Hey everyone, I’ve been diving into the world of smart home technology and wanted to share a couple of tips that might be helpful for others!
First, if you’re looking to add a volume knob to your setup, I found a great solution using a KY-040 rotary encoder module. It’s affordable and works perfectly with a Raspberry Pi. I used this guide to set it up: GitHub. It was a bit of a DIY project, but the end result is fantastic!
Another important tip I came across is about securing your Hubitat devices. Did you know that many Hubitat users have their devices exposed to the internet without proper authentication? I stumbled upon a post that emphasized the importance of enabling password authentication or using a VPN like PiVPN to access your devices securely. It’s a simple fix that can save you from potential security issues.
I’d love to hear from others—what tips and tricks have you discovered while setting up your smart home? Let’s share and learn together!
