Hello everyone, I’m diving into the world of smart irrigation and lighting, and I have some questions and experiences to share!
First, I’ve been exploring the Rachio 3 for my garden but faced some issues with status updates. I’m now considering switching to Orbit sprinklers. Does anyone know if the Orbit app integrates well with HE, especially for zone control and status monitoring? Any insights would be super helpful!
On another note, I’ve been experimenting with grouping smart lights to create a cohesive ambiance. I have two IKEA Tradfri lamps over my kitchen counter and would love to control them together with a single icon. Has anyone successfully grouped their lamps and could share tips?
Lastly, I stumbled upon some great resources on setting up CalDav with Synology NAS for scheduling. It was a bit tricky at first, but sharing my findings might help others. If you’re into calendar integrations, here’s a quick tip: ensure your calendar URLs match the Thunderbird settings from Synology’s web UI.
Looking forward to hearing your experiences and tips! Let’s keep the smart home journey fun and fruitful! ![]()
