Ideas for devices

You can also probably use the same idea with the app called Tasker (both on your phone and watch). I prefer using Macrodroid as I find the interface easier to work with.

Tasker I was not able to see it on the watch.
Ok now other question. I have buttons which will change some global variables. Now I try to play messages on Sonos to know if I Triger or not the change. I am looking for some time for battery leds with different colors which I can stick them somewhere and to be able to change color.
Like when my lights on corridor are triggered by movement one color and when I disable movement than other color.

So any one has found such device or has other idea?

Thanks
Larry

cohoman,
Can you give more details on how you made this work?
Can you post the code in Maker for the HTTP endpoint?

First, I developed a way to trigger my garage door to open and close in Hubitat. Since I have a Chamberlain MyQ Garage Door opener (with security feature), I used a spare garage remote control with a Zigbee relay setup as a device in Hubitat (see this post for details). So from Hubitat I can set the Zigbee relay switch to "on" which triggers the garage door remote control (note, the Zigbee relay is configured to be a momentary switch, so it turns on then off after 2 seconds).

I then install the "Maker API" app in Hubitat and added the Zigbee relay device as one of the allowed endpoint devices. From the Maker API app page you will see instructions on how to control the endpoint devices by sending an http statement to your Hubitat Hub (either by a local WiFi connection or through the cloud). For example, the http statement below will trigger my Zigbee Relay to turn on:

http://192.168.50.80/apps/api/370/devices/574/on?access_token=(my specific token password)

So, my Hubitat Hub is connected to the local IP address of 192.168.50.80 and my Zigbee Relay device is number 574. You now need a way to send this http statement to your WiFi router so it will trigger Zigbee Relay device on.

There's a few different ways of sending this http statement on my Galaxy Watch 4, but I chose to use the app called Macrodroid. This app is loaded on my Samsung S21 phone and it has a companion app for the Galaxy 4 watch. So, I created some scripts in Macrodroid that will send the http statement request if I select an option on my watch. That's how I can trigger the garage door to open or close from my watch. Hope that helps.

Thanks cohaman for the info.
I do have a ZB relay board and it works from HE fine.

My issue is getting the URL to trigger HE.
I can get the URL to trigger the relay board when I run it from a browser.
On my cell I have Automate for cell automation and I just installed Macrodroid which does look nice but I'm not that familiar with it yet.

So in Macrodroid I added an action> Application> HTTP request.
This is not working from my cell. I have tried to 'Test Action' from Macrodroid but doesn't do anything.
Just wondering if you can see anything obvious in my macro setup.

You may need to change the method from POST to GET

That did it. I initially had it set to GET but probably didn't have something else set correctly.

Thank you.

So I also was able to configure this on my Galaxy Watch 4 and it works perfectly thanks to this thread.
Now does anyone know if a Macrodroid macro on a this Watch 4 can be added to the left swipe tiles? As it is now you have to swipe up, open the Macrodroid app and press the macro.

I know... life is hard, right?
:sweat_smile: :wink:

Unfortunately, the Macrodroid developer has not created Tiles for his Wear OS App.

Ok thanks. I thought that was probably the case.

@laurian.cuzma did you ever look at @iharyadi presence sensor? It's got good range on it and it could potentially do what you're asking.

@rlithgow1, thanks for advocating my Arrival Sensor project. @laurian.cuzma, I keep small stock of the arrival sensor if you are interested on them. You can get more information here.

@iharyadi , I was wondering if you've been following the mmWave craze lately? Any plans on making some of these to connect with Hubitat?

Please! :grinning:

@iharyadi - add me to @bptworld's list!

I think @kkossev was looking at the motion sensor but having major issues with chattiness

Well, Tuya microwave sensors are working, although I didn't have the time to experiment with all the different adjustment options.

Although they are rather chatty when activated, my Zigbee mesh handled it, I have practically not observed noticeable delays with other sensors and actuators.

BTW, there is a new model, much better looking than the previous

EDIT2: removed the link, as it turned out that this device not a mmWave radar, but just a PIR sensor with some advanced presence detection algorithms embedded into the sensor firmware.

The full range of Tuya Human Presence mmWave radars that are supported in Hubitat by a custom driver is here.

@bptworld, I come across the thread early on. It looks interesting. I was working on something else and was not paying to much attention to the mmWave too much.

My Environment Sensor has Binary Input where I suppose one can connect the mmWave module. We could get the detection through the Environment Sensor.

I am not sure 100% about the control part through UART because of I added SLIP protocol on top of UART. My understanding is that the UART is used just for configuration if you want to customize the mmWave parameter.

I am not sure how much demand there is for mmWave. If there are enough of us, I can perhaps make Environment Sensor without any environmental sensor. We just use the expansion part of the Environment sensor to talk to the mmWave module.

Thanks
Iman

I truly believe mmWave is the next step of Home automation
Check out this homemade version (Note its Wifi and not Zigbee)

While this technology introduces it's own challenges for fining tuning to get just the right level of motion and presence indication (and how early) it offers a whole bunch of advantages over PIR in an outdoor setting where sun/heat/orientation/and often waterproofing present challenges.
