This is a dumping ground for the IOT Hardware I have deployed

Zwave

I like Zwave for its range and the use of the 900mhz spectrum. I have found it to be more reliable than Zigbee devices. I am using Home Assistant with ZwaveJS

• GE/Jasco ZW4006 In Wall Motion Sensor + Light Switch
• GE/Jasco ZW4002 3 Speed Fan Controller
• UltraPro ZWave Smart Rocker Light Dimmer
• GE/Jasco 46201 Smart Rocker
• Aeotec NanoMote Quad Zwave Button

Zigbee

I have Zigbee devices due to cost efficiencies. Some devices work really well like the Sonoff Motion Sensors. Others... not so much. I'm looking at you Aqara motion sensors!

• GE/Jasco 43102 Zigbee In Wall Outlet
• Aqara Zigbee Button
• Aqara Door/Window Contact Sensor
• Aqara Motion Sensor... These have a LUX sensor in them which is all I use these for. I have bought 3 of them and all of them are garbage for motion sensors in high traffic areas
• Sonoff Zigbee Button
• Sonoff Zigbee Motion Sensors. These things are fantastic, haven't seen false positives and they have an awesome range to them
• Aqara Zigbee Temperature Sensors
• Zigbee LED Strip Controllers

Wifi Purchased Products

I have a handful Wifi products which I have bought and flashed with Tasmota

• Venstar T7900 Smart Thermostat. Integration with Home Assistant was a breeze. Has a Local API (not flashed, local API works fine)
• Shelly 1. (Flashed with Tasmota)
• Gosund Smart Wifi Outlets (Flashed with Tasmota)
• LVWIT Smart Bulbs (Flashed with Tasmota)
• Teckin Smart Plugs (Flashed with Tasmota)
• Tuya Wifi IR Remote Control Hub (Flashed with Tasmota)
• IRobot Roomba I8 (from Costco). No need to flash, this thing runs a local MQTT server
• Athom Smart Bulbs (Flashed with Tasmota)
• Teckin Smart Power Switch (Flashed with Tasmota)

Bluetooth

I have a few Bluetooth Devices which ESP32 devices connect to and scrape

• Inkbird Waterproof 150 FT Bluetooth Meat Thermometer IBT-4XC
• AM43 BlueTooth Electric Curtain Motor
• Xiami Mija Bluetooth Temperature & Humidity Sensors

Self Built

I use a lot of D1 Minis based on the ESP8266 chips. I have started adopting ESP32 chips slowly

Sensors used

• HX711 Load Cell Weight Sensors
• AM312 PIR Motion Sensors
• GY302 BH1750 LUX Sensor
