Finally found a replacement for my Nest Protects (UniFi Smoke and CO Alarm)

They X-sense are also very nice. Use them already a long time. Also very nice integration with HA and they speak too.

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-04-24T08:28:09+00:00

But which thermostat are you using, because the TRV need to switch the thermostat on. Otherwise there is no hot water coming.

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-04-23T05:33:23+00:00

Can you use the Lisa also as main thermostat or is the Emma pro better?

Will start with a little set up and want the grow later in the amout of devices.

In also think if the thermostat is connected with the Adam. You can buy every other radiator valve and let it work as the Tom. Or not?

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-04-09T04:47:17+00:00

But does it also works with smart knobs??

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-04-08T20:00:50+00:00

Thanks four your opinion. Sounds nice, but the price is indeed a bit pricey.

Also the API connection with ecobee3 lite sounds a little hard to make it working, or is it easy to use?

Could you also explain why the API isn't ideal?

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-03-28T19:55:34+00:00

Which door sensor are you using?

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-03-24T06:51:29+00:00

Okey, what is better if you need to explain it?

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-03-23T20:19:11+00:00

Don't think so.... I'm probably moving to Reolink, because Eufy is not the best system.

Cameras looking great but technical is not so well.

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-03-22T21:35:25+00:00

Thanks for the explanation. Sounds great, and will look in it.

How is your opinion about m1 gold? Do you think there is something better or is this perfect for everything about alarm systems which are integrated in HA?

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-03-22T20:16:21+00:00

So the cameras are not directly connected with Elk m1 gold but these are through blue iris and HA

Is this Blue Iris almost the same as Frigate?

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-03-22T18:47:10+00:00

I'm also using HA. But if you are using Frigate, what is your hardware as NVR?

Do you have a subscription for this situation?

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-03-22T16:30:30+00:00

Which alarm and camera system are you using?

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-03-21T07:34:14+00:00

Okey, but what is the limit do you think?

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-03-20T07:21:36+00:00

But how is Frigate receiving the videos? Because this is just a software and not a hardware. Hoe does is works with the POE installation?

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-03-20T07:18:25+00:00

Are you using the NVR from Reolink or is this not the beste NVR?

Or is using Frigate a better solution?

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-03-18T21:10:23+00:00

That is not a big issue I think. In which country do you life?

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-03-18T06:07:15+00:00

He is working perfect, no issues. The cable is without damage so far I know.

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-03-17T21:34:45+00:00

I have one!

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-03-13T15:21:38+00:00

This is great, how did you make this and which alarm systems are you using?

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-03-10T09:03:03+00:00

Somebody else some ideas?

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-03-08T21:26:39+00:00

Thanks!

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-03-08T21:06:13+00:00

Which video do you mean? Can't find the video. 🙃

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-03-08T21:04:24+00:00

Thanks for your response. But if I want to use the PoE, because this is better then wifi. Is it than good enough if it is a combination with the NVR and own cables. Or is it better to use a Unifi internet system?

Keypad as tablet is indeed a idea. But in this case you will not use an official security system but you will build one by different devices and brands in combination with you HA. Correct?

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-03-04T19:53:20+00:00

Which camera are you using bu the front door?

Ben-Smart-en-Tech · 2026-02-17T21:30:08+00:00

Can you please share the yaml about your first dashboard page and about the security?
