G'day Hubbers I'm just prep'ing to take the home auto plunge and had thought I was settled on smartthings (which has just come to AUS) until I came across this hub and the benefits of local control. Edit: This thread has now morphed into a general support conversation for aussie users of hubitat …

I bought an iris recently I’ve yet to set up. What is your lipo setup?

Good idea, I PoE'd mine and it's never skipped a beat. I assumed it would just kill the batteries pretty quickly. [image]

Nice mod! I've been messing with mine constantly since installing it yesterday with 4 Energiser lithium AA's and it hasn't budged from 100%.

Have you considered building something like this ? You'll be spending $8-10. Anyways this is what I use with my garage door and it's rock solid. I also 3d printed a little case but you can just buy a small box from Jaycar.

I use one of these for my Driveway gates, works well.
