| Securing Sonos Devices a reminder to check UPnP settings Posted: 29 Apr 2020 03:33 PM PDT Hey all, following on from my post about insecure cameras that you might have read and enjoyed here. You really need to invest some time reading about how to secure these kinds of devices, I suspect a lot of you already do. It's not that difficult to be honest as most are "insecure by default" which is the big issues. In a series of posts I am looking at what is out there on the internet using the Rapid 7 Open Source datasets. Some of it is low hanging fruit like the Roku devices or the cameras etc and in this series I am picking on Sonos because I happen to love the Sonos brand. So alas...I picked the UK but there are a lot more, Again I do not have the compute power to go through all the datasets, The largest sets are a few gig and that takes a lot of memory to churn through. So Sonos, Might I add this is NOT a bug with Sonos this is incorrectly or misconfigured devices. It would not take someone like me long at all to write a computer program to hijack these devices on mass around the world and change settings using the SoCo Python Library, play whatever music or sounds I want which would be inconvenient at best and creepy and scary at worst depending on the situation. So anyway check your IP against this list, Ask people who have Sonos players too. There are more out there this is just looking for the UK stuff in the smaller datasets. Please feel free to take a look at my code and use it if you want to spend time with the larger datasets. Thanks for reading and enjoy. [link] [comments] | ||
| Smart outlets (w/energy metering) without cloud component Posted: 29 Apr 2020 11:21 PM PDT Moved last year and most of my Insteon plug controllers broke in the process (plastic cases fell apart), and it is time to get things running again in the new home. I am struggling to smart outlets that need zero cloud (or any Internet for that matter) access. I need at least some that I can pull energy data from as well. I have no intention of ever letting an Echo or similar in my home. I am agnostic on communication technology, but I have experience with Home Assistant and OpenHAB, along with an ISY and Insteon modem in the parts bin. I bought a few cheap smart outlets hoping I could flash Tasmota, but it wasn't an option. Any recommendations? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 29 Apr 2020 12:48 PM PDT (Apologies to those who already know this - some don't). You can integrate your Sonoff smart plugs into Home Assistant (and thus node-red) without flashing firmware etc. No cloud needed - you can disconnect your internet. Super fast, they turn off/on before your finger or mouse has left the button. Much easier than flashing firmware, for my case anyway. Didn't even need to physically touch the devices, great if they are somewhere remote or hard to access. Video with details: [link] [comments] | ||
| Garage door remote keeps triggering in relay Posted: 29 Apr 2020 04:54 PM PDT I successfully rigged up my garage door to open remotely via this method. [tl;dr: I soldered a garage door remote to a relay connected to a NodeMCU. I used ESPhome and it's connected to Home Assistant.] The strange thing is that if the NodeMCU loses power, the remote keeps firing constantly. I'm a novice to electronics, but shouldn't it not do that? As in the diagram, the relay has wires from common and normally closed to the the remote. If there is no power, the relay should be "closed" and thus no current, which means the remote should not fire. Or am I missing something? [link] [comments] | ||
| Smart fan and light controller? Posted: 29 Apr 2020 11:04 PM PDT Looking for information from the collective genius of this sub. I've been looking for a while and I'm starting to lose hope of such a product existing. A single controller for the fan and light that fits in a one gang box. Has anyone seen such a thing? I'd like something compatible with HomeKit but I'm not dead set on that. If this doesn't exist has anyone found a good simple solution for it? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 29 Apr 2020 08:42 PM PDT I wanted to see if there is a way to configure iaqualink so if the pool heater (or spa heater) is on, the pump will turn on (or stay on). I have a schedule set up for my pump and solar heater but sometimes I turn the pool heater on and then the pump shuts off per the timer but the pool heater will stay on. I want the pump to be on whenever a heater is on. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 29 Apr 2020 10:04 PM PDT I'm hoping this community can help me because I've hit a hunch of brick walls. After over a year, my Sengled hub wouldn't connect to the internet even though it's directly wired. I tried resetting everything multiple times and ended up figuring that the hub just croaked. I bought a new one, set it up yesterday, got it working and now today.... the same problem. I confirmed with my internet provider that everything is working on that side, even connected my Sengled and Xfinity accounts, yet still nothing. I also confirmed that no devices are being blocked through my xfinity account just in case. A few hub resets in, and I still have the same problem. Any thoughts or ideas? I don't want to convert to a new hubless set up just to have the same problem or something like that. I'm just at a bit of a loss! Thanks in advance for the help. [link] [comments] | ||
| Come Home Automation Issue with Alexa Posted: 29 Apr 2020 09:52 PM PDT So I have a goal for my home automation home routine. I have an Amazon echo as the hub for my smart home that I have just started putting together. I also have ADT for my alarm company. I have a set of Kasa Smart dimmers on the way and plan on getting a smart deadbolt in the near future. (Suggestions very welcome) Now my goal is to utilize geofencing to have alexa know when I'm pulling into the driveway and do the following: 1) Disarm the alarm. 2) Unlock the door. 3) If it is dark out, turn on the outside and entryway lights. Now I don't think that number three will be an issue when the switches get here. The issue is with 1 and I assume 2. Alexa will not allow me to do what it considers a "secure function" with location triggers because reasons. Does anyone have any work around for this or am I going to have to change my hub entirely? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Harmony Hub cycles for no reason Posted: 29 Apr 2020 07:19 PM PDT Hey everyone, like the title states, my harmony hub will just randomly start cycling like this: https://youtu.be/sJMgoW4IoGI almost every single day. It constantly turns off all my hue lights and the tv when it happens, and this happens at least once per night for 30 or so minutes. Any ideas? [link] [comments] | ||
| How do I use the Harmony App as a remote? Posted: 29 Apr 2020 08:00 PM PDT Hi, I recently received my Harmony Hub (Logitech.) Im using the harmony app on the iphone and it seems pretty counterintuitive to me. How am I supposed to bring up a remote control menu if it just displays the activities? Also, I have a denon AVR-3300 and I lost my remote. Im tryinig to setup a new speaker system so Im changing some settings. Thus I need to press the system setup button, and I dont know how to press that with the logitech harmony hub. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 29 Apr 2020 05:22 PM PDT Hey everyone, new homeowner here and I am interested in adding a little bit of home automation. Even though I am planning on starting with only a few lights and switches, I was wondering do you tend to try and stay in the same brand? It is important? Any thoughts of advice about starting fresh? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||

| Automate garage without breaking the traditional method? Posted: 29 Apr 2020 04:42 PM PDT So I live with others who don't always appreciate the automation life. This is why I've invested in Lutron switches, so nothing is broken on their end. I'd like to automate my garage, to be able to open and close it, get alerts if it's left open or when it's opened etc. BUT... I need to leave the current Genie garage opener in place so others can continue to enter and use it exactly as they do now. Perhaps I don't need the Genie garage opener, but will need the new garage opener to: 1) be able to link to the button in the car (by the rear view mirror) 2) be able to open the garage via a panel outside the garage (currently exists and has been useful. I know we could use phones remotely, but in case we are busy.. 3) open with a button from inside the garage Ideally this could work with Hubitat, but I'd consider managing with something outside my system Is this possible??

| Posted: 29 Apr 2020 12:08 PM PDT Nexus Aurora project is a collaboration between volunteers aiming to submit a proposal for the Mars City State Design Competition organized by The Mars Society by the end of June 2020. Together with YouTuber Spaceman Dave, I intend to gather together a crew of 50+ volunteers in various domains: engineering, logistics, aeronautics, programming, design, and other domains. We have to design a viable city for 1 million people on Mars. Volunteers:

| Stupid question: Possible to make a PIR “see” a bathtub? Posted: 29 Apr 2020 09:59 AM PDT I'm trying to figure out how to ask this in the simplest language possible and avoid a long explanation..... ADDITION: I have a separate shower and garden tub and would like them to remain independent from each other in terms of my automations. PIR "sees" a change in temperature in a room so is there any possible way to designate a specific area of the sensors "view" as a bathtub such that when the tub is turned on to fill up with hot water it can "know" that's what's happening and trigger an automation? Specifically I would like to trigger a lighting scene in the master bathroom when my wife draws a bath. I know this sounds pretty outlandish and is more than likely impossible but if you never ask any questions you never learn anything. As a side note: I subscribe to the old adage about "If the only tool you have is a hammer every problem starts to look like a nail" so if there's another way to achieve the desired end result using a sensor or combination of sensors that I'm unaware of.......I am definitely open to suggestions.

| Posted: 29 Apr 2020 04:08 PM PDT Does someone have a good suggestion for home automation capable doorbell to replace my ring doorbells. I would prefer something with a battery and wifi only. My searches have yielded no doorbell cameras [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 29 Apr 2020 07:22 AM PDT I'm currently in the market for a robot vacuum. I've never owned one before, but as the weather gets warmer my cat starts shedding more, making for a floor that is (seemingly) constantly dirty. I would love suggestions based on what everyone else has. Here is my criteria:
That's all of the criteria I can think of. Thanks for your help! [link] [comments] | ||
