Also, whenever you are starting to look at a particular device class, it can be helpful to look at the device class features FAQ. It will discuss how different models might vary from each other and why people might pick one over another. ( this is a clickable link)
So, I’m pretty new to this internet of things world. Originally bought 2 OSRAM tunable LED bulbs with the Wemo Hub and a WEMO insight switch, now I’ve “upgraded” the hub to the SmartThings hub, and looking at ditching the WEMO insight switch for the SmartThings plug, just so I have have support now and not have to wait or deal with adding custom code to the IDE.
I’m on Amazon and etc pretty much every day trying to decide what I want to play around with next, or what’s better, etc.
I’m here to see what your opinons/preferences are for
plugs
bulbs
sensors: motion, open/close and temp
It’s a confusing world out there…Just for bulbs I’m finding LIFX, WEMO, OSRAM, GE Link, Phillips Hue, Cree.
For plugs I’m finding WEMO, SmartThings, Aeon Labs, GE…etc
It’s hard to decide which is the way…
There is a thread linked to from there for temperature and humidity sensors that you might find helpful.
Hi all,
Newbie here. Going to move to in a few weeks and I would like to have a few area monitored. I start reading about Smartthing. Specifically I want to know about the attic temperature and humidity and also the same for the basement, what sensor(s) is good for this purpose?
I found the Aeotec and Zooz multisensors on Amazon. But there are quite a lot of devices out there. Where else would you recommend to source the sensors?
May be there should be a list of supported devices by type and popularity?
Thanks
Will
