Non-Arduino home-made gadgetry / WIFI Smart Outlets

« on: February 26, 2016, 10:15:05 AM »

I received this "kankun smart plugs"

http://www.ebay.com/itm/WiFi-Cell-Phone-Wireless-Remote-Control-Switch-Timer-Smart-Power-Socket-Plug-New-/391226154561?hash=item5b16e55e41:g:npEAAOSwgQ9Vzrct

you can find it on aliexpress to.

At $15 US dollars each, is a good price
with the help of this guide:

http://benlo.com/esp8266/KankunSmartPlug.html

I can control the switched with a SCRAPE on voxcommando

and with a raspberry pi and this guide:

http://benlo.com/esp8266/KankunSmartPlug.html

I can control the outlets with the amazon echo

so now, I can control an outlet with voxcommando, with amazon echo, with a cell phone, with a web browser on a pc. all this with 15 us dollars

My recommendation is to order more than one, because the shipping from china takes about 3 weeks. And
be sure to order the right form factor of your outlets ( I get the ones with the asian plug, so I have to order the adapters).

Integration Ideas / Harmony Ultimate Home + Belkin Wemo = a lazy and happy guy

« on: December 19, 2015, 01:33:01 AM »

My setup:

2 hamony hub (ultimare home + smart home)
4 belkin wemo switches
1 amazon echo (alexa)

(2 harmonys, one for the TV in the workshop, the other on the bedroom TV)

sofware :

HarmonyHubControl.exe (to send instructions over a command line)
Wemocontrol.exe (to send instruction over command line, but i dont really used it)
voxcommando 2.x
voxwav on cell phone


Devices:

workshop:
1 westinghouse tv
1 amazon fire stick
1 q-see oem surveillance dvr (connected to the bedroom tv set)

bedroom:
1 vizio tv
1 matricom g-box (kodi)
1 amazon fire tv
(1) the surveillance dvr from the workshop

1 desktop pc win 7 with 2 surevillance microphones attached on parallel audio input
1 touch monitor at the main entrance, so i can control everything over voice or touch

1 dell laptop with windows 10 (i know no why, but the wemo plug in is not working on this, but works
   perfectly on the win 7, any ideas ??

almost everything work very good, i can turn on.off, change channels, etc etc, is actually pretty easy thanks
to the harmony hubs, no remote codes to learn

thing to do:
if somebody ring the main entrance, both tvs change inputs ti surveillance and camera to the main camera
if my phone rings, everything goes muted (bluetooth??)

the problems so far:
VC wemo plug in is not working on the win 10 laptop

i am starting to wet mi feet with VC and arduino and ESP266 wifi module

any questions, fell free to ask

thank you
