Anona Holo Smart Lock or Switchbot Pro?

@EdgarsHomeTech 9 күн бұрын

@@konepolska If you’re planning to use the lock with HomeKit, I recommend going with SwitchBot. It’s very reliable, unlike the Anona, which I’m still having issues with under Matter. Anona works great if you use their app and, in my opinion, is the better-looking option.

I use this automation for my home office and want to use it for our master bathroom but the problem I am having is the presence sensor can't tell if someone is in the shower. So it turns the lights off mid shower. UGH Any tips and how to get around this?

Yes, you need to put a water leak sensor in your shower

@EdgarsHomeTech 2 ай бұрын

Hi, I was concerned I would have that issue myself, but having glass in the shower helps. Even if the glass fogs, the sensor can still detect movement in the shower and keeps my light on. It’s never failed.

Get a door sensor. If the door is closed, keep the lights on. If door is opened, then lights turn off.

And what about the humidity in the bathroom? It won't damage the sensor at some point? I have 3 of them (FP2) but I’m afraid to put one in the bathroom!

@EdgarsHomeTech 2 ай бұрын

Hi, that’s a great question! I’m not entirely sure. I’ve been using my FP2 for a few months now, and there’s been no damage so far. Aqara claims on their website that it can handle humidity up to 95%. I’ll be keeping an eye on this closely. Thanks!

Lovely automation! It wouldn't work for me though. My bathroom has a skylight and gets daylight all day long, so fixed times wouldn't work because it does not get dark at the exact same time every day. Or every season. So I use a Philips Hue motion sensor which is also a Light Sensor so I added the condition of turning the lights on, etc... ONLY when it's dark

@EdgarsHomeTech 3 ай бұрын

Nicely done. I don't have any automation or conditions based on lighting, but I'll consider it in the future. Thank you for watching and for the idea. :)

Thanks Edgar. I’ll be replacing my motion sensor with a presence sensor. Thanks for the tip about zones too.

Hello! Which smart plug do you use for your Washer and dryer?

@EdgarsHomeTech 3 ай бұрын

Hello, I use the Eve Energy smart plug with energy monitoring on my washer. For my dryer, I don’t use a smart plug because it runs on 240V. Instead, I use an NFC sticker as a way to remind me when the dryer is done. Check out my video if you’re interested in how to set that up. Here’s the link to the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJucmHyKa8t4msk.

Does thread means it extends your wifi signal to other devices or do I still need a wifi mesh? Also, if thread doesn’t extend the wifi signal and I have smart lock that is out of range for wifi, would I still be able to control it remotely through my home app?

@EdgarsHomeTech 3 ай бұрын

That’s the beauty of Thread technology-it creates a mesh network independent of your Wi-Fi range. This means that even if your Wi-Fi doesn’t reach the back of your house, Thread devices (such as Thread routers, smart plugs, bulbs, and more) can extend the signal, ensuring coverage in those areas. Thank you for watching!

Did you communicate with the manufacturer, your thoughts about what would improve this product? If so, were they receptive and willing to improve their product to make it more enticing and useful to their customer base?

@EdgarsHomeTech 3 ай бұрын

In my opinion, this product could be improved by adding Thread support. If they release a smaller, round version with Thread at the same price point, it would be a solid buy. Personally, even though it uses Matter over Wi-Fi, I’ve had a pleasant experience with this plug so far. I can’t remember the last time I encountered a ‘no response’ issue. Thank you for your comment.

Looks like a nice lock, the only thing I can think of though is that’s it’s such a shame they went for WiFi only connection, 2.4gHz only to add insult to injury. I love how it looks designed very sleek and nice solid looking. Would’ve definitely picked it up if it were Thread rather than WiFi. WiFi is a hard pass. Not only is it power hungry, but it’s also IMO more susceptible to a variety of interferences.
