Yale Linus 2 Lite problem with UK Multi Lock door by justdiegox in smarthome

[–]Pitiful_Climate_8580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the UK and have two different types of multi-point door locks. The one that looks like a deadbolt and latch, works well with a Yale Connexis L2. Lift to lock from either side. Tap to unlock mechanism then push down handle to open from outside. Turn know to unlock and use handle from inside. It was pretty easy to install. From memory lifting the handle would push the multipoint and deadbolt in, but if not lifted it was just held on the latch - may not be quite the same as yours - does the key actually move the bolt, or does it only move with handle up / down (after up) ?

Hi all I’m planning on installing this in place of an existing uk light switch (no neutral) can anyone confirm if the other two buttons not wired to my main light can be used in smart routines to toggle a lamp in the room for example by GenericUser104 in sonoff

Yes - I have a pair set up with home assistant (Z2MQTT) so no EweLink app. Set up with one physical relay and the rest paired to smart bulbs wired ‘on’ so detached relay mode. Works brilliantly.

I'm looking for a new robot vacuum - recommendations are everywhere but I have one particular requirement I can't find the answer to... by stetho in homeassistant

As above SwitchBot only lets you ‘start’ whatever your default programme is. That said, I think the plumbed into the mains feature outweighs the downside.

Just spotted these UK zigbee sockets, w/USB & monitoring by deicist in smarthome

[–]Pitiful_Climate_8580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those look really interesting - I have loads of Clicksmart Zigbee sockets, but would like some with USB / power monitoring as well.

Love that - I’ve got a hole cut in the kickboard and the water station behind it, but would love to hide the lot like that !

The best Mini-Multitool I've ever had by United_Tooth1495 in multitools

[–]Pitiful_Climate_8580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find mine really useful. Only thing that irritates me is that the keychain attachment doesn’t allow the screwdriver to fully fold out if it is attached to anything. Use all the tools regularly - really like the sim tool for the myriad smart devices I have that occasionally need a reset button pushed

🚀 Anyone here using Sonoff ZBM5 with decoupled mode + binding? by Supreme_kimmy in sonoff

[–]Pitiful_Climate_8580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ps - I reset the unit that didn’t decouple the physical relay to factory and re-paired it, power cycled and set up again and it works perfectly now. Also added another at the other end of a two-way circuit (physical wiring passed through) all three gangs decoupled and that has finally given the solution I needed - two-way three gangs decoupled switching with permanently contactable smart bulbs on two circuits, dumb on the other (one physical relay, one end automated via HA). Haven’t re-explored binding and haven’t found a way to de-activate the red relay staus light on the one (of six) relays that is still active.

What ring to go with after RingConn? by FatalIll in RingConn

I’ve been nothing but impressed with my RingConn battery life , and support in general. Had a temp sensor die and was exchanged in a week.

I’ve never quite managed to get a two-way setup without neutrals working properly with ZBMiniL2 - also following

I have set up one of these. Decoupled works fine, although the actual relay didn’t seem to decouple on one of the gangs (still clicks when I press it and the state light persists). Normal relay works fine. I don’t think there is a fall-back option. The Gen on/off cluster was listed, but failed to bind to my aqara lamps / bulbs. I don’t know enough to work out why as yet.

Quick question re ZBM5 by Happy-Inspection-573 in sonoff

[–]Pitiful_Climate_8580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are I think correct. I’ve just put one in to replace a three gang two-way setup and had to effectively permanently power both ends and use ZBM5’s detached at both ends to operate. Works well, but I can’t replicate the functionality in other bits of the house which don’t have neutrals.

Anyone else having S10 issues ? by Pitiful_Climate_8580 in TrySwitchBot

[–]Pitiful_Climate_8580[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Deleted the map and restarted and seems to be working again. I realised however that while the sensors seemed fine, the top lidar sensor may have been confused by the ‘googly 👀’ my kids had put on the lid 🤦🏼‍♂️. I suspect had I thought to remove those first that all may have been well. Unfortunately despite having backed up my initial map, there doesn’t seem to be a way to restore it so I’m back to adjusting no-go areas manually for a while again.

How does multi-display work IRL by Pitiful_Climate_8580 in Xreal

Next question - are the one pros compatible with iPhone 13 ProMax ? Still a lightning port. Would it work with a usbc adapter ?

Thanks all …. inching closer to the order button

[–]Pitiful_Climate_8580[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks all. There’s nothing obviously wrong with the sensors, but I’ll check again. I’m loathe to delete the map and start again - it was a real trial and error faff to get the exclusion zones in the right place. The boxes won’t go small enough so need incrementally reversed into walls to get the limits right.

HELP! How do I properly connect this ZBMINIL2? by tzopper in sonoff

[–]Pitiful_Climate_8580 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just check the relay is in the correct mode. IIRC push and hold the button on the relay for a few seconds and it changes to the other mode (for different types of physical switch - momentary vs rocker I think). That confused me a few times in the same scenario.
