I wanted to write this post, I have been looking for a good solution for a long time, Stable and reliable… And of course, ESPHome has the answer. In this post we will see how to read the water consumption of a regular water meter, Let's go, The one we have at home; and visualize it with Home Assistant.
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.
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 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!
We started a series of super interesting posts, where in this first one we will see the installation of Hassio or Home Assistant on a Debian machine as a container will be quick and easy, From there, it will be time to grow and centralize all our devices so that we can manage them from here. Home Assistant is going to become the brain of our home automation system, From here we will know the status of each device and carry out the corresponding actions that interest us.
In the previous document we already saw how to have Volumio 2 perfectly mounted on a Raspberry Pi and we discovered how simple it is and how ideal it is to think about using it as an interface for our home audio system (For example). In this post we will see how to install SnapCast in Volumio and be able to stream to other Raspberry Pi with a speaker and make an impressive cool background music!
In this document we will see the steps to follow to install temperature sensors on a Raspberry Pi, the creation of a database to store temperatures and a script that takes the temperature periodically. We will create a website that will allow us to obtain the current temperature as well as a graph with the temperature history. To curl the curl, We will put buttons on the website that will perform tasks such as turning on/off a thermostat!
