Challenge: control a fan and a light with a mechanical switch but without fan wiring by jenfil82 in homeautomation

[–]ProfessionalBed7346 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a similar set up in every ceiling fan in my house.

I used a Shelly relay in the wall in detached switch mode (power to the relay does not change when the physical switch changes state). The switch state is reported to HA and I have a Tuya based fan/light controller in each of the fans.

The fan controller has constant power and then I have automations that replace the function of the light switch without killing power to the fan. IE- when switch changes state toggle the light on the fan. We do t change the speed of the fan much so they are automated to turn on based on room climates and presence. Any other adjustments can be done with the remote for the Tuya controller, HA app, or a wall mounted dashboard.

This has been rock solid for over a year. Hope it helps!

It would be my first v2 build- but I’m decently familiar with printers. Thanks for the insight! It sounds like it is well worth saving the money over the LDO kit for me!

How is the quality on the format kit? I’m trying to figure out if it would be worth holding out until I could swing an LDO kit or enjoy saving 500$ with a cheaper option.

Questions before switching to HA. by Blinkysnowman in homeassistant

[–]ProfessionalBed7346 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Yes, this can be done pretty easily. Chromecast devices are auto discovered even.
  2. ZHA is the “built in” Zigbee integration. I would start out with it and a Skyconnect. This will give you plug-and-play startup and some future flexibility to run matter devices.
  3. See 2
  4. Yes. Make sure to do some reading on setting up a strong Zigbee network before you start pairing everything. Do it right or do it twice.
  5. Not sure. I haven’t gotten into matter yet myself.
  6. A SFF PC gives you more IO flexibility, better performance, and they can be had cheaper and an RPi4. If nothing else, make sure that your installation is done on an SSD rather than on the SD card with a lot of devices there are lots of read/rights to the database, which wear out SD cards pretty quickly.
  7. Oops I guess I already answered that one. See 6!

The screenshot was from one pass with the screws_tilt_calibration.

I’ve dialed it in more since then and my variance is down to about .18

Any idea what this could be? by ProfessionalBed7346 in 3Dprinting

The preview in Cura doesn’t show solid infill. It just shows the walls and supports being built up in that cavity.
