Then, I instantly remind myself that there's a massive undertaking once you get it and I have other unfinished projects.
It also doesn't help that Google is slowly catching up in terms of native functionality.
They've added routines and it seems like they're exposing some of their API to Amazon so you can use Alexa skills to control Nest devices.
But you know what they haven't added? A delay/wait/pause command. All I want is a reliable way to delay actions in a routine and they simply won't do it.
Besides delay/wait/pause, the other issue with google is that one device triggering a second device action is difficult/impossible ime.
Honestly, the main reason I wish I had used relays earlier is because then I could have kept my dumb light switches (which fit into the gangbox) instead of replacing them with zwave switches (which barely fit and are a bit more expensive).
I'm using the AEOTEC on my RPi now..
I'm a bit rusty on this stuff. I built my system 3+ years ago. I use it every day but I don't remember all that I did to build it
My tankless is a Navien and one of the options is a hard wired, low voltage button option where you can have multiple buttons throughout your house to activate the Recirculation pump which gets the cold water out of the hot water line.

These relay are also used quite often fo open a garage door

Yeah, the smart garage door usage is one of the most common ones. I don't have the relay, but I believe they have a garage door mode pre-programmed for Hubitat.

Moreover, I returned one dimmer ( which, in fact, I damaged due to incorrect wiring ) and received the replacement with no hassle . However, I admitted what I did and was told to correct the wiring ( received the detailed diagram with explanation from them )

Also, each sale tends to have slightly different prices, usually +/- $3-5. And different items.

Thanks. It would free up a USB port I guess. Which might be nice because they are so close on the RPi that I have to use extensions.
But I'm thinking I don't feel like re-learning what I did so I can use this.
