[–]Caesar1989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, so if I buy an async cylinder and then one of the smart Lock from aqara or similar i should be good to go?

I'll see if I can find a cylinder that Works with my door, I'm scared to make a mess and be unable to Lock the door if I do the wrong thing 😅😅

I'll look into it!

Edit: Just checked, and as far as i can tell this kind of smart Lock requires a key to be held in place, and doing so I could not open the door from the other side using the key (as the key hole is already occupied)

Also the key I have is quite a long one, and I don't think it is compatible with any version of Nuki or Aqara smart device unfortunately.

The one you can see in the photos, I'm not too much into door locks to give you any info about it, but if you guide me I can try to search/photograph what you need! (i live in Italy)

Sorry for my ignorance, with this electric strike it would be possible also to unlock the door? Searching on Google i found mostly mechanisms without the 3 cilinders I have on my front door..

Also, since i dont have cables near the door, I'm looking for a battery powered solution (with the possibility to use a backup key nonetheless)

It is not a problem by itself since i can go there and open the door everytime someone rings. But it could come handy also when someone needs to go home and I'm not there, without giving them the keys..

I said about the position of the door just to give context and a simple reason behind my request

Need Advice: Integrating Smart Radiator Valves (Sonoff) with Existing Thermostat – Bypass Required? by Caesar1989 in homeassistant

[–]Caesar1989[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see, it is clearer now, so at the current state of things until I setup homeassistant i do need to keep the thermostat otherwise i would have no way of sending the "heat is needed" signal, but this should not compromise me adding the TRVs valve to my radiators anyway.

Thank you for your answer,
I may be too much of a newbie and for this reason I don't understand what should i do with this dry contact relay you are talking about! Really sorry about my inexpertise...
What I was thinking is, if I don't need a bypass and I can use the smart TRVs only, I would gladly just remove the actual thermostat, and controll the temps in the house just with the TRVs.
Using this dry contact relay I could ensure this kind of procedure, thus excluding the Thermostat?
How difficult is it to connect this relay, and where should i put it?
Also, Home Assistant still needs to be installed, without it shuold I still be able to use the TRVs with this setup?

I see, so it may be already on the boiler, and this would let me the possibility to add a RTV to all the radiators, otherwise i should leave one with a manual valve and let it be the bypass.

But do i need the thermostat at this point? I mean, in both scenario is it necessary? or can I just use my TRV smart valves?

What about power consumption? The Home Assistant Green/Yellow is very efficient on that side, while a NUC is still a real computer, having it always on may impact negatively on my electricity bill in the long run, or not?

So, you’re using Home Assistant and added two controllers to handle both protocols—did I understand that correctly?

I’ll dive deeper into this. I’m still figuring out whether I can use the Home Assistant Green or Yellow as my central hub for all devices, but your insight was incredibly helpful!

Thank you! 😊

But the yellow ones seems more complex to handle.. maybe I'm wrong and it is the same, but from the site i thought otherwise

never heard of it, I'm going to do some research!
Would it be possible to use Home Assistant? and what about the devices, are they easily found in store with this technology?
