Hello everyone, I’m thrilled to share my journey into the world of smart home technology! As a newcomer, I’ve been experimenting with integrating various devices into my ecosystem, and I must say, it’s been an exciting adventure. I recently managed to connect my Shelly Plug S to control a smart irrigation system, and it’s been working beautifully. The ability to automate watering schedules has been a game-changer for my garden.One of the challenges I encountered was ensuring seamless communication between my Wyze Sense devices and my Z-Wave network. After some research, I discovered that using the native API for device control provided a more reliable experience compared to MQTT. This setup has allowed me to create a more responsive and efficient system.Now, I’m looking to expand my setup by incorporating a smart sprinkler system. I’ve heard great things about the Wyze Sense for monitoring soil moisture, but I’m curious about how others have integrated sprinklers into their systems. Are there specific Z-Wave or Zigbee sprinkler controllers that work well with Wyze devices? I’d love to hear about your experiences and any tips you might have for a smooth integration.Additionally, I’m exploring the possibility of creating a community project focused on sustainable gardening practices using smart technology. If anyone is interested in collaborating or sharing their expertise, please reach out! I’m eager to learn and contribute to this growing community.Thank you all for your insights and support. It’s amazing to be part of such a passionate and innovative group!
