| [Question] How do led-strips work? Posted: 10 Mar 2020 07:23 AM PDT Hi everyone. I have recently been working on upgrading my room. Now I want to add some led strips behind my desk and my piano, which have around 20 cm of space between them. I found this led strip on amazon that also works with Google Home: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B07ZFQ2Q6Q?ref_=ast_bbp_dp&th=1&psc=1. However I don't really understand how the installation of the led strips works.. I have seen you can cut led strips, but does that mean that the part I cut off won't be usable anymore? Can I just buy one long led strip and place it on different places or do I have to buy 2 led strips: 1 for the desk and 1 for the piano? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 10 Mar 2020 11:41 PM PDT Hi I'm a newbie , I want to change my gs1903 led strip colour with fastled library over mqtt. I'm using mqtt dashboard app from playstore . It's publishing a json payload as {"mqtt_dashboard":{"color":"#9B2597","brightness" :39}} I want a code that can convert the hexcode to rgb values and turn the led strip accordingly. I couldn't find a code anywhere. Please help me out [link] [comments] | ||
| Hue v1 hub owners, what are your plans to retain full functionality? Posted: 10 Mar 2020 08:01 PM PDT Are you planning on just shelling out for the v2 hub? Living with the v1 limitations? I've been reluctantly holding out because I don't necessarily agree with this planned obsolescence tactic by Philips. Personally I'm mainly just looking to retain amazon echo/Alexa voice control functions. Is this something that is possible with a raspberry pi type bridge? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 10 Mar 2020 06:30 PM PDT Hey everyone! I'll be moving into my new house next month and I'm looking to get some Smart Blinds for it. I'll be getting about 11 blinds, so hoping for some reasonably priced ones. Side note I'm not a huge fan of the IKEA ones, also they are never in stock here. Would love to hear any recommendations you guys have! [link] [comments] | ||
| Should you replace every thermostat in a house with smart thermostats or just one? Posted: 10 Mar 2020 09:43 AM PDT We just moved into a new house with zoned heating (two zones: basement and main level). There is a cheap thermostat on each level that I'm looking to replace. Is it smart to spend the money to replace both thermostats with smart thermostats? Or will just one smart thermostat paired with a room sensor run both zones? [link] [comments] | ||
| Need suggestions for how to light driveway with geofence. Posted: 10 Mar 2020 02:22 PM PDT We have a very long driveway, ~ 300ft long. There are no street lamps, and it can get pretty dark and foggy in the area. This makes finding the driveway at night much harder than it should be. I'd like to have lights that run up both sides of the driveway that turn on when you get close. It would also be nice if the light "moved" up the driveway, just to be over the top. Anyone have any suggestions on how to do this in a cost conscious way? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 10 Mar 2020 07:41 AM PDT So we are redoing our house this summer built in the 1970s any ideas for what we should definitively have. Not a fan of voice assistance but like automation. [link] [comments] | ||

| Can I stop at light switches and locks??? Posted: 10 Mar 2020 03:12 PM PDT I'm looking for a recommendation on lights and smart locks. To start with the lights, I have a couple of places where multiple lights are on one switch and I wish that a second switch was installed in another location. In addition, I have a set of outdoor lights on one switch that I would like automated control over such as setting a schedule ECT. As far as locks are concerned, I am looking to automate 3 different dead bolts. I would like the ability to check the status , set auto-lock timers, unlock remotely, and auto unlock with a connected status if possible. I have been looking at what August is offering, but I do not really know anything about it. What parts or methods for you recommend to get the job done? P.S. I am not dedicated to any system at this time, although I do have an old Lowe's Iris kit that I have not used in 5 or 6 years. I use an Android phone. Please let me know if there is anymore information that you need. [link] [comments] | ||

| Please help finding a smart lock to fit this door Posted: 10 Mar 2020 10:20 AM PDT I am trying to install a wifi capable smart lock on my studio door to allow remote access/temporary access codes. The outer frame of the door is just barely 3" wide and internally some of the door frame is covered up by the building door frame leaving 2.5" of clearance. It's a pretty simple door; a big hook that goes into a metal slot. Was hoping to do a DIY (I have the landlord's permission) but I'm wondering if this needs a full professional commercial install.

| Is it possible to turn on LED light strip based on proximity AND different brightness based on time? Posted: 10 Mar 2020 08:13 AM PDT I want to have LED light strips turn on when someone comes in the room, but I also want two different brightness levels depending on time (bright for 8am-9pm, dim at night). Preferably, I'd like to have a device I can set the time/brightness on and never touch again with no worries about hubs etc. Does anyone know if a product like this is made? If not, can you think of a simple way to do it? I don't have a hub right now and don't have a lot of free time to spend coding/researching/buying stuff but this seems like a dead simple idea and I am surprised I can't find something like it via googling. I have found a very simple solution without two different brightness levels but I really would love that second level. [link] [comments] | ||
| Help with LED strips, controllers and Power Supply Posted: 10 Mar 2020 02:33 AM PDT Hi! So I will start with my hardware. Wifi RGBW controller
RGBW led strip
So I calculated and for this LED strip I would need at least 80W 12V 6.5A Power supply. I asked the guy in the store if it's okay to use this Power supply with my controller and he said yes ("the controller will draw how much it needs no worries of it burning out"). I am a little sceptical about that. So my questions are:
Any feedback is welcome. [link] [comments] | ||

| Blue Iris and Lutron RadioRA 2 Posted: 10 Mar 2020 09:58 AM PDT This is probably a long shot, but does anybody out there have experience getting Blue Iris to control Lutron RadioRA 2 devices? All I want to do is turn on an indoor light when one of the Blue Iris cameras detects motion in certain areas. Looks like the process for Blue Iris to run a script and send a command on motion detection pretty straightforward but the Lutron RadioRA 2 (NOTE: different from Lutron Caseta), even with Connect Bridge, isn't very flexible for taking in external commands like this. Or am I missing something? Fallback plans would be to buy a hub that can control Lutron (i.e. Hubitat, probably) or else just get something like a Wemo smart plug with a regular light plugged into it and have Blue Iris control that. But neither would be as nice as just directly controlling my house lights w/ Blue Iris.. [link] [comments] | ||

| What are good home automation gadgets that don't require permanent attachments? Posted: 10 Mar 2020 09:01 AM PDT Our lease requires that we do not put any large holes, drills or anything else into the walls. They recommend only using 3M removable strips and hooks, like Velcro or something. which is fine, we don't have a problem with that, as they can still accomplish most things we need. But what about home automation? What are some cool gadgets that we can get that we can mount to the wall without permanently attaching them? I have a bunch of spare Android tablets that I can use for google automation if needed, just looking for some ideas. I am particularly interested in a security system, and we have good WiFi connection around the home and outside the home. [link] [comments] |
