Системная инженерия на диване, или как я подключал китайский торшер к умному дому

31 декабря в два часа дня в нашей семье состоялся внеочередной стендап, на котором было принято решение произвести деплой семьи в новую квартиру до наступления Нового Года. Ремонт квартиры, за исключением таких мелочей как шкафы и шторы, был уже закончен, альфа-тестирование произведено. Да и располагается она в 200 метрах от старой, так что релиз выглядел безопасным. К концу новогодних праздников бета-тест квартиры был признан успешным, откат релиза не потребовался.

So, thanks to over-watering our monstera plant:

1. the leaves started to turn black
2. i said fuck it, went to Ali Express and bought some Zigbee plant soil moisture meters so we wouldn't do it again
3. Turns out they're #Tuya, and the versions I bought weren't supported by the year-old version of #Zigbee2mqtt that I'm running
4. So, to upgrade to a version that supports the sensors, I had to go from 1.3.9 to 2.3.0
5. Which was backward incompatible with my old settings, so I had to fix them up
6. And that changed the MQTT payloads sent from Z2M to #homeassistant so I had to change a bunch of automation triggers related to light switches and the TV that were written years ago and had all sorts of legacy shit that no longer works

Moral of the story: dont' over-water your plants.

Ich bin gerade so verärgert über Tuya, dass ich überlege, all deren WLAN-Geräte rauszuschmeißen.

Welche #homeassistant Tipps habt ihr?

Welcher #zigbee Stick ist gut?

Tuya Announces Tuya AI Development Platform for Faster AI Adoption

Stellt sich heraus. Selbst wenn mensch nur das billige china tuya smartzeugs nimmt, in der zigbee variante..

Und damit eine haustürklingel abbilden will.

Geht sogar _DAS_ out of the box mit fertigteilen von ali... ;)

Benötigt:

Zigbee Gateway (läuft eigenständig - ich hab 'n multimode gw - kost nur 8€ oder so mehr)
Tuya smart app mit china cloud (leider).
Tuya Zigbee Smart Scene button.
Tuya Zigbee Siren.

Und wegen der funkdämpfung und strecke im haus, noch einen zigbee repeater halt.

Das ganze läuft im 868mhz bereich und is daher deutlich durchdringender als wlan bei 2,4 oder 5+ ghz... yay ;)

Next step, home assistant server frickeln und mittels tuya convert die ganzen teile gen home assistant updaten.

Das kann noch was werden.

Aber immerhin, ein wichtiger teil der gewünschten funktionalität ist als POC schonmal implementiert. ;)

#IoT #ZigBee #Smart #Tuya #Cloud #China #Home-Assistant #TuyaConvert #Aliexpress #AliexpressFTW #RandomShit ;)

#mobileServer #neuesHandy

Tschautschau auch:

• #Tuya ( und alle, die da mit dem Feuer spielen )
• #Zigbee
• #Zwave
• 433 und 869 MHz Automation

Auch das habe ich nun über 12 Jahre probiert und viel zu viel Geld zum Fenster hinaus geworfen.

Taugt alles nichts.

#Smarthome? #Bluetooth und #IR.

I (tried to) set up a Tuya gateway and two PIR motion detectors. One fell down, I didn't mount it well enough.

Anyway…I have never gotten a motion alert, but I regularly get alerts telling me the one detector is offline. If I go look, I see motion events being recorded with time stamps…

Is getting useful alerts strictly a paid thing?

Перепрограммируем заводской датчик CO2 Zigbee от компании Tuya

Предыдущий проект о перепрограммировании заводского термостата вызвал достаточно большой интерес у сообщества (ссылка будет в конце статьи). И вот поступило предложение проверить, можно ли таким же образом избавиться от спама на датчике CO2.

@rantanlan bist Du eigentlich mit #OpenBeken weitergekommen? Letztens ist ja mein #Tuya #ZHQ01 Smart USB Wifi Switch gekommen. Hab irgendwie keinen Plan ob der jetzt befreibar ist oder nicht. Im Thread dazu https://www.elektroda.com/rtvforum/topic4023290.html steht nur "firmware 1.3.18 - not cloudcutter exploitable" und "OBK template" mit Pinout. Mehr Info gibt' nicht in dem Thread. Also noch nicht hackbar?

In a neighboring office, there is a device (some kind of smart Tuya gadget based on the MAC) that keeps trying to connect to our WiFi router.

```
hostapd: phy1-ap0: STA d8:d6:68:... IEEE 802.11: authenticated
```
We have fired and disabled it.

(For some reasons not specified here, it is not an option to go over and ask them what it is.)

Is there anything we can do about this? How common is this sort of thing?

I now use 3 of the #Ikea #INSPELNING smart plugs (beside some older #Osram and #Tuya ). One costs €10. And now they work fine with the latest version 2 of #zigbee2mqtt

#HomeAssistant #z2m

Hey, #smarthome users!
What are some #ZigBee EU smart plugs with energy monitoring you can recommend? Except #Tuya and #Aqara

What about #3reality? Or maybe #Bosch?

#homeautomation #AskFediverse #homeassistant #zigbee2mqtt #z2m

A reminder that you should never, ever trust #IoT companies, unless they have a proven record of working with open standards and being developer-friendly.

A few weeks ago I did some renovation work in my bathroom, and I had a chance of upgrading my smart lights (from one single Hue bulb to 5 color spotlights).

Unfortunately, Hue wasn’t an option this time - we lowered the ceiling to fit the new pipes, and since Hue spotlights are quite bulgy installing them would have meant losing 3-4 more cm of ceiling height.

So after some quick research with the contractor we opted for a bunch of #Tuya lights, which were the only smart spotlights flat enough to fit into our space constraints.

Connecting them to Platypush was already painful. No ZigBee/Z-Wave/Bluetooth. Each of those lights is basically an embedded Linux system that communicates over WiFi with its own proprietary protocol, and with the mobile app acting as a virtual bridge (what a waste of computing power, IP addresses and cognitive burden of learning a new protocol for something that has already been solved many times over by ZigBee). There is a way of communicating directly to the device over WiFi, but it’s mainly thanks to reverse engineering efforts whose mileage may vary (depending on model and firmware version). And those usually require a Tuya API key (something that I haven’t yet managed to put my hands on, because their developer website is slow, buggy and prone to sudden crashes, and getting a developer account involves jumping through lots of bureaucratic hurdles being a Chinese-owned company).

So I’ve resorted to a workaround - at least these lights work with Google Assistant, so I’m sending text queries to the assistant over the old API whenever I want to control them. Suboptimal, slow (1-2 secs before the lights change state), but at least it works.

Now this.

If I want to keep using the smart features of the lights that I’ve regularly purchased, I need to pay for a subscription. Why? And why wasn’t this made clear in big capital letters on the product description as well - like this product has a trial period of 30 days and then it requires a subscription to keep functioning?

Luckily it seems that the subscription is required only for business accounts (not sure how they’re going to enforce it or even check it though). But I know that in this kind of business models things are always one step away from a shitty PM taking aggressive “revenue stream decisions”, and pushing a software update to all lights that requires a paid subscription from everyone. And customers have no way of knowing that in advance - except when one morning they enter the bathroom to brush their teeth before work, and the lights suddenly don’t work anymore.

I want a button(not a socket) to turn a light on/off.

1. It needs to be wired (USB C ideally).
2. It needs to NOT be zigbee or Tuya.
3. It needs to be fully compatible with Home Assistant so this rules out TPLink/Tapo
4. It needs to not have a separate hub but I could maybe compromise on this if needs be...
5. It needs to be < £20

Think ESP based hardware in a case w/ USB plug and a user switch..

Any suggestions/ideas?
