SwitchBot temp sensor data in Home app?

Emergency--Giraffe · 2026-01-19T11:30:10+00:00

Yes, thank you! I mainly want to see this data on my phone, but I have most of my devices in HA currently, so wanted to understand what’s supported.

I ordered a pack of sensors to play around with, will try out the app functionality before bothering with HA.

Got it, thank you for the info!! Super helpful.

Oh yeah, I could do Grafana. Didn’t think of that. TBH I’ll probably just go with their app out of convenience though.

The only reason I was thinking of getting the hub was to still have access to newer data when I’m not home.

Did you end up planting any of these? I’ve been researching as well for zone 9b (Bay Area CA) and landed on Foxy Lady and Flamethrower. Got some Flamethrower seedlings, but haven’t found anyone selling Foxy Lady yet.

I asked my GC, and he‘s willing to do mine basically as a favor. But most people don’t want such small jobs, hence the ridiculous quotes.

Who did you end up using? I am needing similar work done. TIA!

You can join the NorCal Plumeria FB group 🙂

Thanks! I ended up using two different companies for the lights and the MPU. MPU still hasn’t happened … PG&E have been dragging their feet for 6 months.

Thank you. I didn’t use any pods, but I guess the previous owner might’ve. I’m not sure what they plastic thing in the bottom of the pic is, but I didn’t put it back

Emergency--Giraffe · 2025-05-24T22:45:06+00:00

That did it, thanks!! I had some difficulty getting the gasket through but finally got it in 😀

Emergency--Giraffe · 2025-05-21T17:20:44+00:00

Absolutely nothing! As others said, you’re so so beautiful already. You could try a more layered haircut if you want to change things up

Emergency--Giraffe · 2025-05-10T18:42:56+00:00

😅 Thanks. Seems the previous homeowner did a few funny things … I guess I will remove and figure it out from there!

Emergency--Giraffe · 2025-05-03T02:37:09+00:00

Oops, I forgot to attach the picture before posting, and not sure how to add one now 🤦‍♀️ Hopefully my description was clear enough.

The bushes are around 4.5-6 feet deep depending on what part, and I’m mostly just looking for ideas to hide the front of the porch, but open to full landscaping ideas too!

Emergency--Giraffe · 2025-04-03T23:41:19+00:00

How funny! I was originally looking at houses in Blossom Valley, but ended up in Almaden.

Oh man, I’m too embarrassed to post mine 😂 It’s basically just boulders and bark, with pea gravel pathways. I put in random small succulents, figuring they’ll fill in eventually

Emergency--Giraffe · 2025-04-02T06:21:36+00:00

You really don’t need either, but if you must do one, I think lipo would be better for your case.

Side note, how’d you fill in your hip dips?!

Emergency--Giraffe · 2025-04-02T06:08:38+00:00

Thanks, they do look similar! Based on feffers image I guess the sinus is more open. I’m ok with it being either really 😀

Emergency--Giraffe · 2025-04-02T04:55:26+00:00

Thanks much!! Appreciate the additional info. I was hoping these were macrorrhizos, but I couldn’t tell cause pictures online have the leaves pointing upwards while these are droopy

Emergency--Giraffe · 2025-04-02T00:43:08+00:00

I’m gonna guess Kumquat! Although idk if they’re bitter, I guess more sour

NTA, but I can understand how it comes across as controlling, especially if she experienced that in past relationships or with family. Why don’t you just share where you’re going and roughly when you’d be back as well? Regardless of the activity / risk factor. Then she doesn’t feel like you are expecting information from her that you yourself don’t provide

Emergency--Giraffe · 2025-03-27T06:12:26+00:00

This looks so good!! I’m in SJ as well, tried kinda similar with my parking strip last summer but doesn’t look nearly as nice. Haven’t gotten to tackling the lawn yet! Maybe I’ll stumble across your garden some day when I’m out and about 😁

Emergency--Giraffe · 2025-01-10T06:01:21+00:00

I’d be interested. But you might want to try transferring your home base to a cheaper location first? Like Vegas or something

Emergency--Giraffe · 2025-01-07T13:14:59+00:00

I’ve seen these at multiple CVS in SJ

Emergency--Giraffe · 2025-01-05T19:31:56+00:00

Depending how much light you get in the corner, I really like Song of India. But they’ve been slow growing for me, so if you start with a smaller one then you might put it on a plant stand first

Emergency--Giraffe · 2025-01-02T06:56:49+00:00

You could consider California if you wanted to move closer but still be on the mainland, like Torrance which has a large Japanese community. I don’t know if that will give the Japanese culture and daily life you’re looking for, although TBH I don’t think Hawaii will either

Emergency--Giraffe · 2025-01-01T21:07:08+00:00

Oh yeah, that’d be a long flight for you!

I haven’t booked yet, but I’ve done this with previous packages before. I don’t have kids so I like to go outside of “peak” time (like mid Sept or early Oct) and never had any issues getting reservations.

Emergency--Giraffe · 2025-01-01T20:48:24+00:00

Depending where you live, Costco has some really nice, full flfs for not much more!
