cool. humidity is now included in the app and can be used to trigger rules. I will probably push to repo today/tomorrow.

when you get the fan switch installed create another rule for the fan switch with the humidity range it should turn on at.

#624

right it counts down the number of seconds set in the timeout value in engaged settings for motion before it resets to vacant. anytime there is motion within this timeout period the countdown starts again till there is no motion within this timeout period and the room is reset to vacant.

#625

any of you on twiiter? if yes please consider retweeting/loving this one to spread the word:

thank you.

#626

#627

Ok… now that we are dug out of the snow just in time for another storm Wednesday I may have some downtime to install the fan switch and muck about with the humidity sensor and try to set up the master bathroom :wink:

#631

Trying to find the issue of inconsistency but seeing all the issues that ST is having, its probably ST… Really thinking about switching to a platform that has all the basics offline…

#632

thats been my experience as well.

I was looking at hass for myself but a little hesitant because most users may not be comfortable with it.

also playing with hubitat. they have some ways to go. but if they can deliver on the promise its likely to work for most users.

#634

Anyway to get it to recognize google home relay speakers for announcement?

#635

does ST see these as speakers?

#636

not sure, but think so.

#637

then in the announcement section and see if the speaker is available to select there.

UPDATE: updated to github with the following changes:

  • Version: 0.20.5
  • DONE: 7/13/2018
    1. changed message separator to ‘/’ and added support for &is and &has.
    1. added save and restore sound level when playing announcements.
    1. restored lock only capability instead of using lock capability.
    1. added support for lock state contact sensor by @BamaRayne.
    1. added support for lock state switch and contact sensor to lock either on on/off or open/close by @BamaRayne.
    1. added missing dot to nightSetCT range.

changed ‘/’ to be used as the string separator instead of ‘|’. so in rooms manager you will need to update your strings like person names, welcome come greetings etc. also removed ^ and # replaced with &is and &has. here is the correctly formatted greeting/announcement strings as posted on another thread by @borristhecat:

Arrive open

Welcome home &,/How you doing &,/What’s up &,/Long time no see &,/Hey &,/Nice you see you &,/Look who’s home, it’s &,/Nice to have you back &,/Howdy do &,/What’s going on &,/How is everything &,/It’s been ages since I have seen you &,/Where have you been hiding &,/How’s it hanging &,/What’s cookin &,/What’s shakin &,/Greetings and salutations &,/How goes it &,/What’s happening &,/What’s up &,/Roll out the red carpet for &,

Arrive closing

&is in the house! Ooo oooo/&is here./&is home./&is in the house./&is joining the party./&is crashing the party./&is gracing us with their presence./&is dropping anchor./&is dropping in./&is making the scene./&is barging in./&is showing up./&is blowing in./&is appearing./&is breezing in./&is rolling in./&is popping in.

Depart open

Goodbye &,/See you later &,/Bye &,/Live long and prosper &,/Farewell &,/Hope you have a great time &,/Take care &,/Smell you later &,/Adios &,/Caio &,/Au revoir &,/Sayonara &,/Ta Ta for now &,/Catch you later &,/To-da-loo &,/See you in the funny papers &,/Toodles &,/Godspeed &,/So long &,/Cheerio &,/Arrivederci &,

Depart close

&has left the building!/&has gone out./&has popped out./&has left./&has buggered off./&has departed./&has split./&has vamoosed./&has high tailed it./&has escaped./&has eight-six’d it./&has bid farewell./&has flaked off./&has taken a hike./&has withdrawn./&has exited./&has vanished./&has disappeared./&has evacuated./&has retreated./&has taken their leave.

hows that master bathroom looking these days? humidity sensor working as it should? :slight_smile:

#641

Honestly … i’ve been traveling for work a LOT … and when I get a couple days @ home I’m most likely going to move a ton of stuff over to Hubitat …

Hows the port of Rooms Manager to HE going

#642
