I am new with HA and with c7. Started to play around with mix of fibaro zwave (wall plug. dimmer, switch,sensor (no battery yet waiting for shipping to arrive )
Successfuly added few wall plugs and simple light control module.
I have some more questions:
-
I have some Xiaomi items like Mi Smart LED Ceiling Light. Camera and vacume. I would like to connect and control them via hubitat what is the best approach?
-
I try to connect 40w led light to fibaro dimmer 2. It works for on/off. But I cannot dimm it. Any suggestions for what to do ?
Here is the scema I used (the second one. But only one lamp works )
I can connect two of them in parallel and control both at once it is good enough or I can plug fibaro swtich 2 instead. But I prefer to dimm it. (Setting dimm to 0 turn it off. But 1-100 turn it to full) -
I have logitec hub to control the multimadia aspect (tv. Netflix box. Dvr ). I want to have some automation combined with light. For example. When watching TV at day turn on the lights. Or when watching at night turn on /dimm. What is the best approach to integrate to hubitat ( I want to controll all or as much as possible from hubitat)
4.For some reason I expected better coverage from zwave around the house. The c7 hub can barely communicate with device in another room (all devices are repeters -fibaro in wall plugs). What I can do to extend it to another rooms?
5.as continue to question 4 . I can put hubitat c7 in better coverage possiton but without direct rj connection. Can the c7 configured to work over wifi and without direct rj connection?
- Not relevant for hubitat and mostly electrical question. I have some issue with the power. When the switch is off (or Line is physically disconnected) some of the led lamps in our apartment emmit at very low light. Can I do something to turn it off ? Cause the landlord does not want to fix it and tells me to replace the led lamps with something else.
