Hey everyone, I’ve been diving into the world of smart home automation lately, and I’m really excited to share my experience with the HM-LC-Sw1-FM switch. I’ve been trying to set it up so that a long press activates the stairwell light permanently, while a short press turns it on for a few minutes before turning off automatically. It’s a small tweak, but it would make a big difference in my daily routine!
I’ve heard that the Homematic IP switches handle this kind of functionality pretty smoothly, but I’m not sure if they’d fit into my current setup. I’ve been experimenting with direct connections between my motion sensor and the switch, and it’s been working, but there’s this blinking light that’s got me a bit puzzled. I’m wondering if there’s a way to disable the blinking or if it’s an indication of something else going on.
I’d love to hear from anyone who’s tackled similar projects or has tips on optimizing these kinds of automations. Whether it’s about troubleshooting the blinking light or suggestions for more efficient setups, I’m all ears! Let’s keep the conversation going and help each other out in making our homes smarter and more convenient.
Cheers, Chris
