Hey everyone, I’ve been diving into the world of home automation lately and it’s been an exciting journey! I came across the HomeyDash app and thought it would be perfect for creating a dashboard on my old iPad Mini 1, which is still running iOS 9. I’m really curious to see if it works as smoothly as others have mentioned. From what I gather, it should, but I’m still a bit fuzzy on the exact setup process. Has anyone here successfully set this up? I’d love to hear your experiences and any tips you might have!
Another thing I’ve been exploring is integrating multiple smart devices from different brands. It’s been a bit of a challenge, but also really rewarding to see everything work together. For instance, I recently managed to get my Z-Wave switches communicating seamlessly with my Philips Hue lights. It’s all about finding the right configuration and maybe tweaking some settings here and there.
I’m also really interested in how others handle scheduling and automation. I’ve heard great things about using OpenHAB for more complex setups, but I’m still getting the hang of it. If anyone has tips on creating effective rules or optimizing performance, I’d be grateful for the insights!
Looking forward to hearing from you all and sharing more as I continue my home automation adventure! Let’s make our homes smarter together!
