LEDVANCE
O

Hi.
I have a ton of different Ledvance bulbs, pluggs sensors and lights.
So far everything works fine.
Bot there is one thing I want too figure out.

I can link lights with the sensor so the light turns on when I enter the room.
But I want to put a timer on it.
Like 5 min without movement and the light turns of. I just can't figure out how..

I use LVD app.

Water Flow Meter & Shutoff
B

Hello - I'm building a new home with zwave throughout. I want to install a flow detection shutoff, and flow meter for three different areas - a pool autofiller, irrigation system, and the home usage. I'd like to be able to detect any leaks in the system, as well as see the flow/usage by each area. What would you recommend?

chine version of homeypro to convert 433 to IR,wifi,Bluetooth,866,..?/
C

hello

i am searching for a universal hub that takes my 433 remotes signals and repeats them 433mhz or converts them into bluetooth, wifi, IR, z-wave etc…basically into all the other signals. so my 433mhz remote becomes a universal remote.

it should have an app to configurate, maybe a learning function as well

i belive the homey pro can do that but it costs like 400$ …right?

so is there a cheap “china” product that works like that for at least 433 into IR, bluetooth, wifi

there are so many chinaproducts and i cant figure out which can do which trick !/ this for example https://de.trck.one/redir/clickGate.php?u=Ha2Rd3xX&m=1&p=9yUI69TI8b&t=kLf5673Z&st=&s=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.techpunt.nl%2Fde%2Fhomey-bridge.html%3Fgclid%3DCj0KCQiA9YugBhCZARIsAACXxeJvViv59ieDen9zOXTP1jhc_OisKQxPlCZOJsPGX20nWo7UROROuJcaAix5EALw_wcB&r=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hardwareluxx.de%2Fcommunity%2Fthreads%2Fbillige-chinaversion-von-homey-pro-gesucht.1333803%2F

i am working with 433mhz intertechno protokoll remotes .

please help

Remote light switch
S

Looking for a simple solution that doesn't require running wire (replacing a switch receptacle is fine)

The problem: the only light switch in my garage is not near a door. So have to walk into the garage to turn the lights on.

Ideal Solution: physical remote I can stick on the wall next to the door to toggle a switch. Is there a product that is a toggle switch to replace the basic switch in the receptacle that I can also operate with a remote?

ESP32 / ESP8266
akbooerA

Is anyone actively developing anything on these IoT chips?
In particular, using NodeMCU for Lua programmability?
Just got a development board to play with myself...

After a fruitless search for WiFI pulse utility meter readers (can't believe I couldn't find anything suitable) and also having resolved a while ago not to include any homebrew hardware in my HA configuration, I've decided in the end to try this out, after all.

Having cut my teeth on Lua, thanks to Vera, it seems promising to use it for development, rather than Arduino programming, and the hardware is SO much cheaper, smaller, and neater than a RPi or the like.

Any experiences welcomed!

Shelly i3 as a cheap scene controller for Openluup
therealdbT

Shelly i3 is an unbelievably cheap (9,99 EUR/USD) WiFi device that’s part of the fantastic Shelly family. It supports REST API, MQTT and much more.

It’s just L,N and 3 inputs. No relays, so it’s a scene controller with bonus point to the fact that you can use your own buttons and keep the aesthetics of your house. Bonus points for WAF. It’s very small, so it will fit in your standard wall box easily.

While I built my own Scene Controller Virtual Device and I’m using MQTT for other devices of the family, Shelly can call your HTTP endpoints on button presses and in this case is more than enough.

The buttons support different actions (press, long press, double/triple press) and you can just call a service endpoint, or update a variable:

Go get it if you need a very cheap, very reliable scene controller for your home.

Hue dimmer as replacement for MiniMote remote
akbooerA

Finally, I’ve found an adequate replacement for my beloved MiniMote four-button remotes (I’ve had nine of them for the last 10 years or so!). I should have realised this earlier, but with four buttons and approximately the same form factor, the Philips Hue remotes are viable replacements…

…however, they are, of course, Zigbee and not Zwave, but this doesn’t matter in my HA environment, which has now completely ditched Zwave and Vera for all lighting and control functions, and replaced them with Hue and Shelly devices. These are all brought together with a Homebridge installation running under Docker on Synology NAS with the Apple Home app as the UI. This gives, of course, both secure remote access and voice control.

The MiniMote buttons I had configured as scene triggers to do whatever I needed, most usually toggling lights. The same functionality is easily achieved within the Home app by appropriate shortcuts.

I’m still using openLuup as a secondary hub which mimics all the various devices using MQTT and the ALTHUE plug-in and logs all device and sensor data using the built-in Historian and viewed through Grafana.

Works for me!

UZB Stick - Moving from Z-Way to Z-Wave JS
PerHP

After a long wait for an updated version of the rather crude and unfinished Z-Way integration to HASS, i'm now looking (reluctantly) in to replacing Z-Way with Z-wave JS..
Mind you this is a big existing network, not a new controller stick..

I threw up a docker for z-wave JS UI, and tried to connect it to the UZB stick.. It loads the whole network from the stick, but the driver keeps restarting?

Looking at the logs, I see a lot of Dropping message because the driver is not ready to handle it yet.

It seems like the stick just keeps talking like z-way was still listening? This ends up in the driver crashing repeatedly.. Any ideas to how I can get them talking?

In the code snippet below, you see the driver restarting with the graphic letters, seemingly while the stick is mid-sentence, or because of ACK timeout...

Intercom Buzzer wiring with Shelly Plus 1
M

Hi,
I have an old analog intercom (Golmar) that has this horrible buzz sound when someone rings my apartment from the buildings front gate. This becomes very annoying at night so I need to make this buzz silent from 10:00pm till 7:00am
I have a "Shelly Plus 1" connected to the intercom. (wire #0 and wire #3 are responsible for closing the circuit for the buzzer).
I have set Webhooks and Scenes, but my wiring does not work. Can anyone tell me what i have done wrong?

Cheers!

Any decent destination for a Vera Plus?
wmarcolinW

Well with all that has been going on with Vera/eZlo, many people are abandoning the Vera hubs and moving on to other solutions, such as Hubitat (my case), HASS, HA, and many other controllers.

In the past, I had already been informed that when the migration was over, my Vera would go to the incinerator, or under the wheel of my car, and of course, I did not comply.

So I wanted to open a debate, for those who have not yet sold their Vera on eBay, are with the equipment idle, what destination could be given?

I see many saying that it has become a laboratory, I don't see much sense, since it is becoming obsolete and without a drive. But it can be a destiny. Has anyone thought about whether it is feasible to change the hub's SO so that it becomes a host for MSR, for example? Or even Home Assistance? I have no knowledge, but it seems to me that processor and memory have to do something like that, already has embedded wifi and network.

Does anyone have any idea if it is possible to give this equipment a destination other than a box?

HVAC Control
LibraSunL

I didn't see an existing Topic for heating-ventilation-air conditioning, so here goes...

Is anyone successfully controlling a "mini split" (i.e. ductless) A/C or heat pump system at home? I will be adding such a system soon to new construction, and wondered if certain brands/models interface better via Z-Wave or WiFi than others in a HA setting.

I know a bunch of these "splits" come with handheld remotes, but having robust Home Automation control (preferably without a dedicated plug-in needed on the Vera side) would be idea.

Happy to hear suggestions. Thanks!

Can a Ezlo Plus be bridged to a Vera Plus

I have a legacy Vera system that in my home and I need to add a few devices to a cottage on my property. The Vera zwave won't see devices that far away. Both the house and cottage are on the same LAN. Can I bridged an Ezlo Plus to my existing Vera plus and if so are there instructions?

Hey guys...

Is it just me or the GE/Jasco switch or very sensible to power outage ?

Almost each time we have a power outage, I need to replace at least 1 switch to replace.

Each time, same behaviour, the blue led is flashing rapidely and nothing works.

Last power outage, I got 3 switches. 95% of our switch and dimmer are GE/Jasco.

P1 electrical smart meter reader
A

About one month ago I got a new electrical meter in the house. The new meter is a "smart" meter equipped with a data port. It is more or less the same type of meter that is used in a number of European countries, e.g. The Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden etc.
Norway has selected a different version with a RJ45 port with another protocol.

The dataport is a serial "P1" port in the form of a RJ12 contact that sends quite a lot of data every 10 seconds:
c716b64e-dcac-4ea4-9b1b-8ee29eb55edc-image.png

The data will show both consumption and production if you e.g. have solar panels at home.

My initial though was to use the Tasmota P1 Smart Meter with Mqtt. I tried this and it works, but unfortunately I got some serial data errors every 5-10th message for some reason so I decided to try another solution.

I found a few other alternatives and tested one of them. The upside with this version is that it is adapted to the Swedish data fomat that differs from the Dutch a bit and that it delivers the data in Mqtt form:
2aab179b-a9ea-4041-8c38-f73570206e11-image.png

The hardware is pretty simple. For the Tasmota variant and most of the other solutions you need a ESP8266, e.g. a Wemos mini and then a transistor and two resistors (image below). The version I use is even simpler since it does not need the transistor.
For a lot of the meters delivered (DSMR 5 versions if I am right) you can power the ESP from the 5V provided in the RJ12 port, very handy.

42092756-f6b3-4375-9000-04bcd1e22240-image.png

It is also possible to buy a readymade P1 meter, this one looks quite nice, although I have not tested it.

In order to get a good overview of the data from the meter I have started creating a dashboard in Grafana that gets data from Historian in OpenLuup. It is quite useful to be able to see the load over time per phase etc.
a8276d7b-6b39-4f3a-a663-353173c1da5b-image.png

I also managed to grab the hourly prices in json format and display that in the dashboard via some lua code in a scene.

At the moment I have built no logic around this, but it opens up posibilities for sure. In Sweden the electrical tarrifs will change from daily rates to being higher when demand is higher, perhaps then this can be used.

All in all a fun DIY project that provides some useful data out of the electrical meter. 🙂

Random on/off smart bulb behavior?
C

I am new to this forum. I have been building an Alexa-based smart home for a few years. Overall, works well. I have a curious problem with a smart light. I set up a Kasa smart bulb in a ceiling can fixture. It worked well for at least 2 years. Then it began turning on randomly. Eventually, it began turning off randomly.I swapped out an identical bulb from another fixture and the problem persisted. I just replaced the ceiling fixture with a new one, properly installed, and the problem remained.

I replaced the Kasa bulb with a PlusMinus bulb. I can control it correctly, but the replacement bulb behaves in the same random on/off way.

Any ideas? I am at a loss!

Thanks.

    I use my Vera+ for the z-wave and 433 devices (I even have one in reserve) together with MSR and Home Assistant, working well. If I remember well I think @toogledbits have said he is experimenting with the MSR on Vera but I'm not sure if that is on the table today.

    @toogledbits have said he is experimenting with the MSR on Vera

    That was Ezlo... I do have it running on an Ezlo Plus. Not something I'm probably going to release, though, at least, not just yet.

    I still use a Vera Edge as a Zwave to HTTP bridge, as a peripheral to an openLuup system.

    I have two VeraPlus running at the cabin (in separate houses), one at my parents house, and they work well with only a few devices(z-wave and 433) and cameras.
    I will probably have to replace them when ezlo pulls the plug on the server though.

    @perh just decouple them and you’ll be fine. I’m running off the cloud in the latest year and my Vera plus has never been more stable than today. It’s just a Zwave bridge with a reload once per week, due to some code still running and that I’ll port outside very soon.

    But then i'd have to figure out a way to remote connect to them first.. how do you do that? Can Dataplicity be installed perhaps?
    Haven't read about EOL date, so it might be years still. 🙂

    @perh I'm using my Synology to (securely) expose it when needed, under https. For longer maintenance, I'm just using a VPN.

    Having heavily invested in automations, I'm honestly doing this no more than 2-3 times per year. I rarely use remote control, so this is working very well fom me, and overall, the solution is more secure, since I'm not exposing anything to them. As I've said, it has never been so stable.

    Hi!

    Reading the comments the destination I am giving to my Vera Plus are:

    • simulation lab, I have installed the Switchboard Plugin, the old and good Reactor and SiteSensor from @toggledbits , and I think I will download the tools from @therealdb;
    • I'm also using the Vera with SiteSensor to ping the internet, Hubitat, and MSR, as external control. If one fails, I send a Telegram, connect a switch, and then initiate action on either Hubitat or MSR.

    Now a question, I do not know if @toggledbits can help.

    Is it possible to make some settings in MSR, so I can exclude devices that are published from Vera to MSR? I see for example that the three pings that I set up are triggering the MSR unnecessarily, as well as other devices from the lab.

    Is it possible to have an exclusion table that I don't need MSR to load and synchronize some devices from Vera?

    Thanks.

    Specifically for VeraController, you can use filter_entity in your config for the controller. It's an arrayobject, and you list the (would-be) entity IDs you want to exclude.

        ...(redacted other config)
        implementation: VeraController
        config:
          source: "http://192.168.0.123:3480"
          filter_entity:
            device_10: true   # true to filter the entity out, false to keep it in
            device_94: true
            device_401: true
    

    Or, if you are excluding almost all of the devices, and just want Reactor to pick up a few, use accept_entity using the same form, listing the IDs of the devices you want Reactor to have.

    EDIT: Whoops! It's not an array, it's an object. Fixed above.

    filter_entity

    @toggledbits hi!

    Thanks for the prompt information, but I think something is not working right.

    I tested the deletion first:

        config:
          source: 'http://192.168.33.6:3480'
          filter_entity:
            - device_15
            - device_6
            - device_13
    

    See that it didn't remove the devices.

    Then I tested for keeping only the ones I am interested in.

        config:
          source: 'http://192.168.33.6:3480'
          accept_entity:
            - device_9
    
    

    Then removed all the devices.

    @toggledbits testing!

    Perfect removed the indicated

      source: 'http://192.168.33.6:3480'
      filter_entity:
        device_15: true
        device_6: true
        device_13: true
    

    fd8d0186-5691-48bf-b90b-438972e0738d-image.png

    Ok, kept only the informed one that had to stay, removed all the others.

      source: 'http://192.168.33.6:3480'
      accept_entity:
        device_9: true

    @toggledbits double-checking that for InfluxFeed plugin configuration syntax is:

      filter_entities:
             - "vera>device_398" 
             - "vera>device_413"

    Check the docs; clearly after what I did to @wmarcolin , my memory is not reliable of these details! 🙂

    In any case, the indenting is way off.

    @toggledbits testing with version 22025 we have the following situation.

    In the manual (https://reactor.toggledbits.com/docs/Troubleshooting-Entities/), it looks like this:

      accept_entity:
        "device_123": true
      dump_entity:
        "device_123": true
    

    I tested it this way in the new version and it works like the manual - without quotes (have to fix the manual):

        config:
          source: 'http://192.168.33.6:3480'
          accept_entity:
            device_9: true
    

    So, I tested the new version that I understand you have aligned with the other systems:

          accept_entity:
            - device_9
    

    OR

          filter_entity:
            - device_9
    

    IT WORKED!!!

    Testing the way that mentioned @tunnus :

          filter_entity:
            - "vera>device_9"
    

    IT DOESN'T WORK, with or without the quotes it doesn't work.

    IN SUMMARY, the form can be for Vera, don't know for other hubs:

      accept_entity:
        device_9: true
    

    or

      accept_entity:
        - device_9
    

    I hope I have helped.

    @wmarcolin said in Any decent destination for a Vera Plus?:

    IT DOESN'T WORK, with or without the quotes it doesn't work.

    The reason it doesn't work is because you are including a controller ID to make it a canonical ID. Canonical IDs are not used in that context because the configuration is already specific to one controller -- you don't tell it the controller for filter_entity in a VeraController config because it's in the controller's config, so it already knows.

    InfluxFeed is different because it watches entities for all controllers, so when identifying an entity, you have to use a canonical ID.

    As for quotes or no quotes, as long as the string doesn't contain any characters with special meaning to YAML, you don't need quotes. Do you know what those are? I don't keep that in my head. So I default to using quotes whenever it's anything other than A-Z, 0-9 and underscore. The > used in canonical IDs can definitely cause problems, so I always quote canonical IDs.

    New use for Vera, and helping to save him from the incinerator 🙂

    One of the eventual problems I am having with Hubitat, are devices that are added with Security S0, and several community posts report that this is a problem.

    So today I removed and reinstalled what had S0, but 4 there was no way to get in without Security, and to not create a problem in Hubitat's z-wave network, I installed again in Vera: Door Lock Yale B1L YRD110-ZW-0BP, Smoke Sensor Smoke (2x) and Bulb Zipato RGBW2.US.

    Of course I had problems to include in the Vera, the bulb is failing, everything we already know in the Vera. Just unfortunate that Hubitat can not bypass this problem.
