Home Automation Ok, which one of you did this? |
- Ok, which one of you did this?
- I spent the last 2 years working on my startup to create a smart home inventory app that lets you ask google about "dumb" things in your house. Here is my promo video. It's available on Android, iOS, and at housebook.io. It's been really hard, but i'm hoping it becomes the next thing in smart homes!

| Charting attic temp over time? Posted: 16 Jul 2020 08:06 PM PDT Hey all. I figure this is a good community that has enough experience to chime in on what devices/setup I need to accomplish this goal... Looking for some battery powered temperature sensors in combination with a hub that will take samples over time to collect some data related to air temps in parts of my attic. I'm comfortable with Rasberry pis and microcontrollers if there is some open source software I can run in conjunction with some wireless sensors. The biggest thing I want is a setup that can just collect data unattended for like a year. Then I can query the data to find highest readings and see readings over the course of the day, etc. thanks in advance for any input! [link] [comments] | ||
| Is there any alternative to Harmony for controlling "dumb" IR TVs? Posted: 16 Jul 2020 11:46 PM PDT So I am tearing my hair out over my stupid Logitech Harmony Hub.
I am just sick and tired of dealing with it. Every time I try to look up alternatives, I just see Z-Wave to IR hubs which are sold out (which is a shame, since I have a Raspberry Pi and a USB Z-Wave dongle I haven't ever had a chance to use)... and then the next thing people suggest is "Have you tried Logitech Harmony?" I'm sorry if I sound frustrated. It's because I am. I hate this stupid thing more and more every time I have to add or change a device on it. Does anyone have any suggestions for alternatives?

| Help/advice required for building my first smart home Posted: 16 Jul 2020 05:28 PM PDT I have just bought my first house and want to take the opportunity to finally put together a smart home ecosystem. I've been reading about various products online but would love some feedback and advice from this community given my goals and situation. I'm based in Australia, so this may affect some access to products and their prices. My current hardware being used in my little one bedroom flat:
My goals/ambitions for the new double storey, 3-bedroom house:
And of course I'm welcome to any other suggestions on how to create an awesome smart home! I also need to purchase a Wi-Fi router so if there is one that will be better suited due to connectivity etc, please let me know! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 16 Jul 2020 10:46 PM PDT I have an old AC that can be recognized by Alexa (and it's own proprietary app that integrate with other apps). I also have a Roborock S5 that can also only be recognized by Alexa (and it's own proprietary app that also does not integrate with other apps). Is there some way that I can use IFTTT or any other app to interact with the devices recognized by Alexa so that I can have the AC and S5 interact with other smart devices? I tried creating a routine in Alexa but when I go to New Routine --> When this happens --> Smart Home none of my smart devices appear there! (They only appear under "Devices" in Alexa).

| Posted: 16 Jul 2020 09:35 PM PDT Pre warning - this probably isn't home automation related, but I figured this was the best group to come to to point me in the right direction. Just did the adult-ish thing, and am having a house built. Should be done in ~3 weeks. In my infinite wisdom, my office, where I work remotely from, full time, has zero windows. From previous experience, I'm something of a grumpy shit when I don't have some sunlight. I have three light fixtures in the office. I'm looking to see if there is some type of artificial light that I can put up in place of the current light fixtures, that might mimic sunlight. Any suggestions are welcome, as long as they don't remind me I'm an idiot for not having them put at least 1 window in my office. Also, I just looked at the rules for this group...what is a Karma Whore? [link] [comments] | ||
| What's your favorite hackable ESP dimmer? Posted: 16 Jul 2020 08:28 AM PDT What's your favorite ESP8266/ESP32 dimmer? I've got a 100 year old house without neutrals, but I ran the wiring to my dining room fixture through the attic to a closet where I can connect a regular dimmer. Ideally, it would be a panel mount or DIN rail mount, but not a requirement. The current dimmer I have has very poor dimming control and I want to get smoother control for the dimmable LED candelabra lights in my chandelier. [link] [comments] | ||
| Syncing seperate Kogan RGB LED strip lights Posted: 16 Jul 2020 07:05 PM PDT Is there any way to sync two seperate LED strips without a connection point. Can you do it in the smarterhome app? [link] [comments] | ||
| Aqara Cube - side as a condition Posted: 16 Jul 2020 06:59 PM PDT I wonder if anyone can help me here. I have an Aqara/Xiaomi cube connected to Home Assistant via deCONZ. I have setup rotations (L/R) to control volume on my media hub, but I want to restrict this to function only when a certain side is 'up'. I can't figure this out via either HA automations or NodeRed...any ideas? The events I get from deCONZ for rotate are the only events that don't include a side like the rotation or tap events do.

| August App missing Auto Unlock Posted: 16 Jul 2020 05:07 PM PDT My August app is all of a sudden completely missing the settings for Auto-unlock. That option is just not in the app now. Auto lock, door ajar timing, and doorsense are all still there. [link] [comments] | ||
| Any reason to use HomeAssistant geofencing over thermostats own app? Posted: 16 Jul 2020 01:20 PM PDT Aside from either putting it all in one app, or the ability to trigger additional automations is there any benefit to using Home Assistant over the Honeywell Home app? Will either work better than the other for this purpose? Mainly Id just like to not cool an empty house and the automation to put it back when i get home. [link] [comments] | ||
| Anyway to integrate a live map tracker that my childs school posts in a whatsapp group everyday. Posted: 16 Jul 2020 01:15 PM PDT Basically my childs school has the driver share a tracker to whatsapp every time he starts a bus route. It would be amazing if I can get that integration into my Home Assistant and get notified when its near my home... [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 16 Jul 2020 04:04 PM PDT I have a 4-speed (off, high, medium, low) knob-style Fan Control switch that I'd like to automate. I'd prefer Zwave, but honestly, at this point, I'll take what I can get. I've found plenty of the Decora-style options, but the Decora look and its big paddles don't really fit my house's decor and will have a low SAF (spousal approval factor) if installed. Any options?

| Posted: 16 Jul 2020 03:05 PM PDT hello. I've already set up a single-pole smart dimmer using TP-Link Kasa HS220. However, there's another dimmer which I want to make smart. The only difference is that this dimmer is a 3-way switch, so it's controlled by 2 different locations. Right now, both switches are toggles (we replaced the light itself with a dimmable light, which is why I want to install the dimmer switch). I'm a little confused on what I need to get, though. I read that for 3-way dimmers (in general, not smart), you only install the dimmer switch for ONE of the switches, while the other one you leave as a non-dimmer. So, if I want to install a smart dimmer switch on a 3-way, what do I need to do with the second, non-dimmer switch? Can I leave it as it is (keep the non-smart toggle)? Do I need to replace it with a smart non-dimmer 3-way switch? Or something else? I'd rather keep the non-smart 3-way toggle for the secondary, but if not, pls let me know what I need to replace it with. thank you (also, I don't care what brand. I just need to know what type I need to install for the secondary, if any) [link] [comments] | ||

| Hyperion NG + Android grabber help Posted: 16 Jul 2020 02:51 PM PDT I can't find the right setup in Hyperion NG (alpha 6 pré release) to acquire data from Android grabber 😕. Things were OK with Hyperion (not NG) 😁 Is there anyone for sharing his/her config or maybe Hyperion NG is not yet ready for Android grabber ? Thanks for hints 👍 [link] [comments] | ||
| Sync Sylvania Smart+ Wifi bulbs with music? Posted: 16 Jul 2020 02:11 PM PDT I have 4 Sylvania Smart+ Wifi bulbs just wondering if it is possible to sync them with music so they pulse with the beats? I'm using Google Home to control the lights via the Sylvania Smart Wifi app. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 16 Jul 2020 02:06 PM PDT I have a problem with the new gateway 3 after deleting all my devices from mi home app and having reset the getaway by pressing the button for 10 seconds, the yellow color remains on. I tried to disconnect then reconnect and it comes down to the same thing. the yellow light turns on as soon as I plug in i don't understand why? anyone have a solution? Thanks [link] [comments] | ||
| Changing thermostat based on indoor humidity Posted: 16 Jul 2020 10:19 AM PDT So one of the things I notice is that my family doesnt keep the same temp in the house because they feel warmer and colder based on the humidity level in the house. So, wouldnt there be a simple way to change the smart thermostat based on humidity levels. Im using DIY stuff along with Home Assistant but I didnt see this type of control in climate template. Is this something anyone has implemented yet? [link] [comments] | ||
| Smart lock for composite door with bar handle Posted: 16 Jul 2020 01:39 PM PDT I've been searching a while for this but can't seem to find any suitable locks. I had a composite door (Rockdoor) fitted recently. It doesn't have a traditional handle, but instead it is operated with the key only (or the thumb turn on the inside). When the door is closed, it latches and cannot be opened from the outside without turning the key. You can also apply the multipoint lock by turning the key a number of times. To open you just turn in the opposite direction. I cannot screw anything to the door and there is no handle to replace. I can only see replacing the lock cylinder or attaching something to the thub turn as an option. Any ideas for a suitable smart lock? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 16 Jul 2020 01:21 PM PDT Hi all, new construction home just framed and wondering if anyone has tips on a super clean install detail for 16/2 termination at each window frame. I was thinking of perhaps a female DC power jack in each frame where we could just plug in the blinds when we install them at a later date - but can't find any examples or specs on this. Looking at Graber/Bali blinds, inside mount with a drywall return. Would love some guidance or clean install photos! Thank you in advance! [link] [comments] | ||
| Need help with setting up a few automations (uk) Posted: 16 Jul 2020 01:06 PM PDT So I have a caravan which works of 240v when stationary and 12v when mobile. I want to wire up a 4 channel automation system which can be phone controlled. However I need something that can control 3x 240v AC and 1x 12v DC. I'm struggling to find a system that can do this for me. I have wired up standard mains voltage automation system before but struggling with this as it need to have AC & DC relays/switches. It also needs to be phone controlled (smart) as one will be heating controls which is actually 12Volts and I want to enable this before arriving. [link] [comments] |
