| Posted: 18 Apr 2020 09:04 PM PDT Need some help figuring out an automation. Just started playing around with Node-Red, and rather than spend a bunch of time trying to figure it out, i know someone out there has this routine setup already, if they would be willing to share. Motion sensor on the dryer. I want to trigger an alert via google tts (i've got that part figured out), when the motion sensor goes back to off for .. 2 minues .. after being on for at least .. 5 minutes .. Icing on the cake.. i have about 10 google homes in the house. rather than sending to the entire homegroup, i would like to target the message to rooms that have motion via motion sensors. (I only have a couple so far, but thinking a little further down the road) Thanks for your help all! [link] [comments] | ||
| Has anyone who's installed TP-Link wall switches in multi switch gang found compatible covers? Posted: 18 Apr 2020 08:10 PM PDT I really like the clean look of the cover that TP-Link includes, but it's obviously single gang. Will be installing some this weekend in 2 gang settings and want to keep that clean screwless look. [link] [comments] | ||
| Multiple buildings Ethernet connected Posted: 18 Apr 2020 05:28 AM PDT Home automation newbie here. I have a fledgling ST network with a few switches and a dozen or so lightbulbs. Things work ok in my house (when Samsung isn't on the fritz, seems to happen more than I expected). Separate from our main house, we have an outbuilding. WiFi coverage over there is horrible, so I'm getting ready to add an AP via an Ethernet drop I managed to get over there through an existing conduit. I want to add a little smarts over there (thermostat and fire alarm listener to start, maybe some switches later). My WiFi system is Ruckus with R610 access points. As luck would have it, the R610 has a little two port managed switch built into it, so even after connecting the outbuilding AP via Ethernet I can still have a hardwired Ethernet drop in the outbuilding. My current plan of action was to add a second ST hub over there, connected to that Ethernet drop. That would require me to set up a second "location" in ST for all the stuff in the outbuilding. Is there a better way to do it? I know the R610s have IoT capability via an add on adapter, but not sure if that can be leveraged by a "consumer" system like ST or HA. I'm not married to ST either, considering my system is still pretty small...thinking about jumping to HA just because I don't like switches not working when Samsung's servers are borked up. Thanks for any thoughts or advice! [link] [comments] | ||
| Wansview cloud camera static IP? Posted: 19 Apr 2020 12:22 AM PDT I have a Wansview W5 which I have linked to a third party cloud recording service. Last night I discovered that it reallocated itself an IP address and broke my port forwarding, taking my recording service down. Searching through the app and Wansviews pc software, I cannot figure out how to make the ip address static. Has anyone got any guidance on how to do this? [link] [comments] | ||
| Alexa decided she no longer dims hue bulbs or set colors? Posted: 18 Apr 2020 09:35 AM PDT I have multiple hue bulbs placed throughout the house. All bulbs dimmed pretty flawlessly but lately Alexa has decided she doesn't understand dimming commands anymore. "Alexa master bedroom lights 20%" "Sorry. I'm not sure about that." "Alexa, downstairs lights purple" Sorry. I'm not sure about that" The only thing I've changed lately is I've added some nanoleafs to my downstairs area, but I haven't set these up through any smart apps yet or set it up through Alexa. Also, I can still turn individual lights on/off but dimming and setting colors is completely broken. Has anyone else found a fix for this or have a clue where I could start looking for a fix?

| Anyone connect a Valor gas fireplace to Wink or Google Assistant without weird hacks? Posted: 18 Apr 2020 11:55 PM PDT There are a couple companies out there that claim to make hardware for this (iFlame) but none of them have many details and I can't find any details about how it works other than their proprietary apps.

| Posted: 18 Apr 2020 11:34 PM PDT I'm not sure if this is the right sub for this question, but we just installed Philips Wiz recessed lighting in our living room. We really like the look, but the app is really horrible. We have tied the lights into the Google Home app and tried using that, but it is limited in its functionality. The features we are interested include: - Controlling color (static or dynamic) - Setting schedules or routines - Grouping of lights by room and subgroups The two apps we have tried are okay at providing some of these features, but neither are good at all of them. Does anyone know of any good alternative apps for controlling Wiz lights? [link] [comments] | ||
| Shelly 1 detached switch mode question. Posted: 18 Apr 2020 11:06 PM PDT I'm looking to buy a few Shelly 1's for my light switches. I have smart bulbs hooked up to the light switches so I would like to run the Shelly in detached switch mode so I can toggle the lights when the switch is toggled either direction. My only concern is what happens if/when my wifi goes out or the Shelly loses wifi connection? Does it fall back to normal switch mode or will I lose the ability to turn on/off the lights at the switch since it's in detached mode. I've searched online for the answer to this for hours, but can't find it, so I'd be grateful if someone who owns a Shelly can help me out. Thank you! [link] [comments] | ||
| Smart recessed vs. smart switches and other possibilities Posted: 18 Apr 2020 09:49 PM PDT Setting up an Alarm.com and Qolsys IQ 2 panel. Also have some Sonos One speakers with Alexa. About to install recessed lights in my kitchen and possibly living/dining room. Was wondering if it's worth getting the Lutron Caseta with "dumb" lights or something like Philips Hue with their compatible Lutron dimmer or something else. I've got two LIFX a19s I've been using with various lights and pretty happy with those but not sure how bright their down light would work for a kitchen. Haven't messed with geofencing yet but open to having they option for certain things. Also would like to eventually add some outdoor motion sensor lights so overall would like it all to work with alarm.com & Qolsys. Any recommendations? [link] [comments] | ||

| Is it possible to make a water reminder Posted: 18 Apr 2020 01:16 PM PDT I was wondering if you make Philips hue lights blink blue every 20 mins? If yes how would you do this? [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 18 Apr 2020 04:20 PM PDT I have alexa setup next to my 7.1 receiver with a harmony hub linking them all together. Is there any way to hook with Alexa up to the receiver but only have music play through it but keep alexa's responses using only the contained alexa speaker. also what command can I setup for alexa to switch the input over via the harmony hub?

| Posted: 18 Apr 2020 04:39 AM PDT Hello, I'm trying to replace a 3 way micro switch like this one https://uk.rs-online.com/web/p/microswitches/8046209/ with a device that is supported by zigbee2mqtt. Does anyone have an experience with something similar or can recommend a device that could work? Another alternative would be to use some arduino based system or rpi zero, but have no idea how hard would it be to integrate it into hassio? Any ideas are more then welcome, thanks in advance!

| Posted: 18 Apr 2020 01:32 PM PDT Hey guys, I've seen a lot of recommendations here for the Roborock S5. Unfortunately I'm having issues with my 8 month old unit and could use some thoughts. While I'm waiting to hear back from CS support and someone from the Roborock subreddit I thought I'd post here as well. Earlier this morning my unit, during mid cleaning, stopped and just kept running. The side brush and LIDAR both appear to keep turning, but the wheels won't move. Any idea what it could be? Is it a motor issue? I've already taken it apart and cleaned it out thinking debris was preventing it from moving. However it's still an issue. [link] [comments] | ||
| Is there any good *free* image recognition macro software? Posted: 18 Apr 2020 01:02 PM PDT Sorry if this doesn't fit this sub, I'm a bit frustrated trying to figure this out. I need to automate a simple "left click when you see this image" type task. The tutorial I saw was a software called Automatic Mouse and Keyboard. it looks super simple in straightforward, problem is, it's premium. So, I went on reddit and found that alot of people like AutoHotKey for automation. Free, but damn, after a few hours, I still can't get it figured out with no programming or scripting background, and it seems too much of a headache for this task. Is there any good free software with this feature? Or am I back to deciding whether or not I should pay or try AutoHotKey some more? Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] | ||
| Is it possible to display (name: ) a substring of the actual name? Posted: 18 Apr 2020 03:03 AM PDT I have friendly names for devices which are descriptive but too long (the friendly names are inherited via autodiscovery). I need to display them in a card on Lovelace. An example would be Is there a way to display a portion of the name, based on some kind of matching? That could be - a regex: [link] [comments] | ||
| Mi home does not connect with Google home does anyone have a fix? Posted: 18 Apr 2020 12:23 PM PDT Hi, I'm trying to connect mi home to Google home. It says signing in and then jumps back to the previous screen not adding the devices. It's a common issue yet I can't find a solution anywhere. I tried clearing cache, restarting phone, both, clearing browser history cache since it opens a browser. But no luck. Has anyone found a fix by now? It has been more then a year this issue exists [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 18 Apr 2020 11:34 AM PDT Just recently got my shipment of shellys and was super excited to install them. I have run into a problem which I can't figure out what's wrong. I've installed two shellys 1pm next to each other, one is functioning well while the other one worked for a bit and now it just keeps looping on and off. At first I thought it was the device itself so I replaced it with another one but the new one does the same thing. I've replaced the light switch, did most new cables and still no dice. Currently the one that's working is controlling 2 flood lights for the pool, the one that's not working is trying to control 3 LED bulbs 9w each. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

| Motion light switches that support 3 way wiring where both switches have motion detectors? Posted: 18 Apr 2020 11:20 AM PDT Topic. I have been looking around and it seems my only options are "dumb" add on switches for the second switch or using external motion sensors and offloading the logic to a central automation system which has been too slow for my liking (sensor is an aeotec multi 6 that I tried) Any thoughts on the topic are appreciated.

| Posted: 18 Apr 2020 11:14 AM PDT Hi, I'm looking for a E14 smart bulb that is compatible with the Hue App. I hate these terrible candle looking bulbs and they are to long for my purpose. The bulb needs to be max 4,5 cm width and max 8 cm long. I cant find a right one online. I want to mount it in my closed glass ecosystem. But the bottleneck is small. Anyone have suggestions? PS: I have a e14 to Gu10 adapter, in case you have a gu10 recommendation. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 18 Apr 2020 10:57 AM PDT I'm using a Samsung smart plug to control a plug in fan to blow on my potted seedlings on my grow table. I'm looking for a way to setup an animation to have the fan activate multiple times a day for 15 minutes. I know how to setup a simple on off but I don't see how I can set it up for multiple times a day. Currently I'm using smartthings for my animations. [link] [comments] |
