One of the comm modules for newer DSC does have a serial home automation interface, but Control4 may be the only authorized integration. All of...

    Mailbox Jacked, Camera Disguise Questions

    You can also set pre-recording if using BI so the camera is recorded continuosly into memory and the system then records the memory section as well if a trigger is received. I use this on my cameras set to 5 seconds as often in my situation, the person won't trigger the camera until quite close...

    Mailbox Jacked, Camera Disguise Questions

    What is your ultimate goal? Are you going to bother looking at every alert that comes from that box and confirm its a resident? Otherwise, what's the point, the plates will be obscured or stolen...you might want some type of zwave like sensor that triggers when your box is opened...

    anyone have an app or way to open a gate when a camera alerts you of the presence of a vehicle with something like

    ...to set up a PTZ preset on you camera that sends out an MQTT or HTTP message to your home automation system that would open a gate, etc. Gate latch/switch could be controlled with zwave or zibgee or even directly if already wired. Its definitely doable but presumes a lot of stuff already in...

    Multiple switch control

    Multiple switch control

    ...away from it when they dropped WebCore support. I settled on Hubitat for smart home automation/control and couldn't be happier. I use mostly Zwave devices, with some Zigbee. There is the option in Hubitat to create mirror rules. I use this to create "3-way circuits" where I have a smart...

    Amcrest AD410: at a loss, how to make an intercom display in my bedroom?

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I've been playing around with the doorbell press trigger in Blue Iris as well. Great find on the "RuleEngine/MyRuleDetector/Visitor" ONVIF trigger. Since I also have motion triggers setup (in Blue Iris), I cloned the camera to get ONVIF events and am only trying to capture doorbell presses via...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    ...press for now. I don't want to depend on Reolink's motion detection. I will either use BI's motion trigger + CodeProject AI, or use one of the zwave motion detectors to trigger when someone is on the porch. Seeing some weird delays with the trigger occasionally (should be instant IMHO), so I...

    smart thermostats & remote access

    ...of your thermostat to something you hate or change who they sell your data to. If that's not what you're looking for, then a thermostat with zwave or zigbee is probably your best bet. You'll just have to build out a home automation system to interface with it. One caution, some of these...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    I use Hubitat and miss having my doorbell integrated into it with my reolink. I previously had a nest and it worked perfectly, turning on my porch lights when an visitor arrives + announcements on my sonos. It's the one thing missing for me and a shame there's no integration and i don't think...

    New Reolink Wired POE Doorbell Cam ?

    When I get a little free time, I plan to open up the plug in chime to see what the circuit board looks like. I may tap into the speaker output with a Fibaro Smart Implant (zwave) to bring the db alerts into my home automation (Hubitat).

    Beware of Z-Wave 700 series controllers

Since I decommissioned all of my zigbee devices over the years, and have a zwave node that always struggles to communicate (tool shed farther away), I decided to try an upgrade to see if I could hit the shed better (and be...

    Instead of a zwave solution, they're using the Z-String remote solution. :)

    API call to Dahua camera when connected to POE of NVR

    ...for your quick but clear answer. Is it possible to control the sound and light of the cameras by sending api strings to the NVR? Otherwise i have 3 options that i can do: using a NVR without POE Bridge the VLAN of the NVR to LAN Using the alarm input wired to a Zwave switch any other options?

    Selling house and need to swap in cheap cams

I just installed a bunch of Zooz zwave switchs, and I've decided if I ever sell, they are going with me. Only takes a couple minutes per switch to swap out. Most folks simply are not...

    Smart locks - more invasion of privacy?

    It's way easier to bump or pick 99 percent of locks on the market. Yale makes a version of it's smart lock that has no keyhole. It's bump proof as a result. They have a zwave compatible model so you can run everything locally.

    Blue Iris controlling home automation

    That's really the crux of it. The home automation software handles the management of the Z-Wave devices and provides a mechanism for automating control of those devices when events occur. MQTT allows other software, such as Blue Iris, a straightforward way to send those events to the home...

    Blue Iris controlling home automation

    Thanks for sharing. This looks pretty cool and definitely a decent option. I was also wondering if there was a way to tap into the eco systems of all the popular zwave type devices?

    Blue Iris controlling home automation

    ...on etc. Not sure what options might be available or if there was a best way of doing this? What I found so far is the BI supports MQTT, so maybe this combined with something like a Homeseer PI would be a good way to be able to control ZWave devices? Any thoughts on this would be appreciated!

    Looking for feedback and testing of my Dahua Home Assistant integration (via HACS)

    Hi! Did you find a solution for this? I'm exactly at the same point and I don't know how to detect when the unlock button is pressed in order to open the Nuki. It seems a pretty common need, but not sure how to solve it. Thanks a lot in advance! Jordi

    Recommendations for door/motion sensors in a BI enviroment

    ...Temp, water, motion sensors, smart door locks would be great - did I mention a garage is ~ 200' from the cabin (e.g. I'm assuming out of zwave range). So I'm going to setup a local BI instance with cameras at the cabin because the camera quality there obviously exceeds Ring, Simplifi, Wyze...

    ...check into the availability of Home Assistant's new "Yellow" hardware. it has a Mattter-compatible Zigbee hardware built in. You would need to add a Zwave USB stick. The inexpensive Zwave.Me stick has worked great for me. Alternatively, look for a refurbished thin client or laptop as...
