| Quolsys IQ Panel 2 - Can you control it and/or it's z-wave devices with a smart phone or tablet? Posted: 29 Jul 2020 08:11 PM PDT I recently bought a new home and it came with this panel installed along with z-wave plus devices including a thermostat, doorbell, garage door, etc. I've connected all the devices to the panel but can't seem to find a way to control things using my phone. I know the panel uses Alarm.com service and they have an app but I don't want to get alarm service just to automate my other devices. Is there an app available where I can do this or somehow link everything to my Google Home? [link] [comments] | ||
| Please help me keep dogs off the lawn Posted: 29 Jul 2020 02:04 PM PDT So my neighbors dog keeps getting out and this jerk walks over and takes a crap in my yard. This seems to happen every few days. I already talk to the owners but they seem like very lazy people and I don't want to hurt the dog with chili powder. Is there a way to have my Arlo camera trigger my orbit b-hyve water sprinklers. There is a command for Alexa if I verbally say "Alexa, ask b-hyve to turn in station 2 for 2 minutes" but I can't find a way for the motion detection to trigger a verbal command like that.

| Posted: 29 Jul 2020 08:04 PM PDT Hi guys, I have the broadlink app (not ihc or e-control) installed in iphone and android phone. Lately only my iphone has given me Broadlink notifications and not the android phone. I set a routine on my door sensor (s2) to notify me when it is open at a certain time period. Anyone facing notification issues? [link] [comments] | ||

| Wirelessly Connecting Smart TV to Hard Drive? Posted: 29 Jul 2020 07:37 PM PDT I'm not sure if this is the right sub (if not could you point me in the right direction?), but my wife and I are looking to connect our smart TV to our external hard drive, which houses our movie collection, using a wireless USB. Do you have any recommendations on good devices to do this with? [link] [comments] | ||
| #YASQ yet another Shelly question - detached mode with normally closed push button? Posted: 29 Jul 2020 07:30 PM PDT Here's my situation, in a country that hates neutral wiring to switches, got a couple of shellys to fix all the worlds problems (COVID, famine, poverty, and lack of neutral wires)... The idea was that I would shove the shellys in behind the light fixture, which I know will work, that's cool - but the problem with this situation is that my OCD now gets triggered by the fact that the light switch could be in an up or down state and that might be either on or off depending on if you changed the light using the switch or changed the light using an app. So I want to use a push button switch, mainly a normally open push button switch, to trigger the Shelly. So you push the button and it changes the Shelly state (Shelly would need to detect the LOW->HIGH->LOW state change as wanting to change the light). Is this a possible switch mode? Is this also a possible switch mode in a detached state for smart globes like hue? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 29 Jul 2020 07:01 PM PDT So, doing a multi-stage unit in new house for Nest installation. Ended up with a proprietary unit, here's what the wiring and models look like: https://imgur.com/a/DeqadLJ I did the compatibility checker with google, it seems to be compatible but ABCDE is proprietary to me. I am assuming the following based on previous experience with Lennox units:
There's no green wires for fans, I am assuming common wire or Red gets handled like this. For the MPB multistages, I've see Nests installed before so I am not sure what I am missing here. It's a brand new home build with new lennox install - anyone with insight care to help? [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 29 Jul 2020 06:03 PM PDT Does anyone know of an zwave Open/Close sensor with dry contact sensors that is able to be powered via a wall outlet? I'm redoing my garage door sensors and would like to get away from battery powered sensors if possible. Edit: Forgot to add that I'm looking for a zwave sensor. [link] [comments] | ||

| Prewiring for blind automation - 3.5mm TRRS jacks for PWM or RS-485. Thoughts? Posted: 29 Jul 2020 05:37 PM PDT I'm replacing some windows, which presents the opportunity to run wires through a large swath of wall with minimal destruction. I'm looking for some input on wires to run before it's too late and some feedback on my thoughts so far. This is my first automation endeavor! I'd like to automate the 6 blinds in one room. I thinking of running CAT5 cabling that terminates at a 3.5mm TRRS plug at the window jambs. 3.5mm TRRS because it would look the cleanest for a wire connection through the side of the window extension jambs. RJ-45 would be ugly and an eyesore if I ever decided to get rid of the blinds. 4 conductors is just the right number for RS-485, but if I do PWM I'd drop it down to TRS. CAT5 because it's plentiful. I'd use one pair for 12v, one pair for ground, and 1 or 2 pairs for communication. I think I'd like to not do home runs from each window, so for communication I'm thinking of either sending a raw PWM signal to all the blinds, or using RS-485 and putting some sort of a microcontroller at each blind. The motor would just be a servo coupled to the tilt rod. There's a complexity on the control side, if I did continuous servos then all of them would need to be perfectly in sync, if I did positional servos I'd need a high torque servo that could do 360 degrees (slim pickings). I'd love to have just the servo in the blind with PWM, but with the constraints I just mentioned, I fear I'll need some control and feedback at each blind - especially for calibration. Thoughts? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Newbie here. Rate my setup and point out any flaws! Posted: 29 Jul 2020 05:22 PM PDT I'm just getting started with this so any feedback is appreciated. Ecobee Smart thermostat. Tailwind garage opener 2 c by GE lights 1 Google Home light (I forget what it actually is, got it from reddit secret Santa) I just bought the X95H Sony TV. Not sure if this gets connected too? Onkyo receiver. Not sure if this connects too? Thinking Google nest max too. Any issues with what I've picked? Any suggestions for more stuff? I'm buying a Tesla Model Y soon too, anything that connects with that? [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 29 Jul 2020 10:54 AM PDT I have a Clearlight (jacuzzi) premier IS-1 model sauna. https://infraredsauna.com/premier-is-1-far-infrared-sauna/ Some of the other models have Wifi control options but this model doesn't. It's controlled from touchpads on the inside and outside of the sauna. I've searched far and wide for ideas on how to turn it on remotely with no luck. Does anyone have any ideas on how I can do it? I only need to turn it on to heat up before I use it. Thanks!!! [link] [comments] | ||
| Simple Door Sensor to trigger smart things Posted: 29 Jul 2020 04:32 PM PDT I've hit a weird wall where I feel like I must be looking at this the wrong way. I want to setup a simple door sensor (these are usually magnetic) and when a door opens / closes, I want to trigger a light to go on / off. I'm on the Nest ecosystem - which isn't really helpful here. Their door sensors are (1) quite expensive and (2) don't do anything other than trigger alarms / notifications. I can't find another solution that is as simple as a connection to IFTTT or an existing hubless system. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 29 Jul 2020 10:08 AM PDT At my disposal I've got an ecobee, hubitat, homebridge and iOS. It seems like this should be easy but I can't seem to find a way to do it. [link] [comments] | ||
| Zwave ceiling fan controller retrofit? Posted: 29 Jul 2020 02:07 PM PDT Is there really no retrofit controller kit to put in your ceiling fan/light to control it via zwave? This seems like a gaping hole in the market. There's no way I'm going to be able to re-wire my 1960's house to get separate light and fan wiring to zwave wall switches, but replacing the in-fixture controller box is beyond easy. I know there is an Insteon version of this but I have a budding zwave installation and was hoping to keep it all on the same system and not have to add more peripherals to my hassio/Pi. Anyone know of anything that fits the bill? [link] [comments] | ||
| Renovating the house - Smart Lights/Thermostat - What would you do? Posted: 29 Jul 2020 03:22 AM PDT Hi all, I'm going to be soon renovating the house with a full rewire/plumbing, the works. I'm looking at options for smart lights. I currently have Kasa smart bulbs, but I dislike not being able to switch the light on for a second when I run into a room to pick something up without the voice command. I'm not finding any details on the best wired smart light switches - if they do exist. Can you recommend one? I'm in the UK if that makes a difference. I'd ideally plug into Google Home as I have the Nest Thermostat. Additionally, is there anything else you would recommend to look into for someone fulling refurbing with a new rewire?

| Home Assistant: For when Google Assistant fucks up and the radio stops working. Posted: 29 Jul 2020 12:35 PM PDT Soo... today I got a complaint from my mom about how "Hey Google, spiel WDR2 Aachen und Region" ("play [radio station]", in German) won't play that radio station, but some weird ass music on Youtube. I couldn't get it to work either... Guess Google fucked up once again. Long story short, I can't seem to get it working either. So I created a virtual helper switch in Home Assistant that, when turned on, will automatically play said station from its stream URL on all kitchen & dining room speakers, and then turn itself off. The downside is that there seems to be some huge amount of buffering happening on the Chromecast devices, which makes startup take quite a while (about 30s). But that's an acceptable tradeoff for actually having working radio. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 29 Jul 2020 12:07 PM PDT I'm looking for a drive way alarm that is triggered based on magnetic field changing (to much motion out here, damn cows) and can either output to a dry contact or zwave/zigbee. I haven't found anything thus far, but my google-fu may be failing me today. [link] [comments] | ||
| Help connecting my Liftmaster garage door opener to my network. Posted: 29 Jul 2020 11:36 AM PDT It is the wifi version. It will not connect to my network. I have tried 2 different routers and neither will connect. It does see them in the app, I put in the password, & it proceeds to try and connect but it never works. [link] [comments] |
