Joel de BruijnAnybody know of a smart smoke detector which:
- connects to wifi and has an app
- is not on the Google Home / Assistant platform
- has other sensors like temperature and maybe CO?
Michiel Schok@joeldebruijn maybe the Shelly Smoke (when it’s released) https://shelly.cloud/products/shelly-smoke-smart-home-automation-sensor/
@michielschok now thats a neat device 👌
Looked for local reseller but it doesnt show Shelly indeed. https://www.robbshop.nl/search?search=rookmelder
@joeldebruijn hun spullen zijn populair bij veel collega’s. Basis is WiFi en open. Zelf gebruik ik een paar Shelly’s voor schakelen en meten van energieconsumptie. Aansturen via mqtt , dus supersimpel via HA.
@michielschok oh moest even term achterhalen, goeie qoeie ivm open ecosysteem 👍

@joeldebruijn Ah, sorry. Mqtt is inderdaad een soort mastodon voor iot devices. Ik heb temperatuur- en energiesensoren die hun waardes periodiek rapporteren. En instances als home-assistant die zich “subscriben” op die informatie om er wat mee te doen.
@michielschok no worries 👍
Just recently started more IoT exploring.
I'm also looking into Zigbee and Z-Wave but want to avoid my devices stop working if the supplier goes out of business. Dont know if those pitfalls are avoidable?
@joeldebruijn pitfalls are definitely avoidable. But at a cost because not all functionality you may desire is simply available via “local API”. I know that Home Assistant is striving to a world with local APIs available. See e.g. https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2022/07/12/partner-program/ for one of those steps. If a device needs “the cloud” to function, please steer away from purchase.
@joeldebruijn I haven’t watched it (but plan to do). The yearly state of the open home. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D936T1Ze8-4
