Zipato video tutorial suggestions

Vedran Brundić shared this question 8 years ago
Need Answer

Hello everyone,


Today, we are looking to get some feedback from you regarding our video tutorial section and knowledge base in general. For those we aren't familiar with our knowledge base, you can find all our previous work here:

https://community.zipato.com/knowledge-base/articles


The question is, which tutorials do you guys want us to make? Are there any specific features that a lot of you use daily, and we have somehow missed them? Please let us know which tutorials you would like to see, and we'll do our best to implement them.


Thank you so much for your time!


Best regards,

Zipato Support Team

First of all thanks for asking for feedback, it is the best way to work on things that are needed. Based on my own needs and posts that I see daily I have a few ideas of tutorials;


1. Phillips Hue - Basic Control, Triggering Scenes from Zipabox using HTTP puzzle.

2. Sonos - Basic Control, Using text-to-speech server to stream to Sonos (Ivona, etc).

3. Zwave Associations - How to add / delete, useful examples.

4. How to use groups

5. Zwave Locks - How to add, adding/configuring users, configuring locks in alarm for quick arm/disarm, triggering rules with events, rule examples.

6. Virtual Weather Station - How to add, how to trigger rules using it's information (rain for example).


These are the ones I can think of right now... Some of them

+100 for the sonos and text to speech streams.

And the cluster and sip integrations/inclusions/setups.

I forgot, also how to add a secondary controller to the same z-wave network (let's say Zipatile/Zipabox or Zipatile/Zipatile, Zipabox/Zipatile).

Double down for Alberto's suggestions. Great if you could cover the topics suggested by him.

I generally find the videos very helpful to start knowing your Zipato controller. Once you are above the basic level, the valuable examples are buried in this forum and sometimes is difficult to get.


Many thanks for taking care of this issue

Dominik,


Thanks for the video I will try with my two Zipato Bulbs and let you know. Can you tell us for which type of devices does grouping works? I know for a fact that grouping does not work if you group sensors or if you group phillips hue bulbs. Thank you.
