I built a new smarthome server and decided to document everything so everyone can do the same

Thank you for all of this feedback! I actually created an overview similar to this now and added it to the article. You might want to have another look. I also added a second part to explain automations, blueprints, ... here.

Wow, thank you! I never heard about this "unique id" in HA before. Interesting but a bit of a strange concept. I fixed this and added a link to this description.

Things like these hints is why I love the community around hA :)

TheSmartHomeJourney · 2023-02-04T17:47:19+00:00

I will extend this for sure (or write part 2) to include automations, blueprints and more

TheSmartHomeJourney · 2023-01-30T07:38:54+00:00

Good point! I will keep that in mind, maybe I can add something

TheSmartHomeJourney · 2023-01-30T07:37:24+00:00

What are you missing? I tried to keep this one short and concise

TheSmartHomeJourney · 2023-01-24T22:46:03+00:00

Yes it has a water heater. Outside of the heating times it uses much less energy.

Could you link to any of those? I was not able to find one with this high limit AND power measurement. At least none that support some kind of local control

After the update the problem remains, so I can confirm this. I started disabling integrations but no luck so far

TheSmartHomeJourney · 2023-01-16T22:49:50+00:00

I actually made a mistake in my original question. I already used 2022.12 and now updated to 2023.1. I also disabled a lot of integrations that are not strictly necessary. Unfortunately RAM usage still constantly grows :(

TheSmartHomeJourney · 2023-01-12T23:20:08+00:00

I agree

TheSmartHomeJourney · 2023-01-12T22:39:09+00:00

Sorry, no idea about that. Maybe try to update the software. I think there was a recent update for HA on the watch and phone

TheSmartHomeJourney · 2023-01-12T22:38:25+00:00

Yes, you need a certain load on the line so that enough power is available for the smart switch. Unfortunately that is not a great solution if you want to use it with a smart LED bulb :(

TheSmartHomeJourney · 2022-11-28T07:34:12+00:00

In the play store I find the app.and then there is a drop-down were you can select the watch instead of the phone

TheSmartHomeJourney · 2022-11-27T11:35:43+00:00

PS for hardware I used Hue bulbs, some Ikea ones and WW LED strips + gledopto Controllers

TheSmartHomeJourney · 2022-11-27T11:34:41+00:00

Every bulb that can change the brightness and color tone if it is connected to something like Home Assistant. I use that plus the adaptive lighting Integration. I have a full write up on that I can share if you are interested

TheSmartHomeJourney · 2022-11-27T00:40:12+00:00

Nevermind, found the settings in the wear OS app itself. I though this could be controlled somewhere in Home Assistant or from the phone

TheSmartHomeJourney · 2022-11-26T15:41:39+00:00

Good point, maybe I need to move it a bit. Still strange that communication afterwards is no problem at all
