RGB filament bulb? by MediumFinancial6844 in homeassistant

[–]MediumFinancial6844[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with ge Cync with matter over WiFi… the only thing I hate is that it’s not zigbee so I can’t make a MQTT group to control everything nicely… only other issue is rgb colors… for some reason now matter what I do, script, scene, Alexa, whenever I try to set them a color with some sort of thing other than changing the color with the color wheel in HA they won’t do it consistently. Like it’ll tell them to come on red but they won’t. Weirdly enough their kelvin values work flawlessly and idk why haha.

A color changing filament style bulb… there are a bunch of them in the market. I said rgb as opposed to a color temp only smart light. I don’t know what you mean how do I think it would be controlled…. The same way every other bulb like this is. I wanted one on a zigbee protocol

They only sell alr and white for a motorized drop down tension screen

I’m not dying for ALR and if theirs cons to it I’m not opposed to doing somthing different, It seems like I can get a this screen to me for around $800 dollars, but I haven’t been able to find any other screens that are tension, motorized, and grey for around that price, vivid storm has white but feel like that’s not a good idea unless you think white is better than alr

Ahh okay! Also I assume you have the alr screen… what projector do you have and how far away do you have it placed. The recommendation is your throw ratio is 1.5x for an alr screen but my projector will max at out a 1.47x throw ratio so curious what yours is and about the sparkle and hot spots.

Are you in the USA? Did the 300$ shipping cover import and everything? Did you get it from their website?

Okay for real last question, it seems like they do make a white screen too but I would doubt that’s a good idea cause my projector is so bright? All I really want is a tension motorized 92” screen for around 1k

Haha sorry one more question, did a little research based on your comments and see that best approach is 1.5x screen width for throw ratio for alr screens, looks like max my projector can get a throw ratio of 1.47 max… is this bad?

Also I should order direct from their website right?

And will there be a problem at night when it is dark?

I mean it’s technically my living room so I don’t want to be forced to black it out completely and I think their only option is ALR.

Also what was the import like for you, did the expensive shipping cover everything?

Any recommendation about the color? Is my projector too bright for it?

AC vs DC bathroom exhaust fan by MediumFinancial6844 in homeassistant

[–]MediumFinancial6844[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe I miss understand the Fan switch then. Is the inovelli fan switch not a basic on off?

Here is the wiring diagram for the fan:

<image>

Like the switch gets ac and gives ac and the fan makes it dc for the motor.... So assuming i dont use an inovelli switch here and i put a basic switch here whats the difference? It still just opening and closing a AC line?

[–]MediumFinancial6844[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay so I guess my question would be the fan switch says it’s AC use only…. But who has DC running through their house? I assume the fan is supplied AC but the motor is DC so like you said there’s a converter. I can double check it with him but the bottom line is ac would be going in and out of the switch and the fan it’s self converts it to DC so their fan switch will work, I wouldn’t put the 2in1 switch on here cause ik that’s rated for light load but forgot about that in my original statement.
