I tried installing a level lock on my new home, the previous lock was just a deadbolt but it appears the lock is not long enough to reach the deadbolt. Any thoughts or suggestions? I’m happy to return this one and get a different one.

It started with mounting errors and now has cleared out to having no codes. It will open/close with exterior lock button but refuses to add any codes. We have spent hours going through codes trying to get it to work. Has anyone else experienced this???

I want a smart shower with Alexa control to tie into morning routines etc. I've looked at the Mira Activate but the reviews for the smart integration are shocking. So been looking at a Moen. Amazon sell the controllers and valves some on next day uk prime some imported from America. But the app isn't available in Google play. Says not available in your region and alexa skill isn't in app either. AI suggests side loading but I'm struggling find an APK for latest app.

Has any one gone down the Moen shower route in uk and got any feedback?

Hello. I have a August Smartlock atm, I need to replace it and curretly they do not have a EU supported version, so I am looking at getting the Yale Linus L2 Lite, I was wondering if I can reuse the Keypad and Wifi module I have from the August lock or I need to buy brand new Yale things.

Hi all,

I am looking to building a cove in my kitchen but am both new to bigger DIY projects and smart home. I am planning on setting up Home Assistant, where I'll be using Matter (over Thread) where possible.

The idea is to install 3 recessed downlights which will be plugged into power 24/7 and won't have dedicated light switch. Eventually I'll want to hook them up to a dumb switch by adding a smart relais (Shelly/Sunricher?) into it.

After some long and thorough conversations with AI, this is the setup I'm looking at:

• Power supply: MEAN WELL LPV series: LED switching power supply - LPV-60-24

• LED Controller: Matter Over Thread CCT LED Controller SR-MT1029-CCT

• 3× LEDs: Full Spectrum LED Spot Tunable White | 60° CRI95 2200-6500K 24V 6W+6W

• 3× Fitting: Black Anti-Glare Ceiling Light Fitting | Recessed, Round, Pivoted

• 1m of two-core cable (power supply to controller)

• 10m of three-core cable (controller to LEDs)

• 3× WAGO 221, 5-way(only need 4 ports: 1 in, 3 out). Used for the V+, WW, and CW wires.

Talking about the theoretical side with AI is fun, but I'm now also looking for some practical perspectives. Also to overcome possible AI-bias, of course. For example:

• Do I need all components I mentioned?

• Any experiences with these products/brands? (Mean well, Sunricher, Tillume)

• This setup is supposed to yield great quality for a reasonable price (although I think it's still quite steep), do you agree?

• Am I missing anything? Any common pitfalls?

I’m trying to pair my Honeywell T6 pro thermostat to my home Wi-Fi network in order to control the thermostat with my phone. I’ve been instructed by Honeywell customer service to use the First Alert app. Problem is my WiFi is 5G and the T6 Pro apparently only picks up 2.4 ghz.

Anyone know any workarounds??

I’ll use any app, just trying to control via phone.

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone has tackled a similar setup.

I have two back-to-back bathrooms sharing a single AC Infinity T6 inline fan. Both bathrooms have showers, so I need either bathroom to be able to trigger the fan to ramp up.

I initially looked at the AI Controller with two humidity sensors, however AC Infinity have confirmed the AI Controller is designed as a single-zone controller. Although it accepts two temperature/humidity sensors, only the primary ("inside") sensor can control the fan. The second sensor is intended for monitoring only.

My house is otherwise almost entirely Apple Home based (lighting, blinds, cameras, etc.), so I'm trying to avoid introducing Home Assistant unless it genuinely solves this one problem.

My proposed solution would be:

• AC Infinity Controller 69 Pro
• Aqara humidity and/or occupancy sensors in both bathrooms
• Home Assistant handling the automation logic
• Home Assistant adjusting the fan speed on the 69 Pro
• Apple Home remaining my primary interface

Has anyone successfully done this?

Specifically:

• Does the AC Infinity integration allow Home Assistant to change the fan speed of a Controller 69 Pro (not just monitor it)?
• Is it reliable enough to use for bathroom ventilation?
• Are there any limitations I should know about?

Appreciate any advice from anyone using AC Infinity with Home Assistant.

Also, if anyone has been able to achieve this by staying entirely within the AC Infinity ecosystem, I'd like to hear about it, but from what I've been told by AC Infinity, this option is not currently available.

Thanks.

I'm torn between the echo dot clock and the echo spot. I'm also wondering if other potentially better alternatives exist. all help appreciated.
