Smart Lock compatible with Ring Alarm system in c/homeautomation@selfhosted.forum
[–] priyam1309@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Okay so i can get any lock right now and when I have HA setup then I can arm and lock just with HA triggers? The only downside will be that i will have a different physical key for the garage door.

Smart Lock compatible with Ring Alarm system (alien.top)
 

I have Schlage deadbolt lock and Ring doorbell and alarm system installed in the front door of my house. Although they are connected with each other but locking or unlocking the Schlage lock does not arm or disarm my alarm system. I am trying to figure that out. Now i am looking for a smart lock for my garage door. Currently it has a simple Schalge lock (not smart and not deadbolt). The key works with the Schlage smart lock in the front. Should i go ahead with the Schalge lock again? The only pro being i get to use the same key for the deadbolt. Its much costly and the integration with Ring alarm is not 100%. Or do I get a entirely different smart lock which would be cost effective but fully integrated with Ring? Tbh, Ultimately i plan to use Home Assistant primarily. Any help??

Need help with Smart Switches (alien.top)
 

I am looking for suggestions on smart switches which are -

  1. Dimmable
  2. Single pole and 3 way (some are 3 way n some are single pole)
  3. Standard size (so that can fit 4 of these switches in an existing 4 gang box)
  4. Reasonable cost ~$15-$20 (Need about 20 switches)
  5. Can be setup in both Alexa and Google Home

I have been seaching amazon and haven't been able to find any smart switch which checks all the boxes.

I am planning to replace all my light switches in my new home. Ultimatly i am going to have all these smart switches on a custom home automation panel on wall using an Android tablet.

Any help and suggestions is appreciated and please bear in mind this is my first post on reddit.

Thanks
