HouseBot

I just looked into an Aqara FP2 presence sensor and came around Matter as well. Aqara works with its own bridge or Homey or any other zwave bridge. For me integration with HouseBot has become easy since HouseBot interfaces with Node-Red and MQTT. There are so many options now and most of them use MQ...

Yes, this new version works fine. The data picks up automatically after I cycled my broker. With this I can add some more Air Quality sensors that make use of MQTT.
Another way would have been using Node-Red MQTT and push that data into HouseBot but I like it better when it is native;)

Thnx!

Scott, I setup an MQTT broker in a docker on my QNAP NAS. Thereafter I setup HouseBot (HW Device and a Device to subscribe to a sensor using mqtt. All works fine however when I stop the docker and restart it again, the data doesn't pickup in HouseBot until I disable and enable the HW Device. Could i...

I just created the code below and tested it. It gives me "Congratualations! You...." However after comparing my code with yours, there seems to be no difference and your code is supposed to work. If it doesn't, it is not the code that is wrong, but some other setting. Just try different XM...

Ah, that makes sense now. Never tried that but I will give it some thought and report back if I find something

Not sure what you are trying to do however IFTTT Webhooks work just fine for me. https://my.housebot.com/xc/SPV?D=Your%20Device&P=Your%20DeviceProperty&V=Your%20Value%53{{TextField}}&C=your my.housebot key This IFTTT Webhook gets triggered by Google Home if I ask Google where a certain p...

You did nothing wrong. That's googles part not fully functional but the voice commands should work fine

OK, I must still be running a HB beta and Scott didn't release the latest version yet.

Hi, Do you run the latest version of HB? Mine is 3.52.03 and it has the Blinds function. Create a NULL Device with a name of your choice. Attach two properties to the device 1) Blind State, 2) Percentage. The Blind State should be Alphanumeric and should contain two discrete Values: Closed and Opene...

Really not sure about Windows XP anymore, but 3.52 should be running fine however some dbase conversions have gone wrong in my own setup as well. The image you posted doesn't show. Please repost as that error may point in the right direction. Also not sure about HB.mdb pointing to the default one. M...

Security cams are one of the reasons why I use a VGA matrix. My NVR has a VGA output which is input to the 8x8 matrix. All my touchscreens and tv's are connected to the matrix and the matrix is controlled by housebot. So if somebody presses the doorbell, I can switch my TV source to VGA and display ...

1. What would your general approach be in terms of protocols and hierarchy? HouseBot + ZWave 2. What functional devices would you retain? Which would you consider essential? (security devices, HVAC, lighting, information services, etc) Camera system, Doorbell, HVAC, Alarm, Lighting, Curtains, Locks,...

As long as it can handle eventlisteners and is multithreading. Both at which vbscript is very limited. Sometimes I have to write external scripts because HouseBot cannot the On event. I use node.js to catch events from my Nest smokedetectors because vbscript and therefore HouseBot can't handle it in...

I already call HB through node.js in my Apple Homekit setup. So I would like node.js like vbscript without sacrificeing vbscript btw.

Having node.js in HB would be a great add on. Can't wait
