I’ve been diving into the world of smart lighting and energy monitoring lately, and it’s been an exciting journey!
I recently set up a couple of Philips Hue bulbs in my living room, and I’m trying to figure out how to display both of them in a single tile on my BSH app. It would be amazing to control them with just one tap, especially since they’re part of a wall lamp setup. If anyone has tips or tricks on how to achieve this, I’d love to hear them! ![]()
On another note, I stumbled upon the Artsy Govee bulb, and it’s been a game-changer for my home decor. The vibrant colors and smooth transitions really bring the space to life. If you haven’t tried them yet, I highly recommend giving them a shot! ![]()
I’m also experimenting with energy monitoring. I have solar panels, and I want to create a system that switches devices on and off based on the energy production. The challenge is to avoid rapid switching due to fluctuating energy levels caused by clouds or household appliance usage. I found some insights into using the history data from the Insights app, but I’m still figuring out how to integrate it into my flow. If anyone has experience with averaging energy data over a specific period, I’d love to learn more! ![]()
Lastly, I upgraded my Vera system recently, and I’m thrilled with the improved performance. It’s been a smooth experience so far, and I’m excited to explore more features and integrations. If you’re considering an upgrade, I think it’s worth looking into! ![]()
Overall, the journey of setting up and optimizing my smart home has been both challenging and rewarding. I can’t wait to see what new innovations come next! Stay curious and keep experimenting! ![]()
