I've got a cube that's hooked into my Home Assistant setup that works similarly. Flipping the cube upside down turns my bedside light on or off, rotating it clockwise increases the brightness, and counterclockwise decreases it.
- lblume 2y agoHow exactly does it communicate these changes, if I might ask?
- Tyr42 2y agoCheck out the zigbee2mqtt page for the cube https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/MFKZQ01LM.html https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/MFKZQ01LM.html
- kolektiv 2y agoI did something similar using these: https://eu.aqara.com/products/aqara-cube-t1-pro https://eu.aqara.com/products/aqara-cube-t1-pro (or rather, an earlier iteration). Just Zigbee, nothing too complex, and then you hook it into something which knows how to interpret the events it sends (or events + current state if you want it to be a little more contextually smart). I generally tried to centralise the smarts, dumb devices and a smart interpreter always worked out more robust than clever devices. It's amazing how many combinations of actions you can indicate just by shaking/tapping/turning/flipping - more than enough to do the things you commonly do with one actuator (a light or set of lights for example).
- hinkley 2y agoOne that comes to mind is: flip over to turn on/off, flip over and back again to randomize (like a snow globe).
- mrWiz 2y agokolektiv's parallel comment explains it perfectly.
