Hi. I have a Liftmatic All-Acul gate that stopped responding yesterday. I changed the battery on the clicker, but when I tried, it just blinks yellow. I then looked at the circuit and this is the following result. The light next to radio does blink green and there’s a clicking noise when I press the clicker. Any insight before I call a repair person would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have two Kwikset 620 Zwave locks that i've had for 1.5 years. They've always worked perfectly. Somewhat recently I noticed they stopped auto-locking from Hubitat. Digging deeper, it looks like it's because they're not reporting correctly whether they're locked/unlocked.
If I go into Hubitat and manually open/close a lock, it works correctly. It's just that when it unlocks it still says "locked", so the auto-close logic won't work. Any ideas how to fix something like this?

Recently bought a house that has a Yale keyless lock on it. We were given the code. I am trying to change it/ factory reset it. After watching a few videos it says to press a button inside, I am an able to find it. I believe it is a Yale yrd430.

Can anyone explain what is the difference between wired (using ethernet to connect to the internet) and non-wired (just powered by usb and connected through wifi) Zigbee hubs? There seem to be a few devices that just won't connect to non-wired hubs and I can't figure out why. Is there a way around this apparent limitation?

My college gave me a project to turn off all the lights and fans in the classroom when no one is present. The room is around 20 metres long and 20 metres wide. I'm planning to use ESP32 for this project. Which approach would be best? To use some kind of occupancy sensors or cameras? And which sensors would you recommend for it?

Hi all,
I require a way to control a few taps out in some fields - to fill horses drinking water, no obstructions, just fields.
3 taps in total, vary from 110meter to 200 meters away from a telegraph pole where i could house a hub of some kind (which has a POE ethernet connection out to it - and a wifi access point).
Most hubs/timers seem to adopt a bluetooth or zigbee protocol, which is lacking the range i need.
No power out by these taps either.
Has anyone come across a solution to my needs? - i was hoping wifi, but i cant find any timers that use wifi.
I do run home assistant, so could adp ..read more

There are many, many versions of things like this on Amazon, but every single one I can find uses RF. I need one that uses IR so I can control it with my ancient Harmony remote (outdoor use is not a requirement). Anybody know of any options?
