Discover IR codes for lost remote

Hi all Possibly a long shot - but does anyone know of a way, (maybe you have some code or know of an app) that can help you discover the IR codes of a device when you’ve lost the remote? Looking online there seems to be a growing number of IR banks, yet I can’t find anything on the market that could cycle through a huge set of different codes (e.g just the power on/off) to let me know which ones are compatible ? When you consider so many things these days are made in the same place, and often thing can just be re/badges versions of other items - it’s likely that a sets of codes for one branded product will work in the most part with another ..

How to parse JSON path in LUA?

Hi, I'm working on new features for my Virtual Devices Plug-in. One of the things I want to add is the ability to poll an endpoint to get power consumption. So, I want to store the URL and the JSON path in a variable, but I'm confused on how to dynamically parse JSON paths in LUA. I have something like this in a string variable data.meters[1].power and I have to extract the corresponding value from the JSON I got over HTTP. Any suggestion is very appreciated. Thanks.

Humidity/Mold sensor

I'm trying to write a sensor similar to this: home-assistant/core :house_with_garden: Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first - home-assistant/core I've already translated it to LUA, but I'm getting strange values. Maybe it's because it's not that cool yet. Anyone has already done something similar? I have outside and inside sensors and I want to run my de-humidifier based on certain conditions. I want to avoid condensation on the large windows. Last year I ran it based on a fixed threshold, but I want to optimize this if possible.

SwitchBot in Openluup (was: Smaller and local alternative to MicroBots)

I have a need to just push a button, since I can't hack the thing at the moment. I know there's MicroBot, but they're bluetooth, requires and hub and are not local. I'm OK with BT or an additional hub, but I really really want local control. Anyone? Thanks!

Geolocation

R

Hi guys, I’m researching the move away from Vera and z-way has the most chance at this point. However, I came across the geolocation aspect of my setup. I now use Vera Proximity. It works, but is not the most ideal solution. This won’t be an option anymore after I’ve migrated, so I was wondering what you guys use for geolocation.

The Home Automation Controller Pyramid

Since one member asked at one point about the "front end" and "back end", I drew this showing the controller from the base to the tip along with what I have found to be the best options from my testing. Almost every controller will try to integrate all elements, especially commercial ones but... they all have strengths and weaknesses so if one can have a medley of the best ones...

Best way to check for http_async?

I'm trying to implement the support for http_async in my Virtual Devices plugins. From my tests, Vera's UI seems less busy, but I want to automatically detect if it's installed. Right now I'm using a code like this one: if pcall(require, "http_async") then else ... end but I'm not sure it's the best way to do it. Any one? @akbooer? Thanks!

I'm bored :D

What are the projects you're working on? Summer is over, and that (unfortunately) means more time indoor and (luckily) more time to build things. I have almost nothing in my backlog and it's boring I appreciate a couple of (crazy) ideas.

Add Indicator commandClass to zNode metric

R

I'm trying to monitor the indicator command class of a 5 button scene controller in Z-Way so openluup can properly create and track it. seems like Z-Way COMMAND_CLASS_INDICATOR (0x87 or 135) are not being monitored by the ZWave module as I couldn't find anything for this command class in (/z-way-server-path/automation/modules/ZWave/index.js) When a Get or Set Indicator command class request is sent to the controller. ZSniffer picks up the request and response just fine although this packets are not being monitored by the zwave module Example: ZWayIP:8083/ZWaveAPI/Run/SendData(NodeID,[ Command_Class, Instance, Value ]) ZWayIP:8083/ZWaveAPI/Run/SendData(2,[ 0x87, 0x01, 0x01 ]) (Hexa) ZWayIP:8083/ZWaveAPI/Run/SendData(2,[ 135, 1, 1 ]) (Decimal) the answer looks like: [2020-04-24 19:59:36.261] [I] [zway] Waiting for job reply: Indicator Get [2020-04-24 19:59:36.281] [D] [zway] RECEIVED: ( 01 0B 00 04 00 02 03 87 03 01 B6 00 C2 ) [2020-04-24 19:59:36.281] [D] [zway] SENT ACK I’d like to store the Indicator response “RECEIVED” correctly. I believe by modifying the index.js of the zwave module could do the trick and once the module start tracking the indicator command class values as a metric then openluup's z-way plugin would properly track any changes as well. I'm wondering if anyone around here could share any thoughts or comments that could make it easier...

Second Z-wave netwerk or slave controler

E

I have a VeraPlus and would like to purchase a second z-wave controler. Is it possible to build a second z-wave network next to an existing z-wave network? Slowly I want to move devices form Vera to the new z-wave network. Is it more advisable to install the second z-wave controller as a slave controler?

Shelly 1 as doorbell sensor/opener

So, I'm at the 4th Z-wave devices and I still have trouble in getting my Vera operate my door gate, and getting the input from the doorbell. It's already all 220v, because I have an external modulo meant for integration. So, last night I had an idea: why not use a Shelly 1 as both sensor and opener? If you need instructions on wiring, here's an image: Shelly 1 can operate the output independently from the input. So, I prototyped this: I attached to the doorbell sensor O attached to the gate opener It seems to work on my bench, because I can call the endpoints when the button is pressed or the input is triggered, so I can update virtual devices and execute all the logic I want. I usually integrate these devices with MQTT, but it's not necessary in this case, since I can live with a doorbell buzz being missed. Bonus point: you can run it at 12v if you want. Next in my TODO list, the Shelly Universal, a 9 EUR universal binary inputs, with separated inputs and outputs (so, you can get 2 inputs and operate 2 outputs independently), that I'll probably use in my weather sensors project, where I'm using two Shelly 1 at the moment, just the get the inputs.

iPhone Locator force refresh error

Anyone any idea what this might mean? We have two iPhones. Mrs C's and mine. Mine is totally fine. Mrs C's says 'forceRefresh error, check logs / 300 s' and refuses to tell me where she is Same settings in both instances (in fact I have created a second instance for Mrs C and that does the same). I know the username / password are correct, and the iCloud list populates in the right manner.
