Hi everyone, I’m diving into a couple of interesting projects and wanted to share my experiences and thoughts with the community. First, I’ve been experimenting with setting up an MQTT bridge for my Z-Wave switches. The idea is to automate their responses to MQTT subscriptions and publish status updates without manually configuring each device. I’m thinking of creating an app that can handle a list of devices and a topic prefix, automatically managing subscriptions and publications. Would love to hear if anyone has tried something similar or has tips on how to approach this efficiently!
On another note, I’ve been dealing with some RF interference issues with my Milight RGBW bulbs. It seems like sending commands to multiple bridges at the same time causes them to transmit simultaneously, leading to hit-and-miss results. I’ve been tinkering with the Milight binding code, trying to implement a delay or a shared transmission flag to prevent this. However, I’m not entirely sure how to make this flag visible across all bridges. Has anyone encountered this issue or has suggestions on how to resolve it? I’m eager to collaborate if possible!
Lastly, I wanted to mention a cool project I came across—a DIY sleep monitor using Purple Sleep technology. It’s been a fun challenge to set it up, and I’m curious to see how others are integrating similar devices into their smart home setups. Any tips or experiences to share would be fantastic!
Looking forward to your insights and discussions!
