| Posted: 20 Mar 2020 08:07 AM PDT Working on some Home Automation projects. Project 1 Put some lights up under my fireplace. I got a great deal on Slyvania Lightify since the cloud servers are set to go down. I use smartthings so they integrated perfectly. Full RGB and Color Temp control ----- Project 2 Built a system to remind me to clean my kitty litter using a acceleration sensor attached to a litter scoop. If I don't touch the scoop for 72 hours it emails me. https://imgur.com/a/cRyiqxD Let me know if you'd like anymore details on this one. Required a bit of a Rube Goldberg machine. Smartthings ---> Google Sheet ---> Microsoft Flows ---> Azure MSSQL ---> Job set to email me. ----- I think next I'll work on something to make sure the trash/recycling gets out to the curb on time.

| I just got my frist Raspberry Pi, now what? Posted: 20 Mar 2020 02:30 PM PDT I intend to automate the blinds, lights and coffee machine of my house. Can you share any links to beginner tutorials that you enjoyed and I could test out on my Pi? Would really appreciate that. [link] [comments] | ||

| Converting 3-pole to 2-pole with smart dimmer switch? Posted: 20 Mar 2020 07:42 PM PDT I just moved into a new place and I have several 3-pole switches that I want to modernize, since I'll be adding voice control I'd rather save money and not upgrade both switches. Can I install a smart dimmer switch on just one of the switches and bury the second box (remove the switch and cover it with a face plate) and consider it a 2-pole switch? What would you recommend using? I was considering the Kasa Smart switches (I plan to set up an Echo Plus). Also should i buy a 2-pole switch if I plan on burying the second switch, or will I still need a 3-pole switch but only use one of the switches? (Also to complicate things further pretty sure the house doesn't have a neutral line). Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Upgrading to smart switches - Currently 3-way dimmers and 2-way Posted: 20 Mar 2020 06:42 PM PDT Hi - I am looking at upgrading all the switches on the ground floor of my house to be smart switches. I want ones that are HomeKit compatible, and am looking at the Wemo and Lutron switches. I have a couple newb questions though - - Currently, Wemo 3-way switches are a bit cheaper than the 2-ways (I'm upgrading about 30 switches). Is it possible to use a 3-way switch to replace a 2-way? - A few 3-way switches that I have are on dimmers; the Wemo dimmer is not 3-way compatible. Is it possible to replace one of these switches with a Wemo dimmer that is only 2-way? I don't actually care if the other switch in the 3-way works or not. [link] [comments] | ||

| Can I replace a DSC WT 5500 panel with Iotega WS9TCHWNA? Posted: 20 Mar 2020 12:46 PM PDT Hello all. I was wondering about my control panel for home security. I have a system and number of sensors around my house that I'd prefer to NOT have to replace in order to upgrade to a system that is compatible with HomeKit or home automation. So my question is in the title - if I already have the DSC WT 5500 panel, can I simply replace that panel with a different panel like the Iotega? Is there anything else I need to do and/or replace anything else? Appreciate all the informative responses. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Robot Vacuum Cleaner under $200 in India Posted: 20 Mar 2020 12:30 PM PDT Hello people, a very good evening. I am thinking of getting a Robot Vacuum Cleaner and a Dishwasher (Bosch) as we are not able to get a maid for almost an year. My budget for first RoboVac is limited to $200 Since it will be replacing the maid, I wanted a robovac with Mopping feature as well but after reading numerous posts here, I have realized that the budget robovacs with mopping don't really perform well. So now I am emphasizing on the vacuuming part only. The only reasonably reviewed robovacs on Amazon India are - 1) Eufy 11s [$180] 2) Eufy 30/r500 [$200] 3) ILife V5s Pro (only robovac to offer Mop feature) [$200] 4) Ecovacs Deebot 500 [$173] Kindly advise which one to go for? Though I dig the Roborock S5 Max which is a favorite on this thread as well, I just can't cough up around $500 on a vacuum cleaner. [link] [comments] | ||
| Home Automation and durability Posted: 20 Mar 2020 01:48 AM PDT So currently I'm living in a flat with a few roommates and only have fitted smart home acessories to my room. Last week my Homematic bridge has given up on me after 4 to 5 years of steady use. Three months ago a LAN connected smart power strip has stopped working. And about one year ago my Homematic light switch has failed. [link] [comments] | ||
| Switching Which Smart Switch Controls Which Light Posted: 20 Mar 2020 09:56 AM PDT Hi everyone, In my bathroom currently, the light switch and switch for the bathroom fan are currently switched from what is traditional and logical. I was looking into getting WiFi switches and I was wondering if it's possible to switch which switch controls which thing (light vs fan). I know some switches support IFTTT so if the apps don't support what I'm hoping to do natively, maybe there's a IFTTT script that does? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Having Troubles with Nest Wifi Point Posted: 20 Mar 2020 05:35 AM PDT I have a Nest wifi router and a wifi point. The wifi point is one floor directly above the router but it keeps going offline, and when it goes offline I can't restart it remotely using "Restart Wifi Point." I have to literally unplug it and plug it back in again. Is there a way to restart it remotely? And is there a way to prevent it from going offline regularly? It's Verizon's gigabit Fios, so it's not like it's having weak signals. It's just one floor up, like 7 feet away from each other. Also, what is the best way to know that it's offline? Right now I have to go to Google Home > Wi-Fi. If I ask "OK. Google. Are you online?" The answer is always yes because that's Google Assistant answering. Is there a command to find out if the Wi-Fi Point is connected? The other thing that annoys me is that it never notifies me when it got disconnected. I have to go to Google Home to find out. Is there a way to get notified? [link] [comments] | ||
| Domoticz webpage offline but is running Posted: 20 Mar 2020 02:28 AM PDT Hello, I have installed a raspberry Pi with domoticz and homebridge. Everything is working fine but the domoticz page went offline after about a week of use (might have went offline after a homebridge update, I'm not sure). Everything else is working fine, I just can't reach the page anymore. Its on port 8080, homebridge is on port 8581 and works fine. I had this problem before, could not fix it so I re-installed my raspberry. Now I have already invested too much time in configuring everything and I would loose too much time to go for a clean install. Can anybody try to point me in the right direction to solve this issue? I only use the domoticz page to check on my heater graphs since that's the only thing I can't do from homebridge. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Does my Xiaomi/Aqara home security set up plan sound workable? Posted: 20 Mar 2020 07:57 AM PDT I'm looking to set up a home security system and I'm hoping to do it with the Xiaomi/Aqara start kit (gateway, motion sensor, wireless switch, 2x door sensors) plus the Mijia smart camera (the wireless battery powered one that comes with a hub). So what I want to do is this: Arm/disarm the door sensors and motion sensor using the wireless switch, when they are triggered the gateway alarm sound AND the Mijia camera takes a recording - if it goes off and the wireless switch is pressed it deactivates the alarm AND The door sensors automatically arm during night hours but the motion sensor does not ie. the motion sensor is only activated when the alarm is set by the wireless switch, allowing people to go down stairs and use the kitchen at night without setting it off Is that possible?
