| Posted: 29 Jan 2020 11:03 PM PST Hey guys, I'm using Sonoff TH-16 AND Si7021 temp and humidity sensor. But the readings are not updating themselves unless I plug it off and on again which defeats the purpose of using this device. Sometimes, in a random moment it's updating. Is this a software issue? Talked with a customer rep in AliExpress, but that didn't really help. [link] [comments] | ||
| Google Home Mini and Philips Hue Bridge Posted: 30 Jan 2020 12:34 AM PST Is the Bridge required for lighting control, does it offer better control, or could I skip the bridge, and just go with some bulbs that offer full colour control and the Home Mini can control it on it's own, to the same degree?

| Possible to DIY a sensor to tell if lock is engaged? Posted: 29 Jan 2020 11:27 PM PST Hi all, I recently got a bluetooth smart lock so i can just enter a code on a keypad to enter my door instead of fumbling around for keys. Because of my door's locking mechanism (Mortisse lock) I got a Gimdow Smart Lock, that primarily uses Bluetooth as it's protocol. One drawback to that is that i can't get any notifications when the lock engages or is unlocked. I'm trying to DIY a solution and maybe you guys can chime in with suggestions. The idea i have currently is to hack a Wyze contact sensor to determine if the lock is engaged. The bolt would depress a switch on the box on the door frame.
Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||

| Is it possible to use home network to control an RF device? Posted: 29 Jan 2020 05:21 PM PST I have some device that uses RF. The remote emits RF. I want to be able to emit RF via some command I give via network rather than reaching for the remote. I already can do this with some IR devices. There's like a IP2IR box that's pretty convenient. I wonder if such thing exists for RF? [link] [comments] | ||
| Lutron Caseta switch with bath exhaust fan Posted: 29 Jan 2020 08:18 PM PST Has anyone had issues using a lutron caseta non-dimming switch (neutral required) with a bath exhaust fan? I wired it up and it won't turn the fan on. For test purpose only, I swapped in a caseta dimmer switch and it worked fine. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 29 Jan 2020 07:42 PM PST So I had some serious issues with some old GE Zwave switches. I lost 1 a year for the past three years due to power outages. I have since replaced them with Zwave Plus switches from Honeywell, I believe made by Jasco. 3 days ago I turned the power off at the breaker to install an outlet that has USB charge ports. When I turned the power back on, my Zwave 3 way switch no longer worked. I ordered a new Zwave Plus Honeywell switch and installed it and it worked. However, the 3way add on switch no longer worked. Figured it was either fried, or there was a compatibility issue with the GE add on and the new Honeywell Zwave Plus. I then ordered a new Honeywell 3 way add on switch and just installed it, but that does not work. I went 3 years with these working, so I am pretty sure the wiring is correct. Is there something else I am missing? At a total loss for why the 3way add on switch doesn't work anymore. [link] [comments] | ||
| Is there an easy way to sync two TVs in different rooms? Posted: 29 Jan 2020 08:20 AM PST A friend of mine asked if there is a way she could synchronize playback of content on two TVs in different rooms, be it Netflix or cable/STB/DVR. I think the idea is that if she and her partner are watching the same show in different rooms, but one of them needs to pause, this would avoid spoilers and also avoid the problem of one person needing to catch up to the other at the end of the show. My initial thought was to basically suggest an HDMI splitter and maybe some kind of Infrared Extender so that the person watching the "slave" TV could still use their remote (presumably this would not be needed for content that can be controlled via app, e.g., chromecasted content). But IIRC, HDMI can sometimes have DRM issues, right? Is there a better way to do this? [link] [comments] | ||
| Amazon echo show with amcrest cameras Posted: 29 Jan 2020 10:27 AM PST Is there a way to get the show to show the cameras without amcrests monthly cloud service. We use the camera as a baby monitor. Edit. I also have a habitat hub. Don't think that will help at all but just figured I should mention it. [link] [comments] | ||
| Does a zwave night light outlet cover exist? Posted: 29 Jan 2020 05:46 PM PST We all have probably seen those outlet covers that have little LEDs at the bottom (snappower). I was wondering if anyone has seen any smart, multi colored ones or anything similar. Seems like a easy thing to install and setup as a notification or status light with your smart home besides running and hiding led strips under cabinets or around the house. Maybe /u/inovelliUSA can just create it? [link] [comments] | ||
| Using Alexa to turn on Hue lights causes multiple lighting scenes to scroll. Anyone have this issue? Posted: 29 Jan 2020 05:45 PM PST When I use Alexa to turn on my lights (eg "turn on basement lights", my lights go to their last scene by default, and then rapidly change through a few of my programmed scenes, landing on one seemingly at random. This only happens with the echo in the basement, but not elsewhere in the house. It also doesn't happen with my google homes. Thoughts? [link] [comments] | ||
| Who is the leader in smart gate openers now? Posted: 29 Jan 2020 01:29 PM PST My friend needs a solution to this problem. 3 households on one large piece of land. One gate to access it all. They need each household to be able to open and close the gate from their phone. It needs to be solar-powered and include a camera. Will use Verizon and prefer to something that works with mobile vs using a hotspot. I figure this is all pretty standard at this point for a high-end device/solution. What is the leading brand out there right now? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 29 Jan 2020 05:09 PM PST I want to add several smart plugs to non-smart devices (Refrigerator etc) to monitor usage. Then I want to access that data and funnel the data to a website/app. What type of smart plug is best for this? How can I get the data? [link] [comments] | ||
| Thermostat with the best industrial design Posted: 29 Jan 2020 04:00 PM PST Hi all, Can anyone help me find/source thermostats with good industrial design? I do not have a requirement for all in automation, but I do like the overall look and feel of the Nest. However, my household is essentially opposed to installing a Google product, and anything that is effectively reliant on WiFi/Internet/Server connection. Any suggestions would be welcome, and if there is a better subreddit for this, I'll move this elsewhere. [link] [comments] | ||
| [QUESTION] Recommend me a smart garage door controller and smart locks? Posted: 29 Jan 2020 05:55 AM PST I'm looking for some hardware I can set up with google home so I can say "OK google lock up" and have it close the garage door, lock the front and back door, and turn off the lights. I've already got the lights covered with hue bulbs. I have a myq system, but the Google home integration appears to be nonexistent and I'm pretty sure I can't set myq close as part of a routine so I think I'll need to replace that system. Can you guys recommend a smart garage controller with better Google home integration (hopefully cheap), and smart locks to replace my deadbolts that will also work with google home routines?

| Is it possible to use an Android tablet as an info center? Posted: 29 Jan 2020 02:33 PM PST I currently have a couple of Google Nests/home controlling a few lights. It would be nice to have some kind of dashboard that gives me the weather, pictures, and maybe the ability to control lights. Is this possible? [link] [comments] | ||
| Outdoor battery wireless camera that does not require internet Posted: 29 Jan 2020 01:13 PM PST I have spent several hours fruitlessly looking, so to try and save myself any further wasted hours, is it true there is no such thing as a wireless, battery-powered, outdoor camera that will stream live (for however short a time the battery allows) over LAN (rtsp or similar) without needing to go via some cloud service? [link] [comments] | ||
| Temperature/Humidity logging over wifi? Posted: 29 Jan 2020 07:12 AM PST I'm looking for a way to log temperature and humidity readings over time. This is in an area with good wifi reception. I have several of the Xiaomi Temperature and Humidity (V2) sensors, and I was thinking I could use these. However, they are Bluetooth only. I did see that there's a Python library, mitemp, which supports them, and HomeAssistant has integration with those sensors, via that library. However, my main HomeAssistant VM does not have Bluetooth support, nor is it close to the actual sensors themselves (so might be out of Bluetooth range). So if I have a central Linux box on which HomeAssistant is installed, I'd need say, Raspberry Pis scattered throughout the house near to each sensor, to pickup the readings, and then forward them to the central HomeAssistant box. Is there some way to setup HomeAssistant in such a way, that remote Raspberry Pis can forward/relay/proxy sensor readings to a central box? Or maybe I'm missing an obvious solution here, and there's another way to tackle this problem? [link] [comments] | ||
| Which Wi-Fi mesh network should I get? Posted: 29 Jan 2020 12:54 PM PST Hey everyone, I've been following the sub and doing research on wifi networks but I'm getting confused with all the options and variations. We're getting a Fiber connection in our home with 22 devices using wifi, not counting smart switches. I want to put all the smart devices on their own network. We're using a mix of Google Home, z-wave, and Philips Hue. Our entire lot is 4400 square feet (detached garage is all the way in the back corner of the lot, annoyingly). I bought Google Nest Wifi but it seems it can't handle 2 networks? Which mesh network will do multiple networks, cover 4400 square feet (a bit less should be okay), and handle fiber speeds? Wifi 6 would be great too. Ideal price range is <$300. TIA! Edit: we're pretty new to this. The only smart thing we've been using is Philips Hue. [link] [comments] | ||
| Automating HVAC fan to balance out hot/cold spots in the home? Posted: 29 Jan 2020 12:36 PM PST In my home the south facing rooms warm up more during the day than the north facing, but when the weather is not hot or cold enough to turn in the HVAC, the air never circulates and some rooms are hot and others are cold. Has anyone set automations to run the HVAC fan (without heating or AC) to balance out temperatures to any success? I was thinking of trying it out, but was wondering if others have alread done so.

| Which hub is right for me? (Newbie) Posted: 29 Jan 2020 12:05 PM PST Hey guys. • Be able to use IKEA Trådfri bulbs and perhaps plugs/sensors (unless there is a cheaper alternative?). I looked into IKEAs gateway, however it seems like it is pretty bad? I hope you can help a new guy out :) [link] [comments] |
