Key things coming soon:
More motion sensors have just arrived so hall lights will now be motion activated as well as with a door sensor on the front door to turn on when entering.
Kitchen lights to also potentially be automated although with two circuits therefore two fibaro dimmers it makes it a bit pricey!
Finally am hoping to put a zwave lock plate on the front door for a very discreet lock automation with zero change to locking mechanism.
More ideas and days in the life eagerly appreciated
Update:
Hall lights automated with motion sensor and front door sensor, poor performing light sensors in neo coolcam motion detectors mean I’m just triggering after sunset but works well.
Kitchen lights automated with a fibaro relay switch 2. Two circuits in one small unit after I found I have neutral to the light switches
Now when I return home indigo detects and knows it’s me and unlatched the front door for me leaving me able to simply turn the handle and walk in. No longer needing two hands to turn the key and the handle. Ten minutes later the door auto locks.
If we want to put the door on the latch we have a momentary switch by the door that ‘latches’ it open. A green led indicates this status when the door is open and push notifications are sent if the door is unlocked and none of the family are at home.
Push notifications are also sent to tell the kids when it’s time to bring phones downstairs before bed
Alexa controlled led strips cheap wifi led controller
in place in the boys bedrooms configured to turn on at wake up time
