You could add owntracks into the mix, with geofencing. Not sure if it fits your definition of "passively detecting" though...

Thanks (again) for keeping us informed on their progress (again)

Manually triggering the flow with the test button acts as a trigger for the flow. It will always be executed. Otherwise, the test button wouldn't always work To test conditions in a flow (if a UniFi device is connected or not, for example), use t…

Connecting a device is detected pretty fast, within a bunch of seconds. Disconnecting takes more time, a bunch of minutes. This is by (Ubiquiti) design. Have a look in the UniFi controller software list of connected devices, to see what status is r…
-
Think of triggers as events, happening in a single moment of time. Same goes for entering/leaving a certain (longer term) state: The moment in which the state changes is a single moment. The extra conditions you add in the AND column exist/vanish …

That escalated quickly... into an ikea discussion

awils said: Do you have to have the controller software running at all times for this to work? Yes, the Homey app looks for changes reported by the controller software, every 15 seconds. No controller, no status updates. Does anyone o…

@micha35w : Your UniFi Controller runs on https://localhost:8443/manage/site/default/settings/site, that is your own computer. Yes, that's also the source of the certificate error (page not safe). That is to be expected there. If you tried the ste…

LED-Ring collection allows me give a subtle visual indication of the presence count: nobody home = led ring off 1 user home = led ring set to satellite (1 rotating dot) 2 users home = led ring set to light house (2 rotating dots) Currently, that …

It looks like 192.168.178.206 is the IP-address of UniFi AP-AC-LR, that is your access point. The UniFi Controller software is running on localhost, that's the computer where you opened your browser. You need to find that IP address. On the compute…
-
Localhost on the Homey points to the Homey itself, that won't work. You need the IP address where Homey can find the UniFi Controller on your network. If you installed UniFi Controller on a desktop computer (PC or laptop), you need to find that IP …

@micha35w : - Did you try the site name 'default' in all lowercase letters (uitsluitend kleine letters)? - And fill in the IP address of your UniFi Controller (not your access point)? Then do a reconnect in the Homey app settings. Sometimes I have t…

Thanks indeed. Nice to get a glimpse of their good vibes, and efforts to improve their product. I will be ordering at least one for testing, their approach looks promising.
-
@Christian77 : Yes, but not that often. On average about once every two weeks.
-
Nice!

I have blinds and curtains at home, to fully automate all windows I would need 15 devices: Move (lifting blinds), FlipFlic (tilting blinds + nice input) and Slide (curtains). With all solar panels attached, I can't look outside anymore. Obsoleting …

Unified Remote looks like a convenient gadget, but has way too many security implications for my liking. I'll pass on this one.

Version 1.5 will be released as stable next monday (4 september)
-
Very interesting project. Thanks for the pointer and updates!
-
@cautje : Ah, ok. Did you try 'default' (without the quotes) as Site? I connect to the UniFi Controller (v5.5.20 on RPi), have one site, renamed that in UniFi, but have to use default as site name in the Homey app anyway. You probably have to use t…

Yay! I noticed some eQ-3 news in Emile's software status update Meanwhile I also tried Pimatic, which offers an eQ-3 MAX! plugin, supporting their heaters, thermostats and contact sensors out of the box, via the MAXcube. What a pleasant surprise…
-
@Veldkornet : Totally agree. This is such a brilliant app, and very nicely coded. I have always been surprised by the lack of discussion about it. Maybe because it just works as intended/expected. I love it. Apart from the help with presence detect…

Many thanks brinkmeister! If it is also possible to sort out the false occurences, this will be such a killer app for so many Homey users. I couldn't care less about the voice part, but your triggers based on calendar events add a whole new dimensio…

My success rate with voice commands is somewhere between 50 - 75%. I stuck to english, speculating on better results there, than with a less used language like Dutch. I'm usually at a 2, 3 or 4 meters distance. As expected, results improve significa…

Indeed, but it's kinda old, and https://github.com/ivesdebruycker/maxcube seems to be more actively developed. Another interesting source might be Dmitry Kazakov's software published on http://www.dmitry-kazakov.de/ada/max_home_automation.htm If yo…

Sounds like a situation where a KlikAanKlikUit closet... ummm... socket could come in handy

I'm using the eQ-3 MAX! system for about a year now, and am super satisfied with it. One of the best "smart" investments I made so far. Five thermostats (containing a thermometer) on five radiators placed in five rooms (zones) control the temperatur…

If you're comfortable using English, which (judging by your post) you seem to be, there's no reason not to hop aboard. The hardware ecosystems in NL and DE are nearly identical, which is most important imho. Thinking about it, we actually do need m…
