Sebastian MüllerI’m looking for a good and easy to use IR blaster and a good vibration sensor for #homeassistant.
And I wonder can I use #Ruuvi Tags as vibration sensor for my washing machine?
toto@sbamueller for washing machine I can highly recommend a Shelly Plug PM (no Relais just measure but up to 16A) https://www.shelly.com/products/shelly-plug-pm-gen3-white plus this blueprint: https://my.home-assistant.io/redirect/blueprint_import/?blueprint_url=https%3A%2F%2Fgist.github.com%2Fsbyx%2F6d8344d3575c9865657ac51915684696 add a notification action and a binary sensor and you get full status updates. Works for dryers and dishwashers as well.
Stu KZ4LN@sbamueller for IR blaster I like the Keene Electronics IR over IP module (KIRA). I wrote the integration for Home Assistant so I know it works. Sadly unsure if they're still for sale these days.
Just hit it with a properly formed UDP packet and out pops your IR code.
DausDD@sbamueller Regarding IR, I recommend Moes Zigbee smart IR (e.g. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EGV7fBI). This Zigbee based device records IR transmissions from the original remote (results in a long string) and can send it later on. Work very well for me (HA, Z2M).
