| I lead a team building the connected smart home appliances of the future, AMA. Posted: 12 Feb 2020 07:31 AM PST I have spent the last 3 years running WLABS, the in-house innovation arm of Whirlpool Corp. I've spent my career finding solutions that make people's lives easier, better, and more fulfilled. In my time at WLabs, we've developed and brought to market several products:

| Posted: 12 Feb 2020 10:20 PM PST I ordered one of these remotes off ali-express a while back - for $13 AUD, it looked like it could be useful or at least fun to tinker with. https://imgur.com/a/BWcjH9s Now that I've had a look through the user guide, I think it may be ZigBee based. Anyone have any experience with these? They are marketed as R13 1 Zone RGB Ultrathin Touch Slide remotes. [link] [comments] | ||
| Suggestions: Press wall button and 6 TVs in the room all turn on. Posted: 12 Feb 2020 09:31 PM PST I am looking for some idea to accomplish a particular goal. I want to have a small button, or even a 1gang faceplate button that, when pushed, will send IR signals some other communication to the TVs to turn them on. The TVs will be Samsung, The Frame TVs. Any ideas of how to accomplish this, I'd like the solution to be super stable/reliable, fast thank you in advance? [link] [comments] | ||
| Using Hue Smart Button as a trigger? Posted: 12 Feb 2020 09:04 PM PST The recent release of the new Hue button got me thinking it might solve a dumb problem I have, which is not having any physical button in my home to open our detached garage door. Can anyone suggest a way I might use the press of the hue button (or the status change of a hue bulb) as an IFTTT trigger for the Meross garage door opener? Would be pretty slick to not have to introduce a new hub to do it. [link] [comments] | ||
| Notification on lack of motion Posted: 12 Feb 2020 08:39 PM PST Looking for the following solution; Elderly parent lives alone. Leaves her bedroom between 7am-9am. Send me a notification if she has not left the bedroom by 9am. Currently has a Google nest home device. Thoughts? Best ecosystem to handle this? [link] [comments] | ||

| Creative uses for vibration sensors besides telling you when your clothes are dry? Posted: 12 Feb 2020 01:04 PM PST I bought an Aqara one thinking I would need it for my dryer but I don't. Now I need to find a problem I didn't know I had and fix it with this sensor. It detects tilt,vibration, drop. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 12 Feb 2020 02:57 PM PST Maybe I'm phrasing it wrong or not using the search times in google and on here correctly, but let me open with my situation, but I haven't been able to find anyone else trying to do this, or how well it could even work. I live with three roommates in a house. I want control over smart plugs and smart lights only in my room. I don't really utilize the communal areas, so I have zero incentive to link my room's automation to their automation. But I also don't want them messing with my system. Be it by accident, or as a practical joke of some kind. So is there any way I can use my own hub, my own "separate smart home" that maybe needs a password to even join? (The other perk being, should I ever move, I get to take that with me.) That way I can fine tone my lighting controls from one hub (probably my phone). I've been using those TP link switches with ok results, but it's really just a simple on/off situation. I want more control that that offers me. If relevant, they've gone with the Phillips home automation ecosystem. I've considered using the same, but wouldn't be opposed to using a different one, especially if it made my goal easier to achieve. The closest thing I've found to a solution for this was someone who used bluetooth based only smart-plugs, but that seemed to be a very limiting ecosystem he was in, lacked the robustness of others on the market.

| Posted: 12 Feb 2020 04:18 PM PST I've bought these touch switches in Poland https://allegro.pl/oferta/wlacznik-dotykowy-szklany-2g-wifi-bez-neutralnego-8499635186 These work we eWeLink app and I'd like to try to flash them to use Tasmota. I've tried using https://github.com/saryn/node-red-contrib-sonoff-server in Node-red but it doesn't seem to connect, so the next natural step seem to try and use Tasmota. I need to try and identify board layout to use as Tasmota template, but I'm not able to find any similar switch in Tasmota database. Have you ever seen anything similar? It's probably something generic from China sold under Polish brand. I think I've managed to identify solder pads I'll use for flashing https://www.reddit.com/r/esp8266/comments/f30s4l/esp8285_board_layout_identification/. [link] [comments] | ||
| Home renovation: Which wall dimmers to get? Posted: 12 Feb 2020 02:06 PM PST Hi there, I've been experimenting with home automation using Home Assistant for a while now. For lighting I have quite a few Hue bulbs in my appartment. Soon, we'll be moving to a 7 bedroom home. The house will need a lot of remodelling. Since all wall switches need to be replaced, I figured I should replace them with smart dimmers. That way I won't need to equip my entire new house with Hue bulbs (which would be quite a bit beyond budget). Unfortunately all the options are quite confusing, which is why I'm asking for help: Which built-in dimmer switches would you recommend to install in my new home? I don't have a preference for Zigbee or Z-Wave, I just want to make the best choice going forward. Your advice is greatly appreicated! Edit: I should've mentioned I'm located in the Netherlands!

| Posted: 12 Feb 2020 01:00 PM PST I only got sonoff basic and T1 so i can only say it happens with these but i guess it's not limited to them So, sometimes when i give Alexa a command to open a light i get that error message. If i repeat the command it works fine. Do sonoff devices go to sleep after some time of inactivity? Any ideas how i could fix this? [link] [comments] | ||
| Looking for advise on how to remotely change the set point of a "dumb" dehumidifier. Posted: 12 Feb 2020 11:38 AM PST I'm using a dehumidifier in a homemade wood drying kiln I have made. I have a heater and a fan inside the kiln chamber. I have them plugged in to wifi plugs so that I can control them remotely. I also have a 360 degree wifi camera set up to be able to visually inspect the wood, as well as view a thermometer/hygrometer I have in the kiln chamber. The final part of the kiln is the dehumidifier. In order to dry the wood properly I need to make changes to the dehumidifier set point every 1-4 days- based on the hygrometer readings. My goal is to be able to operate this kiln fully remotely. I am currently able to do everything except for change the set point of the dehumidifier. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Here is the dehumidifier I am using: https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/insignia-dehumidifier-30-pint-white/13458200 [link] [comments] | ||
| Does Xiaomi Getaway V3 support Aqara Bulbs? Posted: 12 Feb 2020 11:21 AM PST My Aqara Hub just died after reset. Now I'm looking for a replacement and Xiaomi Getaway V3 seems to be a good one. I can't find any information about compatibility with Aqara Bulbs (and other Aqara devices). Are they supported? [link] [comments] | ||

| Flashing countdown timer and WLED? Posted: 12 Feb 2020 09:12 AM PST I'm trying to get a countdown timer on Alexa to flash some LED's when the timer goes off. I was expecting this to be fairly easy using a preset routine within the Alexa app but there isn't one for the timer. I've had a look on IFTTT and have found lots that have been created for Philips HUE but not my LED strip that I am controlling via WLED and/or Alexa. Anyone managed to set this up?

| Building a new home... Anything custom to do for smart blinds? Posted: 12 Feb 2020 08:11 AM PST Hi, I have purchased a new home and it will be built over the next several months. The builder is open to customizations and one thing I am trying to think about is if I should ask for any kind of low voltage (~12V DC) wiring into the window sill for smart blinds so that I can install my own down the road. The smart blinds are something I would rather DIY for the most part, and I'm not sure if getting power routed is worth it with the new Ikea smart blinds that are battery operated. It's hard to find out more about other vendors as they usually provide a complete service. Maybe I won't end up putting in any smart blinds right now (I like Ikea's blinds but I don't want their blackout curtains, want to allow some light through) but do you thinking routing power wires in is worth it or should I expect future products to just use battery power? If you have any other suggestions also please let me know! I am routing cat 6 ethernets to certain exterior locations for a DVR camera system also. [link] [comments] |
