As you already know, Sonoff has a marvel of devices, with which we can control everything we can think of, in this post we will see how to use the Sonoff Touch, a Wifi switch that we can put in our homes, replacing traditional switches. Apart from having an aesthetic that I personally love, we can change the firmware to integrate it with our Home Assistant installation and be able to control any light in the house / office.
A good alternative to using Citrix UPM is FSLogix. Since Microsoft acquired the FSLogix company, we can make use of this magnificent solution that no longer requires licensing as it comes with each RDP CAL. It's a marvel, It will prevent the profile from traveling through the network when logging in or logoff, what it will do is mount the user's profile directly on a virtual disk, where the user will work directly. Ideal for environments where profiles are starting to grow and pose a problem.
In this post we can see another of the wonderful integrations that we can do with Home Assistant, since we will be able to geolocate our family in the simplest way. We can have a map and see where everyone is, define zones as Work, Gymnasium, Mother-in-law's House, Ikastola… as well as with automations receive alerts when someone enters/leaves an area and much more!
Another possibility that we can give Home Assistant is to install smoke detectors, These are wireless, powered by a small battery and communicate any notification by radio frequency., There are many types and quite cheap, For just €5 you can make sure that nothing burns in your home or office! This is how cheap we protect ourselves, and in the end we will see how to alert with Telegram in case there is smoke.
If we want to place motion sensors and perform actions based on detecting movements, we will be able to use some cheap Chinese IR sensors that are powered by a couple of batteries, they are small and disguised… In this document we will see how to add them in Home Assistant and how to configure some actions, For example, If we're not at home, Well, send us a Telegram message notifying us of a movement, or at a certain time turn on some LEDs to illuminate.
In this post we will see everything you need for your Home Assistant or Hassio to send you notifications to your mobile phone through Telegram. Something super interesting if you are putting motion detectors or door/window opening sensors and you want to get notices, For example.
In this article we will see something different and that we can give it the use we need, and it is nothing more than being able to monitor a day or a specific date and let us know as the day approaches. An ideal and practical example, Well, to have centralized when the licenses or maintenance of each software/hardware that we have acquired expire, For example; or, My birthday, the 12 and congratulate 😉 me
In this post we are going to see how to control the blinds of our home or office, we start with traditional PVC blinds (in my case) to which we want to put a motor to automate something else and make a Smart Home. It will be super simple, We'll do it all with a Shelly 2.5 to control the upload or download wirelessly, and all integrated with Home Assistant!
Starting from the good objective of each one (and each company), We know that we have to have documented everything we can, avoiding having it in our head or when a technician leaves us do not leave us with vital information, yes or yes we all have to document. So what I said, I leave you Matterwiki, which is nothing more than a super simple Wiki, we can use it as a repository and store all our How To's, Tricks, Notes…
One of the great possibilities of Centreon, is that we can install it on a Raspberry Pi, we can think of it to install any Centreon role, well if we want it to be our only Central monitoring point, as more commonly to be able to use it in remote delegations or in our clients if we are a provider of such a service.
