Thanks have old phone. Will google it. But prefer dedicated device. Will check out smart relay plus light sensor.

Question of the Day: How do you normally pay for purchases in stores?

This, one of my houses was standing vacant for 6 months last year and the neighbours thought that there was someone living there. The house has smart switches which was on a schedule.
Might have been mentioned, but can't find anything on the thread.
Anyone with experience of the Sonoff SNZB-03 ZigBee motion sensors?
They work rather well, but one glaring issue is that their refractory/refresh/cooldown time is about 60 seconds, making them pretty much unusable for detecting and maintaining presence in a high-traffic room like a kitchen.
Bought a bunch in order for playrooms, kitchens, guest loos to lights-out when no-one's present. Contact sensor for bathroom door is probably an option, but (some) kids rarely close the door properly behind them.
Similar issues on some international forums, but curious to know if anyone here has figured out a way, sequence, scene to deal with this.
Other than that, my SNZB-01, 02, 04's are all working great. Using via Sonoff ZigBee bridge.

I use Occupancy simulator in Home Assistant. Same idea, but introduces a realistic random element into the mix.
E.g. instead of turning on lights 6:00 every morning, sometimes it turns it on 5:55 and sometimes it turns it on 6:03. Never the same every morning.
And then between dark and say ~22:00, it will turn the bathroom light on for anything between 1 and 20 minutes. And it will do this anywhere between 1 and 5 times a night.
Here's a writeup (not mine): Keeping Baddies Away with Occupancy Simulation and Home Assistant (webworxshop.com)
I might do this at my own house. I recently started playing around with HA. Still finding my feet
This one is a bit harder, TBH, because it runs on AppDaemon which is a python-app-add-on for Home Assistant that you need to get going first. And then the way that you schedule everything in Occupancy Simulator is also a bit weird.I might do this at my own house. I recently started playing around with HA. Still finding my feet
Also, you do kinda need to have lights etc. working in HA to actually simulate occupants in a house.
But yeah, pretty cool. Every night it runs at 3:00 and figures out a "schedule" for the day (it does this even though the "vacation switch" is off -- so it won't affect anything tonigh).

Did you manage to do anything with this?

I have an issue with one of my Sonoff SV's that I connected to the garage. It keep going offline like in the picture below.
If I disconnect the power and connect it again it starts up and connects, but after an hour or so it starts going offline again until it just stays offline. The SV on the gate is always available, and the wifi AP is between the 2, so I don't think it is losing wifi access. I am wondering if the power supply coming from the Xtrac garage opener is not consistent? It has 24V DC output. Should I add a separate power supply for the SV? Again, the one on the gate is happily running off the power provided by the Centurion D5.

Did you try running a separate 2.4ghz only network for the Sonoffs
furpile
Expert Member
No, only one network with a few AP's around the house. Works well for cellphones etc. Don't have many devices on the network yet, only 5 or 6 wifi switches at this stage.

Are you running Tasmota? You should be able to check uptime to see if the device is being restarted.
I have a separate power supply for my garage unit because I wasnt sure about sleep cycles on the Xtrac.

No, standard firmware. I think I will bypass the power output of the xtrac over the weekend, and hook it up directly to the batteries of the unit. Will see if that improves it or not.

Looking for a "Smart RGB LED strip"
Is Sonoff the only option? Where is it priced the cheapest?

Check up "WLED" unless you need an off the shelf solution
So you have 5Ghz and 2.4GHz on one SSID? Try create a seperate 2.4GHz-only SSID for the Sonoffs.

Expert Member
There is a separate 5GHz WiFi SSID. This SV is the only thing going offline like this.

just connect it straight to the battery then instead of the motors output
