    When the wife kept asking, can I feed the pond fish yet? Added a temp sensor to the dashboard. Data is beautiful, P.S. No you can't!

    Just providing some info that might help others who wish to smarten up their B&D garage door - B&d sdo-2v2 adv motor.

    Posted: 07 Mar 2020 12:27 AM PST

    I found locating details on how to install the Meross MSG100 on my car port door quite difficult. Hope this info is useful to someone. Thanks very much to the home automation community for suggesting this product, it saved me about $250 on what the B&D smart garage door opener would have cost. The MSG100 was very simple and easy to install and setup once I figured how the wiring plugged in (see link). Hope I've posted this in the correct manner, if not let me know and I'll re-do.

    I'd like to have my bedroom window (horizontal slide, if that matters) close automatically at 5am. What would you recommend? It'd even be ok if I had to open it manually to reset it.

    LED WiFi set up

    Posted: 06 Mar 2020 10:34 PM PST

    So I recently got the AMBOTHER led light strips off Amazon but when I try to set them up through the app Smart Life that it says to use it can never find the lights. Can anyone help me find a way to get it set up so I can use it with Alexa?

    Sonos U-turn over 'bricking' its smart speakers - BBC News

    Posted: 06 Mar 2020 05:14 PM PST

    Hello, I live in a townhouse currently but am looking to install a smart lock. Unfortunately, I can’t swap out hardware as the key needs to remain the same and the deadbolt only locks/unlocks from the inside. Is there any smart locks I can use?

    Posted: 06 Mar 2020 07:50 PM PST

    How do I fix this... Jack and Jill bathroom works on 2 switches, I need the lights to turn off but leave the exhaust fan on for an hour or so.

    Posted: 06 Mar 2020 07:26 PM PST

    So I have a bathroom that has a door on both sides connecting a room on each side in both rooms there is a switch that controls both the light and exhaust fan.

    It gets super humid in there so I'm trying to find a way to make the lights shut off after 30 min or so but leave the fan on 2 or 3 hours.

    My only thought is get some sort of switch that runs on a time and then install light bulbs that have a timer

    Smart lock suggestions

    Posted: 06 Mar 2020 06:44 PM PST

    Hey guys. Just bought a house and want to make it secure and update shit to the current century

    I know next to nothing about smart locks or keypad locks. What ones are high quality? My primary concern is security. If I could afford it I'd buy a safe vault for a front door, so I could give less of a fuck about how it looks. Just function.

    What would you suggest

    Also want a doorbell cam. I hear ring sends my shit to China and I sure as hell don't want that.

    Buying ecobee 4 or nest with $100 (cad) discount

    Posted: 06 Mar 2020 10:05 AM PST

    Hey everyone, I just went to Costco and both the ecobee 4 and the nest with a room sensor are $100 off (169.99 and 239.99 respectively). I was thinking of getting myself a smart thermostat soon so this lines up perfectly. My question is at those prices, which one would be a better option. I live in a smallish house and I already have 2 google home minis. Thanks for any help or advice you might have.

    IP68 Outdoor Gate Lock

    Posted: 06 Mar 2020 08:12 AM PST

    Does anyone have any recommendations? I have 3 outdoor gates I would like to put smart deadbolts on but can't find anything that is waterproof or that can withstand the rain. Is my best bet to get something mechanical?

    So I have Tuya lights with a zigbee hub but I'd like to connect a remote like the ones Philips hue and Trust have but I'm not sure if it will work. Anyone using a setup like this?

    Suggestions on self watering Garden

    Posted: 06 Mar 2020 01:49 PM PST

    Hey /r/homeautomation!

    As a Home Assistant user, I am looking for a way to setup a self watering home automation system for my lone raised garden bed. My budget is on the low side, but my acceptance criteria is only the ability to read a water sensor and either water the garden or send my a push notification.

    What are my options and what are other ways you all have solved this problem?

    Are there any Wifi Sirens that can be triggered from a computer?

    Posted: 06 Mar 2020 10:48 AM PST

    Hey everyone.. I'm trying to find a Wifi Siren that can be triggered by a command from a Windows computer command prompt, or Windows program with command line parameters. I would like to use the Blue Iris camera software to set off a wifi alarm under certain circumstances. Blue Iris can run a command when needed, I just need to find a Wifi alarm that it can trigger. Everything I find so far seems to want to just work with apps on cell phones. Does one exist?

    Thanks.

    Looking to pickup the Aqara starter kit.

    Posted: 06 Mar 2020 06:49 AM PST

    Looking to buy the Aqara kit, but with me having the google wifi, I definitely do have a question. Is the Aqara hub compatible with the Google Wifi system/mesh setup?

    Last device I picked up, that wasn't ecobee/tplink/nest related, couldn't get it to sync/connect to wifi.

    What's the best, least obtrusive smart lock available?

    Posted: 06 Mar 2020 06:02 AM PST

    I need a new deadbolt and want a smart lock, but all of the ones I've seen stick out like a sore thumb. I saw the Level lock (https://level.co/) and put myself down on the list, but don't know when it's shipping or if it's any good.

    Anyone actually have a Level yet? What else should I consider?

    Can I voice control Google Home compatible devices without any Google hardware

    Posted: 06 Mar 2020 08:49 AM PST

    I'm getting some Fibaro dimmers, and a GH compatible TV. Will I be able to add them all to GH app without having any Google speakers (e.g. Google Nest Mini), and voice control them using my Android phone? I'm asking because a friend said that it's only possible with a Nest or something similar connected to the same network, i.e. that Google basically makes you buy one of the speakers to use the app fully.
