| Smart switches without dimmer function? Posted: 03 May 2020 05:16 PM PDT Looking to buy smart switches for my home, but not everything needs to have a dimmer function. Things such as my front porch lighting or the vent in my bathroom. Doesn't make sense to buy a pricier switch like the ge or homeseer when I just need on/off functionality for some things.

| Best SmartLight bulbs to buy in bulk? Posted: 03 May 2020 10:24 PM PDT Trying to replace all my lights with Smartbulbs. Are there any good lightbulbs that have bulk deals right now? [link] [comments] | ||
| Use Tamper cluster / information? Posted: 03 May 2020 01:11 PM PDT For those of you using home automation + security, are you using tamper cluster information? I recently added support for device tamper information to Arcus Smart Home, but other than showing it in the device history, it's not being used for anything. Do other platforms trip the alarm if tampering is detected when the alarm is set, or send notifications? What's the norm for this information, and how useful is it? It seems that some devices lump "tamper" in along with vibration and other information since that isn't modeled separately, which could be problematic if paired in an alarm system.

| Posted: 03 May 2020 04:08 PM PDT I've got a ceiling fan that is controlled via a remote. Does anyone make a universal smart remote for a fan? Maybe something like a transmitter that I can plug into an outlet and have it send the remote signals to the fan that is able to connect to Smartthings or Amazon Alexa? [link] [comments] | ||

| Magic home controller no longer working with new router Posted: 03 May 2020 01:03 PM PDT Recently our router got changed because we switched ISP. Before the new router I could use my magic home controller without any problems using the Magic Home Pro app. Now the app just keeps trying to connect to the controller and will eventually say "Connection failed". I have tried to reset the controller multiple times now without any success. After re-adding it to the app, it will work for maybe 10 seconds, after that it just fails again. I have also tried disabling the 5-GHz frequency on the router and disabling the mobile data on my phone as I have seen these fixes before, however for me they don't do anything. If I look at the devices connected to the router I can see the controller in the list. So I really don't know anymore why it would not be available. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 03 May 2020 04:46 PM PDT Hi everyone I'm looking for a speaker that I can put outside which I can add to an Alexa speaker group. I'd prefer it be a portable speaker but I could do wireless as well. [link] [comments] | ||
| Which robot vacuum for smallish one bedroom apartment with a cat? Posted: 03 May 2020 02:41 AM PDT My budget is up to £500 - the less the better tbh. I have laminate flooring in the living room, Lino in the kitchen and bathroom and thin carpet in the bedroom. There are a lot of tight spaces. I was thinking the Roborock S5 Max, as it seems to be one of the best and has the mop feature. But it might be overkill and I don't know how it would cope with some of the right spaces. Maybe a Neato would be better because of the shape? UPDATE: I ended up going with the S5 Max. It seemed to get pretty good reviews all round, and the mop function is supposedly better than the S5.

| Dimmer or on/off switch for dumb lights Posted: 03 May 2020 04:23 PM PDT I am planning to make my new apartment smart. Its the first time I jump into this so I'm definitely new to home automation. I wanted my master bathroom ceiling lights to turn on at full brightness throughout the day, and then an accent lightstrip at low brightness beneath the sink for late night bathroom runs (both dumb lights). I'm planning to put both lights on different smart switches and have a motion sensor at the door running time automations. My question is, can I use an on/off switch for the lightstrip bearing that ill have the automation at lower brightness through the homekit app, or will I need to invest in a dimmer switch. Keep in mind I don't intend to adjust the brightness through the switch itself. I just want everything running automatically through a schedule [link] [comments] | ||
| Any 240V smart sprinkler controllers? Posted: 03 May 2020 04:10 PM PDT My current controller is about to go and I'd like to replace it with a smart one if possible. But it's a 240V setup with the 240v going to the sprinkler controller and then to the water pump. Do I have any options here? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 03 May 2020 12:20 PM PDT I am curious what people are using for your main media player. I currently have a couple of fire sticks but there are a few things that the fire sticks don't do that I used to do with my kodi installs and my kodi installs couldn't do some things that the firestick does. Pros - FireStick Cons Firestick When i used my kodi devices as my primary option, i used to have pop up notifications for certain things. My surveillance system after a certain time when motion was detected on certain cameras i had the surveillance camera add on pop up the camera in the corner of my screen so i can could see what's going on. But the biggest problem with Kodi was the no netflix, amazon. I know there are some hacks, but don't want it to be a hassle for everyone else in the house. Any recommendations? options?

| What do I need as a security system for new construction? Posted: 03 May 2020 04:06 PM PDT Might build a house in the country outside of a small city with average to low crime. I don't think we'll be intruded upon in our whole lives, but I would like to prepare. I know I can get sensors everywhere and active monitoring and 80 cameras and 6 attack dogs, but I'm wondering what is practical, typical, or perhaps even economical. I don't know anything about home security so I'm hoping someone can perhaps give me some guidance and recommend what sort of system would be sufficient. [link] [comments] | ||
| Issue with Google Home integration with ADT Pulse security system Posted: 03 May 2020 03:23 PM PDT I successfully linked our ADT Pulse security system with Google Home a few months ago. I can normally use voice commands and/or a routine to arm or disarm the system. When first setting up the integration, you can choose a security code that will be used when disarming the system. This security code does not have to be the primary code for the security system. When disarming the system, the Google Home device asks for the security code and then disarms the security panel. After several months of the system working as expected, now when I try to disarm the system it has stopped recognizing the security code. It seems like the Google Home device loses context after asking for the security code. It either says "I found several locations related to XXXX" (security code), or it says "I'm not sure how to help with that". I have tried unlinking ADT Pulse and setting it up again (using different codes) a couple of times with no luck. I am still able to arm the security panel via Google Home (arming doesn't require a security code). Has anybody else experienced this strange behavior? If so, any ideas on what the issue might be?

| Filtrete Smart Filters - Any experience? Posted: 03 May 2020 06:25 AM PDT I was about to place an order for HVAC filters and stumbled upon the 3M Filtrete Smart Filters. A quick search only yielded one other post on here from last year. I'm curious if anybody has any experience with these now. Pros? Cons? Is it really a sensor they attach to the filter, or just a big timer with a Bluetooth chip attached to it? Any issues getting the filter to fit into HVAC units with the added bulk of the sensor? Thank you! [link] [comments] | ||
| Front door wifi lock that has Google home/assistant compatibility. Posted: 03 May 2020 04:25 AM PDT So I have the wyze lock on my indoor garage door and I like it very much. However I am looking for something for my front door that has a keypad and is wifi compatible. And something that looks nicer. I also want Google home/assistant compatibility. Just want some suggestions. Thanks in advance! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 03 May 2020 09:20 AM PDT I currently have SmartThings for locks, switches, and a few sensors. I'm looking to set up some temperature sensors throughout the house for supply/return temperature on the forced air ductwork. The idea is to keep track of the performance of the system a little bit - especially the A/C which for the last several years has required recharging the refrigerant. I have no problem doing this via probes and automation at a lower level, but would like it to eventually get into SmartThings or some other IOT gateway / portal. Any thoughts on this?

| Posted: 03 May 2020 06:20 AM PDT Hello, I am new to this arena and I have been looking for motorized shades for my new home. I reached out to a company and they recommended Rollease shades. I haven't seen much talk about them on here. Does anyone have any experience with them? I stumbled across Somfy through research and wanting arched shaped windows covered. It was the only option I had in mind. The person I spoke to mentioned that Somfy is about to release Zigbee motor. I am not sure if that is an upgrade? I'm looking to hear your experiences with either one. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Trouble adding Lutron Caseta Dimmers (Long!) Posted: 03 May 2020 05:13 AM PDT Hi all - Lutron customer service is stumped, so I'm turning to the experts here. I recently moved into a new (100+ year old) house and had four Lutron Caseta dimmers installed on the second floor after they pulled out the old knob and tube wiring. After they were installed, I installed the Smart Bridge and was able to add each of the dimmers via the app. Yesterday, I installed two additional dimmers. Here's where the fun begins. I walked through all of this with the Lutron CS rep.
Other info:
Lutron is sending a new smart hub but isn't convinced that its the issue. Has anyone seen this? Suggestions? I'm open to trying anything while I wait for the new bridge. [link] [comments] | ||
