  • I tend to post then disappear lol but what the other person said: at the router level, I added a rule specifically to block a given list of MAC addresses. That included IP cams & the ecobee, then had HA act on data from other sources to adjust temperature.

    The one I was proud of was 433mhz door and window sensors that, if opened for too long, would turn off the heat / air and just leave a fan on.











  • I had the Yale deadbolts at my last house: front door had key backup, backdoor had just keypad. Worked phenomenally, and you can set codes on the fly pretty easily. We had a pet sitter often, so i just created a pin then had it disable when they weren’t coming over.






  • Lol agreed, I’m not buying another one. I mainly wanted to get a look* at how because I’m much better at understanding things when i can hold and inspect them.

    Edit: I’ll add that my main requirement was not needing a new hub to control them, hence this zwave solution 🙂
