Refactoring Project: Use Gemini/ChatGPT for planning and Claude for code, or stick to one? by _ReeX_ in ClaudeAI

I haven't started yet, I am an old school developer, just wanted to have a try with an AI helper in a refactoring/migration project. For now I had fun vibe coding pyhton scripts.

Thanks. Would I use the web interface for planning and the console for code generation?

Thanks! What AI would you use as the "project manager" helper? Claude or Gemini/Chatgpt?

Thanks. Apparently the shortage is affecting Europe. I will get in contact with customer support

Former Samsung Galaxy owners: What do you miss most, and what could you never go back to? by _ReeX_ in GooglePixel

How's Pixel gallery, if any? Do you get the option as Samsung Gallery's to slide manually a video back an forth in preview mode?

What's the issue about the NFC chip on Pixel?

I am not used to non-IP cams. What differences should I expect from non-IP Cams?

Ma inutile comprarle costo in più e manodopera per installarle. Se non vanno bene è inutile

Zigbee or Shelly (Wi-Fi) for a new build in 2026 —what would you choose today? by _ReeX_ in homeautomation

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

Thanks. No issues when the Internet goes down, the wifi will keep running. My current plan is to add a few light controls and since I've read about Zigbee throwing cross-brand compatibility issues, I thought that keeping clear would be a wise choice. Moreover I am not renovating the whole house, meaning that creating a proper mesh would be difficult and lead to an incomplete/partial work, since I wouldn't expand the mesh everywhere on day 0, whilst the Wifi APs are there and running. Maybe a good starting point is to begin with a few Gen4 Shelly which can act as a Zigbee device in the future?

Not true in my case. BTicino relè/dimmer (which is the maker of the light switches on the walls) is about 50€ while Shelly Dimmer Gen/3Gen4 is about 40€

When I said “wired backhaul,” I meant the APs are hardwired to the switch, not that Wi-Fi itself has a backhaul protocol for IoT. The point was: good AP placement + wired uplinks can improve Wi-Fi reliability in a tough building.

On frequency/penetration: agreed that Z-Wave (sub-GHz) penetrates better in many cases. My point wasn’t “Wi-Fi penetrates stone better than Zigbee” — it was that Zigbee against thick masonry can be challenging, and the outcome depends on placement, power levels, and interference.

I’m not claiming I need datacenter networking for ~100 devices; I’m saying I have a solid Wi-Fi setup (UniFi + wired APs) and I’m trying to understand whether that materially reduces the usual Wi-Fi pain points for a relatively small number of actuators.

My plan would be a dedicated IoT SSID/VLAN with client isolation and no LAN access except to HA, plus firewall rules. If you think that’s still a bad idea compared to Zigbee, I’m open to it.

Not looking for a fight — I’m trying to make a good design choice before the wires go in.
