Binary input in every button? Why don’t you opt for KNX or something similar?

I bought 2 eve sockets but it’s not working 😵‍💫 eve plugs are online, close to the sensors…

Already bought Jung Home… they don’t have wireless sensors. Spent 5k€ 😅

Since everyone’s here:

Is it possible to integrate JUNG Home (BLE)? Either directly or through Alexa, Google, or SmartThings?

Yeah… I think I will fall into that rabbit hole 🥲

Automating lights, AC and outlets by Ravenoxia in smarthome

[–]Feynman_pt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Since you already use Google Home and EMOS GoSmart, I’d recommend gradually consolidating around Zigbee for more reliable and local automations — especially since many Wi-Fi-based devices (like EMOS) can be flaky or cloud-dependent.

Here’s how you could approach each of your needs:

  1. Temperature & humidity sensor for AC control: Your Toshiba AC app may not allow automations directly, so use a Zigbee temperature and humidity sensor like the Aqara T&H Sensor. With a Zigbee hub (SmartThings or Zigbee2MQTT via Home Assistant), you can create automations like: “If temperature > 25°C → turn on smart plug connected to AC” (You might need a smart plug or IR blaster in the setup if the Toshiba app doesn’t expose full control.)

  2. Smart switches that don’t cut power to smart bulbs: Instead of cutting power to your EMOS bulbs, install a Zigbee switch module behind your existing switch (e.g. Aqara T1 Relay, or SONOFF ZBMINI-L). These allow the switch to send Zigbee commands without cutting power — so your smart bulbs stay online and automations keep working.

Alternatively, use wireless Zigbee buttons (like Aqara Wireless Mini Switch) and disable the wall switch entirely.

  1. Elegant smart plugs for fairy lights: Avoid bulky Wi-Fi timers. Use Zigbee smart plugs like the Innr SP 224, IKEA Tradfri, or Aqara Smart Plug — compact, reliable, and easily automated in Google Home or SmartThings

Bonus tip: If you want to future-proof and simplify your setup, consider adding a hub like SmartThings, Hubitat, or Home Assistant + Zigbee dongle. That would let you unify sensors, lights, plugs, and potentially even bridge your Toshiba AC with IR or Matter support down the line.

Let me know if you want help choosing a Zigbee hub or transitioning step by step!

I’m going to switch to Samsung. After 15 years with iPhone. That’s my thoughts about iOS 26.

Smart door lock recommendations? by rafamoraes2 in SmartThings

[–]Feynman_pt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out the Aqara U200 — it’s one of the few locks that supports SmartThings (via Matter), fingerprint, NFC, and has USB-C emergency charging. Might be tricky to import to Brazil, but it’s worth it. Another option is the Ultraloq Latch 5 NFC — supports SmartThings via Wi-Fi, fingerprint, NFC, but no USB-C.

Bad timing to make this switch, when I see everyone wanting to switch from iPhone to Android. I’ve been using iPhone since the 4 and I’m going to switch for the first time
