These fans are connected to a Zigbee plug, which is also integrated with my Conbee stick and controlled via IObroker.<\/li><\/ul><p>The AC unit itself isn\u2019t a smart device and can only be controlled via a remote. After some research, I discovered that the Switchbot Hub, which I was already using, could learn the AC\u2019s IR commands and send them, essentially making my AC smart.<\/p><p>Here\u2019s how the components are currently integrated:<\/p><ul><li><strong>Aqara Sensors<\/strong>: These communicate via Zigbee to my Conbee stick, which is directly integrated with my IObroker setup.<\/li><li><strong>Door Sensor<\/strong>: This communicates over 866 MHz to my Raspimatic, which is also integrated with IObroker.<\/li><li><strong>Rack Fans<\/strong>: Controlled via a Zigbee plug connected to the Conbee stick, allowing automated or remote control through IObroker.<\/li><li><strong>Notifications<\/strong>: For visual notifications, I\u2019m using my LaMetric, which displays real-time alerts. Additionally, I\u2019ve set up WhatsApp notifications via IObroker to send alerts and status updates regarding the home automation system.<\/li><\/ul><p>The only challenge I\u2019ve encountered is with the SwitchBot, which is integrated with Alexa. While this setup works, the integration with IObroker is not as smooth as I\u2019d like. In the future, I plan to explore the <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/OpenWonderLabs\/SwitchBotAPI\" target=\"_new\" rel=\"noopener\">SwitchBot API<\/a> to bypass the Alexa integration and streamline the process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b69dc1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"2b69dc1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"664\" src=\"http:\/\/192.168.1.213:8088\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/home-office-heatwave-is-over_006-1024x850.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-2268\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/192.168.1.213:8088\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/home-office-heatwave-is-over_006-1024x850.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/192.168.1.213:8088\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/home-office-heatwave-is-over_006-300x249.jpg 300w, http:\/\/192.168.1.213:8088\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/home-office-heatwave-is-over_006-768x638.jpg 768w, http:\/\/192.168.1.213:8088\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/home-office-heatwave-is-over_006.jpg 1097w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-dd2542c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"dd2542c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h5 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Analyzing Temperature Data: June to July<\/h5>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8cc434a elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"8cc434a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>To develop an effective automation strategy, I first analyzed the temperature data from June to July.
