Posted: 17 Feb 2020 03:26 PM PST I am working on putting 3 of these RGB light strips in my room with one controller and have 2 questions.
2.I am using this controller and cant figure out if the 3 rgbs will be using too much energy for it to handle. I have looked online and cant get an affirmative answer to this problem. Thanks. [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 17 Feb 2020 08:07 PM PST So, I just recently moved into a older house and not sure about the quality of workmanship. Being as such. I'm trying to get things up to snuff. In my downstairs washroom there are two switches on the wall. One operates the vanity lights, the other operates (what I believe to be the original) over head light which has been also used to turn on the washroom fan. There is a plug with a breaker by the vanity and if you trip that, the light/fan combo turns off. The switch on the wall that operates it only has two wires going to it. Black and white. Is there any way to have just the fan on running for x amount of time without the light coming on. Is there some sort of smart device I can install in the ceiling before the fan and light that can be controlled when the power is set to constantly be on at the switch. Thanks ahead of time [link] [comments] | ||
Go to bed functions in Google home? Posted: 17 Feb 2020 09:31 PM PST I have a Google home mini and use it to control my Ikea smart lights and it works very well. When I go to bed I want to be able to turn all lights off expect for one room, so I can't say "turn off all lights". Is it possible to make a custom command to turn off specific lights? And maybe to other stuff, life close the curtains (when I have smart curtains). [link] [comments] | ||

Can I control my bluetooth RGB lightbulbs with Alexa? Posted: 17 Feb 2020 04:56 PM PST I bought these RGB bluetooth lightbulbs from aliexpress about 4 years ago before the wifi Alexa controlled ones became cheap and popular. Is there anyway I can still connect these bluetooth ones to a hub or home assistant to control via voice? Or am I better off trying to sell/retire these and buy new ones that can be controlled via wifi/Alexa? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
Help with thermostat compatibility? Posted: 17 Feb 2020 11:48 AM PST This is the existing thermostat This is the wiring beneath the thermostat I rent a townhouse, and the complex management has given me the go-ahead to swap out the existing thermostat for a smart one (provided I don't damage any complex property, and replace it if/when I eventually move) -- but I don't know if the existing wiring is compatible with any of them. I did use the "compatibility checkers" of the ones I was interested in, and they yielded the following results:
Before I buy one, though (leaning toward the Emerson because it's compatible with Alexa/Echo, Google Home, and SmartThings, all of which I use extensively), I'd like to see if I'm missing anything that might prove a hindrance to installation (like what I believe is called a "jumper wire" between the RH and RC?). Admittedly, I know nothing about furnaces or AC units (and yes, I absolutely do intend to pay someone qualified to install it) so I'd greatly appreciate any help or input (including recommendations with regards to which thermostat to go with! Ideally compatible with Alexa and SmartThings, but one or the other would be fine) [link] [comments] | ||
Eufy Doorbell Automatic Streaming? Posted: 17 Feb 2020 06:58 PM PST I'm looking for a doorbell that can show the live feed as soon as it rings. It can be streamed to TV (I have chromecast) or separated device (A.Echo/G.Home). I wonder if Eufy doorbell can do that? Would be appreciated if you can include a video in action.

Pi not working right after using tuya-convert Posted: 17 Feb 2020 06:39 AM PST I recently set up tuya-convert on my raspberry pi (was using it for pi-hole) in order to flash some teckin sp10 smart plugs; the problem is after I was done I could not get wi-fi working on the pi again. When I loaded into the GUI for the pi and try to access the network panel it shows 'no network interfaces' and won't let me open it up. I tried adjusting the network preferences via CLI but no luck. Anyone else have experience with tuya-convert and can help me get my pi back to normal? Rebooting didn't help. [link] [comments] | ||
Siri to open Meross Garage Door IF.... Posted: 17 Feb 2020 07:39 AM PST So I have the meross garage door opener set up to open our sliding gate, works great. I also have the Yale Conexis L1 front door lock. I can open the gate by saying "hey siri, open gate" which triggers a shortcut to get contents of an IFTTT webhook to then trigger meross to open the gate. I can do the same with the door lock via Smartthings. But having kids and dogs mean what I need it to do is; I've tried door unlock/lock events to create an iOS reminder, iOS calendar event, Google Calendar event - Shortcut checks latest event/reminder title if it equals locked, gate opens, otherwise Siri will tell me it can't be done. While it works it's slow, 30 minutes if I leave my phone locked - calendar sync just isn't fast enough even with push - I can't manually update as I'm kinda busy on a motorbike. I feel like it'll be a simple solution but I just need one that updates within a few seconds. I have Home Assistant, Smartthings, iOS shortcuts, hive, and others An ideas? [link] [comments] | ||
Using automations to run Programs on a Desktop? Posted: 17 Feb 2020 03:53 AM PST Hi there, I've started getting into Home Automation with Home Assistant running in Docker and a Deconz stick controlling some Lamps. On the quest to automate most repetitive tasks (stating with fiddling around with an ESP32) I've been wondering how one could automate running Windows/Linux Programs. For Example I'd like to say "Alexa, guitar time" and have my Amp, Speakers, etc. automatically turn on and switch on my windows PC + run my DAW (Studio One) using my connected TV as a Screen. Or having "coding time" trigger my Linux PC to turn on + open WebStorm + speakers play "Sun Project - Luna" on full blast. I'm simply not sure if there is something like that out there. Turning the computer on/off is fine and dandy, I'm just not sure how to actually run programs. Has anyone attempted something like this before? Any help is appreciated. [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 17 Feb 2020 03:14 PM PST Anyone know if there is a key finder (like Tile) whose data can be exported from the phone to home assistant or similar? For Tile, it seems like it only communicates with the app via bluetooth, so I'm not certain if I can intercept the data at all or if this is just a deadend. [link] [comments] | ||

UK-specific smart lighting (looking for advice on switches when rewiring the house) Posted: 17 Feb 2020 04:25 AM PST In about a year I will be having my house fully rewired as a part of a larger renovation project and will soon need to specify how I want it done. I like smart lighting and already use quite a few Hue bulbs and dimmer switches. I'm considering swapping to smart switches, and would welcome some advice. One thing I will specifically request for neutral to be run to all the switches. Aside from then picking suitable switches, I assume that's all I need to do - but am I overlooking something? One thing that worries me is how smart switches will handle power or network outages. I don't want, for example, all my switches to become inoperable in the event of a network issue, or for the lights in my kids' bedrooms to default to on after I've reset a fuse in the middle of the night. Are these realistic expectations, and do I need to be selective in the switches I pick? Finally, does anyone have any recommendations as to switches? I have a preference for physical controls over touch switches. Also, since I'm looking at fitting quite a lot they'd need to be at the more affordable end of the spectrum. What I will likely do is have the house wired with basic switches and then swap them out a few at a time when I've recovered from the initial cost of the work. At least some of the switches (though perhaps not all) would need to be dimmable. I currently use SmartThings. However, fitting smart switches represents a significant investment and I would be willing to change ecosystems to support it. [link] [comments] | ||
Designing clear custom voice commands for Google home/Alexa that produce no errors? Posted: 17 Feb 2020 01:13 AM PST I have a few custom commands for Alexa and Google home - and a few where Alexa actually triggers the Google home (says "ok Google" waits 5 seconds, says command). The problem is that both devices consistently make mistakes and mishear what is being said. For example water-bath --> waterfall. jazzy --> gassy. extractor --> tractor. wax on, wax off --> playing michael jackson. Unfortunately, frequency of repeating/correcting such commands daily has no impact on recognition/contextual intelligence. What would be some very clear generic voice commands that the devices couldn't get wrong? e.g. would the phonetic alphabet work? or using names? numbers? I am British and have Alexa set to British English. [link] [comments] | ||
Posted: 17 Feb 2020 07:00 AM PST Hi, I just bought a house with Vivint installed. It has the sky control panel. There are also kwikset 910 smart code locks. I'm not paying for Vivint service but still want to use the locks with SmartThings. I've been reading that I need to unassociate the locks from the Vivint panel, but it seems that I need an installer code. I don't know the code and I've tried 2203 and 2508. Vivint is no help as they say I'm not a customer. So it seems I can't unassociate the locks. Is there anything that I can do? Would just factory resetting the locks work? I read that there's an anti theft feature on Vivint that won't allow the factory reset. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. [link] [comments] | ||
Hue Motion Sensor with Lutron Caseta dimmer Posted: 17 Feb 2020 06:57 AM PST Hi all, I've just got a Lutron Caseta dimmer installed and I'm trying to integrate a motion sensor to make this even better! How best should I set up an automation such that when motion is sensed, my Lutron dimmer would activate, turning on the lights and anything linked to it? I've seen suggestions to connect them through HomeKit but I don't have an apple tv unfortunately. I would be open to use HomeAssistant, SmartThings or simply get a cheaper zigbee motion sensor, though I would like to know your opinions on what's the best cost-effective and hopefully, not too complicated (im willing to learn if not) to set this up? What I already have so far: Hue motion sensors, Hue Hub + Caseta hub, Amazon Echo [link] [comments] | ||
What is a good RGBW A19 LED bulb that works with hubitat - zigbee preferred... Posted: 17 Feb 2020 12:28 PM PST Seems there are TONS of rgb a19 bulbs out there now, but most are app controlled and don't require a hub. I like to have all my stuff in one spot and use Hubitat. What's a reliable brightly colored bulb that works well? Anyone have experience? [link] [comments] | ||
[question] how can I make my passive speakers motion detected? Posted: 17 Feb 2020 01:42 AM PST I have passive speakers in my yard that are on a 2ch/4ch switch on my stereo system. They only come on when 4ch is selected on the system. The 2ch system is based in the living room which leads to and from the yard. Is it possible to make the outside passive speakers automated so they only engage when motion is detected outside? Willing to get a new stereo amp/system Thanks [link] [comments] |
