Automatic morning
Goal:
- Turn on some "lower" lights when it's time to get up. ( around 5 on the morning)
- Turn off the light when I left home (05:30 on the morning)
- If there is ice out I want the alarm to go off earlier so i got time to melt ice from the car
Requirment:
- Home automation system ( I have Domoticz and RFxcom 433 hz controller, like a tellstick )
- Mobile with the App Tasker
Cost:
- Domoticz = Free
- Hardware to run it on, like raspberry pi 40 dollar ( I use my PC)
- RFxcom = 89 dollar? around that
- RF powerplugs = 9 dollar
- App Tasker = 9 doller for a year ( maybe 5 dollar for buy the app to, was so long time ago can't remember)
Feature:
- I use the same system as turning the light on the morning to also start the coffee maker! Thats awsome!
- Using Domoticz to control light instead of timer to turn on the light when sun goes down and off at 22:00.
- Using it for Temperature control the Aquarium in the summer (turn the lights off based on water temperature)
And if I got more time I will post all the info you need to make this your own!
Make some uploads of the config just as a spooiler :-D
