Hey everyone, I’m diving into the world of smart home automation and wanted to share some of my experiences and questions with you all. ![]()
First off, I’ve been experimenting with smart plugs and have been blown away by their versatility. They’ve completely transformed how I manage my home’s energy consumption. However, I’m curious if there’s a way to integrate these plugs into Hubitat alongside Alexa. I’ve been searching online but haven’t found a clear solution yet. If anyone has tackled this before, I’d love to hear your insights! ![]()
On another note, I recently hit Level 2 in the Govee community, and I’m thrilled to be part of such an amazing community. It’s been incredible to see how much I’ve learned and grown in such a short time. ![]()
I’ve also been exploring DIY projects, like creating a dark neon setup using pink and cyan tones. It’s perfect for gaming and relaxing in the evenings. The best part? Adjusting the brightness makes it even more versatile for different moods. Check it out if you’re into DIY lighting! ![]()
Another thing I’ve been pondering is the use of wake-up alarms with Homey. I’ve been thinking about using a Chromecast or even an Android TV device like the Xiaomi Mi Box to cast music or YouTube content. But I’m wondering if Homey can recognize these devices as native Chromecasts since they run on Android TV. Has anyone had success with this? I’d love to hear your experiences! ![]()
Lastly, I’ve been fascinated by the idea of creating a dynamic home temperature average card, similar to the one Ecobee offers. With the addition of new multi-sensors, I’m curious if there’s a way to display the home’s average temperature in a sleek, consolidated card. If anyone has tips or resources, I’d be grateful! ![]()
Thanks for reading, and I’m excited to hear your thoughts and experiences! Let’s keep the smart home journey going! ![]()
