In this video I demonstrate how the heating are turned down, lights off and roller blinds down when I leave home. I use two Smart Home systems to do this; The first is Fibaro Home Center 2 and the second is a Home Assistant Blue.
The two talk to each other and compliments well.
I use the Home Assistant Companion app on my phone and when it detects I’m connected or disconnected to my home WiFi it runs an automation which in turn runs an arriving or leaving scene on my Fibaro HC2. If you encounter WiFi bouncing you can set a delay in the HASS automation but it’s not perfect.
It looks a bit like the scene in Deus Ex Human Revolution where the blinds raise when Adam Jensen come home.
