Hey everyone, I’ve been diving into the world of Zigbee and Hass.io lately, and I’ve got a few questions and experiences to share. First off, I’m curious about the compatibility of the DLT 645 protocol with the EGX150 module. Is it essentially the same as Modbus RTU/RS485? I’m trying to understand if I can seamlessly integrate these protocols for my smart home setup.
On another note, I’ve been working on setting up some automations in Hass.io, specifically for my kitchen lights. The idea is to have them turn off after 5 minutes, but only between 6 PM and 5 AM. I’ve tried a few configurations, but I keep running into issues where the automation either doesn’t show up in the list or doesn’t work as expected. Here’s what my current setup looks like:
yaml
- action:
data:
entity_id: light.kitchen
service: light.turn_on
alias: Turn on hallway light after motion detected
condition:- after: ‘23:30’
before: ‘07:00’
trigger: - entity_id: binary_sensor.fibaro_system_fgms001_motion_sensor_sensor
platform: state
to: ‘on’
- after: ‘23:30’
I’m not sure where I’m going wrong. Maybe there’s a syntax issue or a missing component? Any insights would be super helpful!
Another thing I’ve been exploring is integrating multiple Zigbee devices. I recently added a Philips Hue RGBW bulb and a Gledopto strip light controller, both connected directly to my hub. However, I’ve noticed that all my Zigbee lights are turning on randomly every 10 minutes or so after updating to version 2.3.9. I’ve tried disabling rules, restarting the hub, and even rebuilding the Zigbee network, but nothing seems to fix the issue. I’m starting to wonder if there’s a faulty hub or if it’s an external interference problem. Has anyone else experienced something similar?
Lastly, I wanted to share a tip for anyone dealing with SD card recording on their cameras. I was frustrated because there was no clear indicator to confirm if video was being recorded to the SD card. After some research, I found that checking the camera’s settings individually was the only way to be sure. It would be awesome if there was a more straightforward method, like a red dot or a status message in the live stream.
Overall, it’s been a mix of triumphs and challenges, but I’m learning so much along the way. If anyone has advice or solutions to any of these issues, I’d love to hear them!
