| Posted: 08 May 2021 10:27 PM PDT Anybody using Z-Wave light bulbs out there? I've found a few (Aeotec, Enbrighten, GoControl), but all seem to be out of stock everywhere, and look suspiciously like they're being or have been end-of-lined. I'm aware of excellent Zigbee options, but the need to sprinkle Zigbee devices I don't want all over my house so the network can reach the ones I do want is a big drawback. If somebody has a decent Z-Wave option for North American frequencies, I'd love to hear about it! [link] [comments] | ||
| What is the best option for a music hub interface tablet for playback throughout the house? Posted: 08 May 2021 07:29 AM PDT I think we have everything setup fine for voice commands but my partner and I are very visual people and need an interface to hop between our streaming options and digital music library. I saw a motion sensor you can add to tablets to wake on approach, that would work I think. And a UI like Windows tiles would be a good style dashboard - but I don't know. Thank you so much. My setup:

| Best Robot Vacuum for hardwood/Carpet and Pet Hair Posted: 08 May 2021 03:25 PM PDT Hey, as the title suggests, we are looking for a robot vacuum that picks up light dog and cat hair, most importantly it needs to be hardwood safe and if it can, vacuum the area rugs we have in the same space. We are looking to buy once cry once on the price, so price doesnt matter. Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||

| Yale Assure- matching handles for oil rubbed bronze Posted: 08 May 2021 07:47 AM PDT Does anyone know of matching front door handles to the oil rubbed bronze? Does Schlage aged bronze match? Thanks! [link] [comments] | ||
| Help finding the right product? Posted: 08 May 2021 09:17 AM PDT Hi, I'm trying to find precisely the following but having trouble. A light switch that: (A) is battery or mechanically powered, ie doesn't wire into the mains; has a receiver in a junction box somewhere (B) is a regular light switch form factor. In other words is not a key fob or something (C) can also be used with Google Home / IFTTT I can find various combinations of A+B, B+C, etc but not all three in one. Help?! [link] [comments] | ||
| My SMRTLITE led light strip won’t connect to my phone Posted: 08 May 2021 08:15 PM PDT I have two SMRTlite led light strips that connect to an app on my phone through wifi, but recently they stopped working and won't connect and I can't find the device when trying to pair it with my phone. They worked for a few months before and this never happened before,and I've tried doing research and trying different things but it still doesn't work. Can anyone help me fix this issue?

| Should I get rid of Alexa? & other HA questions. Posted: 08 May 2021 08:45 AM PDT Hi, so I have a family vacation home that is around 3 hour round trip drive from where I currently live. I thought home automation would be the best way to go in order to minimize my trips there. I've dabbled in home automation, and have the following systems in place:
So because Google bought Nest, the Alexa skills associated with Nest items no longer works. I was wondering if I could hold out, or if the r/homeautomation hive mind suggests giving in and switching to a Google Home assistant. What do you think? [link] [comments] | ||
| Syncing lights through Alexa & Hue Posted: 08 May 2021 11:02 AM PDT I have an idea that I'm sure can work I'm just not exactly sure how. Can someone help? I have a bunch of smart bulbs in my basement, most but not all connected via Philips Hue, and we use Alexa speaker to verbally turn them on and off. Problem is that some people in the house the Alexa device doesn't seem to want to listen to. One of us has to almost yell at it every few times to be understood. I have a switch at the top of stairs to the basement that turns on the 1st bulb at the bottom. But there are 5-6 other bulbs that I wish would turn on too. Is there a way I could set Alexa or Hue to see when one bulb is turned on (via the switch at the top of the stairs to allow power) it then turns on the others? How would I go about syncing it as such? I want an alternative to verbally turning them on and off and I don't want to buy & install a smart switch. Thoughts? [link] [comments] | ||
| Motion- and ambient light-activated lights or switches? Posted: 08 May 2021 07:07 PM PDT I have a staircase with wall sconces that I'd love to automate to turn on by motion, but to NOT turn on if the ambient light level is high. There's a skylight above it, so it's bright a lot of the day. Bonus points if I can control the light level eg. only light dim between certain hours. Sorry if this is out there but I couldn't find anything like this. I use HomeKit and Alexa already, and am comfortable with Homebridge if needed. Thanks for any clues! [link] [comments] | ||
| Hue Motion Sensor and Lutron Caseta Posted: 08 May 2021 06:35 PM PDT I have a few Lutron Caseta dimmers and am interested in getting motion sensors. Do the Hue Motion Sensors work with Lutron? IE can I set up a program that if I walk downstairs between 1-7 am the lights turn on to dimmest setting? [link] [comments] | ||
| Home Security with Google Nest Posted: 08 May 2021 06:03 PM PDT Hey Guys, new homebuyer here and I am kinda big on making sure my family is safe. We live in an area that is pretty quiet, doesn't have alot of crime, and my neighbors are great so I'm really just wanting something to give me a little peace of mind. I currently have the google assistant in my home in the form of Google Home Minis. I plan on purchasing a Google Nest Hub and a smart thermostat (my electric company will give me a rebate for installing one so yay), so I figure I'd stick with the google theme and keep it going. I did some searching and found that Google doesn't necessarily have a home security system, so I would have to find one that would be compatible with Nest. What do you guys have?

| Where to find ultrasonic flow meters for home water supply monitoring? Posted: 08 May 2021 01:27 PM PDT Some recent posts have discussed using cheap turbine + hall effect sensor (aliexpress) flow meters to measure home water usage but they do look a bit, well, janky. I believe that ultrasonic meters are more likely to be used for accurate commercial work but I can't find any that might be intergrated with home automation. The hero labs sonic looks like it has potential, but also to be a nasty cloud only job. Any thoughts? Suggestions? [link] [comments] | ||
| Alternative software for eWelink? Posted: 08 May 2021 03:20 PM PDT Im planning to buy a Sonoff smart light switch(TX Series) but i dont want to use the recommended app called eWelink since it asks for my phone number. i read somewhere that sonoff is based on Zigbee so is/are there another app that is compatible with sonoff? the most important function for me is to schedule to turn on/off the switch since i will be using this for my water heater. edit: does this switch need a bridge much like tradfri hub?

| Yale keyless smart lock open out door Posted: 08 May 2021 05:36 AM PDT Has anyone used the Yale keyless smart lock with an open out timber door? I've seen mention it only works with inward opening doors but looking at it it seems it would work exactly the same with a night latch designed for opening outwards… [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 08 May 2021 03:04 PM PDT I'm hoping not to spend too much, since this is my first venture into home automation, but I'm hoping to get a way to be alerted, on my phone and google home, when my loads are finished. Any direction you guys can point me in will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance [link] [comments] | ||
| Posted: 08 May 2021 11:14 AM PDT I am totally new to home automation but was a controls engineer. I'm planning on setting up my house with cameras, some i/o for contactors, thermostat, and a smart lock. I'm considering z-wave networking. For the smart lock I am seeing more and more moving to Wi-Fi instead of z-wave. Not knowing how these specific devices work, will the Wi-Fi locks have the same control functions compared to the z-wave ones (remote control, alerts, remote passcode programming)? I am also concerned of power consumption. The property may not have someone there for 2-3 months on occasion. I'm thinking of making a large battery pack to piggyback on the installed batteries. Advice appreciated. Thanks. [link] [comments] | ||
| Looking for Alexa-compatible wi-fi outdoor speaker (not battery powered) Posted: 08 May 2021 11:00 AM PDT We are adding a 3-season room and expanding our patio this summer. I'd like to put a speaker (or speakers) out on the patio that we can control via Alexa. I don't want something that's battery powered and has to be recharged. Since this will be on the patio, we need something designed for outdoor (weatherproof) use. I've done a lot of searching, but all I can seem to find that is weatherproof also seems to be battery-powered. Any suggestions??? [link] [comments] | ||
| Honeywell Thermostats Losing IP Address Posted: 08 May 2021 04:42 AM PDT I'm running Ubiquiti UDM Pro router with current firmware and several AP. I have 7 Honeywell Wi-Fi thermostats that randomly lose their IP address and are unable to regain them. At least that's the error the thermostat shows. I found a superuser.com user post that had the same problem and their solution was to change password to all lower case but my password is already 8 lowercase letters, no numbers and no special characters. Anyone else run into this? [link] [comments] | ||
