| How to achieve this : make sure the device is never off for more than 3 hours. Posted: 02 Mar 2020 05:47 PM PST My living room is my home theater and it unfortunately has a fridge too. While watching a serious movie, I hate the noise fridge makes. So I have it hooked to a smart plug. Before watching a movie, I simple tell Alexa to turn it off. And once done, I tell it to turn it on. However on some occasions I forget to turn it on. And I find out about it the next day. How can I make sure that if fridge is turned off, it's automatically turned on after 150 minutes. Smart plug : Kasa Smart device : Alexa [link] [comments] | ||
| Anyway to make GA talk with IFTTT? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 06:02 PM PST I have a meross garage door opener. I was hoping to find a way to get my google home to announce when the door is open or closed. Im not sure its possible though. Looked around but haven't found much. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 02 Mar 2020 04:20 PM PST Has anyone found a Wi-Fi enabled fan controller that works with Alexa and has the ability to dim the lights that they like? Most work but only turn the light on and off. Also no hub required. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 02 Mar 2020 09:44 PM PST I've been thinking of starting an automation business with a buddy of mine mostly residential to start but eventually go on to do big commercial projects. Anyone have an insight on what the average profit margins are for installing and servicing Savant and Control4 systems? Cant seem to find any business insight on automation companies. Any information would help. [link] [comments] | ||

| zooz ZEN25 S2 Double Plug - Z-wave plug Posted: 02 Mar 2020 01:47 PM PST Few months ago I gave my buddy wifi access ( before i split my network ) he opened his wemo app. When he went home, he still had access to all my devices. So at that point I started looking to get rid of my wifi plugs . So I got my first zwave outlet. I made a vid on the Zen25 if anyone is interested. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 02 Mar 2020 01:19 PM PST Are there any good solutions yet to automate existing cordless blinds? Looking for Alexa integration and solar battery options. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Has anyone tried the Lifx light switch? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 06:57 PM PST Lifx light switch This looks like a great option. Each of it's four buttons can either turn the switch on or off (for dumb bulbs) or it can launch a Lifx scene. It can't dim bulbs, just turn them on or off. But you could easily make scenes that set bulbs at 100, 60, 30, and 0. I'd like to get the Brilliant home controllers, but they're too expensive to replace every light switch (especially after I get 30 Lifx bulbs. These $100 switches might be just what I need. They're very new and I can't find reviews on them. Has anyone here gotten one? [link] [comments] | ||
| TP link dimmer switches with dumb switches Posted: 02 Mar 2020 06:25 PM PST Hello, I am in the process of installing dimmers and regular smart switches in my home, TP link brand. I bought one to test if they would work. I successfully installed one in my hall and it worked, however on the other end of the hall is a dumb switch. If I do not have the dimmer on, I cannot use the dumb switch at the other end. Basically if I have the dimmer on, then walk down the hall and turn the dumb switch off, the dimmer won't work. If I get a regular non dimmer smart switch, will I be able to control both ends without one being on? If anyone has had something like this happen before let me know. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Any portable locks that can attach to outward opening doors? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 09:59 AM PST I know this post wasmade before, but nobody gave a clear answer on that, so I need some advice on getting a portable lock for my bedroom door. My door opens outward instead of inward and I can't find any portable locks for an outward opening door. [link] [comments] | ||
| How to get started with open source home automation wifi light switches? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 05:13 AM PST I want to start making my light switches smart mainly because I don't like it when I'm in bed already half asleep and have to stand up and walk to the other three light switches in my apartment to turn the other lights off. There is one light switch that I can reach from my bed. I did look into some products like Philips Hue and thought those are a poor choice mainly because I already have perfectly fine working lamps and the only thing that I think needs to be added is different control. I want to be able to toggle all the 4 lamps in my apartment from that one next to my bed, and also have a way to do it through some LAN software interface. Not something that only works with a mobile app but also with a Linux PC, perhaps a local web server and some bash command. An extra potential thing but not something that I want to spend a lot of money on would be dimmable lights. All the bulbs that I have are LEDs. It would be cool to be able to control that with a software slider and rotary encoder on the wall. My apartment is small and the routers wifi easily reaches everywhere, and so would the wifi signal from any kind of SBC. I was thinking maybe some open source home automation software running on perhaps a raspberry pi 2 which I have spare, and maybe some ESP32 modules behind the light switches in the walls. I'm not sure on that. Also I should note that the light switches are wired through concrete walls in a rented apartment so I can't rewire through the walls. All I can do is disable the mains power, take off the light switches from the walls, replace them, and perhaps solder something behind the switches. I wonder if it is easy to power the ESP32 modules behind there. Or maybe I'm thinking about this wrong and there is a better approach, let me know! I like to use Free software and open standards. It is not important for me yet to get this working from outside my LAN for now. In the past I've set up a VPN on the raspberry pi but that didn't run stable unfortunately. Setting up a VPN will be another future project, and perhaps a mailbox sensor (which is far out of reach of the wifi) as well. [link] [comments] | ||

| Better smart light switch (n+1 principle) Posted: 02 Mar 2020 12:34 PM PST Hi all Despite not having 2 gangs, I have used a 2 gang smart switch to get extra functions! This WiFi wall switch is flashed with Tasmota and integrated with NodeRed to get the following features:

| Posted: 02 Mar 2020 08:18 AM PST I have three Shelly 1 V3 installed behind 3 different single pole standard toggle switches in my U.S. Home. 1 of the switches work flawlessly. I can turn light on from switch and from app with no issues. But the other two wired exactly the same are having problems. I can control from switch, but at times if I turn on the light from app the relay then goes offline on the app and I can no longer control it until I flip the switch again and leave it off. Any thoughts on what I may have configured wrong??? [link] [comments] | ||
| Smart lamps compatible with pulse signals? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 08:02 AM PST I already have a few Yeelights and a pair of sonoff basic at home, they're usually controlled by automated routines and voice commands only. But right now I'd like to add smart lamps everywhere in the house, but there are some rooms in which I don't want to get rid of the interruptor and by having a normal interrupt there's always the chance of leaving it off and not working remotely when I need it. Are there any smart bulbs that play nice with a pulse signal interruptor? Or should I try another solution? [link] [comments] | ||
| Looking for UK towel warmer smart switch Posted: 02 Mar 2020 11:02 AM PST Hey all! I recently moved in to London and I'm looking for a smart switch that could handle the voltage on an electric towel warmer. This thing chugs a lot of electricity and i'de like to turn it off when I leave my flat. Any recommendations? [link] [comments] | ||
| What are some of the better unique devices? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 02:49 AM PST So aside from the obvious stuff like cameras, locks, vacuums, lights, etc. What are some of the better unique items (toilets, water bottles, showers, beds, etc.) [link] [comments] | ||
| Solar powered flood lights that work with HomeKit or SmartThings or Lutron? Posted: 02 Mar 2020 10:16 AM PST I would like to put some lights in my backyard but I don't have a power source. It would be great if I could mount solar powered lights to a tree out back so it's pointed at my house and not blasting the neighbors with light. My setup is HomeKit and SmartThings, and a pi running homebridge so I can control everything through HomeKit. [link] [comments] | ||
| Personal Setup: Sound Bar won't turn on with TV Posted: 02 Mar 2020 10:05 AM PST Looking for advice from people smarter than me (most of you in this subreddit). I currently have TCL Smart TV with Roku built in and a Polk Audio Command Bar. The command bar has Alexa built in, and that's what we currently use as our Amazon mic. My problem is: When using Alexa to turn on the TV, the TCL/roku comes on, but not the polk sound bar. In a nutshell: "Alexa turn on the TV" = TV turns on but sound bar doesn't Use TCL/roku Remote = TV and sound bar turn on When I use the TCL/roku remote to turn on the TV, the sound bar comes on fine. But if I ask Alexa to turn on the TV I have to grab the Polk Command Bar remote and turn it on by hand. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this exact set up or can help figure out how to get the sound bar to turn on when the TV is turned on through Alexa. The audio bar shows up in the Alexa app, but as an input. There's not an option to turn it on or off as a device. I don't have a lot of experience with IFTTT, so I'm wondering if there's an option through that. Thanks in advance. I'll try and answer questions and supply an additional info in the comments. This subreddit is awesome [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 02 Mar 2020 09:28 AM PST Hi everybody, I have a fixture with 3 spots for some GU5.3. At home I have already Philips Hue, Ikea Tradfri, and Osram. I was wondering if you could suggest me one more low-cost alternative to Hue to see how they behave. I use the Hue bridge so they should be compatible with it. I'm looking for color temperature ones, but if you can suggest some RGB ones I could give them a shot. [link] [comments] | ||
