I was looking at HomeSeer, specifically their Hometroller Plus, but I was told to check out HASS before I did. Quite often, a cabinet light will 'stick' on, or a similar light wont turn off. I can say "Alexa, turn the cameras on" and she will change the BI traffic light to green.Īlexa now has an actual skill for Harmony Hub which I've just enabled and am working through the kinks at the moment. Example: I tell Alexa to 'turn on goodnight', which turns off all the lights, and turns on the bedside lamp.
#HOMESEER AND ALEXA TV#
IF Plex on the Shield TV becomes "Playing"ĪND the Harmony Hub is currently set to "Watch a Movie"īlue Iris is similar, you get a couple of "Devices" in HomeSeer that list your cameras and the traffic light status, I created a on/off device I can control with Alexa called Cameras, which changes the traffic light Color based on whether it on or off. Now there is a method of integrating that level of control into an Omni panel. HS3 has plugins for Harmony, basically you get a list of devices and all of the buttons for that device, you can create events based around what is happening on the Harmony hub. Most of the controllers and systems out today have an Alexa Skill that is downloaded to the user’s Amazon Echo app, which in turn interfaces with the controller, allowing Alexa to control devices over the local network. We will be giving you some of the best qualities of both companies and will leave the final decision up to you. In this article, I’ll be focusing on tips that work with smart home skill that was created using the official Alexa API. Contro4 is also no less than Homeseer and is equally competitive and well-reputed. HomeSeer currently provides two separate apps (skills) that can be used to integrate its smart home systems with Amazon’s Alexa cloud service.
Plex runs on my Gen8 MicroServer with a Quad core Xeon in it, they're pretty pricey for what you get, the main benefit over a DIY server being remote access while the power is off etc. Homeseer is an extraordinary company that is well known and is in competition with all big names like Nest, Ayedd, and Electronics.
#HOMESEER AND ALEXA UPGRADE#
It was left over after an Upgrade to a Shield TV so put it to use. Hide from Mobile Views: Check this box to prevent the device or feature from displaying in HomeSeer Mobile. The Alexa Amazon interface is included with the. Is Light: Check this box if this is an ON/OFF device and you wish to have it appear as a light (instead of a switch) in the Amazon's Alexa mobile app. Here is the configuration page for one unit (UPB) from the Omni Plugin. The Omni Plugin author's family has taken a fancy to the Amazon Alexa (s) in the home.
#HOMESEER AND ALEXA WINDOWS#
The NUC is basically dedicated to HomeSeer duties, the only reason for this is it requires a USB port which (due to running Windows Server) I can't pass through to a VM on my Gen8 microserver. The Homeseer Omni author is running the OmniPlugin with a few Amazon Echos sprinkled around his home.
