Why my Meross door sensor would not work with Homey
Study extra about Automated Home here.
Sorry for not sharing updates for some time. It seems folks aren’t exaggerating once they let you know having a child is an extremely busy and sleep-deprived time.
I really want to purchase some new sensible dwelling gadgets and begin connecting them to both my Homey hub (ideally), or Alexa. It’s actually bothering me to have this stunning Homey Professional sitting in my front room with subsequent to no sensible gadgets to play with.
All the higher if new gadgets truly add some actual worth to our lives and aren’t simply novel toys that may annoy my spouse.
I just lately added the Homey talent in Alexa and related my accounts. I’ve obtained a Meross door sensor on the entrance door now and it’s already seen in Alexa, however not in Homey.
I hoped connecting Homey with Alexa would possibly make that door sensor seen in Homey, however I discovered that’s not the way in which it really works. The Alexa talent is for the aim of permitting you to make use of Alexa to manage the merchandise within the Homey ecosystem utilizing voice instructions (which sounds unbelievable), however it doesn’t work the opposite means round.
It gained’t will let you make Homey “see” a tool that’s in Alexa.
That’s one thing I discovered as we speak, good to know.
What I purchased as we speak
I obtained stranded in a close-by shopping center for some time as we speak and ended up shopping for a few Aqara merchandise:
I purchased them in a retailer, however I’m fairly positive they might have been cheaper if I purchased them on-line. However I used to be simply too desperate to get some new toys, so I grabbed them anyway.
I additionally just lately put in a Meross door sensor (https://amzn.to/4dUzK3M affiliate hyperlink) and have an Annke Crater Professional digital camera (https://amzn.to/4ebxWTS affiliate hyperlink) sitting on my desk that claims it really works with Alexa that I would arrange for child monitoring.
That’s the replace for now. I hope to purchase a couple of extra toys tomorrow and likewise must get these new gadgets that I simply purchased as we speak arrange and get them related.
Have an important weekend, discuss quickly.
