Hey everyone, I wanted to share my recent experiences with integrating LoraWAN devices into my Home Assistant setup and also discuss a common issue I encountered with my Shelly Plug automation. Hopefully, my journey can help others facing similar challenges!Earlier this month, I decided to expand my smart home ecosystem by incorporating LoraWAN devices. I came across a fantastic GitHub project that demonstrated how to integrate Lora sensors and actuators into Home Assistant using Node-RED. The project was well-documented and provided clear examples, making it easier for me to set up my own flow. I successfully integrated a few sensors and even an actuator for my outdoor lights. The ability to monitor and control devices over long distances without relying on traditional Wi-Fi was a game-changer for my setup. If anyone is interested, I’d be happy to share the specifics of my flow or point you to the GitHub repository—just let me know!On another note, I’ve been dealing with an interesting issue with my Shelly Plug. I use it to monitor my washing machine’s power consumption, and I set up an automation to notify me when the machine finishes a cycle. However, I noticed that the automation would occasionally trigger incorrectly, even when the machine wasn’t running. After some troubleshooting, I realized that the issue might be related to the WLAN signal strength in my basement. The Shelly Plug is located there, and while the signal is usually stable, it seems to drop occasionally, causing the automation to malfunction. To address this, I started experimenting with adjusting the automation’s sensitivity and duration thresholds. I also considered adding a repeater to strengthen the WLAN signal, but I’m currently testing if tweaking the automation settings alone can resolve the problem. So far, the results have been inconsistent, but I’m hopeful that with some fine-tuning, I can eliminate the false triggers.I’d love to hear from others who might have faced similar issues or have tips for improving automation reliability. Whether it’s about integrating new devices or refining existing automations, sharing experiences always helps us learn and grow as a community!Thanks for reading, and happy tinkering!
