Exploring Smart Home Automation with Sonoff and Vera

I’ve been diving into the world of smart home automation recently, and it’s been an exciting journey! I’ve been experimenting with integrating various devices, and I wanted to share my experiences and some questions I’ve come across. First, I’ve been using Sonoff devices extensively for their reliability and ease of setup. However, I’ve noticed an issue with the Sonoff 4CH outdoor unit. Whenever it loses WiFi signal or Home Assistant reboots, the relays switch off, which is problematic if they were previously on. I’ve been researching ways to retain the last state of the relays during signal loss. Has anyone found a reliable solution for this? On the Vera side, I’m exploring the LUUP platform and trying to get comfortable with its scripting capabilities. I’ve written a simple script to test basic logic, but it keeps failing with a “Code failed” error. Here’s the code snippet: lualocal testVariable = “1” if (testVariable == “1”) then return true end if Am I missing something obvious here? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! Another area I’ve been exploring is thermostat calibration. I recently purchased the Meross Smart Wi-Fi Thermostat (MTS300) and noticed discrepancies in temperature readings. I’ve been trying to calibrate it through the settings, but sometimes the thermostat activates even when the temperature is still within the comfort range. Has anyone encountered this issue and found a workaround? Lastly, I’ve been considering adding a new relay to my setup and am torn between the Fibaro FGS-223 and Philio PAN04-1B for compatibility with my Vera Plus controller. I’d love to hear others’ experiences with these models. Overall, this exploration has been both challenging and rewarding. I’m eager to learn more and improve my smart home setup. If anyone has insights or solutions to these issues, I’d be thrilled to hear from you! :rocket:
