    BTW I found out that the Google also a new API for their cameras. Has anyone tried to integrate the Nest Doorbell (or another Nest cam) in openluup?

    Only took me 7 months (plus one productive morning!) to fix. Turned out not to be a Sonos problem, but will leave here under Hardware > Sonos just in case others find themselves similarly afflicted.

    The code in your link was messed up when they updated that forum some years ago. I've rehashed it to give it a chance of working but I suspect you may still have trouble getting it to work. Running it in the Lua test window would be your starting point after reading the push over api doco. Another alternative is to use Telegram with the Telegram plugin. -- Refer to pushover documentation: -- https://pushover.net/api local pushToken = "YourPushOverTokenHere" local pushUser = "YourPushOverUserCodeHere" local pushTitle = "MessageTitle" local pushMessage = "MessageContent" local snapshotFile = "/tmp/camera_snapshot.jpg" local pushPriority = "1" -- Sound could be: pushover bike bugle, cash register, classical, cosmic, falling, -- gamelan, intermission, magic, mechanical, pianobar, siren, spacealarm, tugboat, -- alien, climb, persistent, echo, updown, none local pushSound = "gamelan" -- Link to the BlueIris videostream of that camera local pushUrl = "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/mjpg/ShortCamName&user=XXX&pw=XXX" local pushUrlTitle = "Camera Name" -- This points to one of my BlueIris managed cameras local camera = "http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/image/ShortCamName?q=50&s=80&user=XXX&pw=XXX" -- Get the snapshot from the camera local out = assert(io.open(snapshotFile, "wb")) local _,data = luup.inet.wget(camera) out:write(data) assert(out:close()) --Send PushOver request local curlCommandTab = {} table.insert (curlCommandTab, 'curl -s') table.insert (curlCommandTab, '-F "token=' ..pushToken ..'"') table.insert (curlCommandTab, '-F "user=' ..pushUser ..'"') table.insert (curlCommandTab, '-F "title=' ..pushTitle ..'"') table.insert (curlCommandTab, '-F "message=' ..pushMessage ..'"') table.insert (curlCommandTab, '-F attachment=@' ..snapshotFile ..'"') table.insert (curlCommandTab, '-F "sound=' ..pushSound ..'"') table.insert (curlCommandTab, '-F "priority=' ..pushPriority ..'"') table.insert (curlCommandTab, '-F "url=' ..pushUrl ..'"') table.insert (curlCommandTab, '-F "url_title=' ..pushUrlTitle ..'"') -- The .json suffix requests that the response be in JSON format table.insert (curlCommandTab, 'https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json') local curlCommand = table.concat (curlCommandTab, ' ') print(curlCommand) local handle = io.popen(curlCommand) local result = handle:read("*a") handle:close() print (result) -- Delete temporary snapshot os.remove (snapshotFile)

    To manage high temperatures (600°C) with Zigbee and Sonoff iHost, you can use a high-temperature thermocouple (like a K-type) with a MAX31855 or MAX6675 converter. Then, connect it to an ESP8266/ESP32 microcontroller with a Zigbee module (like Sonoff Zigbee). This way, you can read the temperature and integrate it into your automation stack via MQTT or HTTP.

    Just bought a new one as well. Looks like it'll probably keep working as long as it doesn't become un-compatible C
  • Z-Uno is the first and only easy to use developer board that allows you to create your own Z-Wave device without deep knowledge of Z-Wave protocol or programming. Z-Uno is a mix of Z-Wave home automation radio protocol power and Arduino simplicity.

    These are great not just for sensors, but also to ZWave-ify existing equipment in cases where a simple dry relay ZWave switch won't cut it. I had a few motorized transom windows with IR remotes, that can also be controlled through some weird industrial serial protocol. I build controllers for them using ZUNO boards, so I can now control the windows through OpenLuup.

    @dest You connect the constant 12/24V power supply + to P and - to GND on the Fibaro. Also connect + on the PSU to + on the LED strip. Then you connect the OUTnn to the corresponding pins on the RBG LED strip. [image: 1605910757665-rgbw-connect.jpg] If you do not want any switches INnn on the Fibaro should unconnected. My three (not four as I wrote above, sorry) set of LEDs in the kitchen are connected according to this diagram, perhaps it can be of some use. Note that the LED strip in my case is a white one that only requires one "OUT" connection to the Fibaro. Also note that on the older Fibaro version that I have "OUTnn" were named R, G, B and W. The diagram is in Swedish, but I hope it makes sense anyway. [image: 1605908831011-fibaro-schema.jpg] //ArcherS

    @rafale77 I can't make it delivered to Canada! I'm already having a DSC alarm system with a couple of smoke detector, I think I will just add some more and keep them on DSC. I already have the plugin for DSC -> vera -> openLuup!

    I don't have curtains (new, modern house, so zero classic curtains), and I don't use HA anymore, but it seems there are not public API for curtains. try to ping SwitchBot directly and ask for guidance.

    We have Fibaro (Not so) Smart Implant and Universal Binary Sensor in Europe. I use them for: alarm status gate/door status (outside, where I don't want a bulk or battery sensor) wind/rain notifications attached to sensors

    Because I still have a Frankenstein system, so I want to have things in sync. Let’s see if I’m out of projects in August and I’ll remove the Vera from the equation.

    @Matteburk my pool cover is manual, but if it's automated, it should be a dimmer/roller shutter.

    @DesT so Zuno is probably your best choice, if you want to just enable zwave endpoints. Tasmota seems to be a cheap solution as well. It’s pretty easy to route MQTT messages to openluup/Vera via home assistant or the MQTT client plugin.

    Pretty much yes. If compared to Lithium batteries, these are quite linear. Edited post to briefly mention some other technologies less relevant for our use.

    Ok I can read it now. It looks fine to me. These are the rather basic settings. You can play around and test various things from here to get comfortable with it.
