I’m looking for door & window contact sensors and motion sensors to replace an old Simon 3 ADT security system. I’ve read a lot of posts and such and I’m still having a hard time picking out sensors that will work with an existing Smarthings v2 Hub (currently used for lights) and eventually Home Assistant once life calms...
Are there any individuals or services that will build a custom air quality sensor from individual components for a fee? I am mainly interested parties in a couple humidity+temp+co2 boxes (wifi,zigbee,zwave or cable)...
So, what I want to do is basically to be able to publish some of my own IR remotes at home to some public database, very probably IRDB. Of course I’d also be using the device for automations and so on, which I know it works great at that. But my main goal is to make it possible for people to not have to buy a stupid remote for...

Which switches can you recommend?...
What’s the advantage of the zigbees? I can get both bulbs, wifi and zigbee for ~5 bucks....
Hi. I live in a housing cooperative. Am considering a solution for connecting some Doors and booking function to a central hub. What are your experiences there? For example I have a yale doorman that has the possibility to be controlled via a hub. Thankful for tips and recommendations
Any low power security cameras that would recommend with night vision and decent quality? Ideally non-smart without a cloud option as I would like to connect it directly to an offline server with a cable or wifi (although not having a wifi might be better)
I recently bought a portable ice maker, and want to be able to set it to a schedule/make it smart. Unfortunately, it does not power on when plugged in, and the power on is operated by a momentary push button....
So since Blynk have started paywalling more and more controls, and have finally reduced it to just a button and a slider…...
I want to get started with home automation, probably based on a raspberry pi (or as of now with my banana pi which is my home server) and either openHAB or home assistant. My goal is, first, to put some temperature/humidity sensors in varous rooms and leak detector in my basement where I had some issues with the main drain. I...
I put three DS18B20s on a wire along with three SHT30s on D1 mini shields, all in a cardboard box indoors, for a day....
The DS18B20 (on a Feather Huzzah) seems to miss some rapid changes that the SHT30 (on a D1 mini shield) reports, even though TelePeriod=60 for both. The DS18B20 does seem to report changes within 60s of each other sometimes so I think we’re just seeing duplicate values elided, which I do expect....
I’m wondering if I can get a device that enables zwave over Ethernet/wifi and connect that to my home assistant setup?...
Has anyone seen anything in terms of locks that could be used for smaller doors etc. For example, a drawer/cabinet style lock or something that might work for bifold closet doors etc. Also setups that could be used to automatically slide out a drawer....
Way back at the beginning of my figuring out home automation, I bought a Animus Heart....
By local control, I mean if the Z-wave hub is down will the switch still work as a dumb switch and turn the lights on/off?...
My house doesn’t currently have a doorbell of any form (100+ year old house, I guess no one ever installed one along the way), and lately we’ve been suffering a bit of antisocial behaviour so I’ve been looking into getting a smart doorbell....
While I quite like the ability to broadcast TTS, media, and other such things to Google Nest or Amazon Alexa devices, I’m trying to rein in my HASS setup so that it doesn’t send data to our require cloud services....
