| Major Outage For Smartthings Users In North America Posted: 05 Feb 2020 04:57 AM PST https://status.smartthings.com/incidents/hy20gg61w19f Smartthings hubs all over the country are apparently completely disabled, unable to even run local automations (at least mine is). The status site confirms the outage. I've been considering going with RPi and HASS, just for this very reason, but the Smartthings hub had never forced my hand. Having my entire home automation setup stop functioning due to a Samsung server issue is not a situation I want to have repeated. [link] [comments] | ||
| Techniques for making existing appliances smart Posted: 05 Feb 2020 12:22 PM PST Residential Tech Today just published the first in a three part series of articles I've written on ways to make existing appliances smart and integrating them into the smart home. The first article focuses on the laundry room. In the article there is a link to code I wrote for a Crestron automation processor that is free for anyone to use. The core of the code is written in C# so people should be able to port it to other platforms. Part two will talk more about kitchen appliances. I hope you find it useful. The article can be found here: https://restechtoday.com/smart-appliances/ [link] [comments] | ||

| Is there something that can be used to help align switches in a multi gang deployment? Posted: 05 Feb 2020 09:17 AM PST Is there something that can be used behind the wall plate to keep multi gang arrangements aligned, instead of my lutron switches being at off angles because the box in the wall isn't exactly deployed evenly [link] [comments] | ||
| Chamberlain MyQ notifications of triggering this week Posted: 05 Feb 2020 06:02 AM PST I have a schedule set up in the myQ Android app to close my garage door automatically at 11pm. I've been using this for over a year. Only if the garage door it in the open position at 11:00pm, will the door close and an alert shows on my phone. Yesterday, Feb 03, I started getting the alert on my phone at 11:00pm, even though the garage door is already closed. Anyone else notice myQ acting oddly lately? Edit: Response from Liftmaster Support

| Smart light “switch” that isn’t a switch? Posted: 05 Feb 2020 08:02 PM PST We replaced our dining room light with a smart bulb... but we may not have thought this they well enough since it's hard to get out of the habit of using the switch. I would love to replace the switch with an IFTTT switch that does not actually disconnect power when switched off. Does such a switch exist? Or is it possible to wire a typical smart switch so that it doesn't actually disconnect power? [link] [comments] | ||
| Curious to hear about your automations Posted: 05 Feb 2020 10:41 AM PST As time goes on I'm finding more and more little day to day things to automate and monitor. I've never seen a good compiled list so I'm curious what we would come up with? Might anyone share things that have been the most useful for your purposes? I'm most interested in unique solutions to every day problems like PLC integrations, multi-step processes, quality of life automations and other things one might not think of at face value.

| Posted: 05 Feb 2020 08:33 AM PST Has anyone used this security system? I am looking for which plan I should go for. I am torn between Ring and Kangaroo. Linking it up with Google Assistant seems to be easy enough and the prices of both are nice [link] [comments] | ||
| What automated window coverings do you have, and how insanely expensive were they? Posted: 05 Feb 2020 10:02 AM PST I'm still dying to automate my blinds / curtains, but I haven't seen any good options for really large windows. any good tips? [link] [comments] | ||
| Netamo Smart Indoor or Abode Iota in Hybrid Google+Apple Posted: 05 Feb 2020 11:22 AM PST I built a hybrid model at home. As I find in the world of personal assistants Google Assistant superior to Siri, I have at home Google Hubs for the sound and interaction part, Smartphones and Wearables from Apple. I plan to use an iPad as a centralizer, so following this hybrid model, I always need to pay attention to the solutions so that they serve both interfaces. On the outside I have Anker Eufy Cam 2 and on the main door I have an August Pro (Z-Wave). For the inside I have doubts about Abode Ioda (Zigbee and Z-Wave) and Netamo Welcome Camera ( no radio interface). I like the solidity that passes the Netamo brand and facial identification, but I found incredible the Abode Occupancy Sensor with the ability to sense motion, light, temperature, and humidity that I can add to the kit using Abode Ioda All-In-On Camera (Alarm+Hub+Camera).

| Did TRÅDFRI Outlet killed my lights? Posted: 05 Feb 2020 10:51 AM PST Hey, I set up my outdoor string lights that are on the balcony (https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B012S2LNLC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) - 2 pairs connected together. I connected them yesterday to Ikea tradfri smart plug and everything seemed to work fine. It's been about 24hrs since it's been plugged in. Today I tried to turn on the plug and there was a bright flash. Lights won't turn on. Brought in the plug - it works fine, tried the outlet on the balcony - also seems to work fine. The lights won't come on. Seems that they're dead. Wondering - why did this happen? Wouldnt have it killed also the plug? It is ~1°C temperature outside so perhaps it was the cold? Curious if anyone has any idea. Thanks for help! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 05 Feb 2020 09:43 AM PST Does anyone have any recommendations or experience with flood light bulb camera? I have 4 floodlights mounted at the corners of the third story and was hoping to leverage the in place power for cameras that would then trigger various alerts/actions in smartthings ecosystem.

| Vent between rooms w/o ducted hvac? Posted: 05 Feb 2020 08:03 AM PST My home has a lot of South facing windows and we have the benefit of letting warm air travel to most areas of our home via convection. By and large this works well. BUT! There are a two rooms in particular that don't tie into the natural convection currents and I would like to encourage that by installing a fan or vent to go from the hallway into the room through a typical 2x4 wall. Can any of the smart vents or similar be controlled by temperature sensors and not be tied to the heating/cooling system? I can't seem to find an answer to this... Or I am not searching for the right things... Outside of my HRV and associated supply and return registers I don't have any ductwork in my home. [link] [comments] | ||
| Help me make a decision: Command Center strategy Posted: 05 Feb 2020 07:14 AM PST I'm having a hard time making a call here guys....can you help me make a decision? My goal is effectively to create that single-pane-of-glass touchscreen control of everything in the home. This post was the inspiration. Here's my device list: Nest Thermostats, Nest Protects, Nest Hello, Nest Secure, Nest Yale Lock, Lutron, Sonos, MyQ Garage Door, (optional) LG webOS TV. It appears my options are: (A) Standardize on iPad/Homekit and Homebridge. Use Apple as the hub, and get Homebridge for all non-supported devices. Pros: split-screen dashboard. More robust option to control my Sonos zones via Homebridge. More flexibility to add new devices down the road. Cons: ongoing setup/management of Homebridge and plugins. Most of my devices are Nest. (B) Buy a Google Nest Hub or Max and call it a day. Pros: most of my devices are Nest. Seems like the easiest, least time consuming route. Clean interface with good integration. Cons: least flexible / extensible. Barebones Sonos/Spotify support. All of our phones run iOS. Can't really mount it to a wall, would sit on the counter. (C) another route I'm not considering? I'm beginning to question if I going heavy Nest wasn't the best choice. What would you guys do? [link] [comments] | ||
| I made a snack last night: Practical home automation? Posted: 05 Feb 2020 12:16 AM PST Last week I took my first steps into the world of modern home automation: Raspberry Pi/Hassio/Raspbee/5xTradfri bulbs. No actual automation yet, just a few light-scenes. One 'scene' is 'Night': A single bulb in the kitchen at minimum brightness, the rest turned off. Last night I made a snack and found that it's great to walk around with one bulb burning at low brightness, as opposed to the old situation where it was two bulbs blindingly full-on. Being pragmatic and fond of gadgets, I'm thinking of putting some sort of switch together: using a rotary encoder to crank the brightness, have it somehow transmit that info to the bulb (Encoder → Hassio → Bulb) and stick it on the wall in the kitchen. Anyways, I'm curious how others solve this kind of practical 'problems'. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 05 Feb 2020 03:44 AM PST I saw a post recently for recommendations on robot vacuums, here: https://www.reddit.com/r/homeautomation/comments/d6k493/robot_vacuum_reccomendations/ . However, all those suggested are way above my current budget. I'm really not looking to spend more than 200-250 which brings me into the budget bracket for these clever little robots. Really just looking for any input from anyone who spent a similar amount on a robot vacuum, and their review/experience with them. Key things for me are Alexa control, and in-app control, linking up to Hassio would be great too! (Oh, and return to dock). [link] [comments] |
