Exploring the Integration of Hikvision Cameras with Homey Pro

Hi everyone, I’m excited to dive into the world of smart home integration and share my experiences with the Hikvision app and Homey Pro. As a new user, I’m curious to know if the Hikvision app will ever be compatible with Homey Pro. I currently have one Hikvision DS-2CD2046G2-IU IP camera, but I’m planning to expand my setup with more cameras. The idea of seamlessly integrating these devices into my home automation system is thrilling, but I need to ensure compatibility before making any purchases.

On another note, I’ve been exploring temperature sensor solutions for my aquarium and PC water cooling system. I’ve tried several options, including Fibaro door sensors with remote temperature probes and the Smart Implant, but I’ve faced issues with battery life and reliability. The TFA Dostmann 433 MHz sensors with cable probes didn’t work as expected either. I’m ideally looking for a Z-Wave or Zigbee sensor with an accessible temperature sensor that I can replace with a cable probe. If anyone has experience with similar setups or has recommendations, I’d greatly appreciate your insights!

Lastly, I wanted to share my success story with automating my aquarium. After experiencing a heater failure, I decided to take control by installing two replacement heaters, a Fibaro door sensor with a remote temperature probe, and an Aeotec Smart Strip. Now, I receive alerts if the temperature goes out of range and can remotely turn the heaters off if needed. It’s been a game-changer for maintaining a stable environment for my fish. I’m curious to hear how others have approached similar challenges in their smart home setups.

Thank you for reading, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences!
