Hey everyone, I’ve been diving into the world of virtual cameras and smart lighting automation lately, and I wanted to share my experiences and questions with the community.
First off, I’ve been trying to set up a virtual camera on my security system, but I’m hitting a bit of a wall. I followed the instructions to add a virtual device and configure it as a camera, but it just doesn’t seem to connect to my IP camera. Has anyone successfully done this before? Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated!
On another note, I’ve been experimenting with creating a smart lighting setup in my hallway. The idea is to have the lights fade off gently after the door closes, providing a subtle transition without being too abrupt. I’ve set up a basic automation, but no matter the settings, the lights just turn off instantly. It’s a bit frustrating, but I’m determined to crack this. Maybe adjusting the fade duration or using a different trigger could help?
I’d also love to hear about others’ experiences with integrating virtual devices and smart lighting. Have you encountered similar issues, and how did you resolve them? Any success stories or creative solutions would be awesome to hear about!
Let’s keep the conversation flowing and help each other out on this smart home journey. Thanks in advance for your insights and support!
