Smart Home Deals & Offers

I'm not sure about sensors (as I've only bought my first one from this deal) but I use iConnectHue on the iPhone which is much better than the official app and lets you do so much more.

OOS

Or integrate with other services, ifttt or as I've just started to use webcore with smartthings (obviously with extra kit)

OOS

you can change that in settings to come on as bright as you want

How do you check if your heating system works with nest or hive? I have an oil fired boiler.

DEAD

I have a brand new one for sale but without reading the regs im guessing you are not able to post ads or sell on here? Any people can enlighten me? thanks in advance....just curious really.

Ahh I think I must have had a stroke when I wrote that. Ignore me. Sorry!

It was oos at my store So I made an order online on friday to collect on monday But its still processing for the bulbs and hue bridge Does anyone experience the same issue?

Yes, I reserved them Friday night. I should have been clearer in my post, apologies. I had to show the emails in store to help the staff in both stores but was easy enough

Another advantage of not needing to use light switch's is that it reduces your cleaning (y)

Did u reserve them before you went to the store?

Many thanks op for this, much appreciated. Managed to pick myself up two full sets, sadly from different Argos stores. The self service price wasn't discounted but in both stores, the sales assistant told me, I'd pay the reserved price, not the instore price. I even watched one of them over-ride the prices on the til. Got the spare bridge and mini's on ebay now. Could end up being a superb bargain, many thanks again :)

Ur imagination would be your limitation

I use OpenHAB, and have an almost fully automated home (highfive) ...until I move and have to do it all again. You’re right about an addiction though. I’m predominantly z-wave, hue and Somfy blinds. The Ring doorbell is the only thing that fails me, and falls out of my openHAB ecosystem, due to lack of API :(

I would be interested to hear what smart things can add to the Hue experience

Now move to smart things to really take advantage of what hue can do for u. And start a new addiction..

Hardcore! (strong)

Well yea it is if the nest isn't battery operated I can't though, hense my question.

Top info there. Did you get that from the manual?

Wouldn't you be better off sticking with Nest products throughout? Nest = google and Ring = Amazon. Amazon + Google = tech war! I have chosen to stay with Amazon as my Warmup heating is Alexa compatible and now I have bought the Ring through this deal. I have an echo plus and kids have fire tablets. IMHO

ANybody know where I can buy a battery separate for this in th UK? Without having to wait 3 months for it to arrive!?

Then the hassle of getting a crime number, waiting for a replacement, and everything else. Just for something some scally can do in 2 seconds.

Damn it missed that one managed to find one for £26 using the code

It's out of stock

Got 2 of these for 2 bedrooms. Been after the switch for a while. Just need a switch and coloured bulb for my study now

Out of stock already

Shared it an hour ago, 7 sold in 3 minutes. It was at £22, Elgato sensor is at £29 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Elgato-Eve-Wireless-Motion-Sensor-Apple-HomeKit-Compatible-iOS-/401298254145?hash=item5d6f3d6941

So last night I finally unboxed the v1 xiaomi motion sensors. Watched youtube video by smart ome automation and paired them. Renamed them too. I set my smartthings to armed. I' walking in front of the sensors but smartthings not alerting me. What am I doing wrong? The battery also states 0% but on smartthings it shows all connected.

I have not tried OpenHAB yet. With the Smartthings MQTT bridge (Smartapp) https://github.com/stjohnjohnson/smartthings-mqtt-bridge it converts all conected devices into MQTT messages and sends them onto an MQTT broker. The MQTT broker can be used in OpenHAB or as I use, Home Assistant. The plus for OpenHAB is the nice mobile App that is sadly missing for Home Assistant. So in answer to your question if OpenHAB supports the Xiaomi gateway directly then there is no need for SmartThings. Just bear in mind that you can do so much more with SmartThings and apparently then I jesting internally ZigBee v3.0 which should roll out to the general public as a software upgrade.

Thanks for confirming. So if I want to use these with OpenHAB can I just stick with the Xiaomi gateway?Or would it be better to get a smart things gateway?

Got door sensors for less than £6 each today. Search Xiaomi on HotUKDeals

Thanks - I am tempted but have no idea where I would put them :D

Just so people know you can return the pop things to amazon for £60. Here to help.

Well some folks would just see it as basic manners to read through a thread before posting what has already been noted (especially one less than two pages long) - I find THAT completely unnecessary and odd and that's why I thought I would point it out to you. I've already attempted to explain to you how these threads work - your reply is now buried in the middle of this page, so if anyone wanted to come across it they would have to read through the thread, just as I did to find the info originally. What if everyone had your can't be bothered attitude? The thread would be filled with people saying the same thing over and over again... And I'm not sure you can class two replies before this one as "consistent belittling".

Ok I find your consistent belittling scary. All I tried to do was potentially help somebody without reading through an entire thread with a snippet of information I gave that may have helped just one person (and that would’ve been all I wanted) but you have to give me hassle over it. Completely unnecessary and odd

Er, except that of course they WOULD have to read through to get to your post... Jeezo, internet etiquette is long dead isn't it!?

Or by posting it it didn’t hurt and helped anybody else potentially that also didn’t wanna read through it all so yes I am thank you
