| Affordable Australian z-wave/zigbee switch options? Posted: 23 Jan 2020 08:02 PM PST What are my affordable options for Z-Wave or Zigbee light switches in Australia? I'm pretty keen to avoid WiFi options due to lag, power requirements, and device number limitations.
I've bought a house and was all excited to get in to HomeAssistant automations and replace all the switches, until I realised all the great options I've been seeing don't work here either due to certification issues or Australia's different Z-Wave frequency. There are some good looking modules out there but they all cost $90-$100AUD plus the cost of a button to put in front of them. Any plans I do up end up being over two grand worth of gear, which is over double what I assumed I'd be spending. [link] [comments] | ||
| Smart-learning Thermostat Suggestions Posted: 23 Jan 2020 10:46 PM PST I've got this^ thermostat in my apartment, made by LG. Has heating, circulation, dehumidifying and cooling. Has 3 wires: Red (12V), Yellow (Signal) and Black (Ground). Works on 12V. From what I've checked Nest is not compatible... Are there any other smart-learning thermostats which will work for my situation and also are HomeKit compatible? [link] [comments] | ||
| Looking for nice case for Pi + Respeaker to compete with Alexa Posted: 23 Jan 2020 10:27 PM PST I just cannot find one, how can that be? I like the official ReSpeaker case by seeed, but it doesn't include space for a pi Given the big community for self-hosted home automation, there must be more people interested?!

| Posted: 23 Jan 2020 09:59 PM PST We're turning our home into a full time AirBNB and we won't be around much over the next few months. I'm looking for some comprehensive advice to solve a series of issues.
Couple relevant facts.
Y'all have any cool ideas to create a system from scratch here? [link] [comments] | ||
| WIFI Clogging with too many Home Automation devices Posted: 23 Jan 2020 08:38 AM PST I currently have around 45 devices connected to my Arris ATT router that has 300mbps connection. I have a single SSID that moves between 2.4 and 5 ghz. Is there a better way to do this to reduce the load? I face issues when I try to add a repeater, most of them support up to 30 devices connections. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 23 Jan 2020 03:22 PM PST I have some hue setup in my house, which I really like, but for some rooms it doesn't make sense to use hue. For example I have a light fixture in my dining room with 10 Edison bulbs. If I replace them with hue lights I'm looking at $350CAD just for one fixture, which is nuts. I'm eyeing the Brilliant system with their new dimmers, but that's not exactly cheap either and I don't see the point to any of the other automation that this system can control so I feel like I'd be paying for stuff I wouldn't use. Any other suggestions? Honestly if I could just get the lutron Caseta to power on to last used brightness I probably wouldn't even be looking at changing it. I don't get why lutron hasn't implemented this as an option. [link] [comments] | ||
| POE Splitter - Smallest one I can get! Posted: 23 Jan 2020 04:51 PM PST Hi All, Im working on hooking up a keypad over a single gang, standard electrical box. I have an ethernet line ran to this location supplying 48V over POE. I want to bring this down to 5V to power the keypad VIA USB. The problem in facing is that the dime-a-dozen splitters available on amazon are just slight too big to fit inside a single gang box. Does anyone know of one that is available online that would do the trick here? There will be some cables in the box with this thing. I just need some more wiggle room for the inputted ethernet connector essentially. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||

| Questions about cheap WiFi plugs from AliExpress Posted: 23 Jan 2020 03:11 PM PST I've been thinking about getting some WiFi plugs to use. My main question is are they safe to use use in terms of data security, they're not sending stuff back to China or anywhere else? Also are they safe to use with something like a tumble dryer?

| Posted: 23 Jan 2020 01:44 PM PST Hi, I have a Daikin FTXM95PVMA, it has wifi (BRP072A42 module) but on that model airspeed can't be controlled over wifi which makes it pretty useless. So I want to control the FTXM95PVMA with IR. Like many A/C systems it uses a 'smart' remote control which doesn't merely send out a code for the button you press. Instead, the remote itself keeps track of the desired temperature, etc., and instead each time *any* button is pressed on the remote the remote sends out *all* of the current settings to the A/C (i.e., fan settings, temp settings, etc...). Someone said these are "call mode" based remotes, so the IR bridge needs to support that. It should look neat, bare microcontrollers with dupont wires connecting receivers lying around will not have the requisite WAF. It probably needs to have a way to "sniff" and definitely needs a way to "set" the code. It should use (or be hackable to use) something like MQTT/ESPHome so it's easy to integrate. Anyone been in the same situation with similar requirements but done something about it, what did you go with and would you do it differently now? Thanks. Richard [link] [comments] | ||
| needing to remotely (as in, via internet with an app) activate 3 push buttons on an existing remote. Posted: 23 Jan 2020 01:27 PM PST good afternoon, really not a HA enthusiast, but an exigent need has arisen to be able to operate three buttons on an existing remote. over the internets, using an app of some flavor. difficulty - i'm not looking to become a professor of HA here. simple is the name of the game. would i be good getting this item : https://www.amazon.com/Sonoff-Interlock-Generator-Self-locking-Wireless/dp/B0793NYYPZ/ and, soldering some jumpers from the relays to the connections on the contact pads of the existing remote, be able to activate those buttons through the Sonoff app ? is Sonoff a good ecosystem for a one-off situation, or would you advise something else ? thanks.

| Better way to control Samsung NU8000 TVs? Posted: 23 Jan 2020 04:53 PM PST I thought I would check with this community regarding (possibly) better ways to control my two NU8000 TV's. They also have Samsung bluetooth sound bars. They are mounted side by side, as me and my wife use them for gaming, or watching Twitch while watching TV, things like that. We use the Smart Things app through an old IPAD to control the TVs. The remotes that came with them are Bluetooth, and thus whatever you do with one TV, happens to the other. The benefit of the remotes is the fact they are fast. Smart Things through the IPAD is just a terribly slow process. The app resets to the Smart Things home page, so anytime I need to change the volume, I have to wake up the IPAD, wait for the app to show the status of the TVs, select the TV, and adjust the volume. Then go back and wait again, select the second TV, and do the same. Everything goes through the internet as well, so the latency of commands is pretty painful, especially when you first start, and the few times the Smart Things cloud has been down has resulted in digging out a remote and unplugging one TV so we can use the TV. Preferably there would be an app or a physical remote we could use that didn't have giant Smart Things movie advertisements that I have to wait to load in the app, and that could very quickly switch and control the TVs as if they were local. It doesn't have to be free. I have home servers. I have RPi's. I love to DIY and tinker. But I'm also willing to buy an off the shelf solution if one exists. I know Harmony is tossed around, but I couldn't tell if it'd solve the problem with a bluetooth controlled TV. Would love some suggestions! [link] [comments] | ||
| Question about the ESP8266 and LED Strips Posted: 23 Jan 2020 10:03 AM PST I finally took the plunge and ordered part to try my first integration with Home Assistant. I watched too many videos but I think I finally figured out where to start. I'm doing a ESP8266 into a WS2812B LED strip. The problem is, I think I'm missing a part. Some of the tutorials I've read have a logic shifter, some dont. So, I'm a bit confused. Do I need a logic shifter to integrate it into Home Assistant? EDIT: I think I may have answered my own question. The logic shifter has nothing to do with integrating into HA. It has to do with making sure the 3v data signal out of the ESP8266 gets bumped to 5v so it can travel the entire length of the LED strip. Correct? [link] [comments] | ||
| Looking for a new universal remote app Posted: 23 Jan 2020 04:30 AM PST I am currently using Roomie Remote (Simple Control) and I am not the most happy with it. What I am looking to control - Apple TV (IP) Yamaha Receivers (IP) Amazon Fire Stick (IP) Various other TV's (IP to IR Boxes from Global Cache) I am looking for something with a Hub that will keep configurations and current status' up to date. I would like a better GUI editor than just on the phone app that is currently available. I would also like the ability to use android or other tablets as control surfaces. I have looked into a couple of apps, and i would really like something like crestron/control4/savant, but I would like to do all the programming myself. Are there any other alternatives out there that I am overlooking? Thanks [link] [comments] | ||
| Power strip with physical controls? Posted: 23 Jan 2020 10:33 AM PST I have had an internet outage for the last week and a half, which has rendered my smart life power strips unusable. I have no ability to turn on or off the individual plugs, and realized that I need to upgrade them. Does a smart power strip with individual physical controls exist? [link] [comments] | ||
| Control a SmartThings device with my Harmony Hub+Smart Remote? Posted: 23 Jan 2020 09:36 AM PST I've got a full ST setup as well as a Harmony Hub with smart controller. I added a few ST devices to Harmony through the app and can control them on my phone, but I'd like to assign buttons on the smart remote to the lights and fan in my room. Is that possible? Basically, I want to tap a button on my Harmony remote (not my phone) to turn a lamp on, etc. I see how to add ST devices into a Harmony activity startup/shutdown sequences, but I can't add ST functions to the remote. Help? [link] [comments] | ||

| Dry Contact Sensor with Multiple Inputs? Posted: 23 Jan 2020 08:46 AM PST I'm interested in a dry contact sensor with multiple inputs. Zwave is fine, basically anything that is compatible with HomeSeer. Having a little trouble locating one. [link] [comments] | ||
