Just get a smart plug, it connects to wifi. name it "fan" and plug your fan into it. "Alexa turn on the fan".

I have a wemo plug myself.

Ok so here is the breakdown of what I am doing and a couple more photos of the UI and videos of it in action.

Here is the configuration.yaml and ui-lovelace.yaml files on Github.

The main components that are currently being used on the front end are:

  • TP-Link/Kasa WiFi switches/outlets
  • TP-Link/Kasa WiFi bulbs
  • Ecobee 4 with 4 remote sensors
  • August Lock and Connect
  • Automatic
  • Harmony Hub
  • Foscam cameras
  • Abode security system
  • Darksky forecast
  • Speedtest

    I intend for the UI to be displayed on a few Fire HD8 tablets. One that will be centrally located on the main floor of the house. Two others will be used as nightstand clocks in the master bedroom.

    At a high level, all I have done is drawn the floor plan and layouts in Sketch and exported individual assets as pngs and position them within a picture-elements card mostly utilizing image and its state_image. I would basically just plop down the button or icon or whatever with style: "top":50% "left":50%. Once the asset was in the UI I would inspect it via Chrome's dev tools inspector and select the parent container that the style was being set on. I would then manually adjust the top and left percentages until I was satisfied. I would then update ui-lovelace.yaml to include the new values and double check them in the browser.

    For the buttons, currently the button background and button text are baked into the image but I intend to change that soon. Basically the indicator light is actually the same size as the whole button its just 95% of it is transparent.

    Here are some screen caps (since i just posted photos from my phone last night)

    Here are a couple videos of it in action:

  • Flipping a couple switches
  • Switching between tabs

    Thats all I can think of for now to answer the basics... I am more than happy to go deeper into anything anyone has any questions about

Long warmup time is one of the downsides of HX machines. Twenty minutes is about the minimum.

I've got my Appartamento on a scheduled switch, one of these:

https://smile.amazon.com/TP-Link-Required-Anywhere-Occupies-HS105/dp/B01K1JVZOE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1496170180&sr=8-2&keywords=tp+link+outlet

$35 has the machine turn on an hour before I wake up and if I'm on the way home and know I want coffee, the internet integration means I can click it on from my phone so it's hot when I get home.

There's some debate on Home Barista on whether you can leave HX machines on that long, and the consensus is mixed. If you're interested in doing so, check the site. I determined that $35 was a fair enough price to not have a 1000+ watt machine running all night.

Lastly, congrats on starting law school. I graduated in 2012. It's a fun time.

It doesn't make any noise when turning on or off so must be. It's the tp link mini smart plug hs105: TP-Link Smart Plug Mini, No Hub Required, Wi-Fi, Works with Alexa and Google Assistant, Control your Devices from Anywhere, Occupies Only One Socket (HS105) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K1JVZOE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_X9YEAb80ZZGX1

A smart plug is a wifi enabled plug that will allow you to turn things plugged into it on and off through the internet. An Alexa-enabled smart plug lets you also do it by voice command or Routine with Alexa. Here's an example, though there are many brands and types available.

The Harmony Hub would let you control all your entertainment components that have IR remotes with Alexa though.

Well there's a mini now same retail price as the old one, they're just discounting to get rid of stock I bet

I got this one with an echo dot:

I like the features and its pretty easy to set up.

u/atvking · 2 pointsr/homeautomation

If I understand your question correctly, as long as your truck is parked within WiFi Range you could buy one of these smart plugs, then use IFTTT to set up a trigger using the Weather Underground service in conjunction with the TP-Link Kasa service to create an applet that will turn the outlet on if the temperature drops below a certain limit (in this case 32° f). You could also set up another applet to turn the outlet off if the weather rises above a certain temp or turn it off at a certain time in the morning (when you leave for work for example).

This might sound more difficult to set up than it actually is. Creating a new applet is as simple as tapping a few buttons in an app on your phone and there are even ones that already exist out there to do what you want, all you have to do is turn them on.

You should be able to use any smart WiFi outlet as long as it has IFTTT support. I just suggested the TP-Link one because I have a few and I found they work well.

u/ubettaubettaubet · 2 pointsr/smarthome

I'm thinking that perhaps this was one of the trade-offs to get to market. As technology marches on, things tend to get smaller. I had the same complaint as you but I found smaller outlet switches that you can stack on top of each other on a standard outlet by TP-Link (TP-Link Smart Plug, Wi-Fi, Works with Alexa, Only Occupies one Socket (HS105),Wall-Light, Electronic-Component-switches, 1-Pack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K1JVZOE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_qAT1BbAV1Y4RD). Honestly, now I have a surplus of those things as I've moved to smart power strips (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071ZGDDQG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_OJT1BbP8K2Y6R). To take it a step further, might even consider these (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GB7WFZH/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_ZLT1Bb49TWG2S).

There is always a solution.

u/alantk25 · 2 pointsr/homeautomation

You can do this on the cheap but you'll have to compromise on a few things.

​

You'll need a smart plug that does not require a hub. I like the TP-Link smart plug.

https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-Occupies-HS105-Wall-Light-Electronic-Component-switches/dp/B01K1JVZOE/ref=sr_1_8?crid=JC3FOI5287VF&keywords=tp+link+smart+plug&qid=1550610795&s=gateway&sprefix=tp+link+%2Caps%2C215&sr=8-8

​

I only have experience with Android, but you can use Google Assistant on your phone to voice activate the switch. I find that the mic on my S8+ doesn't always hear me correctly so I like using a Google Home Mini better.

​

I believe you can do the same thing if you download the Alexa app on your phone.

​

The problem with smart plugs is that you can only control the light with your phone. If the outlet is wired to a light switch, you need to make sure the light switch is always on.

u/0x7468726f7720617761 · 2 pointsr/ValveIndex

If you're going to go remote outlet and are OK with smart home stuff, I really like these from TP-Link if you're OK with "smart home" type stuff.

I've had some for about a year now and they've worked really nicely for misc. stuff around my (primarily lights).

u/SudoPoke · 2 pointsr/PlantedTank

I made my own overflow box that I 3d printed.
https://www.tinkercad.com/things/dXNkANrABFp-mini-aquarium-overflow-pump-v2

You can also DIY one with tubes or cups or buy one off amazon. It's literally just two boxes connected by a siphon.

The Wifi plug is a built in timer, you can run a schedule and control it with an app.

Yes, all on/off at same time.
I like Binary Warrior's item in the link they provided. I wanted somewhat of a little box, but that kind of item (strip) will give me additional smart plugs for regular items.
But...a multi charger, plugged into a single smart plug is your suggestion, yes?
A setup like this?

smart plug:

Looks like the benefit of this setup is that I have more usb ports for more pixel pals.

u/tilana2 · 1 pointr/amazonecho

Just plug into the wall then plug your lamp into it, connect it to your Wi-Fi, then add it to your devices on your Alexa app so you can use it with your echo device. I like this one because it only takes up one plug space some cover-up both, I've had it for a couple of years. every once in awhile I have to resync it with the Wi-Fi but no other issues

u/Floooof · 1 pointr/homeautomation

These are nice. I control them with OpenHAB on the pi: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01K1JVZOE

The one you linked might be a bit low on the amperage to run a heat lamp, and it sure as hell doesn't look UL listed. Maybe it's an optically isolated relay? I'd be concerned it would burn my house down if I tried to run a heat lamp through it. The one I linked is UL listed and supports up to 15A.

u/DrCoolHands · 1 pointr/homeassistant

Smart plugs/switches are very overpriced in Canada. That said, you will see regular sales on both TP-Link and Wemo.

Having tried both, TP-Link is far better and more refined than Wemo.

What I recommend is using Camelcamelcamel to setup an alert for the TP-Link smartplug mini, as they drop to $25 cad on the regular.

Bought a couple smart plugs. Only using one so far. It's in my bedroom with my reading lamp plugged into it. Now I don't have to get out of bed to shut off the light, just click a button on my phone. :]

u/aerofiki · 1 pointr/IndoorGarden

My apartment has pretty terrible lighting and with fall/winter coming on strong in the Boston area, I decided to put together a little home gardening station to help with lighting and movement of the plants for watering. I went into this with the goal of having my setup accommodate most of my small collection of plants and to allow for easy movement without having to mess with the grow lights. In the end, I decided on a cart-based design composed of the following items:

No wifi extenders. The newest neighbors moved in 6 months ago. The newest 2.4 devices are two TP-link wifi plugs added 6 weeks ago.

u/neuromonkey · 1 pointr/googlehome

I have a Smartthings hub. That talks two home control protocols, called Zigbee and Z-Wave. Many manufacturers make dimmers that use one or the other protocol. There are wall switch-types, and in-line "puck" type fan controllers.

Google finds many...

I'm using TP-Link switched outlets to turn amplifiers on and off. They also have a smaller version, but I got the big ones for $20 each, so went with those. The outlets can be controlled directly by a GH or Amazon Echo, and don't depend on the Smartthings hub.

Search Amazon for wifi switches/fan controllers that say "works with Alexa" for products that don't require a smart home hub. A hub provides some additional flexibility and control methods, but there seems to be a move away from hub-dependent approaches. There are arguments for and against both types of devices. Hubs can offer programmable logic (eg. Turn pitch light on when I arrive home, if the sun has set. If nobody else is home, turn on all amps & play White Stripes really loud,) though using 3rd party tools like IFTTT or Tasker can usually accomplish the same things.

You can use the Kasa app to set up a schedule. You can change the schedule or manually turn your lights (or whatever is plugged into it) on/off manually from anywhere. This is my second grow using these smart switches to control both fans and lights and they have worked flawlessly. You can also get a 2 pack on Amazon for ~$35.

When they're on sale and you can also get a bunch of smart bulbs and outlet switches in the same sale, absolutely. Got a bunch of these and some smart bulbs and it's awesome. Plus I can't tell you how many times I say, "hey google, find my phone" in a week.
