As a homeowner passionate about enhancing my home’s security and convenience, I’ve been exploring the SmartThings Motion Sensors and their integration with other smart devices. I recently came across a discussion about the 2015 vs. 2016 models and their performance. While the 2016 models seem to have some drawbacks, I’m curious if anyone has successfully used the 2015 models or has any tips on finding them. I’d love to hear your experiences or alternative recommendations!
Another topic that caught my attention was the multi-hub setup for covering larger homes. I’ve been considering expanding my smart home system across multiple floors and would appreciate insights on whether using extenders or multiple hubs is more effective. Has anyone successfully implemented a Hubitat multi-hub setup with HubConnect? I’m particularly interested in how this can be managed locally without relying solely on the cloud.
On the automation front, I’ve been experimenting with motion sensor lighting. My current setup turns lights on at sunset and off after 5 minutes of no motion. However, during daylight hours, I’d like the lights to stay off unless manually turned on. I’m wondering if it’s possible to adjust the rule to keep the lights on when manually switched on, even during the day, without creating a separate rule. Any advice on simplifying this would be greatly appreciated!
Lastly, I stumbled upon a discussion about the Elegrp Smart Switches and Dimmers. I’m looking for affordable alternatives to high-end brands and would love to hear if anyone has had success integrating these devices with Hubitat. Are there any compatibility issues or tips for a smooth setup?
Overall, I’m excited to dive deeper into these topics and learn from the community’s experiences and expertise. Let’s keep the conversation flowing and share our insights!
