| Stepper Motor Controller, anything dumber than an Arduino that will still get this done? Posted: 23 Nov 2020 09:22 AM PST Looking at a project that requires a stepper motor to control a lead screw (pretty simple 0% - 100%). The plan was to control it with an arduino, but was wondering if there was anything out there even dumber than an arduino that would work for this? Only catch is that it preferably be zwave, and at the worst wifi. Any ideas, or is an ardino still the way to go? Thanks. [link] [comments] | ||
| Will Harmony Hub (no remote) enable me to start projector (Epon 2150) and lower EliteScreen? Posted: 23 Nov 2020 10:00 AM PST Is Harmony Hub without a remote the answer for automating my set up? Currently need to turn on the projector with one remote and lower the projector with another remote. Epson Home Cinema 2150 projector Elite Screens ELECTRIC100H motorized screen It seems like Harmony Hub (no remote) is compatible with these devices. Could this be a solution? Would I maybe also need an IR blaster or an entirely different Harmony Hub productm Thanks in advance. Happy to provide additional info. [link] [comments] | ||

| Z-Wave Hub working with unstable internet? Posted: 23 Nov 2020 10:19 PM PST Hello. This is my first time considering a smart hub, as I've got barely any smart appliances. My internet connection drops at random times, and sometimes I even have to reset the router for it to work again. Is there a hub that would work with my Philips Hue/Yeelight, vacuum (Roborock S5), Google Nest Mini(?), and smartlock (z wave) even if the internet is down? My main concern is that all my smart appliances also reset every time I have to reset my router... I've seen people recommending Hubitat for my use, but that's not available in my country (Norway) so I didn't look far into that option yet. Extra question; anyone knows if the Mill Wifi heaters also can be connected to smart hubs? https://www.millheat.com/mill-wifi/av600wifi I thank you for every suggestion I might get :) [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 23 Nov 2020 10:18 AM PST I have a Lefant robot vacuum that can only run with Alexa or over Wi-Fi with 2.4gHz. My modem is 2.4ghZ and 5gHz under the same name. Any one any ideas on how to get the vacuum responding to work in my routines. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 23 Nov 2020 08:38 AM PST I am looking for a doggy door and/or treat dispenser that I can tie into home assistant or hubitat or google home. What I am hoping to do is have a routine set where the lights flash and a tone plays and then the treat dispenser starts giving out treats. I can train my dogs that when they hear/see the alerts that the treats will start coming. Then further I need a doggy door that I can lock with an automation as well. (some of them will let you lock in a single direction which would be even better.) The big goals here are to be able to bring them inside whenever our gate opens, if my cameras detect barking after a certain time of night, or if I know there is going to be someone working in the yard for some reason. Additionally I'd like to be able to lock the dog door from one of sides if the gate is open. The really big thing is that I want to be able to unlock the door if a smoke alarm goes off. I have never bought any of these so looking to just get a little bit of feedback from anyone with experience with any of these devices. [link] [comments] | ||
| Please Help! Independently control multiple lights from one switch. Posted: 23 Nov 2020 08:57 PM PST Hello fellow enthusiasts! In my kitchen I have one wall switch that originally ran to a single florescent light. Many years ago a junction box was installed behind the florescent light and new wiring was added to ceiling boxes 6 ft from each end of the florescent fixture and track lighting was installed on those ceiling boxes. For the past 9 years the one switch has turned on the florescent light and the two sets of track lighting. Ideally I am looking for a way to control each of the three groups of lights independently without trying to run new wiring down the wall. However, I would be happy if I could at least control the florescent light independently of the other two. I would like some type of physical switch to turn them on and off and I would prefer they integrate with SmartThings so I can control them from my phone/Google Home/Alexa. If I needed to keep a dumb switch to turn them all on or all off that would be fine as long as I had voice control to turn them on/off independently. I have searched the internet multiple times over the past year and can't seem to find what I'm looking for, or I'm just not looking for the right thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

| Looking to Automate Turning Room Heater On/Off based on Room Temperature Posted: 23 Nov 2020 09:35 AM PST I am using a device called Sensibo to make my dumb ACs smart. Apart from the usual features Sensibo also has a temperature sensor which comes in very handy to automate controlling of room temperature. I also have a dumb oil heater that I am planning to power using a smart plug. Is there a way to automate the heater to turn onm/off based on the room temperature that is being detected by Sensibo's temperature sensor? [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 23 Nov 2020 07:51 AM PST Over the past year or so, I've been trying to find a way on how to make my existing under bench lights smart other than putting in a 'Sonoff'. I wasn't sure what was already installed and just found out its this: https://www.johnlewis.com/sensio-viva-led-flexible-light-strip-starter-pack-2m-warm-white/p3635569 Anyone have any ideas to make these smart? Inc (but not a must) dimming? Maybe this? https://www.amazon.co.uk/24V-30W-Smart-LED-Driver/dp/B08J57WG3V/ref=sr_1_11?dchild=1&keywords=Sensio+led&qid=1606146960&sr=8-11 Could this be flashed to Tas or ESPHome?

| Flair Puck or other ways to control multiple mini splits? Posted: 23 Nov 2020 10:03 AM PST Looking for a 2020 update. Has anyone installed a Flair Puck with a Mini Split? I am leaning towards that for the ecobee integration to keep the mini split mirroring my ecoBee's settings. I intend to connect it to SmartThings, as well. [link] [comments] | ||
| Amcrest Doorbell WiFi Connectivity Issues Posted: 23 Nov 2020 07:40 PM PST My video stream for my Amcrest Doorbell disconnects randomly, or is extremely laggy, sometimes failing to connect and display the stream at all. The wireless access point is sitting only a few feet away from the AP with no other devices connected. I don't know what else I can do to appease this device, it's never a smooth connection. I have tried it on my Orbi, and I have also given it a dedicated 2.4Ghz (that's all it supports) AP. Any thoughts? [link] [comments] | ||
| Purchase check, looking at getting a behind lightswitch WIFI/Zigbee Dimmer Posted: 23 Nov 2020 11:31 AM PST Hi, I'm looking into getting a couple of these, I haven't decided on WIFI or Zigbee version yet but leaning to WIFI as it will be virtually next to the router and I have Hive heating and I don't think the hub is compatible. I think I have checked everything but wanted to double check before I purchase. I will need at least 2 for a 4 gang switch split into 3 gang dimmer and 1 gang (I think 2 way switch). I'm in a new build so has a neutral wire. I have these lights which are 7w each and the most on one switch is 6 so that is under the 100w limit am I missing anything here or are my assumptions correct? I assume can't wire up the on/off switch to the dimmer box, is this correct? I'm not worried about connecting the switch if not as it's not a light I use often (if at all). Am I missing anything or have a covered all my bases and good to go? Thanks! Edit: I'm in the UK if that makes any difference. [link] [comments] | ||

| Posted: 23 Nov 2020 06:05 PM PST Any way to set up a tape light under a vanity that turns on from motion? I thought it would be a nice way to have a nightlight in the bathroom and have the opportunity to do it now, but unsure if anyone has something similar they can give me some tips on it.

| Posted: 23 Nov 2020 08:20 AM PST So I wanted to purchase a smart thermostat and was looking at the Nest E. However I'm unsure if it will work in my house. I live in a two family house I rent upstairs and there is another tenant living downstairs. We each have our own thermostat but split the heating/AC bill. Would the Nest E work? Sorry still new to having my own place and learning as I go. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||

| Everything Z wave for unity or fancier WiFi (thermostat, doorbell, garage) Posted: 23 Nov 2020 07:09 AM PST Hello, I'm planning on outfitting my house with a Qolsys IQ panel 2+ and thought it would be ideal to have everything controlled through one app and my panel. The problem I'm running into is that the best devices for thermostats and door bells seem to be wifi. I'm looking at the Eufy 2K bell and the Ecobee or Nest thermostat. Does anyone have a z wave doorbell or thermostat and have some input on it? I think the main advantage besides app unity is the complex scenes I can create. I'd like to have my security system be able to turn down the HVAC when I leave and arm the system. It would be nice to use my IQ panel for doorbell display too instead of having to pull my phone out. Another device I'm considering is the garage door opener. Chamberlain has the WiFi MyQ, or there is a zwave controller I could wire to a regular dumb opener. I could never get MyQ to work at my current place and you need good WiFi in your garage. I get geofencing with a z wave thermostat. The main smart feature I want that is on the Nest is the weather detection. I think the Alarm.com control can maybe check the weather and adjust a z wave thermostat but I have found any confirmation of this. Basically do I get the fanciest device (that is wifi) and end up fragmenting my system. Trying to see if features out weigh the connectivity. [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 23 Nov 2020 06:25 AM PST Hey all, I'm looking for an RGB and VW lightbulb, preferably Z Wave that I can use for my bedrooms lamp. Ideally I would like to be able to turn the light on via my smart apps but also be able to use the on/off switch on the lamp itself as a fallback. So I would need a light that won't lose it's connection when we turn the lamp off and also will automatically re-sync with the rest of the network when it's turned off and will revert to last state. Currently, I use smart switch that basically just toggles the light on/off, but when the switch is toggled off, I can't manually turn the light bulb on. I don't love this because it removes some of the functionality that the non-smart solution had. Any help would be greatly n1 appreciated.! [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 23 Nov 2020 11:30 AM PST I was going to start comparing robot vacuums, but there are so many, I don't know how to sort them all out. Most importantly, My biggest concern is pet vomit and liquids. My cat tends to vomit liquid/food if he eats too fast and I don't want vomit smeared everywhere, I'd rather it be ignored at the least. Second, all this pet hair. I just rescued 2 cats for a total of 4 now, and my apartment is covered in cat hair webs. Also, my hair is about 36 inches long, so that hair too. My house is generally clean, except the floors; which are tile, area rugs and bathroom rugs. If I sweep, it tosses all the hair up for it to float around. Otherwise, besides hair, my floors include a good amount of kitty litter, cat toys and shoe laces. When using a standard cheap upright vacuum, I can get about 70% of the hair out of the rugs. When I use a dyson vacuum on high suction, it removes about 99% of the hair from my carpets and comforter. Basically, I'd like the hair and litter to be removed, pet vomit to stay and it's important that it actually cleans all of my floors vs just bumping into things and winging it or leaving patches behind. If you feel a robot vacuum may not be for me, I would appreciate that recommendation as well, and I will simply get a nicer upright vacuum that treats carpet and tile floors and can be used on a comforter. Thank you! [link] [comments] | ||
| Question about the Nuki Smartlock Opener Posted: 23 Nov 2020 04:35 PM PST Hey guys, I have a question about the nuki opener. I live in a rent apartment and wanted to use the opener, but I don't have a speaking system (you know, the thing where you can talk through when someone rings the door) but only a switch that I can press to open the door (looks like a light switch). Can I still use the nuki opener and if yes how do I connect it to my door opener switch? [link] [comments] |
