    • RE: A smart home vs an automated home

      @dbemowsk
      I use mine with Openhab as they have a skill, and im waiting for the new ‘Routines’ to be released, I think Amazon are raising their game and along with the new Routines https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/27/16375050/alexa-routines-echo-amazon-2017 and now that it can recognise different voices https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/10/11/16460120/amazon-echo-multi-user-voice-new-feature it could help my house turn from Automated to Smart very soon.

      I know Amazon Echo can now recognize different voices, so it could be listening to see who's home?

    • RE: openHAB 2.0 binding

      Have you tried using Mqtt? I've recently set up a motion sensor with a mqtt gateway and it seems to be more reliable. The motion just sends a 1 for motion or 0 for no motion (obvs). I have a rule that says turn lights on if motion state =1 .You don't have to worry about connecting 'things' with openhab as you use the mqtt binding.

      I've been trying to figure this out for a while. For me openhab discovers 4 things Red, Green, Blue and Status. These are all dimmers and I can't get them all to work together as 1 colour wheel? They all work really well independently but that's as far as I got. I've also tried the .items file but with no luck.

    • RE: OpenHab and RGB led strip

      @andredts hey did you manage to get the colour wheel working? I'm having similar issues, everything works well but with 3 seperate dimmers.

      Thanks
