An iot program called openLuup was written by akbooer. Who is akbooer?
It: (note: answer redacted and as I understand it, also incorrect re: AltUI):
akbooer is the pseudonym of the software developer and home automation enthusiast. He is the creator of the openLuup home automation software, which is an open-source version of the Vera home automation system. He is also the creator of the AltUI graphical user interface for openLuup.
Me:
Who created of the AltUI graphical user interface for openLuup.
and
Me:
Who created of the AltUI graphical user interface for the home automation system Vera.
Names two different people - mmmm.
Regardless very impressive - give it a few more years.

Hi,
I am a student and recently i am working on smart home project and writing a seminar paper about the way users handle and manage IoT devices. I you have 3 min, please fill below survey. Its really short.
Thank you in advance, I really appreciate everyone's help. -
For what it's worth, I've been putting the finishing touches on a much-updated version of my DP Apps spreadsheet -- specifically intended for HE users, at least for now -- and invite you all to take a gander http://bit.ly/hedb23 at the PDF one-page version.
Corrections and edits welcome (esp. for the HOMEKIT column, just added yesterday)! Thanks in advance, especially because I'm not a big dashboard user myself, but somehow accepted this role as "keeper of the list" as it were.

Hello guys,
I would like to achieve two different things with lights, but I am not sure it could be done. I am starting with smart things, and I am far from any electrician knowledge, wo any help is really appreciated.
I have dumb switches in my hall, controlled from 3 places. I understood that installing one smart module before first switch will make them "hybrid", both smart controlled and dumb controlled.
I would like to buy ceiling light with two bulb sockets. What I would like to achieve is I would like to have one bulb for normal daily usage (lets say cold white full brightness), and second for night time (aprox from 10pm till morning) with some red/orange - minimum brightness.
So question are:
Is there a way to keep both bulbs turning-on separated? So only one will be on during day, and then only second during night?
And could that be done with pressing dumb switch? What would I need to achieve it? (maybe another module into the ceiling lights)
Thank you in advance

Aften some testing I watt to clear KWH how ?

Hello,
I have a kitchen light that can be controlled by two switches, using either to turn it off or on. I have been slowly changing things over to be a smart home but this is the first switch I am attempting to install.
I am in a double wide modular home (mobile) that was built in 1994.
At first I thought I would need a 3 way switch but when taking the normal switches apart I realized that was incorrect because the wiring on my switches are different than anything I could find online.
For one a 3 way smart switch requires 5 wires and there are only 2 wires going into the primary switch with 3 wires going into the secondary switch from the primary switch (at least I think the 3 wires connect the two switches together). Images will be attached of the wiring.
There are two wires (one black and one white) going into the first switch and 3 wires (black, white, and red) going out of that and into the second switch (I assume). The odd thing is the red wire going to the second switch is connected to the white wire going into the first switch and the white wire going into the second switch seems to be a bridge wire or a traveler wire. Not exactly sure. You will see what I mean in the images.
I need to know what kind of smart switch I can use in this set up with one remaining a normal switch.
Note that for some reason the images got switched around when uploading them. The image with 2 wires on one side and 3 on the other is what I think is the primary and the image with just 3 wires is the secondary.

You lot are more likely to have a view than most I know. Our much used Logitech Harmony is (not so) slowly dying.
And Logitech have discontinued the entire line.
And no one else appears to be making something similar.
Was going for a Sofabaton X1, but no numeric keypad. Sofabaton U1, but no favourites.
Anyone got suggestions?
Needs to have those features, oh and not be only a phone app.....C

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...

I was just going to add my support for a Update Button for the bare bones version of MSR and find the thread has been removed.
I'm wondering what was so provocative that required it's removal?
Have we become as paranoid as an owner of another forum?Anyway +1 for an Update Button.

So, I think I'm in a bit of an unusual situation. I work at a camp & retreat center that has wifi throughout. I want to put a few switches in the office that can control outdoor lighting throughout the camp. We currently have switches in each of the buildings, but it is a particularly frustrating job to get all the lights on in the evening when it is brutally cold out or we are short staffed.
Most of our staff is not very tech savvy (my boss literally has his wife print out his emails for him each day!!!) so, I'd love to avoid having to set up any sort of raspberry pi or new phone app.
Is there type of 3-way switch that can connect to the wifi, turn on a light in another building AND turn on an indicator light in the office, without having any sort of wire running between the buildings? Hopefully looking for a simple solution without breaking the bank too.
I greatly appreciate any input that you can give. Thank you!

Oh dear oh dear oh dear.
Cloud dead. No one noticed

They're doing maintenance, as they wrote on their forum.

On a mission to automate everything. -

There used to be a service uptime status page but that seems silently vanished.
-
Oh no it's still there. Claiming everything is hunky dory.
Just got an email saying it was due to maintenance:
Early this morning we pushed an update to our cloud server, but unfortunately, this update took longer than expected to deploy and has resulted in you being unable to access your systems or control your homes.
Which no one knew about (it seems apart from @therealdb ) including the guy that runs support.

Dear Vera Customers,
Early this morning we pushed an update to our cloud server, but unfortunately, this update took longer than expected to deploy and has resulted in you being unable to access your systems or control your homes.
We understand the responsibility that comes with putting our systems in your homes and apologize for the inconvenience this has caused many of you. The system should be up and running shortly, though due to the number of users trying to reconnect, access may be delayed a bit further.
Please note: during the update, the system was returning an incorrect username or password error, but you do not need to update either of these. Once the system is back online your usual username and password will work as normal.
Again, we apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate you being a loyal Vera customer.
Regards,

Cloudless FTW! People need to go back to what was the real purpose and benefit from the cloud and stop moving applications there because they can. I see this in the corporate world as well... The cloud's benefit is sharing and offloading things you can't do at home due to lack of processing power. This in no way applies to home automation which needs and certainly wants no sharing and even less requires the processing power to justify the power needed, the reliability/performance loss and the security liability to send your data into the wild.
On related note, their cloud is of the same quality as their products!! I just got an ezlo Atom 2 beta in the mail a couple of days ago in spite of having sent them an email not to send this to me as it would just add to my pile of garbage. Well it is here and completely scratched up looking like it got pulled from the ocean. It went straight to the trash can. The atom concept itself is self defeating and I fail to understand any sort of application for it besides adding RF interference and latency to any home setup. It is a product designed from gross ignorance about RF, zwave and home automation...

No argument from me.
Terrible operational awareness as well. Private conversations blame C19 because the teams are working from home.
I guess it sounds like I'm kicking them for the hell of it, but blimey, it's what, 2 years since the take over? This is basic basic stuff.
What I see being reported as issues with Ezlo testing seems they have a very very long way to go before that's ready for prime time as well.
When will we get voice control for OpenLuup?
C
-
Alright having to run to a meeting but... Right now my openLuup voice control is through alexa which is cloud dependent for the voice processing but my failover is... siri on my phone and laptop which is local...
-
-
yeah you know I dumped UI7 for a few months now. I dumped the mios cloud for well over a year. I have been using local bridges to Homekit and Alexa for about 5 years!

Well, when you get a chance

https://smarthome.community/topic/41/voice-control-and-tts-projects
All running on the same machine as z-way and openLuup. (a VM running on a single thread of my quad core 8 thread NAS)
Note that these provide much better control over what gets discovered and how they behave vs the cloud hosted solution. I can do a lot of things the cloud solution could not... in terms of action and device controlled. -
Well I always got as far as Hue and stopped! Idiot.
Right I need to start some kind of migration.
Reckon it'll all work on a Pi4? Or an oldish NUC?
C
-
Yes it would work on a rPi3 even or in my case I ran it for a long time on a celeron. It does't really exercise anything on the CPU:
z-way server occupies ~5%, openLuup (which is massive... over 300 devices and 200 scenes now) only takes 3% ALTUI spikes another 3% at the most with my latest discovery of rapidjson, and these bridges all take less than 0.5% together. RAM required: 500MB. Honestly I could almost run it on the vera plus if I could compile all these for ramips. This supports my point about not needing a very powerful CPU for processing but we need to pay attention to the I/O bandwidth and network capacity/cpu storage reliability. Complete opposite of the ezlo plus which upgrades what doesn't matter and downgrades what is important vs the vera.
If you do want to expand later into the video realm though at this point I would recommend the nVidia Jetson Nano...
which is equivalent to rPi4 with a GPU. -
Hmmmm
So I think I'll start a thread of my migration to hopefully document / encourage! Thanks!C
