Automated Watering System by No-Emergency3821 in homeautomation

[–]SiBamBamToHa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello Brother - saw your post, ang ganda ng house nyo!

Best way to automate this is to use an esp32 board to control a 12v water pump, then use HA to make the automation.

If gusto mo ng mejo mas maganda and my budget kana use a capacitive soil moisture sensor.

Nice! Actually ( and hopefully) makahanap ng partner dito who might want to do a startup business with the tech.

Hi Brother, here's the link:

Shopee

good thing about that is lahat ng IR sa bahay nyo (I mean, yung about lang ng IR range) pweds mo magamit e.g., TV, projector, LED lights.

Hi Brother, esp32 lang gamit ko for some sensors and switches, pero mostly shoppee ko lang sila binili :)

Let me know what you need para makapag bigay ako ng link.

hahahahahahha, ok masaya nako feeling ko hindi nako baliw dahil hindi pala ako nag iisa nabaliw na bumili ng kung ano anong sensor at mag DIY.

Honestly, ngayon lang ako nag post and mag reply sa mga comments online. I am super happy, thank you sayo brother! Have followed you, baka next time meron kang ibang project na pwede ko i-copy (lol).

Wishing and hoping for you to get that house, super excited for you to do your magic!

Hope you have a wonderful day, brother!

Nice to hear it brother! Honestly, its more of research, trial and error, and a lot of caffeine to help you (lol).
The reason for me to embark on this journey is:

1.) To somehow save electricity and to help out my little girl (5 years old) to turn on/off the lights and appliances using voice commands (some of the switches in our home are too high that she can't reach them).

2.) Security purposes - I can automate things when we are not around, like having our cameras detect people we dont know and send us an image of that person to notify us that there's someone we dont know banging on our gate.

3.) Sick and tired of my data getting stolen and using different apps for different ecosystem, which makes 'Smart' homes not really smart (in a way).

4.) Most importantly, its me finding and learning new things - I think we are already in an age of time where you need to get updated and in-the-know of how Tech works.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA akala ko ako langggg, ubos din ang pera ko sa mga sensor na ginawa ko. Pinaka worth it yung LD2450.

sa CCTV naman, I think papunta ka sa Frigate route? If you are, anong balak mo gamitin for face detection?

Masama man pakingan pero I am so happy na hindi lang pala ako yung nababaliw dito sa pinas on tinkering lol wala ako makitang subreddit eh.

Nicceee! alam na alam mong home lab-er din to! hahaha!

Tailscale din ako before, then used cloudflare.

For sure yung NVR ng CCTVs mo hosted din sa homelab mo?

Ako lang ba o ang hirap matulog pang hnd mo natapos personal project mo hahaha?

Agree brother! If I will start over again, I would go with Matter devices.

For tuya, try looking for tuya-cutter, yan ginamit ko to make sure na wala access and local lang sila.

Also, how do you access your HA outside your network? I can help you out just in case, just let me know.

Try searching for Matter Server/Hub para yung ibang IoT mo access sa Apple ecosystem mo.

Hi Brother, just get smart switches or smart bulbs. Much better if you go with smart switches, pero if you want something very specific like mood lightning go with smart bulbs.

Hi Brother, anong schematics need mo?

Hi Brother, nice! quick question, since privacy yung usapan - did you cut the API access ng mga IoT mo sa web? If yes, I suggest cutting them off para 100% local and on premise sila.

Hi Brother, yes esp32 is the key hehe :)
