Hey everyone, I’ve been exploring some interesting智能家居 solutions lately and wanted to share my experiences and questions with the community. First off, I came across these Zigbee wired temperature sensors from Climax, which seem perfect for measuring temperatures in hard-to-reach places like fridges, water tanks, or along pipes. I’m curious if anyone has experience using these or similar sensors and how they integrate with other systems. The idea of having precise temperature monitoring without worrying about wiring is pretty exciting!
Moving on to OpenHAB, I’ve been working on customizing my UI and stumbled upon some interesting challenges. I tried setting up a text color depending on item content using the following code:
Text item=Status_Licht label=“Status Beleuchtung” valuecolor=[==“Büroschalter AUS”=“red”, ==“Licht AUS”=“green”, =“Licht AN”=“yellow”]
However, it doesn’t seem to work as expected. The colors aren’t changing based on the status updates. I’m wondering if there’s a specific syntax or configuration I’m missing here. Any insights from the community would be greatly appreciated!
Another topic I’ve been exploring is LAN cable utilization for smart home setups. I noticed some LAN cables coming out of my electricity meter and wonder if they can be used to enhance my smart home setup. With my home built in 2017, I’m hoping there might be some hidden smart features I can tap into. Has anyone had similar experiences or know how to leverage such infrastructure?
Lastly, I’ve been looking into Z-Wave device compatibility and stumbled upon some discussions about Z-Wave 500 vs. 700 series devices. I’m planning to upgrade some of my existing devices and want to ensure I’m choosing the right ones. Specifically, I’m interested in replacing my Fibaro Double Switch 2 with the newer FGS-224 model. Understanding the differences between Z-Wave generations and their compatibility is crucial for a seamless upgrade.
Overall, it’s been a mix of exciting discoveries and a few bumps along the way. I’m looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences on these topics! Let’s keep the discussions flowing and help each other optimize our smart home setups.
