Hobbyblogging.de<p>Ich habe heute ein bisschen über Automationen im Smart Home philosophiert. Ganz still für mich. Dabei hab ich gemerkt, dass ich echt noch nicht alles umgesetzt habe. Gibt es bei euch auch Automationen, die ihr nie verwirklicht habt? 😂 💡 Lasst uns ne Ideensammlung machen. Ich fang an! ➡️ Automatisches An- und Abschalten der Klimaanlage basierend auf Berechnungen verschiedener Messwerte aus dem Smart Home. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SmartHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SmartHome</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Automation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Automation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/TechInnovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TechInnovation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HomeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HomeAutomation</span></a></p>

Juhis<p>One of my guiding principles when building my home automation stuff is that everything should work offline.</p><p>Often however, when building things with internet enabled, it can lead to accidental dependencies.</p><p>I had an unintended stress test to my system when my ISP shut down my internet earlier this week and I was happy to notice that all my integrations and automations work just fine without internet.</p><p><a href="https://hamatti.org/posts/network-stress-test-for-my-smart-home/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hamatti.org/posts/network-stre</span><span class="invisible">ss-test-for-my-smart-home/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/HomeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HomeAutomation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/SmartHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SmartHome</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Blaugust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Blaugust</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Blaugust2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Blaugust2025</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/blogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blogging</span></a></p>

Andres Bahamondes :mastodon:<p>Siguiendo con mis ideas para <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HomeAssistant</span></a> , hoy llegó el detector de fugas Sonoff SNZB-05P, el que viene con una batería que dura HASTA 5 AÑOS.</p><p>Lo interesante es que no se conecta a WiFi, que ocupa mucha energía y por lo tanto limita la autonomía de los aparatos. En vez de eso, utiliza ZigBee, tecnología que emite packets por radio de forma muy eficiente (WiFi también utiliza ondas radiales, pero requiere más potencia y estar encendido todo el rato).</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HomeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HomeAutomation</span></a></p>
Juhis<p>I've been digging deeper into the rabbit hole of home automation bit by bit and I really like the way Home Assistant separates triggers/inputs and actions/outputs in a way that I can use any HA connected device to control any other HA connected device.</p><p>I added new functionality to my Hue Light Switch as I can now start my gaming setup with one long press (with a separate night mode!).</p><p><a href="https://hamatti.org/posts/i-really-like-home-assistants-triggers-and-actions-model-for-its-flexibility/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">hamatti.org/posts/i-really-lik</span><span class="invisible">e-home-assistants-triggers-and-actions-model-for-its-flexibility/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HomeAssistant</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/HomeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HomeAutomation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/SmartHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SmartHome</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/blogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blogging</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Blaugust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Blaugust</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Blaugust2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Blaugust2025</span></a></p>

David J. Atkinson<p>this is me and Siri and my Aladdin garage door. Siri is always blaming failure to open the door on me (unlock your phone), the door not responding, the network … </p><p>but it is funny when Siri replies, “I’m sorry Dave, I can’t do that.” Almost makes it worth the hassle of pressing the damn button myself.</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/HomeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>HomeAutomation</span></a></p>

Ron Revog<p>20 Jahre alte Garagenmotortechnik in <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Homeautomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Homeautomation</span></a>/-Steuerung zu bringen ist kein Selbstläufer. Habe zwei "Sommer Duo". Die haben die Möglichkeit jeweils separate FB-Tasten für Auf- und Zu zu verwenden. Diesen Modus nutzen wir. Um das ganze via Relais zu schalten habe ich zwei Shelly 1 mini genommen und mit 220V der Garagensteuerung versorgt. Der potentialfreie Schließer der Shelly schließt die seltsam liegenden Kontakte in der Steuerung kurz und fällt nach 1 sec wieder ab (wie Taster).<br>Allerdings muss man das Manual ganz zu Ende lesen, um zu erfahren, dass der eine seltsam liegende Kontakt, je nach Dipschalterstellung, ggf. eine Lichtschrankefunktion darstellt. Ist der Schalter offen wie bei Shelly im Ruhezustand reagiert die Steuerung gar nicht. Suchste Dich wuschig.</p><p><a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Homeassistant</span></a></p>
