Not sure what temp and humidity levels a terrarium is expected to have, but Shelly makes a good device for monitoring both - www.shelly.com/en/…/shelly-h-and-t-white.
Or one with a screen (still smart) - www.shelly.com/en-us/…/shelly-h-and-t-gen3-1/
We use the latter in our bedroom which triggers the power outlet to a humidifier if it gets too dry when we’re sick.
Ah, that’s what I was looking for. Thank you. I am not sure if an MQTT signal works well for dimming, but I guess I’ll give it a try, because otherwise I end up with two switches controlling the same set of lights in the same location… not idea.
I wish I could figure out the code to get my T6 to control the Confortotal mini split I got off eBay. I have to think they’re using some genetic code base, but I couldn’t find a matching one.
Create your own automation instead of using the blueprint. The blueprint doesn’t expose the location so it won’t work.
You might be able to look at the full yaml from the trace and copy it into a new automation (replace everything, then update the name). Once you’ve done that you should be able to use the visual editor and make whatever changes you need.
I’ve actually been trying to implement something like this myself, but I’m trying to do it natively in HA. What I’ve done so far is make an automation for each appliance that calls a script (with variables passed through for messages and whatnot) which notified each member of the household in parallel, based on whether they’re home or not.
My eventual plan is to make each appliance automation flip an input_boolean that sends an initial notification which can be dismissed (either by sensor, NFC tag or notification action). Then every so often or based on a trigger (like door opening, toothbrush doing off, etc.) it triggers the notification script again.
github.com/…/Installation:-Home-Assistant-OSInstalled it, got one feed working live streaming, that’s it. Left it because of life you know. Upgrade it to version 0.8 the other day and rebooted the HoAss server and voila, there it was. Recordings of the all the movements recorded by the camera.
It might be easier to have the electrician install normal switches at first. That will give you time to figure out which ones you want to be smart, which ones you want on dimmers, etc.
Sensors will all be outside the wall, although you should make sure the thermostat wire has enough for a C wire.
I don’t know about smart outlets – I don’t think they’re very common. Most smart outlets are designed to plug in to normal dumb outlets.
If there’s a good spot on the ceiling, I’d have them run some ethernet cable to a box. You can leave it covered, but it’ll be there in case you decide to mount a WiFi AP there.
I simply use an USB conference speaker/microphone plus the Assist Microphone add-on. (in my case this one from Microsoft, it works great with my RasPi.)
I actually prefer that over the Echo or other embedded devices, as it is able to pick up my voice from further away and the output audio quality is much better. (My use case is something similar to commercial proprietary systems like from Amazon/Google.)
The M5Stack Echo I use on my night stand with push to talk for quick actions, for that it is enough.
I haven’t had this issue specifically but I’ve noticed when adding color changing bulbs, the color changing ability doesn’t show up in Home Assistant until I change the color in the dashboard of zigbee2mqtt. After that, home assistant recognizes the bulb’s capabilities. What hub do you have?
