Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience with setting up the Shelly 1 Mini Gen 3 for my BFT garage door opener. At first, I was a bit puzzled because I had to press the button twice for the door to open or close. It turned out the wiring was a bit off, but once I adjusted it, everything worked smoothly. I also figured out how to change the labels from ‘On’ and ‘Off’ to ‘Open’ and ‘Close’ in the app, which makes it more intuitive for daily use. If anyone is struggling with similar issues, feel free to reach out—I’d be happy to help troubleshoot!
Another thing I wanted to mention is how I optimized my stair lights using a Shelly switch. I set up an automation where the lights turn on when it gets dark, based on the average lux level from two Z-Wave sensors. However, I noticed that during a full moon, the lights would sometimes turn back on even after being manually turned off. To fix this, I adjusted the automation to consider the switch status and avoid retriggering if the lights were manually turned off. It’s been working perfectly since then!
Lastly, I stumbled upon a cool project where someone created a voice pack generator for their RoboRock vacuum using tools like ChatGPT and AWS Polly. It’s amazing how customizable these devices can be with a bit of creativity and coding. If anyone is interested in personalizing their smart devices, I’d recommend checking out similar projects—it’s a great way to add a personal touch to your home automation setup.
Let me know if you have any questions or if there’s something specific you’d like to discuss! Happy automating! :]
