| Posted: 22 Mar 2020 04:58 AM PDT I've got Home Assistant with some Lutron Dimmers. Now I want to add some motion detectors. Do you guys have any favorites? It's for a small NYC apartment 2Bdr , ~ 850 sq/ft [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 22 Mar 2020 12:30 PM PDT Hi all, I've got a google home mini right now that I use for lights and outlets, hopefully for more automation in the future. I'm thinking about switching to amazon echo for (what seems to be) more functionality. Two things in particular I'd like to be able to do. 1. I'd like to be able to set a routine up at a specific time. For example I want to be able to say "wake me up at (time)" and have a series of alarms set, the lights turn on, the shades open, etc etc at that time and for about half an hour following it. 2. I want the ability to have the color of my lighting change at sunset every day. If the lights are already on, I want the color to change without turning them off, if they're off I'd want them to change color when they turn back on. Are both of these possible with alexa? Are they possible with Google and I'm just incompetent? General thoughts on the two of them? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] | ||
| Ok guys what is the best way to put rgb light strips along the interior of my 700 sqft apartment Posted: 22 Mar 2020 11:20 PM PDT Currently I have a govee smart 16.4 ft strip as latest to see if I like the idea of light strips around the edge but I was sad to see that it can only be 1 color at a time and that I cant connect multiple stips to a chain without a seperate power supply (or maybe I can but I have to get a higher ps but I'm getting mixed answers on whether it would work or not) but I have around 75 ish feet that I want to accent with addressable rgbw led strips. Since I'm in a apartment I can do anything to intrusive to the ceiling or walls but I am willing to put effort into it. I saw btf had a good some good options but there so many strips I'm not sure what to pick honestly I didn't know it would be this hard to set up some light strips Thanks in advance!

| Smart vital monitor recommendation Posted: 22 Mar 2020 08:38 PM PDT For my 80 year old fragile grandmother in a hospital bed. Would like to monitor vitals, at the very least bpm. I have them set up with mostly Google products and a Hubitat for all the lights etc. So ideally I'm looking for a product that could display the information via a node-red dashboard on a permanently mounted tablet. Or has a app on the play store etc. Or if anyone has another recommendation. That way I can set up a screen or two in their house that will display her vitals. As well as have remote access that me and my family can monitor her from. All recessed lighting is rgb, so in a perfect world I would like to have the lights change or blink a certain color based on certain parameters. I'm 95% expecting this to not be easily done. So if anyone has any recommendations on how I can do something as close to this id much appreciate it ☺️ Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wifi BLE, or anything else is welcome. [link] [comments] | ||
| 940nm IR smart camera/security system Posted: 22 Mar 2020 06:33 AM PDT Couple years back I pissed off a bear with my red LED glow camera and he ripped off the camera. The moose was quite a gentleman, turned around and walked back to the glowing camera and entertained a couple of close up nose shots before he lost interest and walked away. What I need is an invisible IR system. I am told a wavelength of 940nm should do it. This year I have spent a couple days on and off looking for a local disk based security system and have come up blank. Here are the requirements: Invisible IR Smart motion sensor so it does trigger with branches moving in the breeze Local storage WiFi access and decent app for remote connect Please let me know if such a thing actually exists and I don't want to spend over $500 🙂🙏 [link] [comments] | ||
| Inexpensive Baseboard Heat Control - Looking for advice Posted: 22 Mar 2020 05:25 AM PDT I'm looking for advice on an inexpensive, safe, and well-working solution to control the 9 individually controlled baseboard heaters in my house. Based on my understanding, I need a separate line-voltage thermostat for each, but that sounds like I would end up spending over $1,000 to accomplish this. Is there a good option out there for me, that won't cost quite that much? Perhaps using a Sonoff unit or something else? I would love to be able to create groups and manage multiple simultaneously via web-interface/app and also have some Alexa/Google Home support. I currently have an EcoBee3 for my AC, but don't have an excellent solution for heating. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Which retrofit smart looks will fit on my door? (pics included) Posted: 22 Mar 2020 06:24 PM PDT I'm renting so I can't do any real work on the door but anything that will not permanently alter the door itself is fine, even if I have to remove the current lock and replace it when I move out. Any ideas? +1000 points if HomeKit compatible. [link] [comments] | ||

| Can my ducted Mitsubishi aircon be controlled with a smart IR device? (pic included) Posted: 22 Mar 2020 06:22 PM PDT I can't find any details about what model of aircon/controller this is but it did not come with a remote. Does anyone know if this could be rigged to work with one of the smart IR devices that can control zircons, or at least turn them on and off? [link] [comments] | ||
| Are LED strip lights removable from the wall? Posted: 22 Mar 2020 03:31 PM PDT I'm in a door room and would like to buy the LED strip lights, would I be able to remove them after sticking them into the wall? [link] [comments] | ||

| Battery Powered Water Shut Off Valve Posted: 22 Mar 2020 01:32 PM PDT Unfortunately the valve is in the basement in one of the storage rooms that doesn't have a plug. Are there any battery powered shut off valves? There is a lightbulb, so maybe I could buy one of these and run an extension core? Not sure if that's up to code though. [link] [comments] | ||
| What would be better: Xiaomi Yeelight Smart Downlight Mesh or Xiaomi Philips Zhirui (3000-5700К) Posted: 22 Mar 2020 08:50 AM PDT Case in point: 36 devices in 5 clusters on 50m2 (500 ft2 ) area. Can't decide which to choose for my apartment. Would wi-fi or Bluetooth be better suited for my case? I've heard Yeelight mesh has connectivity problems, is this information true? Thanks in advance [link] [comments] | ||

I have some technical knowledge so I could build one and will jump through some hoops to get this. Any help will be appreciated! [link] [comments] | ||
| Preset/Home Position on Bali/Somfy Z-Wave Shaded *Without* Remote Posted: 22 Mar 2020 11:16 AM PDT I just installed a couple of Bali rollers and things are going pretty well. I really just have two things I'm struggling with (one more important than the other: 1) With the standard SWF DTH, you can call a preset position (or "home position"). Cool - but how do you set this? The only way I have found is by using a physical remote that has a preset position button - but I don't own one. Is there another way? 2) Less importantly, I created a simulated dimmer for each shade so I can call that simulated switch via Google Assistant, "turn on the living room window shade". It works for up/down (off/on), but I'd love to be able to pass the value of the simulated dimmer to the device. This way if I set the virtual dimmer to 43, the shade would go to 43%. SharpTools doesn't seem to have the construct of variables or markup. [link] [comments] | ||
| Disappointed with TPLink Tapo Smart Plug - No Third party? Posted: 22 Mar 2020 03:30 AM PDT hey guys. I recently sae a tp link smart plug P100 on sale and bought it to try it out. For my disappointment, the only ways to control is seem to be Google Assistant, Alexa and Tapo app. My main goal was to automate it with Tasker, or IFTTT, but apparently there is no API for this plug. Anyone knows of an alternate way to control this programatically? Other smart plugs seem to have an API for third party integrations. If not, this plus is pretty useless for me...

| Posted: 22 Mar 2020 07:09 AM PDT I have a Raspberry Pi + usb DAC running pimusicbox which is connected to an expensive speaker system. Right now, it mostly works fine but there are some software issues I've run into and the pimusicbox project is rather dead as open source projects go. I'm looking for an alternative that meets these criteria: Must:
It would be nice if it also could:
Does anyone have any suggestions? How do you do your home-audio? [link] [comments] | ||
