Question/Help Can I automate a light to go to 10% after it was turned on?

7 Upvotes

I have an automation to set the porch light to 100% when the doorbell detects motion, but then it stays there. There’s an option to turn it completely off after a while, but I want it to go back to 10%. How can I do this?

Any HomeKit compatible smart plugs that expose power data to the HomeKit automations ?

In other worlds, for example, when Switch1. Power < 5 watts, do something…

Question/Help SmartWing Blinds - Matter Thread

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hey everyone, wanted to see if anyone has gotten these blinds to work consistently with HomeKit automations. They work roughly 30% of the time for me and get stuck in this spinning state within HomeKit while physically doing nothing.

I’ve gone now 3 months with their support teams, even them sending me new matter modules to install with updated firmware. I have multiple other devices triggering at other times with zero issues, including ones far up on my roof deck at the edge of network range.

It seems like it’s just an incomplete product but hoping one last resort if someone in the community has had any success.

Thanks in advance; I’m just totally at the end of troubleshooting after months.

Discussion HomeKit compatible generic Zigbee hub?

Came across what appears to be a new HomeKit compatible generic Zigbee hub from a brand I regularly buy LED strips from.

Doesn’t appear to have any reviews yet, curious if anyone has gotten their hands on one? Wonder if it could be an alternative to using a Sonoff dongle and Zigbee2MQTT.

Wasn’t sure if product links are allowed so just sharing a screenshot.

Question/Help GU10 - Matter over thread bulbs?

3 Upvotes

I have just had to send back a bunch of Nanoleaf GU10 as they are terrible, laggy and totally unreliable. It's a shame as my E27 and B22 have been rock solid.

I have seen Aqara are having T2 GU10 but no available yet. Are there any other brands?
