I am back to the forum after 3 years of absence..
My GEM and Dashbox are still running fine.
I have been doing Home Automation with Wink since day one as Beta Tester but now it seem to be way behind.
I have ask them for an API key to integrate Wink with Home Assistant and never heard from them.
And also depending on external network to control everything is not always reliable.
I have played with OpenSourceAutomation for awhile. Then i got a SmartThings Hub which the community is very active then lately
i installed Home Assistant Hassio version on a RPi3 added up the Zwave and ZigBee USB key. There is ton's of integration with HA and it is open community.
So i saw that GEM could be integrated to HA.
So here I am...
Here are some questions?
First i would like to get up to date on GEM and Dashbox.
- Presently GEM is at COM 4.0 and ENG 1.49, What is the benefit to update to COM 4.33?
- Any new feature of only bug fixes?
- So how to i get update for DashBox?
- Also is there a way to know what space is left on SD card thu Web Gui or SSH.?
Home Assistant
For Home automation i am moving gradually from WINK Hub to Home Assistant and SmartThings.
I would like to integrate GEM with HA.
So far the instructions says i need to get GEM to send packet to my HA server.
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrati ... e_monitor/ but instruction does not give much details
My GEM is already sendind data via IP to my Dashbox.
- Can i set up GEM to send thru IP to Dashbox and to HA at the same time? I don't see how i could do it.
- Do i have to feed the Dashbox with serial 2 from GEM and use the IP to point to HA and were i put the port 8000?
I know Serial could be extended thru Cat5 or 6 cable but would like to stay IP all the way.
I have try in DashBox to Packet Forward to my HA on port 8000 but i don't see anything coming IN the HA. Dont event know what format i is sending packet from DashBox.
- is there a way to see if Dashbox is sending info to HA?
- Or is there a software or application i could run on a laptop to received whatever Dashbox is sending to my laptop IP on port xxx?
