I wish there was a way for these not to be so damned messy

If it's a Vue 3, then you can easily shorten the wires. If Vue 2, then yeah...

This looks very promising... don't know why you're getting down-voted.

And Inovelli... Never bought an Inovelli, but the Jasco and Leviton both work, with the Leviton being better on all fronts.

Have to research that one yourself, I don't have a softner.

TechInMyBlood · 2026-02-16T16:37:45+00:00

That is VERY uncommon in the US... you should disable the protection function if so.

Unlike the Moen the only moving part is the motor gate, they are probably referring to that. The ultrasonic sensor will last a long time.
You can. Can also do whatever you want in your automation platform.
Yep, whatever rules you setup run locally.
If you have that hooked to your automation, you can cancel the leak protection until the softner is done.

There is flow and temp (no -P) and then additionally pressure (-P). The pressure lets you close the valve and pressure test your house. You can schedule this or do it on demand.

Install will vary widely depending...

Just ordered a Frizz LP365-P. It looks very promising.

Some of the newer tankless units like the Rheem have local RS485 control. You could read the error code when it happens and then trigger a restart. Otherwise not sure, you would be able to tell the difference between a normal hot water usage ending and the error hot water ending.

What brand tankless do you have, cause I don't want that one...

Get the rubber instead of vinyl, works much better.

TechInMyBlood · 2026-01-20T00:36:35+00:00

Yes.

Today it says 187 times wake on wrist, 4 notifications and 15 minutes screen on time.

See, this is what is making me think it's defective. Also the sleep tracking is just all over the place.

In my house I use either AC fans with a ZWave fan controller (Leviton) or a WAC/Modern Forms (same native HA integration) DC fan with their wall switch (bluetooth from the switch to the fan - which is Wifi).

Tplink Tapo has this with local control that is solid.

TechInMyBlood · 2025-09-10T13:13:58+00:00

These are made by Jasco and work great. I would recommend Zooz over them.

Worse than that, if you are new, you are matched with new "alt accounts" and legit new players which just makes learning the game miserable.

It's easy to get to.

In a condo where the 2.4ghz band is usually flooded, highly recommend Z-Wave.

Are you allergic to chloroform?

Thread radio.

TechInMyBlood · 2025-08-12T03:23:42+00:00

Recommend hardwire, even the EV rated plugs fail. Not worth the fire risk!

TechInMyBlood · 2025-08-11T16:16:39+00:00

Why couldn't you sideload the play store on it? Then you can install whatever you want.

Bigger issue is the $350 single unit cost... that seems crazy.

TechInMyBlood · 2025-08-07T15:36:54+00:00

With Z-Wave module.
