Hi everyone, I’m really excited to share my recent journey into integrating smart lighting automation with my existing Busch Jaeger thermostats. I’ve been using these thermostats for years, and they’ve always been reliable, but I’ve always wanted to take my home automation to the next level without replacing all my hardware.
I recently came across the Funktemperaturregler series from Busch Jaeger, specifically models 1097, 1094, and 1095 U. These devices promise to add smart functionality to my existing setup, which is perfect because I don’t want to redo all my wiring. The idea of extending my current switches with a wireless solution sounds ideal, especially since I want to maintain the simplicity of my setup while adding modern features.
I’ve started by researching how these devices can integrate with my existing system. The compatibility with Homematic is a big plus, and I’m curious to see how seamless the integration will be. I’ve also been looking into creating a simple automation scenario where the lighting in my living room adjusts based on the temperature settings from my thermostat. It’s a small feature, but it could make a big difference in terms of comfort.
One thing I’m particularly interested in is the potential for creating custom scenes. For example, during movie nights, I’d love for the lights to dim automatically when the thermostat detects the room has cooled down to a certain level. This kind of integration would make my home feel even more connected and intuitive.
I’d love to hear from anyone who has experience with these Busch Jaeger devices or similar setups. Have you managed to create any interesting automations that combine lighting and temperature control? Any tips or pitfalls I should be aware of before diving into the installation? I’m really looking forward to hearing your thoughts and learning from your experiences!
Cheers,
