New Home Smarts Update
It’s been a while since I did a blog post. I didn’t realise how long until I saw the last update! Well since May 2021, I’ve moved house, tweaked my technology stack and added some new bits. This is what the house looks like now:
- Alexa - Voice Control
- Flic - Physical Control
- Home Assistant - The glue
The technologies now in use are:
| Type | Manufacturers | Staying |
|---|---|---|
| Plugs / Light Strips / HA Zigbee | Sonoff | Yes |
| Lights / Buttons / PIR | Hue | Yes |
| Heating | Tado / Tado TRVs | Yes |
| TV Remote | Logitech | No - EOL |
| Button / H&T / PIR | Shelly | Yes - Testing |
| Cameras | Eufy | Yes |
| Cameras | MotionEye | Yes |
| Lights / Plugs | Kasa | Yes - Caravan |
| Buttons | Flic | Yes |
| PIR | ESPHome | Yes - Limited |
| Christmas Lights / Bulbs | Tuya | Yes |
| Automation | SmartBot | Yes - Limited |
| Ambilight | Govee | Yes - Limited |
| AirCon | Sensibo | Yes - Limited |
Everything is currently working well and there are very few issues. In time I will write another post about some of the technologies and routines that I now have. Including the whalesong motion sensor when you’re in the cloakroom!
