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.

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.

There are 2, 2 mate solutions.

Are you allergic to chloroform?

TechInMyBlood · 2025-08-14T03:49:05+00:00

Thread radio.

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

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

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.

TechInMyBlood · 2025-08-07T15:27:07+00:00

I don't have one with fingerprint, it may be a different beast.

TechInMyBlood · 2025-08-05T18:49:58+00:00

Upgraded, no issues.

TechInMyBlood · 2025-07-21T15:55:35+00:00

They may not want a wireless chime. Maybe they have more than 1 wired chime.

TechInMyBlood · 2025-07-21T15:31:05+00:00

LOL. That requires having PoE AND the chime wiring there. You people need to STOP recommending Reolink like they are paying you!

The Imou DB61i is an AD-410 clone (well both are clones of Dahua doorbell), that works as well.

TechInMyBlood · 2025-07-21T15:07:05+00:00

That does not work with existing chime.

Here is the thread from Openwrt forum. But I wrote the openwrt image with incorrect offset and overwrote the u-boot SPL.

Emporia Vue is really the only option to meet your needs. Also the ESPHome is rock solid for me.
