| Voice Controlled Locks for Handicap Resident Posted: 16 Apr 2020 07:35 PM PDT My FIL asked me for a solution for a handicaped client of his. He wants to control locks, thermostat and alarm via voice I started down SmartThings but i am wondering if he could do the Nest platform as a whole. Thermostat and voice is dead simple. He could then do the nest Seure alarm... but can he lock and unlock the Nest / Yale locks via voice? I am worried the unlock may not be possible. Can it be done with voice recognition? Or a pin?

| Dog leaving area notifications? Posted: 16 Apr 2020 06:39 PM PDT I have read about using a smart things arrival sensor on a dog's collar to send a notification when my dog leaves our yard/area. Are there any alternatives to something like this? My thought was just a device that sends a notification when the device loses connection to our homes WiFi. It doesn't need location tracking or anything like that [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 16 Apr 2020 06:00 PM PDT Complete HA noob here looking for some guidance and/or help. What I want to achieve: Upon opening the door, using a door sensor or motion sensor. I want one of my hue portable lights to blink once or twice, or change color for a few seconds to notify me that the door has been openend. If I am away from home I want to receive a notification the door has been opened as well. Which hubs, sensors and apps would you recommend? Thank you kindly! [link] [comments] | ||
| WiFi baby monitor recommendation in Europe Posted: 16 Apr 2020 05:54 PM PDT Hi all, I'm looking to take the plunge into video baby monitors and would appreciate some advice. We would like one camera to start, with a view to adding additional units down the line. I'm looking for a baby monitor / IP camera recommendation of the following: * WiFi connection * Viewable on local network * 1080p camera * Decent low light performance * 2 way communication, if possible. * Reasonable price * No central hub Storing the video is not important, initially at least. And ideally something that we can just monitor on our phones / laptop. I'm in Ireland, so EU models are ideal. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Possible to have Tuya bulbs sync with music? Posted: 16 Apr 2020 05:37 PM PDT I just got a re branded Tuya bulb and have been quite enjoying it. However, with GHome only supporting basic functionality and not scenes I was looking to take it a step further. SO here I am wondering if it's possible for Tuya lights be synced up with music playing on my phone? [link] [comments] | ||
| Adding wildlife PTZ camera to Synology Surveillance Station. Posted: 16 Apr 2020 11:02 AM PDT I have a home security setup based on a mix of cameras (mostly Ubiquity) recorded via Synology Surveilance Station, mostly powered via POE. I have a fair amount of wildlife in the backyard, and would like a way to zoom and and capture details if I happen to be watching when something interesting happens (or check the creek level if not). I think the best way to do that is with an outdoor PTZ that has optical zoom and a high grade camera sensor, preferably POE powered, and Surveillance Station compatible. I don't plan to use PTZ for "patrolling" or other non-live adjustment, so that component doesn't need to be of industrial grade. I'll be mounting under a second story eve, so some zoom probably does matter. Can anyone suggest a good camera to use? When I start searching based on resolution, most of the solutions are excessively expensive (thousands). I know I can't get what I want as cheap as I'd like, but that's just not feasible.

| Ceiling fan with on/off smart switch Posted: 16 Apr 2020 11:25 AM PDT Is there anything inherently dangerous with using a simple on/off smart switch (not dimmer) to control the power for a ceiling fan and light combo? My kids leave their bedroom lights on for hours if nobody notices and it drives me batty. The rooms have ceiling fan light combo, controlled with a single toggle switch. When the ceiling fans are used, they're only ever turned on via the pull chain, which is also used for speed control. The light switch does cut power to both the light and ceiling fan. Is there any reason why a simple on/off smart switch wouldn't work here? [link] [comments] | ||
| What AWG cable to use to link load cells? Posted: 16 Apr 2020 11:23 AM PDT Sorry if this isn't the right sub for this but it's home automation related and unsure where else to put it! It's an easy one! I've got a project that's using 4 x 50kg load cells that have three veryyyy thin wires coming from each them linked to a HX711 board. At the moment I have that all wired up via jumper cables for my testing. I need to now extend those over a larger distance so need some "general wire" to solder to the existing wires between the cells and the HX711. What AWG wire is generally used for smaller electrical projects like this? Don't want to accidentally order some really thick wire online first and looking online it seems to be based on AWG ratings, got no idea! Excuse my basic hardware knowledge here! Thanks!

| A little help with full home voice control please Posted: 16 Apr 2020 10:29 AM PDT I would like to use HomeAssistant with Mycroft.ai and have a microphone in each room and whatever microphone picks up a command (turn on the lights) applies it to that room and only that room (unless you say "all lights"). Is this going to be possible? I don't know if I can do multiple microphones with Mycroft, and if I can't, can someone please point me to something that will work for this? I would like to be able to interface with HomeAssistant, be able to edit commands with Python, and be able to choose a custom wake word. [link] [comments] | ||
| Sonoff ZBBridge - Sonoff Zigbee Bridge from Itead Posted: 16 Apr 2020 06:38 AM PDT Itead has just launched Sonoff ZBBridge which is an inexpensive Sonoff Zigbee Bridge which is based on a similar design as their Sonoff RF Bridge https://www.itead.cc/sonoff-zbbridge.html According to the teardown and notes on notenoughtech.com and cnx-software.com it sounds as if it is based on Silicon Labs EFR32MG21 (EFR32 Mighty Gecko) for Zigbee 3.0 radio module support and ESP8266 (ESP8266EX) for WiFi and bridge/gateway/controller software https://notenoughtech.com/home-automation/sonoff/sonoff-zigbee-bridge-preview/ https://www.cnx-software.com/2020/04/16/sonoff-zbbridge-wifi-to-zigbee-gateway/ By default it uses the eWelink cloud but hopefully we will sooner or later see support for third-party ESP8266 firmware from projects like Tasmota for local control. (Tasmota's Zigbee2Tasmota sub-project has for example support acting as a Zigbee to MQTT bridge via a Texas Instruments CC2530 radio module similar to Zigbee2MQTT) https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Zigbee/ From the images it also looks like Itead is even reusing the same injection moulds as for the Sonoff RF Bridge 433 housing/enclosure, and popular third-party ESP8266 firmware projects like Tasmota and ESPurna already has support for that existing Sonoff RF Bridge. https://sonoff.tech/product/accessories/433-rf-bridge https://www.itead.cc/sonoff-rf-bridge-433.html https://www.itead.cc/wiki/Sonoff_RF_Bridge_433 FYI, listed Zigbee based devices today on Itead website are now;

| Smart Thermostats that don't act as sensor hubs? (noob) Posted: 16 Apr 2020 01:54 PM PDT Hello, I have experience with home automation to the level where I have some assistants and smart outlets. I am discovering that there are many things going on in the community that I have yet to understand, so I want to ask redditors about this. When I look at options for purchasing a smart thermostat, it appears that I am really buying into an ecosystem of sensors (ie: zigbee?) and a central brain as well. I would like to know if there are options where the thermostat is just a component of the smart home, where a separate central "brain" does the controlling and communication with sensors but is not integrated into the thermostat. Perhaps I just don't know the right search terms to use to find this information myself. In my experience, the more modular I can make my system, the more flexible it will be and the easier it will be to upgrade. Thank you for your time. [link] [comments] | ||
| Whole Home Audio - Sonos vs Bose Posted: 16 Apr 2020 01:47 PM PDT Hi There, We recently moved into a new house and are looking to invest in a whole home audio ecosystem. Sonos and Bose are two of our top contenders and need communities guidance/recommendation in deciding between the two. Planning to start off with a couple of speakers in bedroom, kitchen and living room to begin with. Will add more in the near future. Need multizone supprt, integration with Alexa/Google and play music via Bluetooth, YouTube and Spotify. TIA [link] [comments] | ||

| Smart Locks and Rechargeable Batteries Posted: 16 Apr 2020 10:31 AM PDT I am narrowing down my choices to get a smart lock between Yale Assure (the one with key) and the August Lock Pro. Technically, they're almost the same although I am leaning more on the Yale since I can have the touch screen num pad just in case (plus it looks sexy). Although since both uses August technology, they have an issue with the usage of rechargeable batteries as they go down below the 1.5V requirement over time. I just find it expensive and wasteful to dispose non rechargeable batteries over time so this is just one of my concerns. My question is, what would you recommend that is kinda on par (or better) than the Yale Assure or August Lock Pro? [link] [comments] | ||
| Lutron Caseta Pico Remotes into HomeKit? Posted: 16 Apr 2020 09:24 AM PDT I have a bunch of caseta remotes, and I'd love to get them into HomeKit. Specifically to triggers scenes with the favorite button. Does anyone know of a way to do this? [link] [comments] | ||
| Looking for a SIMPLE "alarm system" that gives a chime when someone approaches my room Posted: 16 Apr 2020 05:18 AM PDT The title basically says it all. I need something very simple that notifies me when someone is about to enter my room. I already use a Hue System thus a visual "alarm" would be possible as well. (Maybe with the Hue Light Sensor - Idk how customizable that is tho) I just want it to be simple and cheap. Nothing special needed. Thanks guys Edit: I found a solution. I will use an Echo Flex with the motions sensor hooked to an Alexa Routine that will make a chime when motion is detected. Another great thing about this method is that I can select a period of time in which the routine cannot be activated again (this way it won't trigger twice in a row when the sensor detects something multiple times).

| Is it possible to iterate over "dynamic" entities and display them? Posted: 16 Apr 2020 08:56 AM PDT One of the tabs in my Lovelace UI is for "technical" elements (monitoring status, bandwidth tests, ...). One of the elements are battery levels of devices which advertise that information. Today I manually list them as badges:
I would like to simplify this setup by iterating over entities Is there a way to do that? (badges would be nice but this is not a must, I am more interested in the wildcard and iteration over it) [link] [comments] |
