Smarthome Dashboard

Setup and Install

  • Buy 🍓pi 3 and sd card
    • pi3 is the only one tested for now. Zero W should work with minor tweaks to ansible code, though.
    • don't get a cheap sd card. Pay the extra $5.
    • install heatsink, put in case, plug into wall. Heatsink is apparently necessary.
  • Follow setup steps

TODO

  • 2022-11-28: Maybe try out Phoenix personal radio station thing https://github.com/pncnmnp/phoenix10.1

  • Debounce track next button(s): pressing it once can sometimes skip 2 tracks.

  • Fix sonos discovery bug (bug in dependency):

System Ideas / Dumping Ground

Scrub for ideas https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16874208:

I basically followed this guide for the web camera parts: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-webcam-server/

I setup my pi without keyboard and monitor (ssh only), and used this guide to set it up itself: https://www.losant.com/blog/getting-started-with-the-raspber...

Here's the list of my hardware: https://www.canakit.com/raspberry-pi-zero-wireless.html https://www.canakit.com/raspberry-pi-camera-v2-8mp.html

Setting up double/triple tap scene for dimmer switch 46203

The device's command class must be manually updated. If not done correctly you will see this warning in zwave logs:

2023-11-12 19:34:55.638 Info, Node041, Received Basic set from node 41: level=255.  Sending event notification.

  1. Add device as usual
  2. Update the scene command class as follows:
<CommandClass id="91" name="COMMAND_CLASS_CENTRAL_SCENE" version="1" request_flags="4" innif="true" scenecount="2">
				<Instance index="1" />
				<Value type="int" genre="system" instance="1" index="0" label="Scene Count" units="" read_only="true" write_only="false" verify_changes="false" poll_intensity="0" min="-2147483648" max="2147483647" value="2" />
				<Value type="int" genre="user" instance="1" index="1" label="Top Button Scene" units="" read_only="false" write_only="false" verify_changes="false" poll_intensity="0" min="-2147483648" max="2147483647" value="7860" />
				<Value type="int" genre="user" instance="1" index="2" label="Bottom Button Scene" units="" read_only="false" write_only="false" verify_changes="false" poll_intensity="0" min="-2147483648" max="2147483647" value="7860" />
</CommandClass>
3. The metaconfig.yaml entry should have double/triple properties:
  • name: office_switch_main
    type: dimmer switch 46203
    node_id: 41
    on_up_double: scene_office_high
    on_down_double: scene_office_off
    on_triple_up: scene_all_high
    on_triple_down: scene_all_off

## Adding Zooz Zen31 RGBW Dimmer
By default the device is added with the wrong specific setting. It needs to be changed from 2 to 1 so that a light entity is created

For example:
