I use Netatmo additional Module in my wine room. I have indigo check (Thanks Berkinet!) the temp, if it goes above a certain temp (or the main unit fails) I have the additional AC unit kick in to save the wine.
I use SecuritySpy (Thanks Perry!) to turn on outside lights if motion is detected, Someone in the pool that shouldn’t be, etc…Also emails me
Use Insteon outside Module to turn on a single valve sparkler in our courtyard. Built a simple schedule based on Month. Auto turnoff the module gives me the duration for the sprinkler on.
For Closets, Pantry, Laundry/Utility rooms, I set the timer when the light is turned on, Dims to 80% after X Mins, and off if its not upped to 100%. (These also reset the Main Timer below)
The most Aha moment I had: I have a 60 Min Main HOUSE timer that is controlled by my 3 Zone Timers Zones (re-loads the main). These each get kicked off my either Motion Detectors
OR Light Switches (yes using Light switch to detect motion). Each Zone controls a HVAC unit Temp range. If the timer expires in a zone, (i.e. no “motion” is detected” this Turns to HVAC to AWAY. If all timers in each Zone Expire, then the house goes into Away mode (Turns off lights/Sets Security/etc). A timer reset, resets the MAIN house timer (or reloads it).
Enjoy! I have been!
THANKS!
