    Automation - DC current measuring device

    just had a quick look, so the pulse grow can be integrated in to HA it seems. good to know, as its a nice device. but just for the humidity? a 50th of the price will do. of course rocket can consider the spectrometer version as it would a nice to toy for him for sure.

    Automation - DC current measuring device

    nothing wrong with shelly, i havent seen if their plug monitors power. if you use a relay same for this, needs power monitoring. they have their own ecosystem while beeing very open, can be easily integrated in to HA, but i cant help much there as i havent used one of their devices. Basically...

    Automation - DC current measuring device

    yes and as there are so many options it can be a bit overwhelming. have you ever build a pc? made some bios settings, installed a system on it? then i would go straight for a prebuild x86 mini pc, make 2 bios settings, plug in a ubuntu stick, do some magic and done. often a Raspi is used for...

    Automation - DC current measuring device

    can you link me to the information to the relays? would it be capable to monitor just the wattage of a plug/realy an use that as a rule? i havent found some like this. goin only after a humidity value of the pulse and guess, well now the quest will prob run, i act, isnt that great and one need...

    it would be covered well by standard features, no need to write fancy configs. so, your quest have its humidity meter, nothing to setup. smart realy or plug zigbee with power monitoring, 0-10v zigbee dimmer/s a sonoff zigbee 3.0 usb stick youll need to plug in to your HA that would be...

    Automation - DC current measuring device

    i ment youre using the smartplug or relay to monitor the power of the quest, you can leave it switched on for this. youre mislead by the term "smartplug", they offer you also constant power measurement. so when your quest got triggered by your external sensor or internal, your HA will know that...

    have you got yours? ordered one too to test, but might build me a small device with some channels at some point. the low side 5in dimmer ones didnt cut it, i may use it for a veg box driving some strips directly by a CV powersupply or i use it for some PC fans as enviroment fans, they normally...

    Automation - DC current measuring device

    for the 5ch dimmer, i fear the low side switching is problematic. Tuya Smart Zigbee 3.0 0-10V 1-10V thats one looks better suited, 1ch just of course. ..bought me one of these from china for 16 bucks. price is ok, but it sums up for a lot channels. may really need to build my own device there...

    Automation - DC current measuring device

    the smart plug would be usefull to you as it also gives you the current wattage used by the dehuey, so you see its running and theyre the easiest to use relays too for everything with a plug. is the quest the dehumidifier? if your quest is hardwired its prob better to use a hardwired relay...

    ...ok made some quick tests and connected one channels by some bare wires to a meanwell 60W hlg have a red channel on, no joy. need to scope the signal to say anymore. so for meanwells these special made 0-10v dimmers are prob the better choice, going to order some myself. back to you initial...

    i will let you guys know, so you dont need to spend any before knowing, not much data given on these as said. i did flashed some of my older gosund smart plugs, similar as the S31, with tasmota by using a USB UART. but its no joy, ok for a few units, but not a dozen plugs, needs some tight...

    Automation - DC current measuring device

    btw i bite the bullet and bought a 5 in 1 controller tuya zigbee wifi smart led dimmer. it will prob fix the dimming "issues" we have with our meanwell drivers. bought a 3-24v powersupply too and plan to set it to 10V, rest is halfway self explaining. meanwell dim circuit is protected by a 75K...
