Under Wink you could only use the Lutron Connected Bulb Remotes which were no longer supported and had pretty limited range. Using the Lutron Hub (which I also powered off of POE) lets you use Lutron Pico remotes for anything in the Hubitat world. Lutron Integration – I deployed a Lutron Smart Bridge Pro, which enables the Hubitat to connect to the Lutron hub via Telnet locally.Hell you could even program it to yell at intruders via Amazon Echo “Please GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE!” and yes I am going to code that to happen □ Things that worked better than I expected: You could use a Zigbee/Zwave keypad to arm/disarm the system and tie contact sensors and motion sensors to the state of the system. This seems to be a very powerful system that could actually replace or act as a security system if implemented right. In the picture above you can see the Alexa TTS notifications defined. It will primarily be used when we are on vacation. I am not using the Intrusion settings much yet because it requires you to set if you are home/away. ![]() I also have configured the Hubitat Safety monitor with various alerts and actions. It’s weird, but strangely fun to see it work. So I can essentially build logic flows with virtual light switches. Virtual switches that act as logic gates based on various system parameters.PushOver – Because Hubitat has no native push notifications, I’ve enabled Pushover and signed up for it for any system notifications on our phones – it works faster and more consistently than any other smart home notification I’ve seen.So if we leave the front door unlocked, or the garage door is open for more than 15 minutes for some reason – Alexa will announce her concern over the matter. Amazon Echo TTS – With this its a notifier that will to Text to Speech for our Amazon Echo if there is an issue.APIXU – a weather API that is a virtual appliance that populates dozens of variables for the system to use – I use the upcoming day weather prediction and the current weather to set variables for our garden watering schedule.In addition to the physical devices, there are some virtual ones that perform special functions: That includes smoke detectors, door sensors, leak sensors, light switches, light bulbs, power outlets, temperature sensors, a thermostat, a water main control valve, and a garden hose valve. Total devices (virtual and physical) the system controls is 71 currently. Well after a few weeks of adding things, removing things, testing out aspects of the new system everything is done. , the migration was going to be a bit busy because of all the devices we have and the learning of an entirely different system. We will get it sorted out.As part of my many parallel projects I am doing around the house (which have all converged at the same time) I finished our new home automation setup. Not at the moment, but later this morning, I will be able to be by my test setup with these keypads, and I could reproduce the steps you take, and see (hopefully) the same things you are seeing. And again, please let me know of anything not right as you progress. The HSM UI page will need to be refreshed to see it's most recent state after any step you take. Again, have both HSM UI and keypad device page open in tabs, and check them as you go. ![]() I'd start with no pin required for arming, with code required for disarm. The next phase would be to move to arm/disarm from the keypad. If you encounter anything not right in those first two steps, please let me know. Next, pull up the device page for the keypad in a separate tab, and see if it is doing the right thing when armed/disarmed from the HSM UI. First, see if HSM is responding correctly for arming and disarming from its user interface. My suggestion is to walk through this like a troubleshooter. As I worked on it, I did discover a couple of minor issues in the Centralite driver. There are some fixes and upgrades for HSM and the Centralite Keypad coming in the next release (the stuff I've been working on). I must say, they are a hot mess of a device. I've been messing with these keypads and HSM for the past few days (author of HSM).
