| Posted: 25 Mar 2020 08:18 PM PDT Hi guys, I've recently move into a condo and I would like to change my intercom system. It's really old and not really smart. I don't know if there's anything on the market that's really good and could send a notification on your phone or if I could link my smart lights to it so it could flash or change to a different color. Let me know and thanks a lot! [link] [comments] | ||

| Lutron Caseta - how far is to far? Posted: 25 Mar 2020 03:35 PM PDT I am planning to add a number Lutron Caseta switches to my house and questioned if I should put them in for every/most switches or not. The ones I am considering not including are places like closets and pantry/storage. For those of you that have them installed how far did you go and if you were to do it again would you do the same or something different? Thanks and any other tips/thoughts totally welcomed too.

| Posted: 25 Mar 2020 07:14 PM PDT Currently have some under cabinet lighting in my kitchen. I'm looking to replace them with some ws2812 LED strips that I can control via WLED/HomeAssistant. The current lights are wired to a standard wall switch. Any thoughts about how should I go about implementing the new strips? Is it going to be ok pulling the power on/off to a nodemcu or similar? Should I replace the switch with a smart device/relay, such as a shelly, that I can detach the switch from the relay? I still want to be able to use the switch if possible. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 25 Mar 2020 07:13 PM PDT I have had a couple of frozen copper pipes that ruptured in my rental homes over the last couple of years flooding the basement and costing me a lot of money. I just saw the "Flo by Moen" Smart Water Shut Off at Home Depot. Looks interesting. Has anyone ever tried these out in Northern Alberta in the freezing winter? My renters never leave the water dripping to prevent frozen pipes. Probably because water is so expensive in rural Alberta towns. Was wondering if this smart valve would help. Maybe I can remotely monitor if the water pressure is going up indicating the pipes are freezing up and I could call the tenants and warn them. Also if they do leave the water dripping a bit would the valve constantly shut off thinking there was a leak? Any input is appreciated. [link] [comments] | ||
| If I have two switches do I have to use two Lutron Caseta switches? Posted: 25 Mar 2020 06:37 PM PDT I just moved into an old house and am new to home automation. I bought the starter kit: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MXCRAX8 that only has one switch. The room I want to use it in will have Philips dimmable LEDs, but I didn't realize they are controlled by two switches. Do I need two Lutron Caseta switches? If so, what's the difference between switch types? Are 3-way switches what I need? Either way, can I just set one of the old switches to always be in an on position and use what I got in the starter kit? [link] [comments] | ||
| Nexx Garage - has anyone noticed issues that I’ve not read about? Posted: 25 Mar 2020 07:12 AM PDT Installed the Nexx Garage opener system a few days ago, it's a very inexpensive device, because I got it on sale at Amazon a couple of weeks ago. I know all of the arguments AGAINST using features like the "auto open" and such but I wanted to play with it anyways. Don't really want to get into a debate about it. So the auto open upon arrival feature is really cool and has been impressively reliable. The few times it has failed it has been in the "more secure" direction by not opening when expected rather than randomly opening when it shouldn't. I don't know how many folks are using it so my question is "are there problems that I am not aware of that you've experienced or read about online?" because I'm impressed. Truth is I'm still paranoid about it so I'm not really relying on it to behave; I personally verify it via video camera every time but it's been very consistent. I'm just curious if there are things I should be waiting for....."the other shoe" so to speak. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 25 Mar 2020 04:49 AM PDT So I have a staircase that has a light half way up the stairs that turns on from either the bottom or top of the stairs but there are no other lights downstairs nearby and so when I go downstairs it's really dark at night. I want to add another light somewhere downstairs that turns on when the stair lights turn on. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance! [link] [comments] | ||
| Sense and record when a TV is on for screen time monitoring purposes Posted: 25 Mar 2020 11:31 AM PDT Anyone found a good way to sense when a TV is on and log the information? I want to track when the TV is on in our house and for how long. I thought an energy monitor plug could work if it would provide historical information down to the minute, but all the models I found are meant for either instantaneous monitoring or historical monitoring by day (not hour or minute). I found a higher-end energy monitor data logger with enough temporal resolution, but it requires a USB connection to offload the data. Something with this functionality and wifi data transmission (preferably to phone/cloud) would be perfect. Or maybe there's a totally different solution with a vision system or something else?

| HDMI Matrix - Connect to Smart home devices Posted: 25 Mar 2020 06:44 AM PDT Hey there, I wanna swich 4 (or more) HDMI signals through my Flat to 4 outputs, pretty normal so far, but I'm wondering if there's an opportunity to link that to one of my Smart Devices to configure routines that automatically link my Pc to the workstation I currently sit, based on a motion sensor. Anybody got an idea? Thx [link] [comments] | ||
| Wifi in the far flung corner of the apartment Posted: 25 Mar 2020 03:44 AM PDT I know, this has been asked a million times - but there is a catch! I actually have a network drop in this room, I just need wifi for a couple of switches. So is there something out there that I can just plug into? When I search this stuff I find this eero, but if I don't *have* to get that I would like to not have to. [link] [comments] | ||

| Looking to automate some light switches with harmony remote / smart things Posted: 25 Mar 2020 05:29 AM PDT I am wanting to automate some light switches with both smart things and harmony remote. I was looking at Honeywell Z-wave switches https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B3LXZJ9/?coliid=I23R6JZORGITAB&colid=CM2KRI18RHFO&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it but I am not sure if it is going to work out how I would like. What options so you guys recommend? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 25 Mar 2020 02:24 AM PDT I need a humidifier that doesn't have an on/off switch (so it just turns off at wall.) It has to be small. Thanks [link] [comments] |
