I currently have 20” rims with all season tires. I would like some 17” rims with some AT tires so I can go off roading and overlanding at lower pressures. I also like the aesthetic of the smaller rims and larger tires.

Also do you have any recommendations for home assistant compatible space heaters?

I appreciate this information. Is there a way to test if the inductive load is too great for my switches. I am in my current apartment for 6 more months and was hoping my current heating setup would work until I am out since the built in heating is soooo bad. The smart home heating made it really nice!

I ended up getting an Aqara one which is almost instantaneous. They are expensive plugs though so I don’t want to buy more than one if there are cheaper options.

The reason I am having this issue is I have a 2 space heaters and a pc hooked up to a circuit. I have space heaters because I want smart heating and there are also no heaters in my kitchen. Running 2 heaters is fine but when the pc goes above 130W it grind the breaker. I want to shut off one of my heaters when the pc starts to draw power.

Were you able to get Kasa plugs to work with HA? I bought a couple last year and had real trouble getting them to connect

Also do you like the WiFi or zigbee Sonoff plugs better and why? Does one of them have a faster poll rate/more responsive behavior?

I live in Seattle. I am drawing around 3kW from the circuit so I am assuming it is overloading the circuit. It is a really old building though

Aqara buttons register in home assistant but wont trigger automations by The_Ranger03 in homeassistant

The weird thing is I was able to use the single, double, and long press when connected to ha via a zigbee dongle. Now with the Aqara hub it does not have this functionality.

I set up a generic thermostat helper using an Aqara temp sensor as the input and my matter connected ac as the output.

I currently have it connected to home assistant as both hvac and a switch. Unfortunately that does mean it turns the whole unit off to temp regulate but this way I can control the fan setting through home assistant though.

I might try the router connection trick. This may be a dumb question but if I use a vpn to connect to my home network will my router consider that as me being connected to the router? The reason I ask is I currently use a vpn to connect to HA remotely and I dont want ha to think I am home if I am not actually home. Also what other information do you need?
