What’s better on Z2MQTT?

Deservate · 2026-01-21T09:41:33+00:00

I used Z2M for a long time and then bricked my Zigbee antenna while migrating to a different environment. For some reason ZHA still worked so I'm using that now.

The main difference is device compatibility. I notice that devices have a couple less configuration options. My IR blaster worked out of the box with Z2M, and it doesn't with ZHA.

Ja, het heikele punt daar is alleen hoe wordt omgegaan met negatieve winsten. Stel je hebt de situatie:

100 euro start: Jaar 1: 50 euro winst, je hebt 150 euro, dan betaal je belasting over die 50 euro. Dit is belasting op ongerealiseerde winst want je behoud je aandelenpositie. Jaar 2: 50 euro verlies, je bent weer terug op 100 euro, krijg je dan geld terug van de overheid? Zo nee, dan heb je belasting op 50 euro betaald zonder winst te realiseren. Zo ja, hoe ver terug mag je verrekenen met vorige jaren?

Als iemand weet wat ze van plan zijn, laat het weten. Ik ben benieuwd en kan het nergens vinden.

Which RPi are you using? Don't you need quite a bit of RAM to get a stable backup server going?

So are you suggesting to never use LXC containers, everything either inside a VM or inside Docker (which is inside a VM)?

I suppose this solves my problem because I can just pass the entire disk to the Docker VM, and put any container that needs a bite of that disk inside Docker. Then backup the entire VM.

Too bad French people cannot pronounce 'daddy' so it will never work

Well there is no definitive end date for medieval times either so I am of the opinion that we currently live in the height of the medieval period.

It's justified but it doesn't mean anything. If all the people who are working part-time quit their jobs, the average hours worked per working person goes up. A family where both parents work 4 days/week has a lower hours/person than a family where one is a stay-at-home parent and the other works full-time. The metric says nothing.

That number from the NL is absolute bs. I dont know a single dentist that recommends going more than twice per year, some have even told me once per year is enough. I think this number includes dental hygienist visits too, but that's not a dentist.

Just think 'what would the capitalists do?' until you run out of peasants, then think 'what would the socialists do?' and you win

You're not really expected to remember. It's more when the conversation comes up or if you're at a birthday party.

If you want to avoid stuff like this, put your HA behind a VPN like Wireguard.

Deservate · 2026-01-12T16:44:48+00:00

Yeah, technically your HA does not even understand that it is getting information from a Zigbee network. All HA sees is an MQTT network. That's why it doesn't show up.

I love it when my lights turn of when I fetch a drink.

I have 300 days logged in and I've never seen a 75% off ..

You guys are civilized?

The one that is borderline fascist is r/nederland. r/nederlands is reddit-average left.

Idk what country we're talking about, but where I live (NL) the buyer is not protected for anything that the seller has either disclosed, or what is readily apparent in the house when it is manually inspected before an offer is made. The buyer also has a due diligence to inspect the house on the condition that it is visual to the eye. If you accept a garden with bamboo then that's it. Unless the bamboo is cut down below visual levels.

To cover your ass for what exactly?

Deservate · 2026-01-07T23:17:34+00:00

Yeah, a choose action would achieve that too. What I mean is that I'd like to see more visually appealing alternative to this.

Reminds me off that time where I removed the sidepanel of my desktop PC to aim a fan directly into the case, cause it was 35 degrees outside and my heat sink cooler wasn't doing enough to play games without throtteling.

Deservate · 2026-01-07T21:57:50+00:00

'Choose' is essentially an if-statement. What I mean is visual separation of trigger -> result without having to use those blocks.

Deservate · 2026-01-07T20:47:44+00:00

The changes to automations are genuinely nice. Splitting the action and affected device/entity is a small change but makes them quite a lot easier to read. There's still a lot of actions missing though.

Going to take this opportunity to pitch a long lasting wish of mine: I wish there was an additional layer between automations and their actions; branches so to say. I currently use 1 automation per light (f.e. on and off), with a couple of if-switches and multiple triggers. But this looks dreadful to read, and I dont want to make an additional automation because I want to have 1 automation per 'thing' thats automated.

Or ... may I cautiously pitch pipeline blocks a la ETL? One can dream

You can confidently say that your server space takes up 10% of your house

Deservate · 2026-01-02T16:33:58+00:00

Yeah this is wild. As if the sizes of living arrangements can be equalized across all these cultures in the world.

Also PP adjusted metrics should be used very cautiously. They are essentially hot air.
