Hi All
Hopefully this place looks like a helpful forum as I’m quite new to all this!
I’ve had a few devices all working separately /through their proprietary apps but we’re just finishing off a large house extension and this has added to the list.
I’d ideally like to be able to view/switch a number of different devices on one screen/head end but have no idea where to start.
The devices we have/will have shortly are as follows;
Zigbee Smart Sockets
Zigbee smart switches (for lights)
Heatmiser Neo Underfloor Heating (this runs from a Samsung ASHP but that part is automatic)
Samsung VRF air conditioning (currently using Smart Things App)
Hive (2xLTHW heating circuits in the existing house and Hot Water)
Ring (doorbell!)
Hik Vision PoE CCTV
We have lots of appliances (Neff N70) which we can control remotely but not too fussed about controlling those at the
Moment)
Any help/recommendations would be appreciated!
Thanks

I have a legacy home automation set-up running on Windows XP. the computer and software have now died.
I have written a very nice Excel VBA program to replace the software and it can run on any modern Windows system.
My only remaining problem is to output the correct signal to a USB port to trigger the wireless switches.
Has anybody done a similar exercise. Please help.
Hi All,
Kind of new to Home Automation. Started off Using Amazon Echo units and added a Samsung SmartThings hub. I have mostly been using plug in modules for turning lights on and off. I live in a very rural area where the internet goes out a lot. I eventually want to change to to a non internet Hub so things will work without needing an internet connection. But I will post with those questions at a later date.
So, the task at hand is this: I have flood lights at each corner of my house. They are currently controlled by switches at the front and back doors. I would like to add Security Cameras to each corner also. I can easily find small Wifi switches to put into the electrical box where the flood lights are located, then I can terminate the leads together behind the Decora switch to have constant power. Then I can use the constant power up at the lights electrical box to power the security cameras. I would also like to have a wireless switch to take the place of the Decora switch to be able to turn the lights off and on.
I cannot seem to find a product like this. It seems I can find the small wired in switch boxes that will also come with external smart wall switches, but the wall switches are an external box that does not fit in or cover the existing Wall switch electrical box. I can also find Wireless Decora switches that come with a remote wired in small switch box , but they all seem to be RF and do not integrate with a Smart Hub.
I am hoping someone here knows of a product that matches what I am looking for. Any help would be appreciated.
Also any recommendations for Wireless Security cameras are welcome.
Thanks for any help.
Dear Forum,
I am just starting a smart home system. I've wanted to do this for 10 years at most and really would like to get a start. What I have are a couple of SONOFF wifi relays, some 433 (Hz/mHz) switches ( not wifi ) a couple of wifi lightbulbs, and I'd like to expand wifi thermostat, leak/water detectors, garage door openers and what ever else I can think of.
In the SONOFF items I have it's a particular app, the wifi bulbs are another app, and if I do a thermostat there might be another app. My wife is not a Luddite but she damn sure doesn't want to have to trouble shoot if/why a particular app breaks down.
So in what I do understand about smart home things is that I need/want a HUB. I spent 15 years doing some programming so I do have some computer ability, though I'd prefer to stay away from HAVING to line command operate the hub.
I would like a list of HUB's that people have found to be the best. Even better are links to let's say Amazon for that hub.
Regards from Noob Smart Home,
Barry
Hello lovely people. Long time and all that. Hope you're all doing OK.
Bit of a left field one here, looking for extra eyes more than an answer and you're the most logical bunch I know 🙂
Part of our HA system is a Logitech Elite hub and remote control.
This is programmed to control my Cyrus Stereo, our TV, and HDMI switch and our Virgin V6 box.
I've been away for a couple of days. Got back this evening to (eventually) work out that the V6 box appears to be not accepting any commands from the Logitech.
Everything has been rebooted.
Logitech uses IR to control
Cyrus: Fine
TV: Fine
HDMI: Fine
Remote control uses Bluetooth to control Hub.
All commands from the Remote to the hub are executed (one might assume correctly) as the activity LED responds, and if you're controlling (say) the Cyrus, all works fine.
iOS App can be used to control Hub over the WLAN:
All commands from the App re executed (one might assume correctly) as the activity LED responds, and if you're controlling (say) the Cyrus, all works fine.
Native remote (that uses as far as I know bluetooth) to control the V6 box works fine.
V6 box refuses to acknowledge any command other than from the native remote. Remote or app provoke absolutely zero response from the V6 box.
This is annoying, but damned if I can think of any logical reason. One might assume a firmware update on the V6 box, but given that the Hub simply emulates the native remote, that seems unlikely.
I'm struggling to think of where even to start troubleshooting this, so any random thoughts would be appreciated.
My initial approach is to buy another hub in case there's a different radio set that's failed in the hub...
TIA!

I currently have an HVAC system in the attic - for heating and A/C. 120v is supplied to the unit to run the gas heating. A/C uses 240v. I have an ecobee thermostat...which sometimes goes offline....not often. When it goes offline, I need to turn the 120v power to the HVAC system off and then back on (the ecobee gets its power from the HVAC system). That resets the ecobee and all is fine. I spend the summer away from this house and if the ecobee goes offine..I have no current method to reset the HVAC 120v power remotely. My idea is to replace the current 120v plug in the attic with a smart plug...then I can remotely turn the 120v power off and the ecobee will reset and come back online. I use Wyze and Lutron Casita in the house currently and was hoping I could find an in-wall smart plug from Wyze or Lutron. Obviously, I don't need diming, etc...just the ability to turn the plug power on/off. I've seen some options...but one problem I have is the attic can reach up to 135F in the summer...many of the smart plugs I've seen are not rated for that temperature. Might any of you have any thoughts on a smart plug I might want to look at? I don't want to invest in anything that would require a new hub - so either WiFi based or Casita HUB based. I need 120v and 15amp ratings. Thanks in advance.
I am trying to run a reaction that turns on lights if a sensor has not been tripped for 2 minutes. Basically, when a garage door is open, turn on inside lights if nothing has been sensed for 2 minutes. My question has to do with the expression/variable for "Last Seen". The variable never gets updated over time since the last seen event never changes.
Screenshot 2024-09-02 191632.png
In the screenshot above, the reaction checks for any garage door as well as the variable called "GarageLastEntry". The expression for this variable is displayed below:
Screenshot 2024-09-02 191651.png
The problem that I am experiencing is that the variable never changes over time. I understand that this is because the "last seen" variable does not change over time when there is no activity. In this screenshot, the value shows 0.029... This can also be seen as the current value in the original reaction screenshot above. After 10 minutes, this value should be 10. However, when a garage door is opened, the variable does not get updated and thus the rule does not become true since .029 is less than 2.
When I go to the variable and click on the > icon, the variable then gets updated as expected as seen below:
Screenshot 2024-09-02 191711.png
So the ultimate question is, how do I use a rule that can use a variable such as "last seen"? Do I need to create another variable or reaction that multiplies this by 1 every minute? From what I read in the manual, a variable is evaluated every time it is included in a reaction. But this is not what I am seeing.
I also want to ask another question related to this variable. It seems like Reactor continuously deletes this variable and I have to keep recreating it? I have never experienced this with MSR so wanted to ask if this is a common problem or if my definition is causing this.
Any info is appreciated!!!
BACKGROUND
I have been using 4 x Yale Contactless Connected Door Locks for several years (they use either a rfid tag or code to enter)
I have also been using 1 x Yale L1 Door Lock on the main front door and this connects via Yale Software
Yale contacted me to advise the L1 Lock software was being withdrawn and I needed to install a Yale Access Module into the existing lock and a Wi-Fi Bridge to link it with the newly released software
ALL of the above was working just fine.
RECENT
Yale emailed to advise I should add a Yale Access Module to each of the 4 other locks as this would link with the updated software via the Wi-Fi Bridge.
They offered a deal of just £4 each for these Modules so I got them.
THE PROBLEM
I found that only 2 of these modules would slot easily into the locks - two of them bent the pins and one of those snapped the female part in a lock (I do have a spare lock but thats not the point).
Anyway, I began to set-up the two fitted Modules with the Wi-Fi Bridge and I eventually found (thanks Google, NOT Yale) that I now need 1 x Wi-Fi Bridge PER LOCK (£50 each).
QUESTION
Does anyone know of a compatible Wi-Fi Bridge which works with Yale AND can handle multiple connections (ie 5 all 5 of my locks) ?
THANK YOU
Some of you may know that I took at shot at building an alternate geofencing solution for Vera. The core of it was system agnostic, using the OwnTracks application and AWS lambdas to track devices and keep a central data, then disseminate that to the Vera via a websocket-based plugin. It worked with other apps as well, including Tasker and GPSLogger, but of the dozen people that were testing it, most used OwnTracks.
A lot was learned in the process, not the least of which is that the success of any such solution is highly dependent on the phone and its settings. Phone manufacturers love to set things up for the longest battery life, of course, but that's usually very anti-geofencing behavior. In the case of at least one brand, it was unusable and the settings could not be modified. It was also cost-prohibitive to maintain on Amazon, as AWS grabs a dime here and a dollar there and before you know it, it added $100/month to my AWS bill, which my wife deducted from my Scotch budget. Unacceptable.
But it's quite reasonable to use OwnTracks to a local endpoint, and I could pretty easily replicate the functionality as a local application, or maybe even as an additional endpoint built into MSR's API (still separate port and process, but in the package).
So the question really is... would you do it, or would you be too concerned about the security risks associated (e.g., dynamic DNS and NAT mapping in the firewall necessary for the phone to contact the service when not on LAN)?
Hello forum instigators.
Not sure who host/runs the forum software but a couple of challenges:
The chat is not currently usable, as the scrolling is all not right and it's not possible to read chats or send chats reliably.
There are a lot of female members that should perhaps be on another forum; where they can advertise their skills more appropriately. Note: I agree it's a job, like any other.
Whoever you are - thank you for your invaluable work.
I run a B&B and am looking for a way to turn the lights off whenever a room is unoccupied for X amount of time. The guest should still be able to turn the lights on and off manually, but should not be able to disable the auto turn off feature if the room is unoccupied.
I guess I am looking for a light switch with a built in presence sensor? I guess a presence sensor would be better as if it is a motion sensor, the lights may go off unwanted if the guest fails to make sufficient movement e.g. if the guest is lying down watching a film.
Are there any products on the market that would work for my application?
Hello,
I am in search of a device capable of using Bluetooth to connect with a smartphone and serve as its primary sound source on demand. This device should function similarly to conventional Bluetooth headphones, which automatically become the phone's sound output upon activation. However, this device should differ in that it transmits the audio signal to an amplifier via a jack, SPDIF, or similar connection. Alternatively, it could be an integrated amplifier that directly sends the signal to passive speakers.
The control of this process should be manageable through an API such as MQTT, REST, MODBUS, or similar. Are you aware of any devices that operate in this manner?
The concept is as follows: upon entering the bathroom, I would press a wall-mounted switch. This switch would send a signal to the Bluetooth device, prompting it to connect to my smartphone and seamlessly continue playing the audiobook I am currently listening to. Instead of using the phone's speakers, it would seamlessly start playing through ceiling-mounted speakers.
Many thanks 🙂
Hi folks,
I currently have some cheap Zigbee hub and some Amazon Alexas running my smart home which mostly consists of Zigbee power strips and Zigbee battery powered switches.
It all worked OK originally, but now whenever I press a Zigbee switch the light in the corresponding plug switches on then immediately off again.
If I ask Alexa to turn the light on it works fine. Likewise if I switch it on from my phone.
Any ideas what the issue could be?
I've tried unplugging the hub a number of times but that doesn't seem to fix it.
I was thinking about getting a Homey Pro 2023 to speed things up (tmas the Zigbee hub seems to be really slow now as well, for some reason) but I'm not sure about that either.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
Looking for a recommendation:
Locksmith is trying to talk me into the Yale Assure Lock Touchscreen with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth - the original 1st generation because they said it's built better than the Assure Lock 2. Any thoughts on this? Which would you recommend?
I see Mul T Lock makes a cylinder (KW-KIDYRL) for Yale Smart Locks. Would this fit the 1st gen Assure Lock, as well as Assure Lock 2? Has anyone tried replacing the cylinder with this on either lock?
Other smart lock I was considering is the Schlage Encode Plus.
Thanks!
Hi. So when I had my house build I ran a bunch of stuff, one of which being two pairs of speaker wires to each bedroom and to 4 spots around my living room… Over the years I have used them here and there with different success.. But today they sit in my walls just unused.
I converted all the cat6 or 5e (I don’t remember) over to basically eithernet jacks. The cable coaxial well it’s there but now unused. But I was thinking there has got to be some use for two pairs of speaker wires to each room. Can I make them usb plugs? Not sure so looking for ideas.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.

Hey guys...
We are replacing the heat pump and furnace this week and I will also need to replace my nest thermostat at the same time 'cause Nest is ending the cloud thing end of the month.
Anyway, I'm looking to use the
T6 Pro Z-Wave Programmable Thermostat | Smart Home | Honeywell HomeThat's what the heat pump installer recommend BUT, using Nest I was also using it to control the home humidifier using a single wire connected to nest... but no low voltage thermostat is able to do that, I checked all of them...
So I need some help on how I can do that, to connect the home humidifier using zwave also....

Hey everyone, I'm currently working on developing a bed sensor that can detect when you're out of bed. It could be used to trigger other smart home gadgets, like lights or blinds, temperature etc.
The sensors are placed under the legs of your bed post. Should look and feel like "smart furniture pads" with size 2 inches in diameter and 1/4 inch thick.
Before we go any further, I'd love to get your thoughts on this - would a bed sensor like this be something you'd find useful? We're still in the early stages of development, so any feedback you have would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

@DesT, fenced code blocks display differently after the upgrade.
abc defThe above should display as abc and def on two separate lines. This works. But this fails:
verbose: true config: data: "auto"The above should display as three lines, verbose: true, config: and data: "auto", but this fails. In order to make it display properly, I now have to open the fenced code block with ```text (specify language, generic text). This displays without highlighting. The words yml and yaml (and the all-caps versions) don't seem to be recognized. I can also use js to get JavaScript highlighting, but this isn't great for YAML. Here's the same block with the language (text) specifier added (no other changes):
verbose: true config: data: "auto"Sure, we can start adding language specifiers to our new posts, but I suspect if we start digging around old posts, we're going to find a lot of broken display of the fenced code blocks (plain ``` at the start with no language specifier) in the thousands of old posts in these forums, upon which people still rely for answers and information.
Log file snippets also get similarly brutalized:

It’s a fact of history that openLuup would not have existed without AltUI. There’s no way I have the skills to make a modern web interface with asynchronous updates, etc. As my frustrations with Vera grew, AltUI was a huge innovation, which kept me with Vera. TBH, I can’t really imagine using Vera without it, now. After further frustration with the performance and behaviour of the Vera Luup engine, I realised that I did have the skills to develop openLuup.
It’s entirely open, and so BTW is AltUI. Everything is available on GitHub. I don’t consider @amg0 to be a commercial entity, but I take your point, and eschew subscription arrangements for most things. But needs must.
You can certainly continue up to a point with the openLuup interface, but I’m just pointing out that it has its limitations, and the LIFX interface is one such. I’m sure we can get around this, since you imply that you want to control this through one app or other. How is everything else working?
-
You don't have to pay for 95% of the functions of AltUI as long as you can live with an "unregistered" banner at the bottom. I did that for years, not sure if i actually had to register for how i use it.
On the other side, i'm now so happy with it, that I thought a donation was in order.
try this:[IP]:3480/data_request?id=lr_ALTUI_Handler&command=home&lang=en
That forces use of english. -
@akbooer Unfortunately, not great. I've been trying to set it up so that it will run on boot, but since I followed therealdb's advice and installed WSL on my Windows 10 installation, I've discovered that it doesn't use systemd and it appears I'm on my own in figuring this out now. At this point I'm feeling quite stupid and can't even figure out how to start openLuup again, but I must just be having a bad day.
The other obstacle is that I really don't have that many Zwave devices and my alarm system isn't even set up at this point, so even if I were able to get some traction, every Zwave trigger I have (motion sensor, Wallmote quad) leads to a LIFX light action. I was not able to get those to work, so at this point my tests will generally be meaningless.
@PerH thank you for the tip. I'll look at that once I can get it started again without following the install method all over again that's the only way I've seen in the manual, (aside from scripts for other system types). -
There are three alternatives for starting at boot time documented in the User Guide. I don’t know if either of the alternatives are suitable for your use case. To run openLuup, you just need to run the openLuup_reload.bat file, which wraps Lua in a loop which allows Luup reloads to work.
-
I thought batch files were exclusive to a DOS/Windows environment.
I had attempted to set up loading at boot using the the Systemctl approach listed in the appendix, but WSL rejects Systemctl/Stystemd. Everything I've read online states that it's not needed, however fails to mention what to do instead. -
Sorry, you’re right, of course. I was beguiled by the fact that you were, in fact, using a Windows machine. It’s the.sh file.
For me, loading at boot time probably would have lower priority than getting the rest of it running to your satisfaction. How often does the host PC get rebooted anyway?
-
Thank you so much for your assistance. I'm sure it can be an eye-rolling experience to help out newbies like me.
You are accurate that loading at boot is not a priority since I often run this machine for weeks art a time before rebooting. I was just trying to start from zero while considering certain factors such as security since I used to rely on my system to text me on my phone (using an email plugin) if something needed my attention.
Definitely not a top priority, so thanks for snapping me back to reality. lol I tend to get side-tracked.
So I tried:
sudo ./run_openLuup.sh
and a get:Starting openLuup server
To see tail of logfile: tail -f ./out.logNavigating to any variation of http://172.25.26.14:3480 fails.
http://172.25.26.14:3480/data_request?id=exit does nothing, either. -
Sorry to sound daft, but I have absolutely no idea where you got that file from. What does it contain?
The shell file you need is simply called
openLuup_reloadand should contain:#!/bin/sh # # reload loop for openLuup # @akbooer, Aug 2015 # you may need to change ‘lua’ to ‘lua5.1’ depending on your install lua5.1 openLuup/init.lua $1 while [ $? -eq 42 ] do lua5.1 openLuup/init.lua doneMy bad for calling it a .sh file.

Thanks for bearing with me here.

The file "run_openLuup.sh" was the only file I saw with the extension ".sh" in the directory /etc/cmh-ludl. I found the correct file you mentioned, and tried:

I see nothing running on that port. Also, it still doesn't work even after using "http://172.25.26.14:3480/data_request?id=exit" and attempting to initialize the program again afterwards.
I'm starting to think this may be firewall related, though I'm unsure as to how that would just manifest itself out of nowhere when I had it running fine last week.Update 1: After rebooting, it just gives me this message:
rm: cannot remove '/www/altui/altui*': No such file or directory
and then hangs.Update 2: Ok, so I tried running the install again and it seemed to work, but opening the IP address did not. I went and browsed the web for a good hour and then tried again for the hell of it and, lo and behold -- it worked. It no longer has VeraBridge installed or any devices that I had imported last week. AltUI still refuses to load.
Interesting. -
@quixote said in New to the forum:
rm: cannot remove '/www/altui/altui*': No such file or directory
An absolutely standard, if confusing, message from AltUI. So it must, at least, have started running.
Is there something special about the VM environment which requires some configuration, perhaps? Way out of my league, there.
But if you have access to the openLuup console menu, there’s much we can do to diagnose the system.
- logs, both the standard one and the startup one.
- openLuup > Scheduler pages, particularly startup and plugins pages
- openLuup > Servers, particularly the http page.
This should gives us some clues.

@akbooer I have no idea about configuring WSL in Windows. All I did was install it along with Kali Linux, and then Lua 5.1 and the other dependencies from the Bash prompt. I'm guessing that therealdb would probably have mentioned any setup procedures specific to this particular arrangement that I may have missed, but it seemed fairly straightforward. Here are the logs:

Under WSL you must use localhost (or 127.0.0.1) with the port. I usually go to http://127.0.0.1:3480/ and it's enough.
The beauty of WSL is that it's running a Linux kernel along the Windows one, and it's transparently sharing disk and network resources between the two.
Let me know if you want to add a paragrah for this in the guide @akbooer, since I think it's the best setup if you want to develop plug-ins for openLuup on a Linux box.

Yes, happy to do that – thanks. The documentation really does need a bit of updating and restructuring, it simply got paragraphs and chapters added as functionality increased.

Yes, thanks. You're running a (very) bare-bones system – even less than you would get with the standard install. But it is enough to bootstrap from. We really do need to get AltUI running (licensed, or not) first.
- Tables > Plugin Tables. Type 'master' into the Update box on the Alternate UI line and click the refresh button in that box.
- This will take a little while (~20 seconds?) and if you quickly switch to the devices page, you should see that the Alternate App Store plugin has started to load AltUI.
- if you refresh the devices pages, you should see that the uploading proceeds (or has finished.)
This should leave you with a running copy of AltUI, so you can try to access that again. You may need a Luup reload from the openLuup > Utilities menu.
Yes, the .1, .2, ... logs are previous versions. If AltUI access doesn't work, I'd like to see the log for the period when you were trying to get it downloaded.
Your next step would be to reconnect to your Vera, but we can leave that for a bit later.
WSL wasn't my idea, and I know nothing about it, so any help needed there will have to come from others.
-
@therealdb thank you, I'll try that.
@akbooer The download fails every time. It'll hit 3%, maybe 12% once, then fail.
Sorry, but WSL is my only option at present. I did have the VeraBridge functioning (at least in part) because I could see devices from the Vera in openLuup. Don't ask me what the heck happened overnight the other night, though! I swear, I have some sort of technology curse!!
How about using the github repository with the icon? Is that possible and how?
Thanks
