Great thread, I understand most of the house bashing side, but the automation goes straight over my head in the depth your doing it. Cabling for days.
Came across this thread yesterday and read the whole thing wtih fascination - great job!
One question though. I'm (very) new to the whole DIY automation thing, and was interested / confused at the part where you went through your process for the lighting control. Would you mind going through the steps and what each one does please?
You had;
Loxone -> Node-Red -> MQTT -> ESP32
I didn't follow exactly what each of these things did though, so would you (or anyone else) mind outlining what function each part does and why the seperate bits are necessary please?
cheers!

- is the combination of loxone / node red / MQTT analogous to HomeSeer with some plugins? (albeit with the latter presumably being a bit less sophisticated?)
- you mention that rako wasn’t DIY friendly....would you be able to expand on that? I’ve seen that rako should be supporting IFTTT (but this seems to be a “coming in 2020’ thing so presumably wasn’t a factor for you in 2018?)
Thanks, I can honestly say I'll never do a house again while living in it. If the dust doesn't kill me I'm sure the alcohol/junk food I consume due to the stress of it all will!
build pictures. Am sure many others are. All
Just spent an hour or two reading this whole thread. Great progress and really I terwting write ups - keep em coming!
ThanksWell done on updating after so long, you're making me want to write out a lengthy update to my own thread if I even get a spare afternoon (not friggin' likely!).
