Smarthome repo with json files from Home Assistant as well as the setup outline.

Hi there 👋

• 👀 I’m interested mostly in all kind of technologies. Most of them related to either modern software development and/or IoT/Smarthome/Industry4.0 applications.
• 🔭 I’m currently working at Red Hat as transformation expert, both technology as well as people, process and proper leadership
• 📫 Reach out to me on Mastodon
• 📫 Connect with me on LinkedIN

You can find at the moment 2 repositories ... Smarthome information, and another on my special network setup with a /24 PI space which i routed to the house.

smarthome's Issues

Expand espresence + implement triangular mapping / XYZ axis locations

Using espresence to detect person movement.

• Kitchen
• Living
• Dining
• Office
• Master bedroom
• Attic
• Hallway
• Storage
• Garden(s)
• Build floorplan with ESPresence floorplan creator

BMW Connected drive - notifications based on weather and open windows

Building an integration / flow when the weather is bad (rain) so that HA notififies me when the windows are open.

Roborock S7 integration

• Buy vacuum robot
• Basic integration in HA
• Extra floorplans
• Install Lovelace cards
• Build automation to redirect vacuum robot to the trashcan after cleaning.
• Build notifications when brushes/swipers/dustbin/watertank are full-empty-need replacements.

Build wake-up light to replace Philips lights

Currently using wakeup lights from philips but theyre not very fancy in looks. Building a new setup based on zwave remotes / wifi bulbs who will fit in the new mounts which are ofc regular switched lamps.

• Determine setup (zwave remote, node red flow, ECOdim zwave hand-dimmers, HA app on android with "next alarm sensor")
• Mounting zwave dimmers on traditional lights
• Setup node-red flow
• Wait for parts! :-)

Alexa actionable notifications from HA

Using https://github.com/keatontaylor/alexa-actions/wiki as a basis

• Custom alexa skill
• HA config

Sunscreen garden control based on weather

During the hot days - it is wise to implement automatic sunscreen when the weather becomes hotter. WIP

Green/energy improvements - servers

having a 24/7 setup running in full fledge with all the goodies is nice, however i think its good to improve energy efficiency everywhere thru the smarthome.

Below my backlog of items

• Finding a way to remote shutdown PoE power (without too much hassle)
• Shutdown homescreen/dashboard Raspberry PI during the night + startup in morning routine
• Shutdown backup server after successfull backup completion
• Shutdown secondary vmware esx host during fewer usage.
• Start VEEAM backup environment only when needed.

Resmed apnea sensor

Using the resmed custom integration - but currently looking for a way to work with / or circumvent the 2FA auth for the apnea data.

Out of bed lights

Ihave no lights / step out lights under the bed at the moment, probably this will be built in the near future.

Circadian lighting

There are many ways to use lights and mood scenes in your house but i was triggered by using the natural daylight flow. See https://hoarelea.com/2019/01/15/the-ultimate-guide-to-circadian-lighting/ and https://community.home-assistant.io/t/circadian-lighting-custom-component/61246

On of the items i want to test with my house setup. But ofc depending on how the lights can be setup and properly temperature colored.

Garden irrigation

Pending the renovation of the rear garden, implementing garden irrigation.

• Garden design
• Sprinkler location
• Pump / irrigation computer selection
• Node Red flows
• HA Dashboard setup
