smart-home

I’m considering adding some smart home stuff to my home.

Infrastructure

• ZigBee
  • wireless mesh radio & protocol
  • USB ZigBee adapter in server / RPi
  • e.g. Sonoff ZBDongle-E
  • https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/adapters/emberznet.html
  • then e.g. Zigbee2MQTT
• data either via MQTT exporter to Grafana or into Home Assistant
• Grafana would be enough for just visualizing & alerts, Home Assistant would allow for control as well

Sensors

• temp / humidity for rooms
• CO₂ for office / bedroom
• windows / doors
• brands:
  • Sonoff
  • Aqara

Actuators

• plug for control (e.g. IKEA with power usage)
• light in bedroom
