It cost roughly $10 AUD in parts (excluding the cabling). If your new to ST_Anything / HubDuino and Arduino IDE then there is an initial learning curve but once you build something simple like a 1 channel relay for garage door opener then you will learn what you need.
Note: i did end up having trouble with the motion sensor as apparently it can get interference from RF or power from being too close but everything else works a treat!!
Yep I just installed the 3a nue zigbee blind motor and it works great. Just have it setup as a nue zigbee dimmer, set "on" as closed and "off" as open. Have it opening in the morning and closing at night on a schedule. And can control it with alexa..
I used a Bunnings roller blind as it has the right inner tube diameter Bunnings blind all worked out great..PS don't buy the ikea blind, inner tube diameter too small..
I think I paid a bit to much, but I'm happy..got to choose the colour I liked.. had to have it..
I think the Ikea blinds will surely be out soon too FYRTUR blinds battery powered.
another news report here FYRTUR blackout shades and I bet they'll be cheaper!
Anyone got any tips on a non hideous light switch guard for AU switches to prevent turn on/off for those that are driving smart bulbs? There seems to be options for rocker switches, but none like our standard clipsal style. What have people done to indicate to family that this switch is a no go?
my blank plates over the existing let me still have access / pretty much blend in (WAF was high) $35 for 10 of them and 2 second install with some DS tape to the top.
Nice. What did you end up buying from bunnings? I'm planning on moving all smart bulb switches to their own plate and then covering it like that, and then other lights that use in-wall switching will still be available.
You found they still allow for the switch underneath though? I've got clipsal 2000 plates, so not sure if that'll fit over that neatly, but I could also grab one to try I suppose.
Yep. Tried it already. Doesn't fit over my clipsal 2000 plates. But just read that the Deta 6000 series is designed to fit, so that is likely a goer. They look super cheap and nasty as well though. Just for getting paint on it.
oh yeah, mine dont fit over as you can see from the pic. But they do blend in and still give me access to the switch. Just the cheapass version of a fix
Bought a toy at Bunnings Sengled JBL speaker and led going to see if I can integrate it later as light and a speaker in the same fitting might be useful. Edit, that hyperlink is a mess fixed it
