I’ve been diving into the world of Zigbee sensors lately, and it’s been quite an adventure!
I’m looking to automate my roller shutters based on light levels, and I came across the Xiaomi Mijia Light Sensor. It seems perfect for the job, but I’m curious if anyone has successfully integrated it with OpenHAB. The sensor is affordable and compact, which is a huge plus, but I want to make sure it’s reliable for my setup.
On another note, I’ve been experimenting with custom widgets for my rollershutters. It’s amazing how much control and customization you can achieve with a bit of scripting. I’ve managed to add preset configurations and exact position controls, which has made managing my blinds so much easier. If anyone is interested, I’d be happy to share the scripts and setup details!
One challenge I’ve faced is distinguishing between physical and logical switch presses. It’s crucial for my automation rules, especially when integrating with motion sensors. Has anyone found a reliable method to differentiate between the two? I’d love to hear your experiences and solutions.
Lastly, I’m always on the lookout for smart plugs with energy monitoring that can seamlessly integrate with my Hue setup. The struggle is real, but I’m hopeful there’s a solution out there. If you’ve found a plug that ticks all the boxes, please do share!
Let’s keep the conversation flowing and help each other navigate the exciting world of smart home automation! ![]()
