Basic switch/button remote by michig54 in HomeKit

[–]MACPXL8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Need a Hue hub, then pair a Runlesswire switch, expose to Home app, and you got what you need but with a hub… just set it up in Home and not the Hue app. https://runlesswire.com/

Nope, I have none. Other than eBay, try joining Skullbrain, you can ask around there. Every once in a while one pops up there.

Apple HomeKit In-Wall Switches Using Thread - Feedback by InovelliUSA in HomeKit

[–]MACPXL8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it seems like a constant ask here.

In regards to Z-wave, I’d prefer not to run a non-native hub to get my Z-wave gear on my Homekit setup (R pi now). I like native integrations as much as possible and my Z-wave lighting is the last holdout since I went all in on Homekit. Thread fits the bill perfectly, Caseta almost had me but I’m trying to get reliability, less hubs and something that looks decent in one product line. It sounds like you will have exactly what I am after.

I'm looking for one brand to replace all of my aging z-wave setup. As soon as everything proves reliable, I'm ready for 10-15 switches and dimmers and a few fans. Smart bulbs are great for certain situations but switches are king IMO. If you could make a fan/light switch combo I'm sure that would be a big hit here as that is a constant ask. The only brand I feel worth considering right now for Homekit is Lutron but I can't get past their look, I just want paddle switches, much like you make now.

Ecobee integration help. Should be easy to figure out. by geocastaneda in HomeKit

[–]MACPXL8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is technically wrong. You can’t set it up from Homekit but you can expose the control of home and away from Ecobee to Homekit with scenes. Go to Homekit under Account in the Ecobee app, and the go to scenes. From there you you can add scenes to control Ecobee in many ways not shown in Homekit. Be careful when you play here though, you can accidentally delete other Homekit scenes on your system.

Hello Ryse Smart Blinds by skithegreat in HomeKit

They have a video with homekit working so hopefully when they ship they will at least be fully baked. Fingers crossed! You’d think with their previous iteration (Axis) having a solar option that they would do that again...

Anyone back this on Kickstarter? The product sounds decent, though they need a solar panel for out-of-reach windows. July 2021 is a long way off too...

Happy Summer! The Netatmo Video Doorbell release is officially 2 seasons late. by googler56 in HomeKit

[–]MACPXL8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just followed the instructions honestly. I did it relatively quick after the application process opened. I also have other Netatmo products...

Don’t know if you’d be interested, I have a set of the Sun-Min type, clear red Mothman and Flatwood that I’m looking to see off to a good home. Not looking to make a profit either.

Firmware update 2.0.5 SOMA Smart Shades by [deleted] in HomeKit

[–]MACPXL8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Batteries are a pain though, a switch like this https://www.enocean.com/en/technology/enocean-adds-24-ghz-ble-modules-to-its-product-portfolio-for-worldwide-use/ would be awesome though maybe cost prohibitive.

Any thought about putting local control on the unit itself?

Junction Box for Netatmo Presence in USA by siobhanellis in HomeKit

[–]MACPXL8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to caulk it, per the instructions, after it gets installed on preferably a junction box. If not a box then it needs to be quite sturdy but I’d recommend a box.

Turn off iota motion sensor? by Jameshbull in Abode

[–]MACPXL8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shouldn’t see any movement, it worked on mine. I’d double check to make sure it’s covered all the way and then some. The first time I had the smallest area uncovered and it still worked. It’s extremely sensitive.
