S1 and live are connected internally. When S2 goes live the device notes a switch action. Frankly speaking, I’d have the switch trigger the lights and then use Home Assistant to trigger the extractor fan via automation. I have a 100 device house - Keep it simple and let HA do the work. If you must link them, just link S2-S2
Regarding the chasing light what you can get is some COB LED ws2811B and pair it up with a WLED controller. The controller can be used via phone or home assistant and allow you to control brightness, effects
I did that for my parents extractor, added it to home assistant with an aqara humidity/temp/pressure sensor all zigbee protocol and it works a treat....i have an intel nuc and virtual machine running the home assistant OS and love it 😊 i find the spark side of me and soft dev side of me works hand in hand for this stuff
Can be over engineered further. On my install i inclided the sonoff temp and humidity sensor , chucked it in the duct right at the grille, auto turns on if the showers running, and added a sonof switch to "boost" it when doing a stinky poo. Only cones on when needed not with the lights x
+1 For home assistant I’ve got about 600 devices running on my setup I prefer to use Shelly relays as you can use them to actively sniff for Bluetooth devices then you can use home assistant to only trigger automations based on who is in the room the fun with automating your house never stops 👍 top job as always Nick
Building Control made the guy who fitted my bathroom fan ; A) use ridgid pipe from the fan unit to the outside vent and have a fall - necessitated raising the fan significantly B) use insulated flexible from the room vent to the fan - and no excess loops/bends C) they came back and tested that a fan overrun was set (they had other stuff to inspect as well)
I had a new build inspection and one of the points the bulder had to rectify was they used tape to fix the flexible ducting to the inlet/outlets for the extractor's, It should have a mechanical fixing (like a metal strap or jubilee clip)
downlights with wagos are a blessing, so many downlights have extremely bad terminals that pull out as soon as you shove the light in the ceiling or really fiddly screws that fall out easily and/or break easily when you tighten the terminals.
Really nice to see electricians getting into the world of home assistant. About the LED strip thing. You or your brother can look around for a smart ARGB LED strip controller, the led youre talking about is called addressable LED strip and those let you have those animations etc pretty cool, so youll need ARGB LED strip and ARGB controller and thats it. Most of them want a 12v/24v supply with a barrel jack and they have terminals for hardwired power so i'd suggest getting a meanwell DIN rail mountable power supply and mount it all up in a junction box so its all contained
Pixel Lx is who we use for addressable tapes. Have done a couple projects with it and seems decent, customer support is quality too. Mostly plug and play as well 👍🏻
Two points - 1. did you fit a backdraught shutter on the extraction (unless the fan has one built-in) and 2. your bro really needs to upgrade that loft insulation. By doing so he WILL save a load of heat escape (=lower heating cost) and also the ceiling will be warmer, reducing the condensation problem.
I have an Aeotec multi sensor 6 in and ceiling mount. Thats turns the lights on when it senses movement and turns the fan on when the room is hot or humidity rises. Also speak to Arc LEDs about your led. I’m sure they do it.
Drill through from in the loft then pull up a soil pipe with the grill attached with some cable also make the grill adjustable by slotting the fixings so the grill sits flush to the wall
Was going to comment but plenty have already given the solutions. Home assistant to mirror state, no need to link. And WLED is the future for addressable Leds. Love the videos. Would be cool to see more of your bros HA as I'm getting into it too.
You need a strip of ws2812b leds they are individually addressable along the whole strip ao you can even have each one display a different colour or if you have a panel out of them you can make pictures etc then you need an appropriate controller for them to allow them to be addressed how you wish, you can get simple controllers with patterns already programmed or you can get right in to the programming side of things and run them off of atmega chips but these require some form of coding knowledge but its what peopem use to make fantastic art displays etc out of whole houses for Halloween and Christmas etc
A nice neat job as usual. I’ve started using collapsible external vent grills that can be pushed through from inside so no need for external access. Available from that well know on line store.
I would change the light to be a SONOFF M5, so you can read the state of the light at any time. Theb fit the sonoff relay that will be driven by HA, when the light switch is on, the extraction fan goes on. To mitigate the humidity, i would get a sonoff SNZB. This will read any high humidity and make a rule in HA to keep the fan on in case the humidity is still high sfter the light switch is turned off.
Home Assistant paired with an ESP32 chip and WLED installed can control the LED's (Athom offer a pre-packaged box) add individually addressable LED's like WS2812B 5V from BTF-lighting and you're be up and running. Configuring the light effects will take a bit of time based on LED count and segments you want to create. Being a fellow HA virgin I'm sure this will be fun for your brother. Shelly relays maybe be better a solution than Sonoff, there is quite a range! They have 'mini' versions with power monitoring that fit in a back box behind the switch, 35mm at a squeeze, 47mm comfortably. Just done the lighting for our main bathroom but kept the extractor fan separate as it has its own humidity sensor built in. Cheers Stuart from Wighton IT.
had a similar issue with our new bathroom. It doesn't have any windows, so light has to be on every time you use it, but clearly don't want extractor to be on all the time. I put a water sensor on the hot water feed for the shower and used that to switch the extractor fan - so only comes on when someone has a (hot) shower! Did put a momentary switch in parallel in the airing cupboard so it can be manually turned on too.
The X50 look great tbf. I’m trying to move away from integrated though because I fitted Ovia Nano for the last 6/7 years with no problems other than the odd failure, but guess what?! Discontinued! I don’t like their new replacements either. So good LED lamp and can is the way for me now
nice setup with the option of the fan not switching on at specific times 😎 For ducting going through brickwork / cavities / and that. . . it's recommended that rigid ducting is used for this bit. You can get 1m lengths from Screwfix instead of having to get a length of 110mm PVC pipe or that 🙂
I think all you need is an LED strip that's individually addressable, I believe lifX sells them. The behaviour of progressing turn on can be set on the controller which then happens each time you flick the switch.
Nick, any recomendations for smart breakers in distribution box? i want them to link to home assistant so i can monitor power usage on different circuits?
Im surprised they dont make a flue vent like they do with combi boiler where you put a rope through the hole and can pull the vent up into place without having the need to have direct physical access to the outside wall.
Xpelair SSWKWR 92991AB 100mm Easy-Fit Wall Kit with White Round Grille. Easy fit all from the inside. I've fit a few now. Not quite the same as having to pull the flue with a string though. Flue snug is way better for internal fit flues. It's less fuss coring 152mm hole than having to climb up ladders. I've seen an install where someone used it on a fan extractor too.
Like he said , I always use them for extractors fast and simple especially handy if next door is so close can’t get a ladder in , only gripe they aren’t any ridges on the spigot so need to really crank those tie wraps tight or sometimes flexi ducting slips off when it’s freezing outside for the 1st time
Love watching content like this, a mixture of tips and insight into how a job is done thanks for sharing. It wasn't quite clear to me, did he cover up the vent tubing and fan with the loft insulation or just the vent?
With those sonoff switches, I believe S1 is essentially a permanent live out, so if you wanted to turn the fan on if the lights turn on then you should be able to connect the L out of the lights to S2 of the fan as these switches expect an input on S2. I'm not sure if you are able to stop this behaviour from home assistant as it could be in the sonoff design. I think I would just turn the fan on if the lights are turned on via HA (at whatever times etc) then you can just ignore S1 and S2 of the fan's sonoff switch
The best way to link two smart switches is through home assistant, even two sonoff switches don’t like same input on s2 i have not found why, but yes ultimatelly connect light switch to sonoff one and imitate state on second one, plus add few minutes of fan on after light has been switched off ;)
It helps if when the fan is on there is fresh air coming in usually by a small gap under the door so there is air movement. Do the improved JCC downlights look the same as the old ones when installed or was that why you had to replace them all?
Yo I use click smart they do a module that do 2 things an can be programed on timers to work together or off one switch don't they make a module the same
Love this video - the HA stuff really appeals - you should do more stuff for free with your brother. I have 2 Shelly relays for our bathroom extractor fans that I need to fit because my kids think everything is automated in this house so shower without putting the fan on manually. Also, so many missed opportunities about Adam's mum. Whats going on ?
Re the Sonoffs You can just wire the 1 And have the other one follow the state So switch on/off lights And the extractor follow state - with condition when within timeframe. However ..... I'd recommend something else instead - Have a look at the sonoff TH16 < or whatever - its just the temp and humidity variant When humidity > 90% - switch on < 60% switch off. Because the ceiling and humidity is what causes the issues. You also don't need the extra on all the time when you just pop into the bathroom .... You could also do this : When light switches off (when they were on for > 5min) - turn on extractor fan for 5 min (just to get smells out) But if you quickly go into the room, it wont activate. (these can be done with sensors as well) You could also add a condition the door was closed. ^ so door sensor. Like if you go into the bathroom, but don't close the door .... 90% chance you dont need the extractor. But if you are in there (maybe lets say 15min not 5min...) ... extractor when you open the door probs good idea Since if smells - door is now open so pulls air out (mini vacuum) And if humidity triggers, then forces airflow to make sure the rooms humidity level drops so no moisture (few hours btw .... from my experience) The biggest thing is think of it like this. Main thing you need to control is the lights if all else fails. But the extractor is not something someone needs to specifically control - so you can automate the hell out of it and never think of it again. Then your final question. Look at QuinLED - he is also a youtuber so you can look at the varients that he has. But all HA supported LED control boards.... so have fun to your hearts content :)
I thought I was the only one with a smart extractor. I set mine so it doesn't come on during the night. Two independent switches controlled by home assistant. (Sonoff switches flashed with Tasmota)
I have my whole flat kitted out with addressable LED's, ESP32, and WLED, which lots of people are suggesting. If you need to know about that stuff there is some soldering involved, it's not exactly plug and play, but I have a tub of ESP32's spare and I can tell you all you need to know or send you some vids of my setup, leme know if you need pointers
I would have used a two gang zigbee module the switches on the Sonoff are isolated probably looking for a pull up resistor so by joining the 2 modules switches probably messing up the resistance it’s looking for, I’ve been doing home assistant for well over 8 years now but it wasn’t as easy to setup at the start you had to do it all in yaml files. oh the zigbee 😂 (Paul Hibert you tuber) not quite sure what switch your using but you could use a double pole switch to switch both modules at the same time if that’s required, the you tuber who got me into home assistant was Dr Zzz and he does loads of videos about addressable led’s
Why oh why can't they come up with a better retention mechanism that those bloody sprung wing things. Every time you remove one you take a chunk out of the ceiling!
Also, could raise the fan up so at least water runs outside if it does condense. I've just found a duct with a few litres of water in my loft, installer had left plenty of slack ducting just coiled up as the low point. Luckily it was the vent for the soil stack, so easy-ish to pour it away. Must be some rain getting in. I've removed the slack now, so if rain does get in, it just goes down the stack.
@@JasGaweraYou can purchase ducting with a condensate run off. It's a great solution. I'd have the ducting fall to the external exhaust point if possible though.
I posted a couple of links for the leds - It will be in your held comments. Sonoff - connected S1 to S2 switches the device on but you do not want the extractor to come on always when the light is on!
where is that stated? i know it's notifiable works and a commissioning form should be submitted by a competent person but i'm struggling to find the regs that say you need to do a course and be re-assessed every year. thanks
