I've been on the search for a WiFi thermostat that works without a cloud connection.  I've seen the Venstar thermostats, which do have a local API. However I'm not a fan of their styling. I recently found the Honeywell TC500A commercial thermostat. The catch is Home Assistant doesn't have a...

Something is going on with the forum. Sometimes when I post or edit, the format is lost and I end up with visible html tags throughout. This seems to occur more often with the quick reply then the full editor.

OmniLinkBridge is a C# service that allows you to control your OmniPro II controller from SmartThings (Web API) and Home Assistant (MQTT). You can also use it with NodeRed (MQTT) to create flows for advanced control of your devices. As the successor to HAILogger is also provides logging and...

Decided it was time to upgrade from my iPhone 6 to XS and the phone won't restore the app as it isn't available in the app store. I tried to restore an older ipa I had before Apple removed the app transfer purchases option and it isn't compatible with iOS 12. This is ridiculous considering my...

With Haiku being discontinued and SmartThings cloud somewhat unreliable I'm looking for a new rule engine / iPhone app / web interface. I've looked at both HomeSeer 3 and openHAB, which have drivers for my OmniPro II, Lutron RadioRA 2, Z-wave locks / plugs, and Amazon Echo devices. I liked what...

Thoughts on a magnet that's 1/16 - 1/8" thick for my double pane windows. They are relatively new and under warranty so I'm hesitant to drill the bottom sill. Plus if I go wireless I can monitor both panes. I bought a GE micro sensor, but even that magnet is way too thick to clear when opening...

I don't recall the light level working like this before and want to see if this was normal for others. I'm running firmware 3.15 with RadioRA 2 devices.   From a unit state of off - Issue On for Duration of 5 seconds, Unit turns on and countdown starts from 5 seconds - Issue Light Level 100% for...

Well this is a first. Somehow when I reconnected the consoles I was off one slot to the left, which caused the 12V and GND to be swapped. The end result is only one works out of three. One says no controller data and the other is going haywire and showing random menus. Anybody know if Leviton /...

This has been a project of mine over the last few months. It started as a way to control my lights as Amazon's Alex integrated with SmartThings and I was already using SmartThings to manage my Z-Wave lock PIN codes. As it stands now I have two way integration with OmniPro units and thermostats...

I finally got around to installing a door opener on my second garage door which had no opener. To my surprise shorting the control wires does nothing. Only their control panel will open / close the door. I purposely bought the opener with the simple looking control (no LCD clock, etc) so I could...

Is there any interest in this? I currently have the OmniPro lighting units integrated with bi-directional status. Since the SmartThings hub can only talk REST or SOAP to local devices I am using my C# HAI Logger application as the endpoint for SmartThings. I'm debating about building out...

I've about had it with Z-Wave. I'm hoping someone has some advice on how to troubleshoot this. I have 4 Schlage Z-Wave locks in my house (all on the first floor and one in the attached garage). I also have 3 Leviton Vizia RF+ VRR15-1LZ outlets. The outlets say they support beaming so I'm using...

I'm trying to add a Leviton VRC0P-1LW as a secondary controller to the Vera to use with the HAI OmniPro. The Vera keeps adding it as a scene controller and displays the error message "Failed at: Setting special association...". I've tried excluding and reincluding, which results in the same...

Is this an acceptable practice to do? My HAI OmniPro II enclosure only has two 1/2" knockouts on the top and bottom. This time around I'm mounting the enclosure to plywood and would like the cables to come in from the top. I was thinking about drilling it out to 1 1/2" and installing a bushing...

When is riser rated cabled required for residential? At my last house I ran a few additional security runs with Honeywell 1103 cable that was CM/CL2 rated. At my new house I'm running all new security and smoke detector wiring and am debating if I need CMR/CL2R or if CM/CL2 is sufficient. I'm...

I'm looking for something similar in an enclosure that activate on 12V. I want to be able to shutoff power to my well pump in case there is a leak upstream of the water shut off valve (pressure tank, pressure switch, etc).

Has anybody used one of these? For $37 it is an awesome deal assuming it is reliable. They have a few different models, but the CR05 stainless steel version looks to be ideal for use with my OmniPro II panel. It needs one relay and optionally 2 inputs to verify fully open or closed status. If...

I'm looking to monitor both sashes with a single sensor. However these windows have no ledge to mount the magnet portion. Any thoughts on how to do this? I don't want to drill the windows as they are under warranty.

I was about to pull the trigger to purchase 20 dimmers and a few keypads for a RadioRA 2 system when I saw discounthomeautomation.com has Vizia RF+ VRMX1-1LZ dimmers for $43. This would cut the cost in half assuming it works. I'm skeptical as I keep reading posts about Z-Wave range issues, turn...

For the new house I'm looking at going all RadioRA 2. For the keypads the PDF manual states only the Lutron wall plates will work. Can someone with RadioRA 2 keypads confirm if this is true or not. I would prefer to just pickup standard metal plates at Home Depot, instead of paying $3 - $9 for...
