| Posted: 03 Jan 2020 09:40 PM PST I'm trying to have my smart light bulb named Table light from Smart Life to link to a smartthings virtual switch via IFTTT but everytime I try to create a IFTTT recipe I can't choose Table light as an option it doesn't show up. I unlinked and relinked from IFTTT multiple times and nothing helps. I have zero clue why it's not showing up as my other Smart Life devices show up just fine. Any input or advice is appreciated.

| Monitor Hot Tub Spa to see if it's drawing power. Posted: 03 Jan 2020 06:44 PM PST Hi I have an Intex Inflatable Spa that's great most of the time except sometimes it turns off without cause and I need to reset the plug. I'd love to get notified (Smart Things Hub) that it's not drawing power. Is there a plug / switch that I can monitor power usage or some other approach that might work for me? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 03 Jan 2020 09:17 PM PST I have a couple of Ambis around the house (Ambi Climate 2 AC controllers) controlling our mini split ACs. I want to automate some other items such as TVs and IR-controller LEDs. Instead of purchasing a new IR blaster for this purpose, I would love to trick Ambi to send these IR signals instead. Anyone ever done this? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 03 Jan 2020 03:45 PM PST I'm trying to add SmartThings to Hassio (using the most recent disk image downloaded from the main site). Every time I enter the personal token, I get and "Unknown error occurred" message. I checked the logs, looking specifically for any mention of SmartThings, and this is what I found: File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/smartthings/configflow.py", line 90, in async_step_user await setup_smartapp_endpoint(self.hass) File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/smartthings/smartapp.py", line 218, in setup_smartapp_endpoint hass, DOMAIN, "SmartApp", config[CONF_WEBHOOK_ID], smartapp_webhook File "/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/webhook/init_.py", line 33, in async_register raise ValueError("Handler is already defined!") ValueError: Handler is already defined! Can someone please explain this (and how to fix it) to me as you would a small child? I'm fairly new at coding, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] | ||

| LED Strip Lighting Request/Support Posted: 03 Jan 2020 05:47 PM PST Hi all Just fitted some new LED light strips to my kitche under the counter and looking to connect these up to my GoogleHome. I have a few devices around the house already to make these LED lights controllable by voice but want someone's opinion on the best/easiest method. My current idea is this: 240V switch to 12V LED driver (STEP DOWN) to Sonoff Basic. However, I'm not sure if the Sonoff Basic works on 12V... I suppose i could always do: 240V switch to Sonoff Basic to 12V LED driver (STEP DOWN)?? Am I missing something or is there and easier method? :) Thanks [link] [comments] | ||
| Shades / Blinds recommendation for sliding doors? Posted: 03 Jan 2020 08:25 AM PST Looking for recommendations for smart shades or maybe vertical blinds to cover sliding glass doors that are fairly large. Has anyone done/had an install and could recommend? Two sets of 10' tall sliders in the living room. About 135" wide each and they meet at a 90 degree angle, meaning there is no vertical post/wall on one side. My first preference would be for something that has a physical remote and integrates with HomeKit. [link] [comments] | ||
| Need some advice on how to proceed, i.e. with bridges/hubs probably Posted: 03 Jan 2020 05:05 PM PST Ok. I need someone to school me on smart stuff, because I think I've been fucking up. Mainly on hubs and stuff. I currently have 2 TP-Link Kasa switches, an August smart lock, a Wyze smart plug, and a Nest thermostat. I recently bought a Lutron Caseta switch because my basement lights don't have a neutral wire. After installing it, I realize I cannot connect it to my Google Home because I don't have a Lutron bridge. I don't have any hubs. All of my stuff is just connected to my network and added to Google Home. What is the easiest way to unfuck my situation? [link] [comments] | ||
| Smart speaker for disabled elderly Posted: 03 Jan 2020 04:12 AM PST Hi all. Can I use a smart speaker to talk to my old parent who lives far and is unable to use hands or voice. I'd just want him to listen to my voice or some music when someone is around him. I have a camera already but the built-in speaker is really bad. Thanks for any help. [link] [comments] | ||
| Do they make a smart manifold for pex systems? Posted: 03 Jan 2020 12:35 PM PST I have a pex system and thought it would be a good idea to be able to monitor and control each of my manifold connections remotely. Problem is, a quick search turned up no smart manifolds for this purpose. I know there are other water control systems but those go on the main, and that won't allow me to shut off a specific line if a leak is detected. Having control of this at the manifold would be a good idea. Am I missing something? Or is there just no consumer solutions available? [link] [comments] | ||
| Can the old Tellstick Net Recieve over 433mhz? Posted: 03 Jan 2020 04:04 PM PST I found a guy selling a package consisting of multiple Telldus temperature sensors and a Tellstick Net (v1 i think, the blue and white one) This would be perfect for me combining it with HA to report temperatures from around the house, but Being new to Tellstick i tought that the old Tellstick Net could only send over 433 mhz and not recieve? I would highly appreciate some input on the matter :) [link] [comments] | ||
| Automating overhead fluorescent lights in the kitchen -- and without a neutral wire Posted: 03 Jan 2020 11:58 AM PST Bit of a challenge in fully automating the last bit of my apartment (everything is Alexa controlled right now, and I don't really care what brand the solution is). So, it's overhead fluorescent tubes. Controlled by a single on/off switch on the wall. There's no neutral wire. What would work in this situation? With thanks to /u/ebikr for spotting my Freudian slip. [link] [comments] | ||
| Smart bulbs with a smart switch? Posted: 03 Jan 2020 03:39 PM PST So I think I already know the answer to my question, but figured I would consult the experts. Although myself and my fiance are comfortable with autonomous houses and smart devices, our families and friends aren't as comfortable. We currently have smart bulbs peppered throughout our house, and love them. The problem is, whenever parents come to stay or friends hangout, they instantly want to flip switches. Rather than have to constantly tell them how to use their voices, is there anyway to incorporate a light switch that can still be used to turn on or off the lights, but without losing the smart functionality of them? We currently use Sengled bulbs and the hub, due to the color options, and I was looking into pairing a smart switch from Kasa with it, but this won't work will it? I don't believe it's possible to have a smart bulb for the color and dimming options, but still have somewhat of a traditional switch without resetting the bulb every time it is turned off and on.

| Would a Lutron PD-6WCL work _without_ Neutral driving screw-on LED bulbs? Posted: 03 Jan 2020 03:33 PM PST Reading Lutron's advanced installation guide on page-3, it states that a neutral wire is required for LED drivers. What is not clear is whether a regular screw-on style LED light bulb is considered an LED driver that _requires_ the neutral wire. [link] [comments] | ||
| Does anyone here use a keyboard with their Logitech Harmony Hub, if so, which one? Posted: 03 Jan 2020 05:49 AM PST I am looking for a keyboard to use with my harmony hub since I am getting tired of using the onscreen keyboard for my media centre. [link] [comments] | ||

| Question About Removing X10 Light Posted: 03 Jan 2020 02:43 PM PST Hopefully someone can help me out. I bought a house and there is a light that is about 20 feet up on the ceiling. This light has no wall switch but there is an X10 panel that plugs into an outlet that controls it. The problem is that this light keeps turning on or off when ever it feels like it. I'm trying to figure out the easiest strategy for removing this setup, and I'm hoping someone can advise on which setup is most likely. There is obviously some controller in the light. I'm just not sure if that controller would be in the box in the ceiling where the light connects, or if it would be outside of that box in the attic above it. If it's in the box, then I am going to have to get some kind of scaffolding to get up to the darn thing. And if it is in the attic then I have to crawl around in some deep insulation. I have to do one or the other, but I'm hoping to just do one. I don't want to rent a bunch of scaffolding and set it up only to find out the controller is in the attic or something. Can anyone with X10 experience advise on where the controller is likely to be for this light? Maybe an alternative way of dealing with it? Any advice would be appreciated. [link] [comments] | ||
| Recommendations for a robot vacuum Posted: 03 Jan 2020 02:38 PM PST Hi r/ha, I own the Xiaomi Robot Vacuum. I really like it, it does a good job at vacuuming, the path finding is very good, overall I'm pretty satisfied except for one thing - I can't set no-go zones. I live in a shared house, so I do not want the vacuum to go into other people's private spaces, or into the cable nest in the lounge. But my vacuum has no ability for no-go zones, so every time I want to run the vacuum I have to manually draw zones for a zoned cleanup. That also means that I can't schedule cleanups, because by default the vacuum will clean the entire house (side note: if anyone has a workaround or a fix for this, I'd be very grateful). Main question: my partner's mother found out I have a robot vacuum and now she really wants one. I'm trying to find one that has the no-go feature that mine sorely lacks. The Roborock S4 looks promising however I can't find it for sale in my country (New Zealand). The S5 and the S6, I don't need the mopping feature and they are a bit too expensive ($800 and $1000 ea in my country) though I could probably stretch to that if needed. Just hoping to get some real world experience and advice about what is the best vacuum to buy. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] |
