In this post we are going to try to explain how we can make a plan of our house and integrate it into Home Assistant, with the intention of integrating the devices that we already have in Hassio and giving life to the plan. It is something very attractive and above all visual, It is something they will appreciate at home, since with an image we can see the state of our home and we can interact from it with the devices that we add.
If you have the pleasure and pleasure of having a Volumio to manage the audio of your home (or company), You know how to listen to your MP3s, online radios or Spotify (inter alia) and you also have various speakers with Snapcast distributed, We can manage it like not, from our beloved Home Assistant, Take a look at it, it's amazing!
Well, This post is loaded, where we are going to see different products that also combine them make magic. We're going to connect a WS2812B LED strip to a NodeMCU and load WLED to get some really cool effects, we will also mount LedFx to move the LEDs with audio and we will end up presenting everything through Home Assistant for home automation control.
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.
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 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!
Start the march! The first step in my case (after having Home Assistant installed), will centralize and receive all radio frequency signals with the fabulous Sonoff Bridge RF; and then send the sensor data to the MQTT Broker that we will mount in Home Assistant. That is, the Sonoff Bridge in this case will listen by RF and transmit by Wifi to the Hassio any data that interests us.
