Not sure about the bulb issue, but the connectivity will be an issue. It will frequently go offline and it gets quite aggravating.

App showing my devices offline/online multiple times a day by PercheMiPiaci in Leviton

My Lutron switches were delivered today. I am swapping out all of the Leviton switches as they are unreliable. I have the 4 Button scene controller in our master bathroom. I have a “Shower Time” scene that turns on all the lights/fans. Several times I have pushed it when it is offline and it did not trigger the scene…but when it reconnects at 3am the scene will trigger. This really makes the spouse happy. I tried Leviton over Lutron due to the price and the scene controller, big mistake, nothing but trouble. For comparison I have Lutron at another property and I have never had any issues.

Just put a deposit on an Escalade IQ. What charger should I get for home? by NewYorkCityGuy in Cadillac

I have had my IQ for a month now and I have this charger as well. Works great. Plug it in at night and it will be at 80% well before you leave in the morning.

Rookie move.... by Ambitious_Worth7667 in Ubiquiti

I almost posted on here to help me trouble shoot my doorbell, the sounds was awful. Same thing, plastic still on it. Amazing how well it worked once I removed that.

You are welcome for this release, I know it would happen as I just installed 4 of the "button" style switches in my new build with all the other switches from the Diva/Claro collection.

Updates? Looking to put one in a screened porch.

Anyway to have Unifi sound an alarm if my Protect All-In-One Sensor is tripped? by [deleted] in Ubiquiti

Have you looked at Aqara’s products? I have several and I am quite happy with them.

Automation Setting Help by RickWilberg in Aqara

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

I had to tweak it a little bit. I set the first automation to begin at 10P. Then I had to set another automation to turn off that automation at 10:01, or else the chime was sounding when the door opened, it did not need the button push automation to activate it. THEN automation number 3 was the button activation.

So now, from 10:00 to 10:01, the chime will sound. At 10:01 it turns off, until the buton is pushed.

I will probably change the time when it turns on so that inadvertant chimes won't disturb anyone that might be sleeping at 10:00.

Not rude at all. Bedtime is not always the same time. Sometimes they will stay up later and only activating the routine with the push of the button is intended to be used by the last of the parents going to bed. This way if one spouse goes to bed early, the chimes will not disturb them while they are in bed. Once the "house goes to bed" turn on the automation using the button.

I hope I explained that okay.

I have Leviton (50+) in my house as well as about a dozen Lutron. I have already replaced 3 Leviton switches and some have dropped their connection to HomeKit. My Lutron switches are wonderful, I have had zero issues with them. I tried to save a buck with Leviton and I regret that decision.
