| One TP-Link HS200 switch on 3 way circuit issues Posted: 02 Oct 2020 09:10 PM PDT Hey! I'm messing around with adding a smart switch to a three way circuit. I am using the TP-Link HS210 kit where it comes with 2. I had both switches installed and working fine.... but I read you should be able to get away with one switch and keep the other switch as the existing with no problem. Then I can use the other HS210 on another circuit. So I changed one of the switches back to original....reset the HS210 that's installed.... redid the setup....picked one switch this time. Everything works find except controlling the light through the app...you have to hit the power button twice for it to either turn on or turn off. So eventually the app thinks the light is off when it's on and vice versa. Not sure what else to try but perhaps swapping the old switch and HS210 around to see if that helps but I wanted to see if anyone thinks that is the issue before I go at it again, as it was a pain to do in the first place!!

| Doorbell camera system that DOES NOT cooperate with police or government agencies. Posted: 02 Oct 2020 02:20 PM PDT I'm looking for a multi-door doorbell camera system with wifi, managed with one app, motion detectors, and all that good shit, but with personal privacy my main concern. Locally stored data, that's easily/automatically permanently deleted, and most importantly ABSOLUTELY NO cooperation with police or other government agencies. Are there any privacy-minded devices/services out there to look into? I want to be the only person who'll ever see what my cameras see. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 02 Oct 2020 10:58 AM PDT The past few weeks I finally got into home automation and thought I would share my experience with others. I really like my privacy and wanted something with almost no lag and that wouldn't require my router, my modem, my provider, and a bunch of APIs to be up and running so I was really only looking at Hubitat and Homeseer. I chose Hubitat because of cost, their forums are very active, and they seems like they are ready to go for consumers. In a few weeks, I have set up the following: - All my outdoor lights come on at sunset at 40%. If they see motion, they go up to 100% for a couple minutes - The master bathroom now turns on lights based on motion - 100% daytime, 30% evening, 3% after 11pm. Kitchen does something similar - If the garage is open for 20 minutes, we are notified via speaker (never thought I'd even need it but I actually accidentally left the garage open the other day and was surprised when my house talked to me) - If there are people in the front yard for more than a few minutes, we also get notified - Replaced a ceiling light with a fan/light combo that is controllable via two switches that fit into 1 normal-sized rocker switch space - this switch is insane, more on it later - I replaced a hard-to-reach floor lamp with a smart bulb so instead of climbing on the couch and leaning over, I just hit a wall switch - 5 downstairs lights now automatically go dim 5 minutes before the kid's bedtime (and one turns off if it is on) - Have two (soon to be a couple more) switches show red or green notifications based on if the garage door is open. - Can see my home security cameras (UniFi) on the dashboard, control our Sonos speaker, see current temp (ecobee integration) and control all lights. Thinking about mounting a tablet with the dashboard on it. I have only been frustrated for a few minutes here and there, mostly it's been a very easy experience. My wife thought I was crazy at first but actually loves everything and is now wondering why she has to turn lights on sometimes in rooms I haven't setup automated lights. I can't say enough good things about Hubitat. I also absolutely LOVE Inovelli - they are a small company but they make insanely well-thought out products. My first experience with them was needing to control a fan and light separately, but only having one set of wires going to the ceiling. I'm obviously not going to rip out drywall to re-wire, and I found their LZW36 switch/fan relay combo. The relay mounts in the fan, and the switch then controls the fan and light separately. It also has completely customizable LED notifications, as well as something like 16 button combos you can program to do things. If I single tap the light switch, the fan light comes on. If I double tap the light switch, my hard-to-reach floor lamp comes on. If I 5 tap everything downstairs turns on or off. I liked the switch so much I bought a couple more of their Red switches - the ability to do multiple commands with them and the customizability of notifications is just crazy cool. You can tell these guys live, eat, and breathe this stuff. For those of you interested here is a list of everything I used: Hubitat GE Enbrighten smart motion dimmer by Jasco - I think these are great since you get a motion sensor and dimmer in one, there's no batteries to replace, and can set it up however you'd like (even change the setup at certain times of day) but overpriced and lacking a bit of functionality they should just be able to program into it. I wish Inovelli would make one Inovelli LZW36 Fan/Light Combo Inovelli LZW31 Switch Zooz toggle dimmer 4.0 - I'm not super impressed with these, but they are decent if you just want small toggles instead of the big rockers Zooz outdoor motion sensor ZSE29 VER 2.0 - it's just OK. I didn't play around with it too much, but even in the shade it seems to max out at 900 lux and won't detect motion - I only wanted it for evening but still a bit annoying. It also has a way to power it via wire instead of battery, but the little cable coming off it doesn't make for an easy routing through holes drilled into a wall - they should have either put the microusb connection in the battery pack replacement or made it a lot longer. Ecolink ZWave Plus Tilt Sensor (for garage) Sonos speaker At this point I've spent a few hundred, but honestly it's been way easier and more fun that I thought it would be. I'd recommend it if you have the money, and even with an hour here and there you can get a lot done. [link] [comments] | ||
| Sengled lights, linked with SmartThings, controlled by Alexa Posted: 02 Oct 2020 05:39 PM PDT Like the title states, I have Sengled lights, linked with SmartThings and controlled by Alexa. Worked perfectly, but lately my kitchen echo device was having issues with "locating" my voice in that area, so everytime I said "alexa, turn off lights" my living room device would hear and turn off living room lights. So then I had to be specific "alexa turn off kitchen lights". That worked for a few weeks, and now majority of my lights aren't seen by Alexa, but are seen in SmartThings. What is the issue? I don't remember how to get Alexa to see all my lights again. I do know Alexa is asking me to download the Sengled app then the skill, but I never had to do that before. [link] [comments] | ||
| MQTT Topics, another nOoB questsion Posted: 02 Oct 2020 03:02 PM PDT Hi all I'm running Hass on a Pi4, with a ConbeeII Bridge. I'm trying to wrap my head around NodeRed and it looks like it's better to use MQTT. Is that so ? If it is, I don't understand how/where to get the "topics". I've created a very very very basic flow with an inject to a call service to toggle on and off a Tradfi color light and 2 other similar to Dim up and down. But I don't understand how to "attach" that to a Tradfi remote (or even a single on/off switch) in NodeRed to be able to use my remote. Am I not undersanding NodeRed and MQTT at all ? :) :( [link] [comments] | ||
| iPad with iPort + POE for Power Posted: 02 Oct 2020 01:24 PM PDT Hi All, We are installing an iPad in the hallway of our new house to control of our Hikvision Cameras, Sonos and Nest Hello. I have been looking at the iPort mounts and they look very nice. I noticed that you can also get the POE kit to power the iPad via POE; however, they are rather pricey and I am worried about the future proofness of this. i.e. they deliver a max of 5V @ 2.4Amps - the new iPad Pro's already pull more than this. I am thinking simply installing a recessed power point where you can plug in the power would be a better idea. Has anyone done this, what is your experience? [link] [comments] | ||

| Any cheaper alternatives to Switchbots? Posted: 02 Oct 2020 10:56 AM PDT I'm looking for a both that I can use alexa with to turn on my PC by pressing a button. I like what the switchbot does but its pretty expensive just for that one thing. You need to buy a switchbot and a hub to get it working with alexa which really adds up in price.

| Posted: 02 Oct 2020 10:23 AM PDT I want to diy my own video doorbell, but everything I find online requires 5v and I don't want to run more wires. I just want to use the existing power (3v) that is already there. How can all these other companies sell products that do it but I can't find a single way to do it without using a 5v power adapter? Even if I just use esp01 [link] [comments] | ||
| LF recommendations: Best Zigbee plug that acts as repeater and reports power consumption? Posted: 02 Oct 2020 08:10 AM PDT I want to get some zigbee plugs to help reinforce my mesh but also want good power reporting so I can stick them on some appliances for automation based on consumption. I know there's a lot out there but I want to get quality for this. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 02 Oct 2020 09:51 AM PDT I have a RTL-SDR and I'm using it to read some sensors. The example I found uses rtl_433. I was wondering if there's a guide out there to convert the output to MQTT? This python program seems like a pretty good way to do it: Just wondering if there's any better tutorials for this? I basically have the RTL-SDR on a USB port on a raspberry pi. Is there a better/easier/cheaper setup? I've seen dedicated 433MHz transceivers but use a microcontroller (ATMEGA) instead of connected to a Pi. [link] [comments] | ||
| Smart Switch Operating Temps - Garage in Winter Posted: 02 Oct 2020 01:19 PM PDT I use Inovelli red switches throughout most of my home. I'd like to automate the garage light when opening the door from the house with a contact sensor, but the switch is in the garage. Operating temps in the switch documentation state 0 - 40 degrees Celsius. I'm in Canada, and temps outside where I live go down to -30 C. Probably not that cold in the garage where the switch is located (partially insulated) but still well below 0. Anyone have any experience with this? Doesn't have to be Inovelli if a different brand zwave switch can handle it. Or perhaps I'm just hosed, and confined to the archaic manual switch like neanderthal. [link] [comments] | ||
| TP-Link Router Control via Home Assistant! Posted: 02 Oct 2020 06:59 AM PDT There wasn't a great TP-Link control/automation integration that was open source and could actually control the router, so I decided to create my own Home Assistant integration! Top Features1. Router Power Toggle - Switch/button to restart the router 2. Enable/Disable WAN Connection - If you've got external network connection issues, you can cycle the WAN/PPPoE connection status 3. 2.4GHz/5GHz band control - Lets you enable or disable the power to the 2.4 or 5 GHz bands 4. Device Tracker - Presence tracking via the router's client connection 5. IP address Sensor - Get the IP address of a client You can go ahead and check it out on the GitHub Underlying APITP-Link doesn't exactly publish an open source API that we can work with, so I decided to write my own by reverse engineering the router's web management interface. The TP-Link C50 API currently only supports certain models and can be found here (you're welcome to contribute and add support for more models) Supported Features
It's still in its early stages and definitely a work in progress, but I'm limited to the hardware I own, so if you guys could contribute, we could help out a lot of people! Feedback is appreciated. Update: Just added a guide on how you can add support for your model [link] [comments] |
