    Anyone with a Hubitat?

    Are you using the Hubitat API app on the Hubitat Hub to expose devices to Homebridge? Does Homebridge have a similar function? Here I use Home Assistant as primary and Hubitat as secondary. Hubitat has organic Zigbee and Zwave, has some easier to use calendar based triggers, allows setting up...

    HAI Hardwire Expander and Expansion Board

    The hardwire expanders need different addresses. That was never well documented.

    Wiring two smart switches in parallel to the same load

    Pete, I got my plugins reset by Homeseer and installed and the SEL looks like its communicating ok. So ill have to set everything back up. Right now I have a keyboard and monitor connected to it. Can I open an SSH port in the SEL in the same manner as I do with Raspberry Pi? I'll hold off on...

    Wiring two smart switches in parallel to the same load

    No, I am on an AT&T cellular SIM in a modem feeding my LAN. Every device reports different public IP address. I'm not talking the 192.168.xxx.xxx internal IP address. One device might be 10.72.67.123 Another reports 72.32.67.234 Those are not the real IP addresses of anything,, including the...

    Wiring two smart switches in parallel to the same load

    What's my IP returns different results on different devices on my network. When I first changed over and discovered my DDNS no longer worked, I did some research and learned the cell towers don't pass the true IP address for security reasons. I'll take the advice of getting HS3 back up and...

    Pete I appreciate the posts, you're beyond my geek level in understanding the networking side of things.

    Wiring two smart switches in parallel to the same load

    So I got into the SEL box locally. Did a factory reset, started up, got inside.  Couldn't register the software.   User the Homeseer registrition recovery link to make sure I had the right info. On THAT list was a SECOND SEL password and registration ID.  That one got me in the system. I...

    Wiring two smart switches in parallel to the same load

    I'm not using a VPN, but assumed that is how services like Ring and Sense are getting out into the cloud. So I assumed the find.homeseer.com/findhomeseer/ site was doing the same. It won't find my SEL, so I don't know where to start. My SEL has been collecting dust for a year.

    Wiring two smart switches in parallel to the same load

    As a kludgy work around specifically for the security flood lights, I think I can link up a cheap Echo compatible switch to a 120V relay, and have the relay dry contact output feed an Omni zone. Then have the Omni issue UPB commands. That works for one set of lights, or one scene, but quickly...

    Wiring two smart switches in parallel to the same load

    My Omni Pro II installation and my house has all UPB devices. I was able to integrate voice control via Amazon Echo through a Raspberry Pi using Fauxmo to emulate a wemo device. With that i could issue voice commands and the Pi would send UPB commands out its serial port. This worked well...

    Wiring two smart switches in parallel to the same load

    Hmmm... Gotta figure this out a different way. Thanks

    Wiring two smart switches in parallel to the same load

    Been a while since I've been on the forum.   I have a question about wiring two smart switches (using different technologies) to the same load in parallel. So that if either switch was activated the load would operate. If I wire the load sides of the switches together, so that either one can...

    Why Are All Automation Engines These Days Trigger Based?

    Omni programming would stack those triggers IF X SECURE IF Y SECURE AND IF X SECURE AND IF Y SECURE THEN Z If either is true evaluate if both are true, then perform the action if they are. It's essentially monitoring the state of both X and Y every pass through the loop. A...

    upb : replacing three way switches.

    You can always use one switch as a load controller, and another as a link transmitter and avoid the 3 way switch and setup alltogether.
