Luckily I have cats who scream when something interests them.

Previously it seemed fine for the past day and a half. Oddly enough this happened when I wasn't home and on a rare on-site work visit. It was only supposed to kick on for 10 seconds which it had before. Got a frantic call from the misses about the Misting System on my one display was running for over 10 minutes.
#DENDROBOARD SMART TIMER UPDATE#
I just wanted to update this as I've had my first failure with the Alexa WAIT function. Luckily the nook is in my fishroom that happens to be an additional utility room, problem is I'm limited by space and I'm trying to optimize what I've got for the projects I need to house in there. In order to relocate the timer, I'd need to either mount it under a shelf which would in turn expose it to possibly getting dripped on if there is a leak, or I'd have to pull the rack further away from the wall and then it won't 'fit' in the place I have it. I have the rack setup in a nook that is under some stairs where it fits perfectly the way it is. As I mentioned above in regards to the previous post, it's not exactly a simple thing to do. I don't see the point of sinking hundreds of dollars into a single plug that requires an additional hub just to make this work (as some garage door and driveway gate motor projects require.) I just wish the Amazon folks would realize that some people need timed functions that were not "turn on at 8:00AM and turn off at 8:01AM" and would put a timer function that is "at 8:00AM turn on device for HH:MM:SS duration."Īs for relocating the timer. I run a handful of Amazon Echo's throughout the house as they tie into my lighting (lamps and aquariums), home security system, HVAC, and prevent the girlfriend from shouting for me when she can't find me and I don't have my phone on me, yay intercom functions.įrom what I can tell, there are a lot of reasons seconds functions would be ideal even outside of misting solutions, but people are investing into industrial controllers that happen to tie into Alexa for their projects. Click to expand.In theory all off the shelf solutions will work in seconds, the problem is exactly what you mentioned the software.
