  • Presence sensors again!

    Ian Norton • 02/28/2017 at 21:59 • 0 comments

    That nice man Malc Crook (https://hackaday.io/mal8837) contacted me after my last post on this (https://lamm.space/2016/09/10/presence-sensors-revisited/) to say he'd bought some sensors from the same supplier and they were different yet again.

    Malc sent me some sensors to hack and return to him so I've added a new post at https://lamm.space/2017/02/28/presence-sensors-again/ with details.

    Hopefully this will help some people!

    Ian.

  • Presence sensors revisited

    Ian Norton • 09/10/2016 at 18:45 • 0 comments

    In a previous post I talked about 24v presence sensors for Loxone home automation:

    https://hackaday.io/project/4857/log/16523-is-there-anybody-there-click-once-for-yes

    Shout out to Malc Crook (https://hackaday.io/mal8837) and Adam (https://hackaday.io/Bobbsta10) who both contacted me to say that the PIR linked to in the original post is no longer the one you get when you order the same item from the same seller.

    Fear not, for I have hacked the new one this evening and it’s pretty straight forward.

    Ian Norton • 07/12/2015 at 15:36 • 0 comments

    So you've used up your eight digital outputs on lighting circuits but you've got another two to add, what do you do now?!

  • What shall we wrap it all up in?

    Ian Norton • 06/04/2015 at 21:44 • 2 comments

    Any enclosure needs to be easy to access yet provide enough space to get all of our cables in and out without being too big. A tough challenge!

    So following on from my previous post about switches at https://hackaday.io/project/4857-commercial-home-automation/log/16130-switches-are-simple-right let's talk about Passive Infra Red (PIR) sensors.

  • Switches are simple, right?

    Ian Norton • 04/05/2015 at 21:01 • 2 comments

    Okay, I'm editing this as my first attempt has been badly mangled somehow. Starting to regret using hackaday.io for this, seriously guys is there no markdown or something I can use with copy and paste from somewhere else or a preview option?!

    Switches are simple right? You'd think so but when talking about home automation, not so much. Trying to find a UK back box switch of the right kind turned out to be harder than I thought...

  • The software only runs on Windows?!

    Ian Norton • 03/28/2015 at 17:56 • 0 comments

    So from my previous post, you might gather I'm a GNU Linux Open Source toting hippie socialist type. You'd be right :)

    So I bought hardware who's configuration software only works on Windows. It also runs under Wine with some caveats.

  • Which solution to choose?

    Ian Norton • 03/21/2015 at 09:58 • 0 comments

    When I decided to embark on a home automation project, I spoke to a few people, read some websites and did some thinking. You might well expect that for a project that is a substantial financial outlay and a commitment to an eco system that will be with you for a long time.
