| Why are all smart switches Decora-style? Posted: 08 Apr 2020 09:22 AM PDT Why aren't there any smart light switches that use the standard lever for on/off? I'm a grumpy old man and prefer them to the Decora-style switch. Plus for my mulit-gang switch boxes, I'll either need to replace all of the switches at once, or buy a new face plate each time I upgrade a switch. [link] [comments] | ||

| Options for controlling FireTV Posted: 08 Apr 2020 06:48 PM PDT My situation: I'm trying to use an Elgato Stream Deck to control my FireTV. I'm able to use a combination of Tasker, Harmony Hub, Pushover, and IFTTT to turn on/off my devices. What I'd like to be able to do now is control media playback (play/pause, rewind, fastforward). I tried doing it the same way I control power to my devices, but having so many steps results in a delay that makes it basically impractical. I'm hoping someone has an idea of how I can accomplish this in the most practical way possible. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 08 Apr 2020 11:54 AM PDT A portion of my house is less insulated and I would like for the thermostat to turn on the fan when the temperature difference between the main thermostat and the remote temperature sensor (https://store.google.com/us/product/nest_temperature_sensor) exceeds some adjustable limit. This would allow me to circulate the air and even out the temperature in the house. I'm already aware of the setting to run it hourly on a set schedule, but I only want to run it when I have to. I haven't found such a setting in the thermostat. Is there some way I can do this? I should mention I have some coding skills so some API workaround would also work for me. [link] [comments] | ||
| Recommendations for a smart thermostat? Posted: 08 Apr 2020 03:43 AM PDT I have a new build apartment with two zones. I live in the UK, and the power is 230V to the thermostat. The thermostat I have is a Honeywell ST9500C, and there is a control dial in each zone. I bought a Nest Thermostat 3, but decided I couldn't use it because wiring it for two zones requires a second thermostat (dial at least), and probably takes hiring someone to come and fit it. I have a pretty extensive home automation setup, I have a custom Zigbee network (zigbee2mqtt), and an Aqara Temperature / Humidity sensor in each room. I don't really need a dial to control the thermostat in the zones, I can automate that away. What I want is a WiFi or Zigbee thermostat that's compatible with my setup, and works in the UK. It should not use cloud services and I should be able to integrate it into Home Assistant. I've looked around and haven't found anything like that, it seems like the options are limited, especially in the UK, and they all rely on cloud services. [link] [comments] | ||
| Any way to make this bathroom fan/heater switch smart? Posted: 08 Apr 2020 04:51 PM PDT Hey all. So this is the current switch for our bathroom heater/fan and light. I currently have Hue bulbs as lights and use a motion sensor to work the lights. However, I'd like to make the whole thing smart and I can't figure out how to do it. Ultimately, I'd like to have one switch that would control whether the fan or heater kicks on, and the other switch would control the lights. So during the summer, we could have it so that when we enter the room, the fan and lights kick on, and in the winter it would be the heater and lights. Best case, we'd only have one switch on the wall that would control the fan and heater and nothing for the lights, since Hue can control them. I'm also open to changing out the Hue bulbs with dumb bulbs and putting in smart switches, but I'm not sure how one switch could control three things (fan, heater, light). Any ideas from you geniuses? [link] [comments] | ||
| Is $59 a good price for the Arlo Video Doorbell? Posted: 08 Apr 2020 04:35 PM PDT My local Walmart has the Arlo Video Doorbell on sale for $56 dollars and I was curious if it is a good price/doorbell in your guy's opinion. I don't have a lot of smart stuff yet (a bunch of google minis, a SimpliSafe security system, and a Samsung TV I can turn on/off with my voice). I think the Nest Hello is what I really want with a video doorbell, but I am broke, and the price for the Arlo is just within impulse buy pricing for me. So, is it worth it at that price? Should I pull the trigger? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Motion Sensor: ESPHome or purchase 4 in one sensor? Posted: 08 Apr 2020 04:32 PM PDT I am a SmartThings user and I'm thinking about adding some lux and motion sensors in the home for lighting automations. I also want a motion sensor for my alarm system as the one from my previous alarm is terrible. Would you build one using ESPhome or Node MCU and tie it into smartthings or would you buy an off the shelf 4 in one sensor from a reputable brand? I want it to be stable but dont want to spent a bunch of money either. It seems like the ESPhomes are pretty darn cheap, but i dont know how reliable they are. Thoughts? [link] [comments] | ||
| Indoor and outdoor temperature monitors Posted: 08 Apr 2020 08:52 AM PDT Hi, I want to set up an indoor and outdoor temperature monitors to get some statistics during the year, current temperature, humidity etc. Like a weather station at home. I was looking for something I could check from my phone and the only interesting thing I could see is the Xiaomi Mi Temperature + a miija hub?? The problem I saw is that this weather device is not good for outdoors so I have no idea what other options I have. I have a budget of £150 / $180 but I have no idea what should I get. Any recommendations ?? I currently have a roborock s50 vacuum cleaner and a hue Phillips system installed, not sure if this could be helpful for the ecosystem. Any recommendations? Thank you [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 08 Apr 2020 02:54 PM PDT Hi all. I have been looking for a 4K or higher video quality doorbell cam. I am just no longer satisfied with the ring 1080p quality. I know I can get 4k cameras but integrated into the doorbell would be ideal. What is the best video quality device you have seen? [link] [comments] | ||
| Recommendation for a Temp and Humidity sensor that works with Smart Life Posted: 08 Apr 2020 10:07 AM PDT I have a basic home automation setup where I use google home to control some lights etc. I am looking to control a fan and humidifier based on room temp and humidity. Both connected to smart plugs controlled by Smart Life App. I am looking for a Temperate and Humidity sensor that works with the Smart Life app. Any recommendations? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 08 Apr 2020 09:34 AM PDT hello all. Doing some digging to UK standards ( I reside in the UK) I found this 2 way switch diagram Also found this on 2 way switch for shelly but wasn't super helpful https://community.openhab.org/t/solved-shelly1-wiring-with-2-way-switching-hotel-switch/77534/2 Taking pictures of my switches this seems relatively accurate with the exception that it's the old british standard of wiring colorcodes (red and black) https://imgur.com/CeHIL81 My assumption is I would put the shelly in the 2nd box buuuut how do I hook it up to make shelly and both switches function? Would Black go in neutral, I split a live (red) off to to L . I dont know what to put in SW, I would guess Yellow as I think switch command comes from there on the opposite switch. What do I put in 0 and 1? The 2nd box appears to be the main hub for the other 2 rooms since it has all the blacks group together. Lastly obligatory yes I know I am doing this at my own risk, yes I know I could die. I do take it seriously, all circuits are off at the junction box, I have purchased specific srcrewdrivers to work on this that are rated for live wiring (which I am not) and I have esd mat and gloves. Sorry for the long post and thanks in adv [link] [comments] | ||

| Automatic Shutoff Valve that works with Smartthings? Posted: 08 Apr 2020 08:28 AM PDT I have a bunch of smartthings water sensors around the house. Is there a valve that will turn off the water when one of the sensors pick up water? Thanks [link] [comments] | ||
| Smart Thermostats & Zoned Heat Posted: 08 Apr 2020 07:27 AM PDT Hi! My home has 7-zone hot water baseboard heat (with 7 thermostats) and single zone forced air (where one of those thermostats controls everything). The thermostats are all old, and I want to upgrade to a smart system. I already have a single Nest E sitting in a box from a past apartment. What's the best thing to install given this system? Should I just splurge on more Nests? Thanks in advance for the ideas! [link] [comments] | ||
| SmartThings and GE/Jasco toggle switches missing Posted: 08 Apr 2020 06:45 AM PDT I have a number of the GE branded Jasco toggle switches running with a SmartThings version 1 (are there two?) hub. Last week the switches started falling off the network, becoming unavailable. This has been intermittent, sometimes they are back, but, it seems to be getting worse in that over the past couple of days they are mostly gone. All the switches are working fine manually and there has been no issues with a surge or that sort of physical damage to home. Now I have noticed my door sensors are slow to respond or not responding at all. I have a few Hue bulbs and they are still working fine via SmartThings. System has been up and running with no issues for years and I did not make any changes. I replaced the hub batteries and left it unplugged overnight to see if it could reset. No help. Has anyone experienced this? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 08 Apr 2020 06:38 AM PDT I just bought a new house moving in June. The house comes with nest integration (two nest thermostats, nest security including sensors and a camera). I currently have 12 hue lights of different assortments. I plan on getting smart shades (maybe Lutron or IKEA) in the future and I would like to automate a large majority of the house. I've been looking at the Brilliant switch and I really like that it incorporates a lot of different systems (except no longer nest) and it has an interface on the wall. Any suggestions on using BRilliant or an alternative? thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 08 Apr 2020 05:21 AM PDT Hi I got 10m led strips in my room, currently powered and controlled by a normal rgb controller and IR remote. I am looking to control the lights with my echo dot and on amazon i found the Magic Home controller. I was worried about the power consumption, having long strips i have tried to look what was the maximum length supported by the controller but haven't found anything; I'm worried it wouldn't work, on the specs is written 12V 4A and mine are 12V 6A(max). Has anyone got experience with this controller? my strips are 10m, 30 LEDs/meter at 12V Idk if this is the right sub sorry. [link] [comments] |
