yep, I'm waiting on the ikea blinds.

type one letter at a time and wait for it to pop up the address, in my case it wanted Dr not Drive.
I had the same issue, RACV and websites, just as well I only use them for roadside these days...….

Grabbed one of the Sonos remotes to try to pair to HE. So far no joy. It is zigbee 3 certified.

It might be Touchlink like most other tradfri products which means it'll only ever work with the Tradfri gateway. Would be great to have it working though.

Yep. Looks like it's touchlink. Even though it's zigbee 3, they can still use touchlink to pair. Tried pairing to hue bridge, but didn't seem touchlink properly. Will play a bit more though.

Holy crap it works. Followed this vid on YouTube where he touchlinks the puck remote to the hue bridge and then to the bulb.

It now acts as a on/off button/dimmer for the bulb. So not usable as a button within HE itself unfortunately but still useful for bedside lamp button/dimmer for 20 bucks. sweet.

how easily do the covers come off on the 3.0 versions of these? my 1.0 versions came off pretty easily especially if they've been taken off and on several times for pairing.

although it's low voltage behind the cover, the electronic panel i found unclipped quite easily exposing the high voltage behind. This is one of the reasons I removed these from my setup (main / equiv reason was they were unrealible 1.0s) .

hopefully these ones don't have that issue.

+1 heart - 'cause of the link.

So spent a little time looking for a keypad to arm and disarm etc, found nothing here. Ended up finding a Iris V3 on ebay so took a chance and ordered (new in box) from the US. Gotta say it works brilliantly and my wife much prefers the "key in a code to disarm and press a button to arm" options. Beeps all work, ARM home and ARM away work with single key presses etc, great to get an audible status when we walk in the front door. Very impressed and was a little concerned as they seem a bit of a hit and miss to if it will work. Now, if only there were some reasonable local options I'd get a couple more.

Yeah I grabbed one a while ago. Works well enough. Mine didn't detect as the keypad straight away though, it's one of the ones with a dodgy firmware, but it still works.

Mine detected as 'Device' switched to keypad V3 and it works great though.

Same. That's the slightly bung firmware. Couple of things don't work, like the beep command, but it's still fit for purpose.

I like the way it beeps faster on the delays as it gets closer, biggest hassle is there are not many options on getting these things and I couldn;t find anything that is still made and supported on HE

Centralite are trading again, so hopefully they produce some keypads that can be purchased again. Unlikely to get anything here in Aus, cause they want to sell us tightly integrated service charges here.

Yep, that's the killer with most of the security stuff, sold as kits with services and rarely as components.

Same here but it’s hardly touched now that I have ‘Presence’ working great.
It’s all Automagic now

Presence doesn't work well for us, mostly because my daughter forgets her phone half the time :wink: I'm making little inroads but it's an uphill struggle.

I haven’t yet tried any of these but I am just about to order some motorised blinds. I have been looking at both Luxaflex who uses Somfy for their motors and Aspect who use the Rollease Acmeda Automate motors.

For remote control they both offer a hub which then enables smartphone app, Google and Alexa control as well as IFTTT integration. Somfy calls their hub Connexoon and Rollease call their the Pulse 2 Hub

Interesting that the pulse 2 lists smartthings as an iot integration. Might have a chance to get them to allow a he local integration.
