| Jun 4, 2018 at 10:22 | comment | added | Aaron F | @WillT. Home Assistant is written in Python and has plugins for many different devices. These are all exposed in a similar way: at a most basic level, there are 'sensors' and 'switches', then 'automations' are scripts which execute upon a change in sensor value and can operate switches. I can put more detail in an answer, hopefully later today... | |

| Feb 1, 2018 at 5:09 | comment | added | JCDeen | For the Z-Wave switch you mentioned, they do list "package dimensions" in the Amazon listing of 5 x 3.8 x 3 inches . What I usually do in a case like that is to find a website for the company making the component, and search for that specific item. You might be able to find a drawing giving exact dimensions. Or send an email or phone call to their support contacts. You could also post a question to those that have purchased one on the Amazon itself, and/or post a question to via the Amazon Innovelli storefront (click on the blue Innovelli link on the ad). | |
