Hass.io / HA into Homekit - My understanding on this is a little fuzzy. I believe this does not apply to Z-Wave devices, and again if I understand this:Ĭorrectly I can control Z-Wave devices such as a Fibaro Dimmer 2 using an Aeotec Z-Stick Series 5 plugged into my Pi. Correct? Have I understood this correctly? If I went for blinds by Somfy I would need their hub for HA to understand and work with them, and if I went for Tado smart thermostats I would need their Internet Bridge for the same reasons. I was worried addons would include every single thing I might need, like the Homekit “addon” to allow HA to be seen by homekit but it seems its just some selected features which I will no doubt need but that I could install through other methods? - Could I? - Is it a lot harder? correct?Ģ The Addons I can install with Hassio are the ones listed here: But its the easiest install and allows me to use addons. Hass.io is a full operating system, if I install this I cannot also install Kodi for example. So anyway… before I start installing anything I would really appreciate some help on the following, making sure I am correct and flagging anything I have got wrong. I do not think I will go as far as having my own PCB’s printed, or building my own thermostats etc but you never know. My plan is to automate lights / sensors / heating and blinds maybe. I have a Raspberry Pi 3+ that arrived today, a Macbook pro, apple 4k tv and iphone. I know little about programming (little means nothing) but enjoy learning and researching (probably more than actually completing a task!) I live in the UK and not having neutral wires in the wall mean things like Lutron, and smart switches do not often work so started looking at Sonoff and the like. I am very new to Home Automation, currently have one set of Tradfri lights, a Tradfri hub and homekit through an Apple TV and Iphone. Firstly, sorry, I know parts of this have been asked before and I originally wanted to post about a week ago and have been working through my list of questions myself trying to determine the answers and now just need some help “checking my workings” and confirming that I have understood correctly.
