Topics in Home Automation - New Article in Residential Tech Today
Aqara's Presence Sensor FP2 has revolutionized presence sensing with its use of millimeter wave radar.? The sensor is so sensitive it can detect the movement of a person's chest while sleeping under a blanket.? Aqara has just announced several new features for the product.? Sleep monitoring is currently being rolled out in a firmware update and there are more features being planned for future updates.
This article looks at these new features in more detail. You can find the article here: For those interested in earlier articles that I've written, you can find those here: I've found a new site to host my blog so for those that want to see even more content I've written about smart home technology you can find that using the link below. The process of exporting all my old content from Blogger and importing it into WordPress was far from perfect. So there are formatting issues with old posts and images that didn't import. I will see what I can do about correcting some of these issues over time. Thanks |

Re: Crestron Home Losing Control of Roku using IP
#cp4r
Have you tried updating the Roku driver to the latest version (driver ID 4976, v2.0700.0001, last updated 10/13/2023)? Reportedly the latest version of this driver deals with this very issue. Here is an excerpt from the release notes: "Added device connection recovery pattern for loss of communication with device scenarios." I pushed this this to a couple projects and although it has only been about 3.5 weeks I have not heard any complaints. As you may know, drivers are not automatically updated so you will need to follow the process for updating this driver outlined in the CH manual. Let us know how it goes. Godspeed!
Best regards, JWS? |

Re: Kaiterra Sensedge Mini
Fairly straightforward but requires authentication with their cloud infrastructure - no local APIs (discussed this with them at length). Uses an API key you get from their dashboard. Clean information but really a bother that you can't get access from the device directly, $240/yr/device is expensive for a data dashboard. https://dev.kaiterra.com/ |

I¡¯m not familiar with the mini but I will take a look tomorrow? Jay On Tue, Dec 12, 2023 at 6:31?PM ckangis <chris@...> wrote: I should have checked!? I see that Jay Basen has a code set for the 'Laser Egg'... Jay, do you think that the Mini is just a new form factor and thus your code will work with it?? |

CH5 on VC4 help
G'day all,
I've been trying for days now to get a CH5 panel up and running on a VC4 using SimpleSharp.
I can get it working with Simpl but I'm obviously doing something wrong or missing a step.
Would anyone have some example code that they can share?
All I'm after is a page with one button on it and C# code that connects with the web page and receives the SigChange event from the button.
Any help greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Re: PC Monitoring
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýIt might be even better to attach the PC to a UPS and install UPS communication software on the PC. So once the power is cut, the PC will run on battery power and survive a couple of minutes (depending on size of the UPS battery) and then do a controlled shutdown if the power is cut for a longer period of time. Once the UPS is back on power, it will power the PC as well and (based on the settings Michael mentioned below) it will boot up again. ? HTH, Thorsten ? Von: [email protected] <[email protected]> Im Auftrag von Michael Caldwell-Waller ? Is this a computer that doesn't power itself back on after a power failure?? If so, maybe this is the bigger picture problem. |

Re: PC Monitoring
Is this a computer that doesn't power itself back on after a power failure?? If so, maybe this is the bigger picture problem.
That's usually a setting you can change within the computer's BIOS and probably not within Windows... most PC's will have some BIOS "Setup" screen that you can get into immediately upon boot (usually it's F1, F2, Esc, Tab, F10, Del, or some other hotkey) and then, within those menus, is the setting that tells the computer what to do when first powered (the choices are either stay off, turn on, or resume last state when power lost).? More often than not, the default is "stay off". Once you do that, there's a sizeable selection of products out there that can automatically ping computers, and cycle their power if the pinging stops working, if you can safely assume that cycling the power doesn't simply shut the computer off.? Also, Windows might not respond to pings unless you change a setting in Windows firewall to allow it (the ping response might be called "ICMPv4 Echo") |
