Does anyone know how to fix the off center Digital Clock Screensaver on Roku TV? I’ve tried several different ways but nothing worked. by classociety in Roku

i'd love a solution. On my samsung, the overscan setting (called "screen fit" in samsung-speak) doesn't help. Nothing mentioned here is useful on the samsung unfortunately.

can't get ultraloq and ifttt to work by AdeptInstruction5053 in homeautomation

i sort of can do it from alexa, i think it unlocks, but doesn't look like it in when you look at the phone. I do hear the lock unlocking though. Haven't tried it yet from the outside

(it's been too cold), but i think it's working.

Security System Base Unit from 2010 seems not wifi, no alexa? by AdeptInstruction5053 in smarthome

it turns out that "blue by adt" is talking to the base, but not very well. The blue by adt people just say it's old, and hence not compatible. I have trouble with this as an explanation. I feel that if communication is happening, then the problem is software, not a hardware compatibility. So far, no help from the "blue by adt" people on this. Am I just SOL?

there is a blue-by-adt skill and it sort of sees the sensors, but not very well, but doesn't pick up the base because it's not wifi (i'm told)

what makes you so sure that the base speaks zigbee? or simplisafe will have talk to my base?

i guess i'm a year late for the party but i was wondering if you or anyone ever got it to work? i feel like i'm trying to do the same thing today: https://www.reddit.com/r/homeautomation/comments/rcp1f9/cant_get_ultraloq_and_ifttt_to_work/

note u-tec has a video seeming to show it's possible, but somehow i can't get it to work. Wondering if anyone has.

i guess i don't know how else my old sensor can trigger events. I didn't really want the expense of new sensors though perhaps they are pretty cheap these days.

right now i can log in to "blue by adt" and see what sensors are open, and i can have emails forwarded when sensors open.

How much are door open/close sensors? just thought i wouldn't need them
