AFAIK servo motors you can use to open and close the blinds through 90 degrees or so but not roll them up.

I’ve got the fabric type roller blinds which I want to roll up or down remotely

yeah a regular motor is probably better i guess.

You should be good. Just be aware that Pi's do tend to eat through SD Cards, so either have a couple of spares close by (and make regular backups), minimise writes to the card (typically limit what the Recorder: writes out) or look at booting your Pi from an external SSD/HD.

I assume you're flashing the Sonoff's to Tasmota?

Pi4 so need to have sd and ssD. Going to move everything over to the ssd soon. Still need the SD to boot

I have 1 sonoff on ewelink the rest tasmota.

Will flash the sonoff soon.

What did you need to do to fix the background color?
Click to expand...
In "/config/www/community/vacuum-card" there is a vacuum-card.js and vacuum-card.gz file (Compressed .js file).

Update the .js file by replacing "var(--primary-color)" in .preview with the colour you want:

Code: 
  .preview {
    background: var(--primary-color);
    cursor: pointer;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
  }

to something like:

Code: 
  .preview {
    background: grey;
    cursor: pointer;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
  }

Or to use whatever the theme is using:

Code: 
  .preview {
    background: var(--background-color);
    cursor: pointer;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
  }

Delete the .gz file and refresh/force refresh the dashboard so it gets the changes.

Lonely here today :D anyone know if you can use a E.T. remote with a Sonoff RF bridge?

If you really wanted to use a E.T. remote with Home Assistant you could connect the receiver up to sonoff mini's. The remotes will turn the mini's on and off and you can write automations in HA then to do whatever, so the mini's don't actually need to be connected to any appliances/lights themselves.

Problem is my stuff is all over the place. Going to order the little remote from smartkit with my next order... I deal with 4.

Shouldn’t be very complicated other than making it look neat.

Temperature sensor taking ambient reading and then using Generic Thermostat in Home Assistant.

I do the very same with wall panel heaters and don’t see this being any different.

For that matter if you get the temperature from another source it doesn’t even need to be a TH.

I was planning to use the TH16 with the temperature monitor. Si7021.
Then connecting the underfloor heating (two wires) to load on the TH16.

The thermostat is out of sight so I’m not too worried about the aesthetics.

Don’t see you having a problem with that.

Same I have except I used the AM2301.
 
On a digidoor 2

I had a centurion remote receiver and now added the sonoff SV.

When the sonoff is connected the digidoor does not work. I can hear the relay when I press the button but the motor does not switch on. If I disconnect the SV it works

Both are powered by the garage not sure if that makes a difference.

What is the green line from the sv to the Centurion?

green goes to the centurion before going to the digidoor

My bad that green line goes from SV to com on digidoor.
