Domotizing your garage door

Objectives

My garage door is already motorised, I will adapt a control module to domotise it, the objective is for example to say ‘Alexa opens the garage’ or that at 9 p.m., Jeedom checks that the garage is closed, otherwise she informs me that she closes it.

I check the Redox production of the salt electrolyser in my pool

Objective

On my salt electrolyser, I have a blue LED that indicates that production is ongoing, if it goes out, I would like my home automation system (Jeedom or Home Assistant) to know to warn me.

I was not going to disassemble the electrolyser to recover a power supply or not from the LED, even if I was itchy, I looked at how to recover rather the ‘visual’ info of the LED on or off.

My idea was to find out if there was a brightness detector, which was simple to interface on my computer. Existing control management system for my pool. My system using an I2C port, I looked for this type of chip and it had to be interfacing on Esp Easy for simplicity.

Redox Probe ADS1115 I2C Easy ESP

Objective

For the past two years, I have been trying to understand how the data retrieved from a Redox probe works and how it is interpreted. I have a salt pool and controlling the Redox seems like a good way to monitor water disinfection.

The page Redox (ORP) or Ph home automation control from a pool to Jeedom described my installation and the management of the Redox was missing because when I created my installation, I had not been able to understand it despite the many forum and tutorial readings. Each using its own formula. Thanks also to the support of Phidgets who directed me to the right method.

Description of the installation

A pattern that is always better than a long speech, here is the installation

Install Jeedom on Synology NAS VM

This manipulation is already documented but I have adapted my method, everyone will be able to follow his own, here are some references:

I chose to use the SynologyVirtual Machine Manager application

Installing the latest version of Jeedom on the VM

Here are, in order, the screens and what I chose to use

 

 

It was on the next screen that I chose to send the image of Jeedom.

The most recent ISO file should be downloaded from:

Copy it to a folder on the NAS and fetch it in the "ISO Startup File" field.
At this point, I leave USB device disassembled, I will mount it later.

On the next screen, give the rights to your Syno users and then validate the installation

Click on the "Connect" button

The installation screen appears:

 

Let's let … turn

IP address recovery and first connection

Once the installation is complete, the IP must be found in the router, and the DHCP will give it an address.

By habit, once the VM is detected I freeze the address on 192.168.1.180

Then Jeedom can be accessed via IP in the browser

And send orders on the order line:

Given the price, many of us choose this product:
