| Looking for a way to automate fan/light controls at 304.25MhZ frequency Posted: 23 Mar 2020 06:12 PM PDT I bought a new fan a while back and would love the idea of automating it. I spent a little time with a raspberry pi and some wall outlet switches that operate at 433MhZ. I was able to buy sniffers and transmitters for that frequency, and they worked fine. I hoped that the fan remote also worked on this range, but the sniffer doesn't pick it up. When I googled the FCC ID # on the back of the remote, I can see the application requesting and being granted access to 304.25MhZ. I figured I could find similar modules for my pi on those frequencies, but have been unable to do so. Does anyone know any other way to integrate with that frequency? [link] [comments] | ||
| Does anyone know of any devices to activate power only when lights are on? Posted: 23 Mar 2020 09:33 PM PDT I was looking for something that can sense when the room lights are turned on and proceed to feed power to anything plugged into it. For example a speaker that activates when lights are on and turns off when lights are switched off. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Is there a way to run IFTTT applets on a mac? Posted: 23 Mar 2020 06:08 PM PDT Preferably a button in the menu bar or something. I basically have a Kasa TP-Link smart plug and want to control it's on/off via my mac. It is already configured with IFTTT which I use for my phone, but is there a way to do it on mac?

| Advanced strip LEDs without WiFi access? Posted: 23 Mar 2020 10:30 PM PDT Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'm looking for some decently specific advice that I couldn't really find elsewhere. So I am currently looking into smart LED strips for when I am allowed to go back to university. I really like the look of led strips that can be multiple colors at once, but it seems that all of those need to be controlled through WiFi. My university doesn't allow any smart home devices to be connected to their networks for privacy reasons. They also don't allow private networks of any kind. I was wondering if there was any type of light strip that doesn't need WiFi but has the more advanced features of multiple colors on once strip? Or if not, what is the best option for outlining a room in led strips with a lot of color options on a remote? [link] [comments] | ||
| Robot vacuums: Roborock S5 or S4? Posted: 23 Mar 2020 03:10 PM PDT Hey all, I would like a robot vacuum, in my reading it seems the Roborocks are the favored brand. I have a mixture of medium pile carpet and tile. 1600SF house with 3br/2ba. I'm not sure which vacuum would work best, seems the S4 has a loyal following but carpet performance may be an issue? Oh, and I have a LOT of doghair to deal with...thanks for any thoughts, and I don't need a mop. [link] [comments] | ||
| Just bought a house, need advice and suggestions Posted: 23 Mar 2020 07:26 PM PDT Like the title says, i just closed on a house and i'm looking into setting up a smart ecosystem. I've bought a couple of things already, mostly because I've seen them on sale and after doing research they seemed like better options for me. Here's what I've bought:
That's all I have so far, and I'm needing some suggestions on other things I want to buy. I'd like to buy a smart lock for my front door, not sure what to get. Is Yale alright? I'd like to be able to lock them remotely, or set up a time for them to lock automatically. Can you guys suggest one? I'm also looking for a good router so I've been looking into mesh systems. My house isn't that big, but its two floors and 1500 sqft and I'd like to have full coverage for wifi and good speeds (i plan on having a 300mbit minimum connection). So far I've looked into the Google Nest Wi-Fi Router & Point, which is on sale for like $199 right now. Or something like the TP-Link Deco M9 Plus Tri-Band Wi-Fi System with Built-In Smart Hub for around the same price. Honestly, I have no idea what's better and I'm open to suggestions here even if its not one of these two. I like the idea of simplicity with google, but I'd love being able to customize some settings if i felt like it. Also would like suggestions on things that I've missed or overlooked, i know i need some sort of "controller" to be able to manage everything, i think i've read about an open source one here somewhere but i forget the name now. I'm cool with that or something closed source as long as its convenient and not too limiting. Thanks in advance for any help! [link] [comments] | ||
| Insteon - Open / Closed Sensor Posted: 23 Mar 2020 01:06 PM PDT Hello All, I was wondering if the Insteon Open / Close Sensor could be used outside to monitor a fence gate that is within WiFi range. If not can you suggest a product that will do what I'm trying to get the Insteon sensor to do? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 23 Mar 2020 12:41 PM PDT I want to thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide me. DETAILS: I am about to purchase a Monoprice 6 Zone Home Audio Multizone Controller and Amplifier Kit ( https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=10761 ) to install in a new home. And I would like some direction on which Monoprice speakers and possibly some additional gear I might need. In the not so distant future I may have need for one or two more zones. So I might end up daisy chaining a second Monoprice 6 Zone unit. I will be running 5 of the 6 zones from the initial Monoprice 6 Zone to pairs of typical single channel in-ceiling speakers (let's call these speakers TYPE-1 ). Pretty straightforward. The sixth zone is in a bathroom which will have two stereo (4-wire) speakers. One of these speakers must be suitable for wet space inside of a shower ceiling (let's call this speaker TYPE-2) and the other is just a typical stereo (4-wire) speaker (let's call this speaker TYPE-3). All speaker locations have 12 gauge wire run to them. My questions are:
Thanks in advance for your help. [link] [comments] | ||

| Online Hard-Wired Motorized Blinds? Posted: 23 Mar 2020 07:38 AM PDT Besides Zebra Blinds, does any other online retailer sell hard-wired smart motorized blinds direct to customer? Our home is pre-wired for them, so we want to avoid battery operated options. Specifically looking for discounted options (not the big name brands that come to you) - more like blinds.com or selectblinds.com -- but those don't offer hard-wiring. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Nest secure range extendable through google nest wifi? Posted: 23 Mar 2020 10:24 AM PDT I have a nest secure and my garage sensor is at the absolute max of the range, sometimes out of range depending on how the wind is blowing. I have a couple triggers setup through iftt and the myq garage door opener but want the alarm system to work well/consistent with other triggers happening. I've been considering buying the google nest wifi and point so I can get some better range out in the garage/back yard and I'm curious if the google wifi point will also act as a range extender for the secure or if I would have to get the secure range extender separately. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| How to reset Milight bulb without remote / app Posted: 23 Mar 2020 07:33 AM PDT I have a new controller, but I need to resync it to the bulbs, is there any way to reset the bulbs without a remote / app? [link] [comments] | ||
| UK - Best Nest Hello + Chime + Transformer + Containment box combos? Posted: 23 Mar 2020 03:42 AM PDT I'm looking to setup my Nest Hello the neatest way possible. I've spoke with an electrician and we're going to spur off from a light switch. Now my only concern is finding a chime, transformer and having everything contained in one neat box above my door. Any of you done one of these and care to share? Thank you!! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 23 Mar 2020 03:17 AM PDT Is there a device the size of the Sonoff mini, which can be powered in series with a smart bulb, that simply connects to a switch and sends MQTT messages when the switch is flicked? That way I could put them in my wall switch boxes and use them as remotes for my smart bulbs. [link] [comments] | ||
| Smart plug auto off below current Posted: 23 Mar 2020 03:09 AM PDT Hi, Is anyone aware of a smart plug that can do this: switch off when current draw drops below x watts? Basically an auto standby eliminator. My computer and peripherals draw~25w in standby, so I'd like the plug to cut power when it detects that the current has dropped below 30w.

| ILife V5s Pro vs Eufy 11s vs Eufy 30 [India] Posted: 23 Mar 2020 02:00 AM PDT I had posted on this thread 3-4 days ago.. didn't get any replies, hence posting again with some more info. I'll be using the vacuum on Hard floor (ceramic tiles) only and not on Carpets. I have lots of hair lying around in house due to 3 female members and lots of dust here in India.
One more thing, from the Vacuum comparison video on youtube channel Vacuum Wars, V5s Pro has more air flow than 11s even when it has a weaker motor. How is that possible? Due to absence of brush? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 23 Mar 2020 01:02 AM PDT From the Home Assistant integration : Note there are at least 4 versions of the Xiaomi IR Remote (ChuangmiIr) which can be recognized by their default hostname:
Only the first of those supports pronto hex codes, while the others I guess do not. Some hints out there that for other models the raw code does not work, although I've not seen that confirmed in anything but forum posts. Who can confirm their device is a `chuangmi.ir.v2` and can share (here or DM) a link to the product on AliExpress? I don't want to wait a month and receive the wrong one. [link] [comments] |
