I’m having trouble getting google home to find the devices added via the smartthings connector. It keeps saying the lights have not been configured in google home.
setup the bulb on smartthings. It works fine in the smarthings app. The bulb is a “Sengled Element Classic A19 Smart Home LED Bulb”
added an “automation” to turn on the light. …just because i have no idea if google home needs this or not.
verified the google smartapp is present on smartthings smartapps and has authorization to the device and routine (everything)…also tried only giving it access to the light.
Note that google home works fine with the light using IFTTT. I have disabled this integration for now as i try to get the direct integration working between google home and smartthings.
Yes I did. Apparently DNS66 (ad blocker app) was blocking them from talking to their servers. Both apps did not show any errors.
After disabling DNS66 and re-integrating the two apps (smart-things and google home) everything finally works.
@XFighter Log into the IDE, and create a new Smart App. When you are creating it, go to From Template, and go down to the Keep Me Cozy II and there you are.
There isn’t anything I know of (yet) that uses the official API. However, the last few days I’ve been working on exactly that. It will still be a bit before it’s complete. Currently you can “Connect to Nest” using PIN code verification only. This is because Nest doesn’t allow for dynamic redirect URL. It’s an extra step, but not that big of a deal.
The SmartApp then lists all of your Thermostats and Protects, allowing you to select which to add. All that works so far. I have two DeviceTypes based off the code from Nick and dianoga, but they are not complete.
Now, once complete, the issue I have is that I can’t provide the SmartApp code as is for everyone. The reason is that it requires secret urls and verification codes for direct access to Nest. I would have to try and get the app officially published so that this remains hidden. The other option will be to provide the code, less this information. It would then be up to the user to create their own nest developer account and client - then filling in the info as necessary. This does however defeat most of the purpose of the SmartApp - trying to make it easier for the end user.
Thanks, now I have my T-Stat and my 2 Protect in there…now just need to figure out how to use them in ST.
@tracstarr Just so you know, someday there will be an official integration that uses the official API. It’s already been written and is just waiting for the people at ST to make the changes necessary to publish it for everyone. It will include support for both thermostats and protects.
@Dianoga that’s good to hear. I’m surprised it’s taking so long. That being said I’ll continue with my project more to learn how to write apps and devices. It just seemed like the best place for me to start. The bigger end goal is insteon integration with a PLM running a LAN service. But that’s a big first step
After following this thread and others all day, I have been able to set up the integration. I am however stuck at the stage where the Harmony hub is discovered and I am able to pick the Harmony activities in the ST app. When I click on done, an error message is returned; “You appear to be having issues with your network. Please check your network connection and try again”. my network is find and both Harmony and ST apps are working normally. Any suggestions to bypass the error message and save the smartapp settings?
I’d like to use the YO app through Pebble to open/close my garage. The only issue is that IFTTT doesn’t see my MyQ Garage doors as an option. Anyway that this could change?
I use a tasker task along with Pebble Tasker to perform a few different ST tasks. Works great for me.
For example, to open my garage, I hit the bottom button to launch PebbleTasker from within Glance. This brings up a menu with three options:
I should have updated this shortly after. It works. All I needed was to update my Smartthings channel to add my garage doors to the selections. Also, I’m on iOS.
As long as Smartthings recognizes your garage door as a switch, then it’s a matter of setting it up in IFTTT. Once you register for the account and activate the Smartthings channel it’s a matter of doing the same for Yo. Then set it up to be IF THIS - Text YO to IFTTT, then THAT open/close your garage.
I have snmp connectivity to one of my Cisco routers. I recently added a second ISP to this router and I really have no way of knowing when it fails over to the secondary ISP, thus alerting me to call in a support ticket with the vendor of the primary ISP. It was suggested by the Cisco reseller who setup the HWIC2 card, that Spiceworks might be able to send out an email alert when the router logs an event message of the fail over.
I cannot find anything that explains how to set up a Spiceworks monitor or alert to watch the event messages from the Cisco router and then draft an email alert to me of the outage. Can spiceworks actually do this, or do I need a third party application?
Might need to use the third party app. Check with your ISP though, they may have monitoring you can use via the web.
Both ISPs are clueless, and my Cisco reseller along with the Cisco technician declined the opportunity to suggest anything. Does anyone else have any suggestions?
I still have not found a good answer to this one. I guess I will have to keep digging. Thanks for the help though.
My suggestion, use PRTG to monitor the WAN interface and trigger an alert (email) when they go down.
Check this out for something cringe-worthy and keyboard related - in our offices we have some artwork on the walls, and one of the pictures in a little collage is an arty shot of the 'Control' key on a keyboard...
You guys still using your keyboards as 100 different buttons? If you turn it over, you can type like a user on the only button. Go ahead and try it. I'll wait.
If you can't beat em'... just hit them with the keyboard? Which reminds me of that scene in Wanted... I like that scene... I want to try it sometime.
Edit: this scene... I'm not sure of the spoken words... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XH7CXtxOflI so probably NSFW
I want to add a trend line on the bar chart that sum up the inflows and outflows number. Can you please help me with that? Thanks a lot.
I'm just guessing the layout of your data, but you should be able to create a copy of the metric on the Rows shelf and create a dual axis chart. From there you'll just need to adjust the settings in the Marks cards for that particular pill by removing the dimension for color. This should result in a single overall line. Feel free to share a workbook, if this doesn't give you what you need.
Thanks for the quick turnaround. My goal is to add the trendline on the same bar chart that sum the inflows and outflows. Can you please help me to combine them together in one chart? Thank you very much!
The deployment goes well, but in TAC the error occurs, and 'Last Action' in ESB Conductors stays 'UNDEPLOYED'.
Absolutely **bleep**..... My TV service decided to get stuck on starting up just before the England Semi final... Had to watch the game on my phone.
Welcome to the Virgin Media Community, I'm very sorry for the problems you've been experiencing with your TV service recently.
I've not been able to locate your account to take a closer look at this from our end and run some tests on the line unfortunately. If you're still experiencing issues and would like me to take a closer look, could you respond to the private message I've sent with the requested information?
Sometimes colors in the scale are confusing being very similar for very different conditions. I think that using standard colors scale (from light blue to deep red) would help in interpreting weather conditions.
