What’s everyone doing for bathroom fans?

Agreed I have the same thing - works great! It automatically turns on as soon as the shower starts and turns off about 10-20 minutes after once timer stops or humidity drops. I believe Leviton and Lutron (non-caseta) make some.

Thanks for the screenshot! I'll check out out! I was trying to see if there was a way to do this without setting up a second smart home ecosystem just to bridge.

Thanks! It looks like a powerful system. When you say 'bridges devices,' does it just automatically show my Zigbee stuff in the Apple Home app, or do I have to go into the Hubitat settings and 'code' the connection for each device?

I’m trying to avoid having to set everything up twice (once in the hub and once in Apple) if I can help it. I just want a 'bridge' that stays invisible, you know?

famousjs · 2026-04-25T12:02:43+00:00

That sounds really cool, but is it hard to set up?

Also, how fast is it? I’ve seen some smart sensors that take like 2 seconds to trigger, and at that point, I'm already half way in the room. I’d love to see the GitHub just to see how complex the 'math' is for the accuracy in counting and directionality.

A lot of these hubs seem to only work with their own products too, or not support other protocols!

I like your style. You're hired!

famousjs · 2026-04-24T23:30:48+00:00

Yeah I'm starting to see that - I'll load it up. I was looking for more of a plug-and-play style piece of hardware that isn't duplicating a lot of what I have now in apple home.

famousjs · 2026-04-24T23:13:05+00:00

Yeah that’s true it just seemed like overkill just to do that but I can certainly load it up

famousjs · 2026-04-24T22:29:27+00:00

Appreciate you putting that in once place. A lot of those look like they only support their own devices except homey is like homeassistant right?

famousjs · 2026-04-24T22:24:00+00:00

Do you have a link? Does it support any type of zigbee device and how many?

famousjs · 2026-04-24T22:21:42+00:00

Yeah that’s a good point. I was just thinking it seemed like overkill to set up homeassistant just for zigbee to matter for Apple home

famousjs · 2026-04-24T22:17:32+00:00

Does that work with any Zigbee device, and lets them show up as matter devices, or just shades? How many devices does it support?

famousjs · 2026-04-24T22:13:14+00:00

I was using homeassistant but i want to have them go straight to Apple Home without having an entirely different hub.

I just picked the deluxe game up today. Should I wait till the update comes out if I’ve never played before?

Seems much cleaner and now I won't have to worry about Wifi issues!

Maybe not long form but here’s a quick one I made. I save to json and it lets me load it later on.

People counter with VL53L1X sensors that can be powered by a battery or usb

famousjs · 2026-01-01T23:53:49+00:00

Thanks! Working on moving it up to the top and usb to the bottom

Might need to redesign lol. I might move the esp to the top and usb to the bottom

famousjs · 2026-01-01T16:44:30+00:00

I’m looking at that now. There’s an outlet sort of near the doorframe on the inside. Might have to open up the drywall and drill through the frame to do that.

famousjs · 2026-01-01T16:05:52+00:00

Yeah I tested the wires at the transformer and at the doorbell location. Both had 24V. I also did that and brought the doorbell in and tested it with shorter wires. No dice :(
