Controlling our 3D printer with OctoPrint, The Spaghetti Detective and Home Assistant

Well, I think this will be a wild post, So I'm apologizing to you from now on… Well what? We'll try to see how to install OctoPrint to control our 3D printers, we will continue with The Spaghetti Detective so that someone looks for us during the printing and if something inopportune happens stop the printing, or do what you have to do. And we ended up integrating this with Home Assistant, with the idea of creating automations and centralizing government.

Integrating an RF Smoke Detector into Home Assistant

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.

Integrating a motion detector with Home Assistant or Hassio

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.

Raspberry Pi – Relay use, X10 and Motion Detector

  In this document we are going to launch a Raspberry Pi with some very practical functions that can make us think about implementing a home automation system, Super simple and cheap. On the one hand, we will connect a relay that will allow us to switch circuits like the lights at home, and on the other a motion sensor that will allow us to perform the function we are interested in, such as turning on those same lights and therefore not having to turn on the lights in the house anymore =)
