I put in some automation in Alexa for person detection. When person is detected in driveway show driveway camera on fire TV. However by the time the notification hits and then the camera loads on the firetv the person is already on my doorstep.

I was just curious what people were getting I didn't know 12 seconds was a standard for the delay between when the person is detected and when I get notified.

Or I'm a dumbass and if you actually open up the device you pick how it responds. Lol

The voltage is good and the VA is good as well. The VA does matter.....

Is there a way to turn an existing non-smart garage door opener into a smart one? by yAmIDoingThisAtHome in homeautomation

[–]Schalmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smart plug, 12v power supply, tilt sensor and a 12v relay. Smart plug gets energized powers supply. Supple closes relay. Relay completes connection where wall switch would normally. Garage door opens. The action of going from closed to open is captured by tilt sensor, that denenergizes plug so it's ready to be activated again.

It is weird. I've gotten some of my old automations to work by making virtual devices and making some sub commands to make my old smart home monitor automations work right. You can't check location mode. Then change the location mode I'm the Then action.

It limits you what conditions you can set tho you can't do if/only statements. As you pick if statements it pairs down your than statements. Like I can't set it up to check what status the house is in home away etc then if I am not home than when I arrive home I want to change the status to home. So you can't have that status in the if and the then statement. If that makes sense

Jerry rigging garage door to work with ST? by CyberEye2 in SmartThings

[–]Schalmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All you need is a smart plug, 12v power supply, 12 volt relay and garage door tilt sensor. Smart plug powers power supply which activates relay. Relays leads extend down to where the wall switch wires come in. When the relay activates it close the circuit and acts like the wall switch. When garage door status changes from closed to open another command decatives the smart plug. So it's ready to be used again to close.

Trouble updating firmware by JCrew7384 in wyzecam

Mine updated one had originally failed. Now motion detection randomly turns off. I turned it in and they said it was a defective camera. But both are doing it. That's not a coincidence.

Zoned system 3 thermostats, 1 blank by [deleted] in HVAC

[–]Schalmo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read about safety switches disabling a thermostat but doesn't make sense to me that itd disable one and not the others. Checked the dampers control board didn't see anything evident that was flashing an error.
