I have bought a xiaomi ZigBee smart plug and paired it with my Mi hub. I want the plug to control my router. But when I set on/off schedules , it will turn off the router but it wont turn it on after the scheduled time. Can it be solved?
It cant be done Via Gateway V2 as far as i know.I used the gateway V3 and scheduled it via mihome app . it set the network mode of automation to lan mode for some automations.

I have a SIM7000A device that sees the Verizon tower. I am using Ting wireless SIM to create an IoT device to send emergency information to a homeowner. The SIM works on T-Mobile and Verizon networks.
You can see the tower:
I have selected the wireless.dish.com APN to connect to.
When I try to connect I get this:
My IMEI number is a registered device with Ting. I've verified that.
Using the AT Command Tester for Simcom Modules I get an error when I try to check the Preferred Operators list. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it.
It seems like when I try to connect, Verizon is trying to validate my device and halting me. How do I connect "through" Verizon's network to the Ting network?
Well, I figured it out. The SIM7000A is not compatible with the Verizon network. According to the person I spoke with at Ting.com, this device only works on T-mobile. With that network, it is not even worth trying to distribute my product to consumers if it uses this chip. I show AT&T as available from this chip but it won't connect to Ting.com regardless. She said it is only compatible with T-Mobile.
I guess I will have to find a new chip.
Hello.
I have recently been trying to mount a home automation station on a raspberry.
I need to communicate with the station via SMS. To do this, I order a 3G dongle (UMTS / GSM / 3G / 4G etc ...) operating on the country's network (verified frequencies). I connect to the network via wifi. But when connecting the 3G dongle, here I am blocked on access to Wifi.
My first question is therefore: is this normal?
And my second is: is it possible to make both work in parallel?
Thx all
It depends on the exact use case or requirement and type of device in hand.
In general, the device will choose/use the wireless connection with better connectivity strength as per its design/specification and also it depends on the support at device.
In case you have the option of WiFi Hotspot tethering enabled, it is possible that most of the devices nowadays allow you to use 3G for the internet communication and at the same time, it allows WiFi hotspot sharing with the help of WiFi from your device.
Also, few devices have support for file sharing between device to device whereby they provide support for wifi direct and wifi sharing while 3G connectivity with internet is still fine. Few devices from Samsung, support an application called "Download Booster" that allows your device to download files using WiFi connection and a mobile data connection simultaneously.
Few devices from Apple starting iOS 7 introduced Multipath TCP enables users to have their streaming music to never get interrupted while on high mobility or in trains and other vehicles with changing connectivity whereby no manual switch from between WiFi and Cellular is required in which case, the device shall stay connected over both cellular and WiFi simultaneously and whenever the WiFi connection fails, the cellular connection shall continue with streaming operation without any interruption.
There is also a app called 'Speedify' in android that uses channel bonding technology to combine multiple Internet connections together for increased throughput & redundancy and thereby it can merge WiFi and Cellular connection simultaneously. Here, a Speedify client software is used to establish a connection to a Speed Server in cloud that acts as a middleman between you and the rest of the internet. The Speedify client software then works together with Speed Server to distribute your internet traffic and deliver the combined speed of all available internet connections.
I would like to understand it is possible to switch the ESP8266 connection between the cloud and WiFi LAN.
There are two paths to control the sonoff switch, connected to a wifi router. In case the phone is connected to the router, Path 1 acts as LAN network and ESP8266 can be controlled even without internet. In case I am not at home and would like to control the switch remotely via cloud, path 2 would be followed. Thus, I could get the best of both worlds.
From all the examples that i have seen so far ESP8266 could be operated in only one mode at one point of time, either Lan or cloud (both via the WiFi router).
So kindly help me with the switching code/logic, that will wait to work upon the commands provided via LAN mode if there are none left. Now it should work upon the instructions after switching to cloud mode and finally return to LAN mode after sometime and so on.
For security reasons your Sonoff device should not be reachable from the internet directly - ever. It should only be accessible within your local (home) network. That's your path 1.
To enable path 2 - without affecting the Sonoff device at all - you need a way to build a VPN from your smartphone to your local network. For the node it will look like all traffic is coming from your local network even though you are actually connecting into it from remote.
A fairly simple and cost-effective way to achieve this is to run PiVPN on a Raspberry Pi. See e.g. this video for instructions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15VjDVCISj0
What I want to do is have a complete control on beacon remotely through web/mobile app (RestApi). I already gone through following sites,
1)https://nectarkast.com/index.html
2)https://kontakt.io/products-and-solutions/beacon-software/
How do these site working? Are they using some custom beacons that has Wifi or network connecting functionality, any help would be really appreciable.
You need (a) a beacon with internet access or (b) a base station near those beacons with internet access and the ability to connect to them via Bluetooth to configure them.
It is also possible to build beacons using Lora, SigFox, or other IoT radio technologies that effectively gives a very low power internet connection that uses little battery.
I want to connect the Telegesis USB stick to this silabs kit over zigbee home automation profile. And i had convert it into home automation profile in Telegesis Terminal and both behave as coordinator into their configuration and can’t connect the network into ember Desktop. Anyone had done before,please help me.
A coordinator is a device that creates a personal area network (PAN) and may permit other devices to join that network. When you make both devices behave as coordinator, they are forming separate networks and therefore can not communicate with each other. Even if you gave them the same PAN ID, ZigBee has some anti-collision mechanisms built into the protocol so that they will "know" the networks are distinct and not allow any crossover.
What you should do is configure one of the two as a router or end device. These device types join the network created by the coordinator. The coordinator may need to be in a pairing or "permit joining" mode to allow this. This would be standard commissioning for the Home Automation profile that you want to use.
