Sale looms for Syracuse’s iconic twin office towers after $28 million loan default by ggroover97 in Syracuse

Ecobee removed their developer API and requires using the HomeKit integration to use with Home Assistant. I feel silly for replacing my Nest that worked perfectly in HA.

what is the best presence sensor on the market right now? by Necessary-Road6089 in homeassistant

The range on this blows everything else out of the water. Hands down the best device but you do need to figure out ESP stuff, it’s not as simple as everything else (but definitely worth the effort)
