| Posted: 13 Mar 2020 08:36 PM PDT Years ago I bought several wireless LED bulbs from this company. They suck for integration with a home automation system, but they were perfect for me since I just wanted to use them with standalone RF remotes. They are totally reliable (after 7 years!) and they have much warmer whites than many of the ones sold by more popular brands. The problem is that apparently this company went out of business and I don't remember how to pair the bulbs to the remote. Can anyone provide a copy of the original instructions?

| Suggestions for new home: mix of aqara, yeelight, Alexa(sonos one), ring Posted: 13 Mar 2020 11:58 PM PDT I am moving to a new home and we installed aqara switches throughout, aqara motion detector, aqara hub, yeelight, ring doorbell, nest smoke detector, and some WI-FI cameras running on blue iris. We utilize all iPhones/appletvs at home. I've used homebridge for exposing things to homekit before but now I want more sophisticated automations. Should I go with homeassistant or node-red? I'm leaning towards nodered from what I've read so far. Do I still need homebridge running if I go that route? [link] [comments] | ||
| Looking for a way to upgrade this Lee Dan intercom station to a smart panel. Suggestions? Posted: 13 Mar 2020 05:39 PM PDT I've automated nearly everything in my nyc co-op except our hidious intercom wall unit similar to the unit I've linked below, which allows entry into the building. It's a 3 button (listen, talk, door) device but i have not pulled it yet to verify how many wires are running to it. Any ideas if it's possible to replace it with some sort of smart or at least digital wall panel without replacing the main lobby panel? This thing is such an eye sore. [link] [comments] | ||
| Home assistant cheap and easy sensors and smart plug recommendations? Posted: 13 Mar 2020 05:04 PM PDT Simple stuff like when the front door opens turn on the lamp outlet. Record the temperature/humidity of a room. Etc. I'll be running everything on a raspberry pi 4 Hassio and tablet display. I've heard local push is the best but I'm not opposed to other options.

| SmartThing Home Monitor - Recommended siren? Posted: 13 Mar 2020 02:39 PM PDT I've been researching different ways to utilize contact sensors for a home security system. I thought I would just be able to use my Alexa's (which are connected to big speakers), but I haven't found any good way to do that yet. So, looking at the built-in options for the SmartThing Home Monitoring, I see the option for 'sound siren'. Does the community here have any recommendations for sirens that will do a decent job?

| Setting up port forwarding with ATT router & Omni Pro IIe/HiFi2 (by Leviton formerly HAI) Posted: 13 Mar 2020 12:26 PM PDT I'm somewhat new to home automation and some of the back-end setup like port forwarding. Current setup is HAI/Leviton Omni pro IIe and HiFi2 sound, and the router is ATT's BGW210 wireless router. First part: for those that use a windows emulator (I only have mac's and my home automation setup software is only in .exe format), did you use anything other than the Wine Program? Second part: I'm running into a wall setting up port forwarding on my router. I have the correct IP address set on my alarm keypad, and copied down the port number (4369) but all the tutorials haven't helped me figure out what I'm doing wrong. Last part: for those that have used iPhone/iPad apps to access a Leviton home automation system, which did you like most/least? Currently trying out "Myro: home" since it's free. Any advice is much appreciated! [link] [comments] | ||

| Hue sync alternative with bulbs not Led strips Posted: 13 Mar 2020 05:56 PM PDT I'm looking to upgrade my home cinema with some coloured bulbs however my projector is projecting onto a plain white wall with the screen size almost floor to ceiling. Currently around 160 inches which doesn't allow me to use strips around the screen. I have been toying with the idea of hue sync to make the whole room explode with the colours on screen however I've only seen this done with Led strips placed around the TV. What I'd like is to use a cheaper alternative and use it with 6 gu10 ceiling lights that are placed along the sides of my room 3 on each side. It would also be beneficial if these lights worked with Google home Can anyone shed some light on this? I will add pictures of the set up tomorrow to give you an idea of what I'm working with.

| Has anyone here had an issue integrating Lutron Caseta to their Alexa system? Posted: 13 Mar 2020 04:38 PM PDT Has anyone had an issue integrating Lutron Caseta? I have had my 13 Lutron Caseta light switches working fine with my Alexa, 2 night ago my wifi died and ever since I cannot connect my Alexa to the Lutron system. I have tried deleting and re-enabling the skill, powered off my Alexa speakers and tried again, reset the Lutron bridge. The weird thing is the Lutron app seems to work fine as well as the HomeKit app. Any suggestions? [link] [comments] | ||
| Paddle Switch replacement/accessory Posted: 13 Mar 2020 04:30 PM PDT I purchased some Legrand paddle switches, and have wifi bulbs, except for a pair of pendants which are built in LED. Is there a way that I can attach something to the paddle switch to allow it to connect to my google home? Legrand has a smart switch that would match, but it's about $70. A smart switch that is visually similar would work as well. They are paddles are nickel colored. Would love to be able to dim the lights. I do have a zigbee/zwave hub that I can use (nvidia Shield/samsung smarthings), and am considering moving over that direction anyway. I tried connecting to discord, but it did not seem like there was much activity. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 13 Mar 2020 09:37 AM PDT I am using Nest Thermostats and Google Home devices. I'm trying to change how many degrees the thermostat changes when giving a generic command like "hey goog, turn down the temperature." I want it to change only 2 degrees instead of 5. I know I have seen and modified this setting somewhere before but it was a while ago and I can't for the life of me find it again, and the settings menus between the google home and google assistant apps are so convoluted. Can anyone tell me where this setting is located / how to modify? [link] [comments] | ||
| Bosch Smart Home Historic Data Posted: 13 Mar 2020 11:32 AM PDT Hi HomeAutomationExperts :) I need some help, I've just invested some money into a Bosch smart home system to try it. I've got a couple smart thermostats and a smart plug. I really like these devices but one feature I really miss is any historical data. For example I would love to be able to see the usage of power over a day, but I haven't been able to find a way to do this it seems to only show the current usage. Can anyone suggest either how I would be able to do this with the current setup or with any additional software? [link] [comments] | ||
| Sell/buy area for homeautomation stuff. Posted: 13 Mar 2020 06:44 AM PDT I do see the separate subreddit for r/homeautomationsales, but looks like it's quite dead. Is there another spot to use if I wanted to sell something? [link] [comments] | ||
| Sengled Hub and TMobile Cellspot Question Posted: 13 Mar 2020 12:15 PM PDT I need some advice/help. I have had two Sengled Smart Lights connected to my Sengled Hub for almost two years with absolutely no problem. I use to just tell Alexa to turn on/off the bathroom lights with no problem. Recently, I got an Echo Flex with motion sensor in my bathroom. So when there is or is not motion, Alexa turns on/off my bathroom lights with no problem. About three weeks ago, I got a TMobile Cellspot and it's connected to my gateway (Arris TG1682G by Comcast). Ever since, only one bathroom light will turn on or both will turn on but only one turns off. Does anyone else have this problem, heard of this problem or know what I could do to correct this problem (without having to do away with the Cellspot)? I have disconnected the cellspot and my bathroom lights will work perfectly whether by the sensor or by voice. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 13 Mar 2020 05:58 AM PDT So we finally closed on our house and moved in and one of the very first things I've done is install MSB blinds in all the bedrooms. I went ahead and purchased the bridge so that we can control the blinds with voice commands instead of imply being at the mercy of the scheduling but even though I've enabled the skill and linked it to my MSB account when attempting to open/close all SheWhoShouldNotBeNamed says is "Ok here is MySmartBlinds. To start using this skill please use the Alexa app to authenticate with your MySmartBlinds account." I've got an email in to the manufacturer for help but I was wondering if anyone here had seen/had this issue and/or a solution? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 13 Mar 2020 02:34 AM PDT Has anyone in the UK got experience to share with Heiman ZigBee Smoke Alarms? I'm considering buying three for installation at home, and interested if they are reliable, and whether they could be linked so smoke detected by one sets them all off. I'd be interested in alternatives too, but only ones available in the UK and battery operated. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 13 Mar 2020 05:16 AM PDT So after months of being disappointed in my landscape timer/controller i'm giving in and converting to the ring system. I know there was a data breach, cameras accessed etc but i've got no interest in introducing a ring camera into my ecosystem anywhere. My questions are, are there any best practices to keep the ring system secure? i'm already planning on it being isolated to my IOT network, and at the end of the day, i don't really know if i care that someone can gain access to my landscape light controller. It's more principal, practice and trying to avoid them from getting to other things on the IOT network if they got in. [link] [comments] |
