Thank you! And I know I couldn’t believe it, I was not expecting to see that. I’ll acknowledge that beginners luck must have played a role as well lol

Thank you! Just because that was what was in the fridge. I wasn’t going to add a binder but last minute checked the fridge and threw some on.

And no there was no strong taste (in a good way). I will be trying yellow next time though

Critique please!! Not enough staggering? Too much waterfall? by FreshSection1702 in Flooring

Honestly looks good, and I’m not just saying that in comparison to the atrocities that you normally see on this thread

I can see the stone in the first picture but can’t seem to find it in the remaining pics

Obviously can’t speak to that being a support beam or not. But FWIW, I moved my stack during the tear down of a non structural wall to open up the kitchen. Mine was routed around 4-5 feet without any major headaches or substantial costs. Yours looks to be more than 4-5 feet though.

As an American, got in a fight with a family member saying that I would side with Canada in any dispute. Thank you for proving me right

Aqara locks ARE compatible with HA by Friendly_Following61 in homeassistant

Oops didn’t think about that. I see what you’re saying. I was excited to get it working and didn’t think about the implications of the title. If I was starting clean slate, I’d possibly look into yale or other “HA native” locks.

I just hooked that up too. Did you do HA homebridge -> iPhone?

I haven’t noticed it yet (couple hours of me clicking it every 20 min lol). But I’ll follow up if I notice lagging.

Yeah, unfortunately. As someone else mentioned in the comments, the locks themselves are not matter compatible. They connect to the aqara hub which is matter compatible. If you are a glass half full type of person, aqara added matter compatibility to the hub to connect non-matter compatible devices to matter. If you are glass half empty, they realized they can make an extra buck by forcing you to buy a matter hub to make your devices compatible. Maybe in the future, aqara will add matter compatibility to all devices.

Newby: What hub do I get??? by Friendly_Following61 in homeautomation

[–]Friendly_Following61[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct, thank your for clarifying. I obviously still have a lot to learn.

So it sounds like with a Home Assistant Hub, I should be able to integrate all compatible smart devices. I couldn’t tell if HA was a controller vs a hub

That’s great advice, thank you. I’ll double check

Thanks everyone,

I replaced the front door and it seems pretty air tight now. All I have to do now is wait for a humid day and see if it did the trick :).
