At some point, ZenseHome added MQTT support for their system, so I created this:
Solution 1
| draw.io Diagram | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Pressing the Switch send a signal over 220V cable to the ZenseHome box, that post a message on a MQTT Tpoic, that Home Assistent picks up, and sends a toogle to the Hue Brige, that informs the Lamp over ZigBee..
...
Later I introduced Node-RED:draw.io Diagram
Worked pretty well.
This we started seeing som smaller periods, where the light would not work for some 1 minute... I was thinking that Node-RED or Home Assistant may be hanging due to Ressouces on the Laptop running it.
...
So I simplified - at this time ZenseHome has introduced Philips Hue support:draw.io Diagram
Strangely, this solution did not work very well, besides the hanging times, from pressing a switch until the light toogle took like 1-2 seconds, and on several switches we had to press several times...
