Can someone help me out? I’m adding a Lyric Round. I think I have it setup correctly (see images) but the loving thing is running the heat, so clearly I am a stupid. The split view of the diagrams shows the old system on the right, and the Lyric on the left. Just in case I inadvertently chose the wrong type (2stage heat/cool), I’ve added the other lyric options. https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0xGFssfGGr9A1s I could contact my apartment complex but they’d probably bitch and moan and/or charge me. I think the issue is the black wire...unsure where it’s supposed to go since orange/white are in the other spots. He;lp? (Edit: changed the config to 2stage heat,1stage cool - same) (Edit 2: if it helps, in my fuse box I have separate furnace and ac breakers) pipebomb fucked around with this message at 20:54 on Oct 26, 2017 |

For those of you using Home Assistant.. Version .56 added Google Assistant support. (https://home-assistant.io/components/google_assistant/) This means you can control Home Assistant entities anywhere you can interact with Google Assistant, such as AndroidTV boxen, Google Home devices, etc.. It does require some manual setup work still. Nowhere near as much as before though. One big requirement is that your Home Assistant installation is internet accessible and with a valid SSL cert. This can be accomplished with DuckDNS and LetsEncrypt.

One thing I'm not clear on from the instructions is whether or not the gactions CLI has to be run from the home assistant host, which would be a problem for me since I'm running hassio and it doesn't look like there's a plugin yet. It looks like maybe it can be run from anywhere, though. e: yep it's just a one time thing you can run from anywhere. already up and running, this is awesome.

I really only use it from Assistant on my Shield Android TV box. Still married to my fleet of Amazon Echos.

I thought gactions might need to tie into HA somehow but it doesn't so, non-issue anyways. I'm just happy to be able to control poo poo from assistant on my phone and Google Home's now without jumping through all the hoops that was required before. The most annoying part about this method is having to fill out all the app information despite the fact that it's never going to be published. That whole process could use a lot of streamlining

Is the best answer for both dimming and speed control on a single-switched ceiling fan still to buy one of the IR or RF remote control boxes and strap some transmitters to a Raspberry Pi? I haven't had any luck finding any standalone fan speed controllers that speak any kind of open home automation protocol. There seem to be a few built in to wall switches, but mine's just a single wire install so that would mean that fan speed changes also affected the lights which obviously doesn't work. It's a rental house, and while they're fine with me installing low voltage stuff like ethernet I'm not going to get involved with the mains wiring beyond replacing a few switches, outlets, and fixtures. wolrah fucked around with this message at 22:11 on Nov 2, 2017 |

No smart switch that claims to work without a neutral is worth a poo poo with LED bulbs, so I wouldn't really consider it an option. They worked by leeching a small current through the filament of incandescent bulbs to power the switch.

One room has the neutral but the other I’m not seeing it in the box behind the existing switch. It may be there and just not a white wire.

I got a few Philips Hue bulbs for $15 each and some Lutron connected dimmers for $20 each: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014STZASK/ With this you just hold the dimmer a few inches from the bulb and hold down a button to pair it up, then you can stick the dimmer to any wall to turn the bulb off/on/dim with no wiring needed. You don't need the philips hub either. My house had no wall switches at all and the ceiling bulbs were pull-strings so this turned out to be a simple, reliable and cost effective combo.

There are 6 can lights in the living room alone and I’d rather just drop the neutral from the light if possible and have a new wire pulled from the breaker to the switch. It might cost a couple hundred but it will be worth it for ease for guests, etc.

The Caseta 6WCL dimmers don't need a neutral.

I like the idea of the multitap commands, and got the Homeseer switches, but with Echo I hardly touch switches anyway. It also makes the switch less responsive because it has to wait for the multitap timeout to expire before acting on a single press. I bet I can solve that with a zwave programmer though, hmm.

The Caseta 6WCL dimmers don't need a neutral. If these didn't require yet another hub and have some sort of design to them, I'd be all over them. I know it's just a light switch, but I've got a particular design sense I'm trying to go with in the house. Do any other single pole z-wave dimmers exist? I honestly don't care at this point if I can't use LED bulbs. Edit: I suppose I could fish up a neutral from the wall plug that's in the same wall. That's "legal" to do without breaking electrical code, right? Edit part deux: If I had the amazon expert setup, it says they'll install up to three smart switches and it's a licensed electrician. That seems reasonable for the money and they would have to fish a line, right? That might be my cheapest option. Anyone done this? housefly fucked around with this message at 23:48 on Nov 3, 2017 |

Yeah, the range is pretty impressive. I have a three story row home with switches up on the third floor and the hub on the first floor, and I've never had a connection issue, ever. I plan on getting the outdoor one for my roof deck next summer too.

Having a problem where a lot of the Zigbee lights stop responding to my Smarter Things 2 hub. To the point where there's 2 lights in a room, one works the other doesn't. There's 5 lights in a hallway, 4 does 1 doesn't. I just yanked the battery, and power for 45 minutes and plugged it back in with having all lights in the house on, but after an hour there doesn't seem to be a change. Any thoughts as to what to do next? Are there better Zigbee hubs? I don't think it's a mesh issue because one of the hallway lights is probably literally the closest bulb to the hub.

Most z wave devices that can expect constant power availability (E. G. Switches, plug/outlets, indoor or outdoor modules) will act as repeaters for the mesh network. I believe Z wave allows 5 hops and Zigbee allows 15 (or around that for both numbers). It's not unlimited range but no need to sweat it in most homes.

I just bought/built one of the Google Raspberry Pi "AIY" kits and I'm kind of disappointed in what it can do. A lot of the time it seems like commands that exist on Google Home don't apply to this, with either no error message or a misleading one. Is there any list of what the AIY kit isn't allowed to do at this point? I'm not surprised it can't play music from Google Play All Access because DRM or whatever, but the fact that it can't seem to control my Chromecasts seems like a pointless limitation. Hell, to get it to control my Nest I had to trick the Google Home app in to letting me in to the menu it would have otherwise hidden until I had an actual Home device. It seems there's also software to use RPi devices with Amazon's services, would it be worth the time to convert this to be a half-rear end Echo Dot instead of a half-rear end Home Mini?

I'm going to play a bit more with it today. Like I see in the web page that at least some of them are getting pings and responding correctly. Just that they're not getting their commands. I may move the hub but I'm worried about my very limited Z-Wave if I do that. I only have two devices that are Z-Wave and 30 that are Zigbee. EDIT: Read a few places that those GE Links don't repeat for anything even themselves. So I ordered a pair of repeaters/plugs that I'll put around the house and see if that improves it. Not sure why 2 key ones dropped off the network still but will figure it out. Hughlander fucked around with this message at 15:33 on Nov 5, 2017 |
