You r right. Totally forget HA can work as hub. It is only work for wifi accessory, but no way to hook onto zigbee or z wave accessory right? Xiao Mi smart home hub have zigbee right? Xiao Mi vs smartthing how to choose if wan the zigbee option?

I checked b4, got, but china timer product, not dare to buy, not smarthome product. By right, safer option is should get high amp contactor n sonoff works as relay. Dont know im right not, this is what i get from google.
I initially wana setup for my 3kw central heater, but later i think it is unnecessary coz my central heater 50L, morning the water is still warm inside. Haha

China also hv their own echo dot like voice command.

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

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/"

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

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.

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

Yes. It needs universal IR device like broadlink RM Pro to bridge with Alexa. IR device can give any command on ur aircon remote control.

Your IR device is preset code& cant learn new IR control? Broadlink rm pro can learn any new IR code from remote control.

In my case
My aircon switch is also beside the switches but rccb trip if i use the aircon neutral because my aircon & wall switch circuit dont share same rccb 😳. My aircon & wall electrical point share same rccb. My lights point or ceiling points own rccb. But i think can recircuit the db box.

I dont like to keep my phone bluetooth on 24/7

Same. i hv two spoiled 3 gang TC2. One of the gang is always on

Who is using raspberry pi, HA to bridge echo with broadlink rm pro? I want to ask about setup HA & configuration.yaml, hassbian.

This is what i mean very earlier post. Even u hv aircon switch beside ur light switch, does not mean the neutral wire can straight forward take from there. Light & aircon circuit if different phase at DB box will cause the RCCB to trip, coz detected as leak current. I abdondon neutral line & use single live wire RF wall switch until it fail only may consider aqara. Another way is rewire ur DB box but dont DIY & get electrocuted, or chase the wall to bring in neutral line

Only broadline RM pro, TV control function work with echo dot app. U need bridge to hv full function & can play with script if u want to setup home assistant that require do lots of homework n google

Lucky u. Mayb new house nowaways use different RCCB for 16A circuit & 10A

Becareful to check for the door thickness requirement. Apparently my door too thin for most smart lock that require to replace lock. My only option is smart dead bolt

New house Light circuit 10A, own RCCB. Aircon 16A own circuit with own rccb. If light circuit use aircon circuit neutral wire, will cause trip at RCCB coz it detect as current leak. RCCB is safety features trip when there is leak of current that dont return to its own circuit neutral line

I bought from taobao small network cabinet around rm 100, not include shipping fees, add on USB powered RGB strip (can change color) to make it more dramatic. 😂 inside is unifi modem & raspberry pi. Echo dot on top
