Home Automation - Smartkit

Hello Dolby,

is there a product that will only momentarily switches and then switch off again? I have project where I need to close a contact for about a second and then open again?

thanks
 
Anyone running Home-Assistant on Windows? Thinking of moving my whole setup to HP Gen8 server that only does downloading and occasional media player...

Can that HP not do a Virtual Machine? Although I know that adds overhead.

Edit: but it also adds the ability to create snapshots of the whole virtual machine ect which is awesome for backups

+1 - also interested in this as my Rasp Pi is the first version released and not sure if it would be able to run HA (plus setting it up in Debian is a PITA)

No clue - will have to check. I haven't even seen the thing since installing Win 7 and putting it in a cupboard. (think the uptime was over 200 days last I checked)

I basically want to setup as a dedicated box for
1.) downloading (sabnzbd, sonarr, etc.)
2.) home automation
3.) motion capturing to nas
4.) custom sql db for logging and reporting.

I'll move my media player to its own box. (maybe a Pi - but its in my cinema room - so I want something that does HD decently, previously the Pi had issue with HD sound formats in Kodi)

The pi seems fine with home-assistant, it dies when I add motion, which pushes up the CPU to 30%... without motion it barely moves above 1%.

Sonoff "inching" model allows this natively.

However, other models (basic and SV - tested by myself) allow this with Tasmota firmware - use the "Pulsetime" command in the device's Console to set it. What works is the ON and automatic OFF command (and not the other way around) with the above setup- the "inching" model presumably works both ways

You could look at using something like Unraid and running docker containers for the things you want?

That's pretty much my setup. Unraid works great. You could always put a Windows VM on if it doesn't meet all your needs.

Using a Tasmota enabled SV as well with a pulsetime set to 0.7s - works well.

Would this be the cheapest place to buy it:
