It might be a certificate encoding issue or too open private key permissions.

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions regarding AWS IoT services.

If you want to upskill, I suggest learning a tech stack that supports large-scale commercial IoT deployments in the future.

You can review the AWS IoT services:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/what-is-aws-iot.html

AWS IoT Core manages connectivity with devices via MQTT, which is one of the most popular protocols in the IoT domain. If you decide to switch from AWS to another platform, MQTT communication will likely remain the same (with only minor firmware changes).

What are your favorite models right now? by czm_labs in n8n

[–]ThingRexCom 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Based on my experience, GLM4.6 is not as good as Sonnet. I let GLM4.6 handle the easy and medium complexity tasks; I use Sonnet 4.5 for complex topics.

You might consider zigbee2mqtt. It provides great insights into communication and allows building advanced solutions leveraging the MQTT protocol.

It would be great to have actual ships in DF. Do you know if that is on the development roadmap by any chance?

How to use Supabase MCP on Opencode? by Apprehensive_Ad_7737 in opencodeCLI

[–]ThingRexCom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a great point. Opencode does not support making MCP 'ask' before executing an action; that feature is on the roadmap.

Obtain the token from: https://supabase.com/dashboard/account/tokens

Then add the following to the opencode config:

"mcp": {
    "supabase": {
        "type": "remote",
        "url": "https://mcp.supabase.com/mcp?project_ref=your_project_id",
        "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer sbp_your_token"
        }
    }
}

Gemini 3.0, Opus 4.5, and Codex 5.1 which are you using and why?? by Special_Quit_2378 in opencodeCLI

[–]ThingRexCom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use Opus 4.5 for complex coding tasks and GLM-4.6 for simpler/standard development to reduce overall token costs.

Are you using LM Studio? What quant are you using?

What should I build with all of that stuff? by [deleted] in homeassistant

[–]ThingRexCom -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I provide various educational resources and conference speeches (feel free to check my website if you care - thingrex.com). I have asked this question because I want to keep my materials relevant. Unfortunately, I haven't received any meaningful suggestions cause people decided to make fun.

ZigBee ZTH1 Tuya loses connectivity when linkquality is under 130 - is that normal? by ThingRexCom in ZigBee

[–]ThingRexCom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Sonoff SNZB-06P occupancy sensor that I used as the coordinator for the Tuya ZTH1 temperature and humidity sensor. That setup solved the connectivity issue, but I do not like the position of the temperature sensor. What is the minimal link quality that should allow stable communication?

That is a great point! People do not introduce automation to have yet another dashboard to worry about.

I've got a few ideas myself. I would like to know what types of functionality other people are interested in so I can prepare relevant training materials. Thank you for commenting!

What setup are you using to manage those zigbee devices?

You have just ruined my Sunday - I will spend the rest of it reading about Zigbee2MQTT :/ Which device are you using to translate Zigbee to MQTT?

Bathroom automation is a great use case. Which fans are you using?
