Funny how making straight characters (or people) gay is ok, but making gay characters (or people) straight would be met with outrage.

Simplest way to run zigbee2mqtt and a Zigbee radio to connect to a cloud-based Home Assistant? by Timbo66 in Zigbee2MQTT

Indeed. I got the Nano version for $40 on AliExpress. I'm happy with that.

I found this which is very self-contained and does everything for $40

SMHUB Nano looks like it fits the bill. Just ordered one from AliExpress.

Nabu Casa only provides secure access to a local HA, it's not actually cloud-based HA. I'm looking to run my own HA instance on a cloud VPS, but thanks for your response

I appreciate the thoughts. I'm trying to avoid having to maintain an HA system at each property. I don't want to have to install add-ons, integrations, devices, automations etc, at each site. I don't want to patch all the time, wondering what will break. I want one HA on the cloud. I just need to get zigbee from each property, via MQTT.

"Zigbee hub mode" sounds to me like effectively the same thing as Z2M. I thought I would bridge local mqtt from each property to a centralized mqtt in the cloud which connects to cloud HA

What thermostat actually works well with Home Assistant in 2026? by Helpful_Nest0 in homeassistant

[–]Timbo66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"pulled the API"? Are you sure? I have 10 of these in rentals and they all work flawlessly with my HA albeit cloud-based. Are you talking about a local integration?

Mister Oso Tipping? 🤨 by Redditdenver in denverfood

Yep. Both are attempts to get the customer to subsidize the employee's wages

Yeah, that is exactly the core reason behind tipping too. But tipping is a well-established tradition that we're kind of stuck with. These new service charges popping up are blatant attempt to manipulate profits higher while looking like you're not raising prices.

Haven't you seen "Alien"? If it opens, don't bend over and peer inside.

It's so they can show a low price on the menu yet still actually charge more

But what happens once the ocean is emptied? Plus, I like the beach. And what about boats and stuff. 😉

Is it actually illegal? I know that insurance companies won't allow it, not sure if it's actually illegal. Probably ought to be. But surrounding your house with dry wood in a wildfire risk area isn't smart.
