The Wink users are convinced they are doing just fine, one mentioned that he had “beta” local control and could now switch stuff on/off in 1.5-2 seconds how AWESOME is THAT?!
When you’re walking into a garage at night… 2 seconds before the light comes on equals a trip to the ER!
With my (if you believe done if the threads around here) super crappy ST v2 hub, the lights are on before I can get the door more than a foot open.
I’ve actually checked the app just to see if the lights were left on and they were already on when I opened the door.
Now, that’s not all of the time, but it is the norm.
I had to find a store I knew someone at to get the price. Ordered it online this morning for in store pickup. They called saying sorry, they don’t exist. I got another call saying we made a mistake, it does exist. A family member picked up the 2-switch set for me this AM for $22, shipped it out to me as well. Over on SlickDeals someone said their Iris Garage Door opener rang up at $55 and they did a receipt scan. Unfortunately my two stores here won’t match out of state Lowes
Picked up my comfort and control kit today with the 40%off code… now that I have it, anybody out there want to trade your iris motion sensor for the two open/close sensors I got in the kit? I don’t need these at this point, but could use another motion sensor.
I’ll trade you an Ecolink motion sensor.
unfortunately, the place I want to use it, the ecolink isn’t going to work. Planning to steal Mike_Maxwell’s modification like so: https://yyz2.discourse-cdn.com/smartthings/uploads/default/optimized/3X/8/9/8920a4f4a411d3b073ffc8783b86f917a8a72a61_1_690x388.jpg
Thanks tho!
Just an FYI someone mentioned this in the last current deals thread, but Home depot will beat the ad price by 10% if it’s lower than thier price.
Got it… Good luck.
@Toasty I’d be interested if still available
I think I’ve found a use for it in my linen closet.
I just ordered mine. Got the discount and free shipping. It will be here in 2-3 days. If it is still available I would be interested in exchanging devices.
In the interest of this thread not following the fate of its predecessor let’s please table the discussion here on that particular Lowe’s deal. As a recap, the deal is for the Iris Home Automation Safe and Secure Kit and the Iris Home Automation Comfort and Control Kit. You get 40% off with promo code 470000000013036 potentially until February 8. Please start a new thread and post a link to it here if there is interest in continuing detailed dialogue on this specific deal to keep it easy for folks to post and find new deals.
Thanks!
After ordering around 5 PM I received an email from the store saying they don’t have the item in stock and they canceled my order. It is still listed on the website for 50% off so I’m heading there today to find it along with a print out of the price.
Hope they will still honor.
Are you all able to get Iris stuff working with Smartthings? Have things changed since:
The new revisions of the iris sensors (in the purple cardboard box, not the plastic blister packaging) work with ST.
There are several discussions about the 2nd gen devices working with ST. Do a quick search and you’ll find them (@btk linked a great one) . In fact, about 30 minutes ago I just added another smart plug. I use a ton of the motion sensors, several open/close sensors, and a button or two.
Do you know if these are dimmer switches? When you switch them off and on do they go from 0 to 100 instantly or are they like the other GE switches that slowly go from 0-100 (I would assume instant if they aren’t dimmers.)
The reason I ask, is I have Phillips hue bulbs installed in 4 can lights in my kitchen but i’m looking to have smart switches in there as well because it’s annoying to have the normal flip switch always on. Does anyone know how well it would work to have both smart switches and phillips hue bulbs? I have certain scenes where I want to have individual control of lightbulbs and sometimes I just want to easily be able to turn them all on from a switch. Or will this cause a lot of my scenes to get out of sync / other issues.
Detailed discussion of the use of smart switches with smart bulbs in the following topic (this is a clickable link). It should answer your questions.
I too was able to use the coupon code for the Home Automation & Comfort kit and got free shipping to my home.
I think this is a pretty killer deal device…
dual relay module for 2-gang switches
http://www.amazon.com/Vision-Z-Wave-Micro-Switch-relay/dp/B00R883YKU/ref=pd_sim_60_15?ie=UTF8&dpID=31CbUrEJrTL&dpSrc=sims&preST=AC_UL160_SR160%2C160&refRID=0H7PHMXH4QT3N06031PF
It is comparable to the Monoprice dual-relay but it’s out of stock right now so this is next best thing.
