Talking of this: assuming this migraine doesn’t get worse in tomorrow’s heat I’ll be spending Saturday wiring up the bedroom in our new place. Plenty of time to think about control boards as I stand up a ladder pulling cables through holes in walls. #ESPhome #HomeAutomation

20 Jahre alte Garagenmotortechnik in #Homeautomation/-Steuerung zu bringen ist kein Selbstläufer. Habe zwei "Sommer Duo". Die haben die Möglichkeit jeweils separate FB-Tasten für Auf- und Zu zu verwenden. Diesen Modus nutzen wir. Um das ganze via Relais zu schalten habe ich zwei Shelly 1 mini genommen und mit 220V der Garagensteuerung versorgt. Der potentialfreie Schließer der Shelly schließt die seltsam liegenden Kontakte in der Steuerung kurz und fällt nach 1 sec wieder ab (wie Taster).
Allerdings muss man das Manual ganz zu Ende lesen, um zu erfahren, dass der eine seltsam liegende Kontakt, je nach Dipschalterstellung, ggf. eine Lichtschrankefunktion darstellt. Ist der Schalter offen wie bei Shelly im Ruhezustand reagiert die Steuerung gar nicht. Suchste Dich wuschig.

@antoinnesterk what you're at is difficult to do - apparently not attractive enough as a market outside of law enforcement. In my opinion the safety of people with dementia ought to be a prime target for the #homeautomation community...

At least some people work on it.

Home Assistant Community · Bermuda - Bluetooth/BLE Room Presence and tracking [custom integration]Howdy! Bermuda is a custom integration (available via HACS using custom repository) which takes the bluetooth advertisements from ESPHome bluetooth-proxy’s (or shelly devices) in HA, and allows you to track your devices by Area and Distance. Ultimately I plan to use it as a platform to experiment with trilateration / triangulation, locating devices based on relative signal strengths (like building a map of your home based on visible ble devices and their relative distances, solving for all t...

Does anyone know a USB camera which has focus (provides sharp images) starting at 2cm maximum 5cm distance from the front of the lense?

Not a webcam, more for tinkering, like ebay.de/itm/176974679649?_skw=

The data in the usual webshops hardly mentions this technical data.

Background: I want to try some OCR on a Ferraris power meter. (I have the led based method detecting the pass of the red bar. Want to try OCR now.)

July has been jam packed with new additions to the WWHA program - for this month's final addition, Shelly is joining! 🥳

They certified Z-Wave devices like their retrofit smart switches & relays, turning dumb devices into smart ones. 🙌🏻

Gonna re-post my guide for anyone with a Mitsubishi Electric split-system Air con from the last 10ish years, on how to integrate it with Home Assistant/ESPHome for $20 with one extremely easy, reversible, safe hardware addition!
I've been running it without issue for 9 months now, and others have successfully followed my process.

github.com/echavet/MitsubishiC

Original post here: cathode.church/@s0/11350920957

I've used the integration to do stuff like automatically turn off the aircon an hour after I go to sleep, and put an automation so if we leave the house, it'll turn the aircon off in case we forgot. I also built an automation to run it in fan only mode on low for 15 minutes after being on cooling, to evaporate the moisture inside that otherwise leaves to building up mould.

Wanted to note how extremely easy it was to get this working with the M5Stack NanoC6 and one HY2.0-4P cable from them. By coincidence the pinout lines up exactly with pins 2-5 of the Mitsubishi CN1...

Gesucht:
- Zeitschaltuhr
- einstellbar + manuell schaltbar über Funk: WLAN, Bluetooth
- nachweislich keine Cloud oder E.T. Funktionen
- Bedienung über HTTP Server auf dem Gerät (eigentlich natürlich HTTPS😕 ) oder notfalls
- Gammelapp nur wenn's sein muss
- offenes Trivialprotokoll wäre sehr schön
- brauche explizit kein Smarthomeirgendwas

Gibt es sowas, oder muss ich meine Arduinokenntnisse auffrischen?

I wonder how many signatures we could get for an EU initiative that would require manufacturers to sell same quality "dumb" counterparts to their regular "smart" offerings of appliances and electronics, at the same or lower price.

Dumb TVs, washing machines, coffee makers, toothbrushes, etc. that would not require apps, wifi, bluetooth, phoning home, ads, etc.

Remove anything extra that is not required for the core use case of the product.
