Dear community, I am new to HA with several years using Jeedom. While I managed to achieve everything I wanted to with Jeedom, I would like to give HA a try for my full automation system. I’m gathering as much info as I can on tutorials and other available platforms.
I have a proxmox server running a good bunch of VM’s and containers so CPU power won’t be a problem. Already installed HA based on the latest image without problems.
I have couple of requirements and therefore questions:
- Requirements (hardware to be controlled)
Tydom 1.0 box controlling window blinds
Zwave network with 30+ devices including fibaro sensors and Qubino switches and heater controllers
Philips Hue hub with 30+ bulbs and other lights
Cameras from UniFi Protect
Doorbird doorbell
- Questions:
- Some of Zwave Qubino switches are controlling some heaters in on/off position only, can HA manage that with a thermostat?
- I am using a second Jeedom box that is downstairs to control other peripherals due to distance that is communicating to my primary Jeedom and pushing the secondary devices to it. Will I be able to achieve that with HA? Or equivalent? (Had to use a second Zwave controller)
- Currently using lighting based on motion sensors in the whole house and every single rooms. I have day / night modes in Jeedom so that motion won’t turn lights on in bedrooms at night. I am sure it is doable with HA as well, could you recommend a tutorial for that?
- All my Zwave devices are included in my zwave controller, will I need to include them all again or will they automatically be discovered by HA when I’ll plug the controller in?
That’s it for now !
I’m sure I’m gonna have some fun restarting from scratch and will be very happy to share my experience with you all.
Cheers
Zoltun
