS 100.3 [link] [comments] | ||
| Flood lights switch erratically working (out of range?) Posted: 17 Jan 2020 09:11 PM PST I have a building in my back yard, maybe 30 yards from my house that has flood lights mounted on it. I have a Lutron Caseta switch hooked up to them out in that building, and then a pico remote in the house to serve as a faux 3way switch. The caseta switch often stops working via remote or smart software but always works to the physical touch, I believe range has something to do with it. I have a Lutron smart plug I am trying to use as a repeater and it doesn't appear to do the job. The problem is, there's no outside plugs I can use to help close the mesh gap. The outside building has power, hardwire Ethernet and wifi. So, I can put a WiFi switch there pretty easily. The biggest issue is finding a remote that looks roughly like a rocker, and is battery operated so I can maintain the simulated 3 way behavior in my house. Is WiFi the way to go? Is zwave plus a better option? I have a wink original version I can put to use if necessary. I am using Alexa for voice prompt, and triggering. I appreciate any advice y'all have. Thank you.

| Anyone interested in trading an Ecobee Lite for my Nest E? Posted: 17 Jan 2020 04:09 PM PST I know, weird question. I got this Nest E off rebate from my gas provider, and am not so interested in joining the Google ecosystem. So I'd like to just do a straight trade for a Ecobee Lite. Let me know, and w ecan make a deal! [link] [comments] | ||

| Tablet surface mount directly to electric box? Posted: 17 Jan 2020 07:28 AM PST I am thinking of surface mounting a tablet to use as a home control panel. Are there any options for this where i can mount the tablet directly to an electrical box with 120v to power the tablet? I have seen options that use some type of converter and CAT5, but I have not found anything like this. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 17 Jan 2020 09:50 AM PST Got a fancy peloton bike and love it. I thought I would setup a few other HA things like automatic lights and such. Then it struck me - automating fans maybe based on temperature or just general workout time would be super useful. Maybe even one day have it linked to the peloton api (which seems kinda undocumented but somewhat reverse-engineered). Anyone do anything like this? [link] [comments] | ||
| Question about smart lightbulbs Posted: 17 Jan 2020 03:44 PM PST Sorry if this is a dumb question but the GE bulbs I just got have 2 different watt numbers. One is "watt output equivalent" and the other is "energy used (watts)". They are very different numbers and don't know which one to go by. The lamps I bought are max 40 watt and don't want to start a fire. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 17 Jan 2020 04:27 AM PST So I just bought a house yesterday and I have been trying to find a answer to my question for a few days now. If this is not the right place to ask, let me know what would be a better thread. So I have 3 doors at this new house and I want to put 3 smart locks, however do not have the money for it right now. So I plan on getting the Schlage FE599NX for the garage and the Schlage BE469ZP for the front door. I will also need to get a standard deadbolt for the back door due to the current one is faded. My question is, how can I make sure that all 3 locks use the same key? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 17 Jan 2020 06:26 AM PST I have WiFi throughout the house, using various access points. Is it better to have them all with the same SSID. So: MyHouseWIFI versus each AP having their own SSID like MyHouseWIFI-AP1 etc [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 17 Jan 2020 08:52 AM PST Hello folks. On a whim I bought a Phillips wiz controlled light at Home Depot. Light works fine, but I'm talking to my wife about wanting to use it for a sunrise alarm. It does support the feature, but she wants two lights (for symmetry in the bedroom) and we want a switch so we aren't yelling at Google to turn things on and off. I don't have a lot of home automation now, a nest thermostat and two Google home mini speakers. Any suggestions on the easiest way to implement this? I'm not opposed to a different light if needed.

| Posted: 17 Jan 2020 08:41 AM PST I need to put a camera outside and want to run power via POE (Power over Ethernet) and not an AC adapter. Does anyone know of any camera brands cameras that work with eWelink? I found Reolink cameras but they appear to use their on app and not sure they would work with eWelink. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 17 Jan 2020 02:12 AM PST Hello Guys, I am new to this sub, so sorry if this has been asked before. I want to be able to have my Amazon alexa turn on my Computer. This should be done via "button-push" (I know which pins to short to turn on the Computer), i just don't have any Idea, what to search/use that is able to do a button push via my smarthome control EDIT: I can't use Wake on Lan, bc my Motherboard doesn't really support it [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 17 Jan 2020 05:51 AM PST Have a WINK 2 hub. Just bought a smartthings multipurpose sensor. Alexa can't see it (run some things about setting up a "virtual thermostat" within Alexa but I don't see the options for that. Secondly, although I can see the sensor within WINK...I can see when the door open,/close in activity, the robot to turn on there lights isn't working nor is it showing me the does is actually opened. I thought I could use this without a smartthings hub? Also I have a Galaxy S10+, I can see or add it there either. Help please Thx [link] [comments] | ||
