Room Locator activeert HomeKit-apparaten zodra je een kamer binnenkomt

• 
  

Je kunt HomeKit-apparaten of Philips Hue-lampen zo instellen dat deze automatisch aan gaan zodra je thuis komt. Daarbij maak je gebruik van geolocatie: de iPhone ziet of je in de buurt van je huis komt en zorgt dat bepaalde scènes worden geactiveerd. Wil je per kamer regelen dat bepaalde apparaten aan gaan, dan is er nu de Room Locator. Die merkt als je een bepaalde kamer binnenkomt. Met de bijbehorende Devices-app (link) is het mogelijk.

Room Locator ziet of je een kamer binnenkomt

De Room Locator is een klein kastje dat uitgerust is met Bluetooth. Het werkt dus niet met een bewegingssensor. Dit accessoire kan aan de hand van het Bluetooth-signaal meten of je een kamer binnenkomt of verlaat. Via de Devices-app kun je bijvoorbeeld lampen, de thermostaat of de ventilator automatisch aan of uit kan laten gaan. Dit kan bovendien ook aan de hand van regels, bijvoorbeeld alleen na een bepaald tijdstip of na zonsondergang.

Je kunt in huis meerdere Room Locators plaatsen, maar voor elke kamer moet één apparaatje aanwezig zijn. Het enige wat je naast de Room Locator en de Devices-app op de iPhone nodig hebt, zijn geschikte HomeKit-apparaten. Elk accessoire dat werkt met Apple’s HomeKit, werkt ook samen met de Room Locator. Je kunt hem dus gebruiken in combinatie met de Philips Hue-lampen of de Elgato Eve-sensoren en schakelaars.

 

De Devices-app is bovendien een handige app om je HomeKit-apparaten mee te bedienen. De app heeft een Apple Watch-versie die prettig werkt in combinatie met grote icoontjes en veel aanpassingsopties. De Room Locator is onder andere verkrijgbaar bij Amazon voor €25. De Devices-app is gratis te downloaden en te gebruiken, maar heeft wel een optionele in-app aankoop om meer triggers toe te voegen.

This would be really cool to have with Homey so that it knows in which room you (your phone/fitbit) are and start flows/stuff automatically... would be cool! (and these seem to be affordable)

swttt

They could add this feature to homey!
Create their own "mini"-homey beacons, and update their app. Then some flowcards for when you enter the room

So you guys (or wife/kids/dog/...) have your phone on you 100% of the time?
Otherwise this is pretty useless...

Your kids (if you have any yet  ) too?
Because if you make flows that depend on this for your entire family, that might not work.

That's why I also want to be able to switch my lights on and off without the use of my phone, voice etc but just with an ordinary switch on the wall.

Fire69

Same here.  That's why I removed most of my Hue lights recently.  Don't want to stick remotes to my walls or use my phone to turn on the lights.

RobinVanKekem

Yes, you'll have to stick remotes somewhere AND remove the original ones because have te switched on all the time or else the device goes offline. I don't like it that way.
Which will work just fine for a light on it's own feet (staande lamp) and little lights on, for instance, next to the TV and other cabinets.

It's a replacement of the switch but requires the null (blue) wire to be there (which won't be there most of the time unless there is a powersupply (stopcontact) .
That won't be a problem in most situations as the blue wire is there in the central electrical box in the ceiling which will go to the light bulb.
And it's in the right color/series as my house is full of Bush-Jaeger Duro 2000 series! 

There is even a dual load version available so you can switch 2 lights with it. I have this one in my hallway to switch the hallway light and outside the front door light.

Single click is, in my situation, the hallway light (which is used most of the time) and double click is outside light.

It can even be used as a dimmer controller by leaving the second connection empty and associating another z-wave dimmer to it. It can control that dimmer by holding the button. It can't dim lights itself directly though.

In 2 weeks I get the key of my new house.
Gone replace every switch with a fibaro dimmer/switch.

Going to make scene's, but full auto would be great zo i am intresteted in room locator's.

Why not the devices in my previous post, if I may ask?

@annevanrossum, how is the Crownstone doing on localisation?  Only waiting for the Homey BLE API/libray to integrate it?

No specifik reason. Think i'm gona use Fibaro with a Jung puls switch.
Why did you choose for z-wave me?

jovink

@0burner0 take a look at
Http://crownstone.rocks .  They have Bluetooth wall plugs (also built -ins) 
with Room-level presence detection. 
I read on slack that they have bought a homey.

These are the only ones that have the Busch-Jaeger Duro 2000 front plates on them.
Since my whole house is based on that series of front plates...

If you use the Fibaro module you can use any type if plates. You could use your original BJ plates then.

But I couldn't find that if the Z-Wave network or controller is down, the light is still working and operated by the Fibaro.
Plus I don't know if the box (electra doos) is deep enough.

Fire69

It still works without controller. 
Can't help you with the box 

RobinVanKekem

Lol, thanks for the clarification!

viktor

Just baked this beacons http://www.ruu.vi maybe is somehow usable with homey :-)

Just a suggestion, built a Fibaro dimmer or switch module into the luminaire (armatuur) or the central distribution box (centraaldoos). It's easier to wire. Connect the switch/lamp wire (in the Netherlands, the black wire) on the s1 connection. Now you can use your standard wall-switch and control the light by a controller. When the controller is down, you can still control it with the normal wall-switch.

Examples: https://www.robbshop.nl/over-z-wave/z-wave-projecten/z-wave-hotelschakeling

RobinVanKekem

And then the Fibaro will also update the state to the controller (Homey) when using the physical buttons?

caseda

@RobinVanKekem ;
yes it does trigger an update to homey when switching with S1 (at least with my dual relay switch)
S2 would be better because of a bug at the moment, but it works anyways

RobinVanKekem

@caseda ;
When switching with S1 or the physical buttons or S1?

caseda

The physical button will be connected on S1 (input),
which will switch Q1 (output), where you will attach the lamp. (you will need power on L and IN)

if you toggle the physical switch -> S1 (in default settings) it will switch Q1 on,
if you then switch Q1/S1 in homey, it will switch Q1 off

And it will toggle Q1 in any other scenario
(like switching it off with homey (while physical switch is still on) and then turn off the physical switch, which will toggle Q1 on again)

RobinVanKekem

Ah, thanks @caseda ;

ericjanvanputten

sooo anyone who got a room locator? and is this on the plans somewhere?

dENNtoet

Unfortunately Homey is still on the long term roadmap.. These seem really cool with a wearable wristband.

You can vote on the roadmap, if enough people vote they might begin with integration sooner...
