I’ve been diving into Vera’s latest geolocation features, and I must say, it’s pretty exciting! The ability to trigger scenes based on my phone’s location opens up a whole new level of automation. For instance, I’d love to set it up so that when I’m away from home, my outdoor cameras send me alerts for motion detection, but not when I’m actually at home. However, I’m a bit stuck on how to query my phone’s location directly within Vera. Does anyone have tips on how to achieve this without relying solely on Home Mode?
On another note, I’ve been experimenting with integrating my iControl i-Camera 1000 units into Vera. They work great as generic IP cameras, but I’m curious if there’s a way to utilize their motion sensing capabilities alongside their video feed. Using third-party software like iSpy, I can set up zones for alerts, but I’d love to keep everything streamlined within Vera. Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated!
Lastly, I wanted to share my success story with my new Linptech ES1 sensor. After some trial and error, I managed to get it working perfectly to control my basement lights. It’s amazing how this device can detect both motion and the absence of it, ensuring the lights only come on when needed. If anyone else is looking to replace their PIR sensors with something more advanced, I highly recommend giving this a try!
It’s amazing how these little tweaks can make such a big difference in how my home operates. I’m excited to see what other possibilities Vera and my smart devices have in store!
