I recently upgraded my Vera 2 box to firmware 1.1.992 and was pleasantly surprised to discover the new UI4 interface. It’s a fresh take on the old UI3, and I’m excited to see how much more stable and user-friendly it can be compared to UI2. If anyone else has tried it out, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the improvements!
On another note, I’ve been diving into OpenHAB3 and setting up my smart home devices. One thing that’s been a bit tricky is configuring my SSR relay. In OpenHAB2, I had to create a rule to send a 1 or 0 command via MQTT to control the relay. Now that I’ve switched to OpenHAB3, it’s sending ON/OFF commands by default. Does anyone know if I still need to set up a rule for the 1/0 commands, or can I configure it directly through the channels? I’d appreciate any guidance on this!
Automation has been a game-changer for me, especially with my Somfy rollershutters. I’ve managed to group them into categories like ‘All’, ‘South’, and ‘West’, which makes controlling multiple screens much easier. However, I’ve noticed that the icons for these groups aren’t updating as smoothly as I’d like, especially on my iOS app. If anyone has tips on optimizing group icons or ensuring they display correctly, I’d be grateful!
Lastly, I’ve been experimenting with integrating different brands into my smart home setup. It’s been a bit of a puzzle, but seeing everything work together seamlessly is incredibly rewarding. If anyone has tips on integrating devices from various manufacturers or troubleshooting connection issues, I’d love to hear about your experiences!
Overall, the journey of setting up and optimizing a smart home system is both challenging and fulfilling. I’m excited to continue learning and improving my setup. Let’s keep the discussions going and share our tips and tricks!
