Yup. that's the only draw back. I can live with it cos they are cheap.

Btw, how much are other compatible hubs / gateways that works with xiaomi zigbees?

so far i only know Samsung Smartthings hub works with xiaomi zigbees as they using same wave. others sensors are more expansive and need to import from US.

how to adapt echo dot with HA? Where is that config.json & what is "run make" to generate haaska.zip

Setup

In the config/ directory, copy config.json.sample to config.json and update it. Below is a listing of properties that config.json will accept.

Run make to build a deployable package of haaska. This will generate a haaska.zip file that you'll upload to AWS Lambda (if you're used to docker you can try running make with docker build -t haaska . && docker run -v "$PWD":/usr/src/app haaska

Easier way for me was to install ha bridge, then just need to add ha settings (login/ports).
Then all devices added in ha should show up in ha bridge.

I havent bought Pi & installed HA on windows. What should i do on 1st step "On your Raspberry Pi, make sure you are in the Pi home folder:
cd /home/pi/"

im running HA bridge, just for alexa to communicate with vera devices

For windows, you can follow this guide

Yesterday found this site n get the setup done. But dont know how to add broadlink batch file. There is script/https/udp/tcp option, which one work with broadlink? How to generate broadlink batch file? On the HA, i still fail to add broadlink to domain. Copy broadlink script onto configuration.yaml still cant get the broadlink added to domain. Saw some youtube video use HA domain, recall to generate script

For my setup, I don't think I dealt with any broadlink batch file/script
Easier way to add the broadlink devices is by following this guy's steps in the description (he's using it for google home, echo also can)



You'll just need to add your homeassistant ip/login info

Wow hand itchy now. Too bad my house is not ready yet, just finished installed all the Broadlink TC2 today and tested manually. now had to plan where to install my with all my sonoff kits.

I followed this step 4 before this, add the code to configuration.yaml, but still cant find broadlink at domain as in step 5 to call the service

Step 4 code i changed to broadlink ip n mac & even a valid command script, still broadlink dont appear at domain


.


step 4, input the following code into the configuration.yaml code.
switch 2:
platform: broadlink
host: 192.168.1.244
mac: 'F4:56:4A:30:70:D8'
timeout: 15
switches:
tv_hdmi1:
friendly_name: "master chromecast"
command_on: 'JgBIAAABIZMRExITEjYSExMRERURExEUEDkRNxEUEjYSNhM3ETcSNxITETgSNhI2ExMQExE4ETYSNxIUERMSExE4ETcRFBETEQANBQ=='
command_off: 'JgBIAAABIZMRExITEjYSExMRERURExEUEDkRNxEUEjYSNhM3ETcSNxITETgSNhI2ExMQExE4ETYSNxIUERMSExE4ETcRFBETEQANBQ=='
(DO NOT USE MY command on / off code as your tv brand and mine may not be the same) copy the code from the original website https://home-assistant.io/components/...

step 5, access the the HASS web host http://ip address of pi:8123
on the top left.
Under developer tools, go to services, then domain choose broadlink, under services choose learn command. press Call Service and click a button on the remote you are going to learn.

great dummies way to setup home bridge for your pi

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/homebridge-...1123183713?mt=8

they have several good plugins to assist in setup. works flawless with harmony hub, at least i can now activate a scene rather than individual devices on Siri

the interface is also great for troubleshooting for techies too with built in terminal and log reports

Google is having hard time when so many sound sources around

For tc2 integration with home assistant you can refer to this thread

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/integ...erry-pi/8807/69

Or just use the alexa rm plugin for android

Can you share your steps adding broadlink hub?

Is it possible that i missed this installation, PyCrypto-wheel since im using windows? https://github.com/sfbahr/PyCrypto-Wheels

I follow the step to install pycrypto, type in cmd (dos) but error when it want to install

What's the error? I'm not quite familiar with the windows installation since I only use it on my raspberry pi

Also, anyone with sonoff products can try this OTA method to flash custom firmware, no need to hookup wires/use ftdi/soldering.
It worked on my sonoff t1 clone and I even flashed espurna firmware on top of it.

Hi guys, what's the cheapest 2 button wall switch that's compatible with smartthing? The cheapest I found is Aqara ZigBee which is about 99RMB.

Planned to use it to control indoor ceiling lights.

Maybe you could just use aqara switch and tape on the wall?

There's also this one, need to flash with custom firmware for mqtt:

The aqara switch you posted above is a wireless switch. How does it communicate with the wall switch?

爆款智能家居易微联WIFI开关插座86型无线墙壁面板 is reasonable priced, but is it good to have lots of wifi waves flowing around the house? I worried it might weaken my house main wifi.

Oh wait, that's only for xiaomi lights I guess
Maybe you can skip that one
