Hey everyone! I’ve been diving into setting up some smart home automation, and I wanted to share my journey and ask for some tips. I’ve installed five PIR sensors using a Sonoff RF bridge, and I’m trying to create an automation that triggers a notification whenever any of these sensors are activated. The challenge is to ensure the automation only triggers when the sensor name contains the string “PIR”. I’ve tried setting up a condition in Home Assistant, but I’m not quite sure how to structure it properly. Has anyone tackled something similar? I’d love to hear your approaches or any potential pitfalls to watch out for.
On another note, I’ve also been exploring ways to optimize my smart lighting setup. I’ve come across some great tips about using MQTT for more precise control, especially for Hue-Saturation values. It’s fascinating how much customization you can achieve with the right templates. If anyone has experience with MQTT light configurations or tips for creating dynamic lighting scenes, I’d be thrilled to learn more!
Lastly, I’ve been impressed by the community’s enthusiasm for integrating various devices like Govee and Eufy cameras. It’s amazing how these products can enhance home security and automation. If anyone has a favorite Govee product or a clever setup they’d like to share, I’d love to hear about it!
Looking forward to your insights and experiences!
