badjesus Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiy-Lp8ofdw&list=UUfwhhFpAr8BKzORSGOClU8A So I took my recycling bin, drilled a few "air holes" in it and hooked up some pneumatics I got at princess auto for less than $50. I am using two relays (two HC300's) to run out to the can to control the up and down. I am using the generic dual relay blind driver for up and down. The motion sensor is the card access one. I also have it tied to SONOS now so when it opens up, it screams!I was hoping to be able to have some sort of a driver for LED bulbs I could put in there to glow green (my other thread about limitless LED) but that is a no go for now. I also have a fog machine for it that will be set up for the big day. Now I just need to find a few sounds for my doorbell Happy Halloween!

Audio Obsessions Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Love it, add an access relay and deep cycle battery at the bottom so all wires are contained, and then your talking! Nice work.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badjesus Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 very nice i set up some hue lights to do Halloween colors out front Thanks guys, can't wait to try it out at Halloween. I am jealous about your hue setup. Can't justify the cost for hue but really want a bunch of them. Which is why I am REALLY hoping / begging someone to come up with a driver for milight or limitless LED Hue in Canada is about $400 for 3 bulbs. Just for outside I need 5. Then for my basement I need 12. I can't self contain everything in the bin though. Need to at least run the air lines. There really isn't much space in there either surprisingly. All of the lines are well hidden once in place though. No one will be able to see them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Hue in Canada is about $400 for 3 bulbs. Just for outside I need 5. Then for my basement I need 12. Where the F@#$ are you buying them from? BestBuy, HomeDepot and the Apple store in Canada sells STARTER packs with a bridge and 3 lights for under 200.Ive seen SIX- packs for about 400 previously, but induvidual lights go for around 60 bucks (though some special ones like the "bloom" bulbs go for more). No bloody wonder you're that obsessed with the Limetless price if you're seeing those prices for Hue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ecoli-557 Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Hey Guys-I don't know if this can be done - tried many things, but this seems to be the best place to ask.......I'm trying to replace the doorbell sound on the door station with a wav file for the kids. The announcement over the house speakers works like a champ.I can enable/disable the doorbell sound for the DS, but do not see anyway to have it play another sound.Can this be done?New owner, less than 6 months, but will be deep into it next year!Thanks in advance for the late request.......

dogdvr Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 No way to change the wav file on door station sound. It has been requested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli-557 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 OK, Thanks for the confirmation. Only thing I haven't tried is FTP or other IP connect to the DS to 'see' if there is any detail for files that might be switched.......I'll look into that this evening.Its a shame however, it would've been cool to do so for all the holidays......

I hope to get more stuff going next year.One thing that really caused an issue halloweed night was the motion sensors. I was using the Card Access... It just stopped working. Worked pefectly for about 10 minutes every time I reboot it.I hear this might have somethign to do with it in "walk test mode" or something like that where you can use it for set up. But it was working perfectly and then NOTHING. Are you in Canada Cyknight? Where did you find the starter pack of hue for under $200?The other reason I want a different option though is the gu10 bulb type for my pot lights. I also found this https://antumbra.io/ Seems a good option as well. edit: NM, I see hue DOES have GU10... just not at any of the local stores that I had seen.

Cyknight Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Yes I'm in Canada - I can drive to any local Home Depot, BestBuy or go to a Local AppleStore or dealer and grab one for 199 on any given day (or order them on-line) - and as you found, yes Philips has GU10 bulbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was working perfectly and then NOTHING. Had some grievances as well ,though I was using Axxess relay/sensors and standard security motions. Haven't had the time to figure it out yet, though it could simply be damp/wet weather in my case. I have 4+ hours of footage to go over, but once I get around to it I'll post some reactio vids.
