I basically posted my setup here:
https://community.openhab.org/t/lowes-iris-zigbee-questions
Some more additional:
- DIY Google Assistant
- DIY Alexa
- DIY Siri
- DIY Cortana
- RTL-SDR
- DIY tea5767-based radio, that automatically turns on when I arm the house alarm, and turns off when alarm is disarmed
- DIY Home security stuff
- DIY “Ring” type doorbell
- DIY Samsung TV integration using Samsung Service port
- Sprinkler automation (433mhz/ESP8266-01) and soil moisture sensor
All started from Security Cameras (about 5 years ago). Then started working on automation.
Too many to count since my rules are separated/organized per ‘category’
- Presence detection using PIR sensors, camera motion detection, device presence.
- RTL-SDR-based smart-meter reading
- PG&E Green Button API integration ( I think I should create a binding for this for others)
- Human simulation (turn on/off radio randomly, turns off/on random lights)
But my favorite is this:
- When someone is at my front door, my wall-mounted HABPanel will say “Some one is at the front door.”
- HabPanel dashboard switches to a page with the front door security camera feed.
- If TV is turned on, it will activate a PIP (picture in picture) with the front door camera feed. This is done though the developer terminal port (found in most Samsung TVs). The feed is connected to the coax cable (since you can only have 1 input + coax on PiP). The feed to the coax is from a (orange pi zero) with Chromium launch (with the feed) through an RF vga modulator.
Favorite runner-ups
- I arm/disarm my alarm system using NFC mounted inside the garage.
- LORA garage remote (think 1 mile lol)
- Text notification that garage was left open
I’m trying to incorporate EAS (emergency alert system) to HABPanel.
Trying to automatically cut-off gas line to stove when alarm is armed (no one is home!)
They don’t have a choice LOL
a lot
