I used a single color 1 W red LED bulb with a BN-Link energy outlet for all home automation critical alarm indication/annunciation. Note: The constant on, low wattage, WiFi color changing "weather" LED Bulbs doubles as a low wattage night light(s) if located and placed Dark Blue - critical weather alert at 95 F. I used low power, color changing WiFi LED bulbs (120 VAC) to indicate local, current, wind speed and local temperature ranges for easy, quick,ģ0 to 40 MPH Light Red - before critical weather alert.Ĥ0 to 100 MPH Dark Red - critical weather alert at > 45 MPH.
user input location! Just maybe, the Open Weather Service, being located in the UK, has something to do with this inaccuracy? Using imperial units might help? Note: HS rmbWeather Plugin with NOAA and Open Weather services current weather readings do not track exactly for the same GPS/lat./long. Tornado Outside !!!! Only NOAA weather service has this feature. Midday UV Index – Very High to Extreme 8.5-10.5 –> 10 AM to 2 PM (Too much UV sun at Solar Noon time is very dangerous) (High humidity and temperature combined - heat strokes/exhaustion) (Wind speed is too dangerous to be out in.) This YoLink TH sensor works, with no problems, with the metal refrigerator doors closed! 95 F.
YoSmart/YoLink Smart Devices/Sensors used in this home automation project:ġ YoLink Hub (LoRa) - For cloud base Internet YoLink APP and local sensor/device setup.ġ YoLink Wall Switch (LoRa) - LED Flood Light Control.ġ YoLink Outside Power Strip (2 channel) (LoRa) - LED Flood Light Control.Ģ YoLink Outside Motion Detectors (LoRa) - Security & for On/Off LED Flood Light Control.ġ YoLink Garage Door Sensor (LoRa) - For garage door open/close status monitoring/alarming.ġ YoLink Mail Box Sensor (LoRa) (DIY modified/repackaged enclosure using the YoLink Garage Door Sensor)įor mail box open/close door status monitoring/alarming.ġ YoLink Water Leak Sensor / with probe (LoRa) - For Sump Pump High Level status due to pump failure or loss of AC mains.ġ YoLink Water Leak Sensor (LoRa) - Used for under the kitchen sink/dishwasher to monitor/alarm for water leaks.ġ YoLink Temperature/Humidity Sensor (LoRa)- Used to detect high temperature due to refrigerator dual doors left opened/cracked or loss I hope upgrading to smart WiFi sensors and devices, LoRa - smart devices and sensors and the Hometroller Pi G2 will not have to suffer the same fate of the "other" unreliable, costly, automation hardware on trash pick-up days. Note: Before upgrading my home completely, to state of the art home automation, I had X10, PowerLine (Insteon), Zigbee, Z-WAVE and numerous other RF home automation devices and sensors.

Thanks Mike for the FREE mcsMQTT Plugin - a job well done! Note: Plugin mcsMQTT, by Michael McSharry, can do both MQTT read/write to YoLink Outlets.īTW. To any cloud based automation APP control. Most cloud based APPs only have a rudimentary "If then do that control" but the local HomeSeer's "events" are far superior and flexible I used HomeSeer's FREE mcsMQTT Plugin to monitor and read (read only) all the YoLink's "outlets" connected to YoLink's devices and sensors. Then I ordered, from YoSmart/YoLink, LoRa wireless (long range ~ 1500' and AA/AAA battery powered 3-5 yrs.) smart devices and sensors.īy using YoLink's special "Control" I linked all YoLink's devices and sensors to YoLink's AC outlets for HomeSeer's "read only" monitoring. I ordered and received from HomeSeer one HomeSeer HomeTroller Pi G2 Smart Home Hub (Open box & or scratch and dent to save $) HomeTroller Pi G2 V1 Smart Home Hub is used for Outdoor Lighting Control, Personal Safety, Security and Emergency Weather Alerts.
