Old Home Easy integration?

Access · 19-03-2017 02:54PM #1

Have a good amount of the Home Easy home automation kit from a few years back unused at the moment, but still use the gsm receiver to switch on heating from text on my phone still!

Has anyone used old kit like this and integrated it into their current google/amazon automation?

I really would like to use it as it wasn't that bad.

(Home Easy is a wireless home automation range operating on 433MHz)

Its possible to use Homeeasy using a USB rfxtrx433e with Domoticz and probably Home Assistant.
Using it with Alexa is also possible (though not a straight forward install)
Whether its worth spending on the rfxtrx433e will depend on how many of the homeeasys you have an actual use for.

Kitchen counter lights, heating control, outside yard lights (x2) and hard to reach lights in the sitting room and family room... all still used to this day by remote, and text... but text mainly for heating when out of the house.

So yep... still a good amount going strong... where would i find info on or forums on the setup you suggest?

I've done a bit of homework here, but just dont understand the last part on how you would get the Google home to trigger lights when asked etc.

Did you have any luck with this fergalom?

edit: IFTTT i presume?
