Hi everyone, I’ve been exploring ways to enhance my home security and automation setup, and I’m curious to hear your experiences with integrating smart alarm systems like Yale or Ring into OpenHAB. I’ve been using a combination of smart cameras and motion sensors, but I’m looking to streamline everything into a cohesive system.
I recently came across some discussions about the KNX binding and how it handles auto-refresh for sensors, which seems crucial for maintaining accurate readings. Does anyone have tips on optimizing this feature or ensuring smooth integration with other devices?
Another area I’m interested in is vacation mode automation. I’ve heard that scheduling lights and other appliances can give the illusion of occupancy, but I’m wondering if there are more creative ways to enhance this, such as integrating with smart plugs or even setting up automated routines for pet feeding.
Lastly, I stumbled upon a Perl script for enabling or disabling things in OpenHAB, which seems like a handy tool for managing devices remotely. If anyone has experience with scripting in OpenHAB, I’d love to hear how you’ve automated your setup further.
Looking forward to your insights and experiences!
