Hi, I started a couple of weeks with Home Assistant and it is already working very well, except some complicated automation rules. Then I noticed Node Red and I think it could help me. I installed it just a couple of days ago and I was checking the internet for some tips and tricks. I have alread…

Hi, nice project you are working on – it sounds like you could use some RBE nodes (report by exception). It can be set up to report only changes from the previous msg, or differences beyond of a certain percentage (deadband). There are also some contrib nodes that will report only when a value leave…

Dear Johannes, I have built a similar solution but with other HW to control my Markisen (auf Deutsch denke ich), Awnings in english. The brand is Elero and it is working very well since at least 5 years. To measure the Sun intensity, I use a light sensor for the 1-wire network (OneWire), the sensor…

Thanks, very intersteing. For now I made a different approach. I replaced the Home Assistant Trigger by an Event_State and afterword I have added a switch (True and False, depending on the Threshold). Maybe this could be my solution. But I will also look into your suggestions. Br, Johannes

Thanks for this answers. Very interesting. I am using a Ventus W830 as a Weatherstation. I had this already before I started with HomeAutomation. If this is working well I want to change to a “offline” version. Regarding the Elero: What Bridge are you using? I have also elero for my blinds, but s…

For Elero, I have made a really nasty trick; I bought “cheaper” wall mounted buttons, took them apart, mounted 433 MHz radio remote controlled relays with contacts simulating button press for up/down. Replaced batteries with 3V power supply, everything put into a new nice looking box. Inside, well…i…

@krambriw Maybe you could give me some hints on how you resolved it with average values. I tried it with the timer, which should have a similar effect, but I have the problem that either one of the timer is called whenever there is a change on the solar radiation... [image] Nr, Johannes

Yes, you use the “Smooth” node, feed both with the same value, set one for 5 readings (if you have a reading per minute), the other to 30 readings. At the outputs you get an averaged value

I am still fighting with the basics... I am using now the smooth function and I guess it is working. But how can I solve the issue that the Close or Open is only triggered once? At the moment it is triggered every minute due to the injection. [image] Br, Johannes

I think this could be of interest (Elero). Seems only an Elero USB stick is needed, price is around 129 euro. http://www.smarthomedirekt.de/category/elero-online-shop/elero-centero/ I found a discussion & full implementation for openHAB where the API available from Elero is used https://community…

Ok, this is the limitation. I have shutters and therefore I would need 8 Remotes… Also if I would group rooms together I would still need 5 remotes.

So I will stick on the existing Remote - Elero Tempotel 2, which allows me at least sunset based control.

Br,
Johannes
