It appears to reboot every time, and its immediate by human perception. Thank you for the suggestion. I'll have to study my logic again or maybe refactor it, but I don't think its an infinite loop. I'm not back on site for awhile, so my troubleshooting abilities are limited and since the panel...

Anyone have an experience with NICE motors, as a opposed to Somfy?

No CS monitoring here for years and no previous XEP comm trouble, except...   .. I recently added some new rules that caused my Elk to restart. I would lose comm with the XEP whenever a particular rule activated. Disabling the rule resolved the issue. The subject rule is just a simple counter...

The Raspbee zigbee shield supports 200 bulbs, I beleive.

I understand the OP to mean: use a relay switch (something like Insteon 2477s On/Off switch) to switch the bulbs, smart or dumb, on or off. The "smart" hub, app and bulbs would just control dimming and color (when the circuit is powered on, of course). When the switch is off, the smart bulbs...

Check-out Home Assistant and-or Node Red. I think the ISY folks have an integration solution called polygot, but I'm not familiar with it.

The Cosmod4w is rated for up to 12 smokes. Looking at a project that will require more than 12 smokes. I would like to use Elk M1 and either 2 or 4 wire smokes. How are multiple Cosmod4w connected to the Elk?

You might look into the Ubiquiti Unifi IP Cameras. I've used their network gear for years and am completely happy with it. IDK much about their cameras, but the pricing is good. They recently introduced a doorbell camera and have more 4k stuff coming (currently available to their early access...

I've tested them on a Hue Hub / Node-Red set-up. Didn't bother with the Sengled APP, but can't answer you're question about firmware either. They are comparable to the Hue bulbs. Keep in mind they are End Devices only, not Repeaters. This was done because they assume the light will be on a...

You might look into these: https://store.wirelesstag.net/products/wireless-water-moisture-sensor-2-0   I've got a couple of their temp sensors deployed. Does what its supposed to, but I have not yet tried any 3rd party integrations.    http://www.mytaglist.com/apidoc.html...

Do the new Hikvisions still require ActiveX to view / configure in a browser? I looked into the Ubiquiti Unifi cameras, as I like the unifi network gear. They don't really have many bells and whistles, but they do work without ActiveX I've been messing around with the Blink cameras some. They...

Just replaced a ceiling fan a few months ago. Had no problem finding a traditional AC fan. Maybe some of the high end retailers don't want to show to them to you for a new buid / remodel, because UpSell. But the install base of AC fans is too high for them to not be readiliy available. The only...

Ugg, just spent 30 minutes typing a response, hit submit and the system had logged me out and my post is gone.   Short post, centrilzed DC wiring in a typlical hose doesn't make sense in most cases. Think voltage drop on higher loads and product availablity. POE lighting looks like its coming...

I recall running across a similar product several years ago, but the company & product name escapes me; it wasn't a well known brand. It was a water valve connected to a flow meter. There was a home and away mode.I beleive the ide was to connect it to your alarm system to automatically set the...

Am I understanding this correctly? If you use IP monitoring, you can't do integration?
