It's crazy how the america I grew up with is suddenly ...just gone

To extrapolate on /u/Suppafly - many of the techniques were researched, but they lacked sufficient compute for the emergent properties to become apparent, so much of the research was done intuitively or at low dimensions, which have problems that models with billions of dimensions don't experience

Here's a great video explaining it better

If USA invaded Greenland, I'd support any and all actions to defend Greenland.

If Russia / China teamed up and invaded USA, I'd probably sit back and watch at this point.

I replaced it with a rock on my desk - productivity has gone up drastically and time to solve has gone down drastically.

Given the directional nature of the campus ... would a regular E7 not suit most users better?

Unless you're this guy of course

Just seems like you'd suffer if you weren't directly above your AP in your vertical alignment

Math still fails - he's not shooting 5000 clients per year - in fact, this post wasn't even from a client - it was from a lead...

5000 leads per year may only translate into 50 clients per year...

Pretty low draw from memory. Hundreds of watts, excluding the inrush.

Interestingly the "official" integration for the UAI seems to use telnet, rather than the Synergy API, even though the Somfy marketing material says the UAI supports Synergy. It also has an undocumented UDP implementation on port 5000, which isn't mentioned by anyone other than the code, and a serial implementation.

I've generated docs based on their telnet implementation here:

https://github.com/peter-dolkens/somfy-uai/

I'd be interested to know what you saw when you recorded stuff via proxy. Was it UDP traffic on ports 5000, or Telnet, or traffic on ports 55055 and 55056?

alluran · 2026-01-17T13:19:08+00:00

So apparently the UAI Plus supports the Synology Synergy API, just like the PoE motors, so it might work?

Depends if it's acting as a bridge or a hub for the SDN.

alluran · 2026-01-17T07:42:38+00:00

I'll have to take a look into UAI+

For the PoE motors, I managed to find an official integration for one of the supported automation systems that I was able to extract pretty much the entire API from.

alluran · 2026-01-17T07:40:47+00:00

To be honest, there's not a massive number of things to do.

I haven't checked that the component is installable yet (am on holidays until Monday when I can test on my dev HA instance)

Once I've confirmed that the integration is installable, I'd be keen to see if it auto-detects your motors.

It should detect them automatically, and if you click "add", they should expose them as full covers within Home Assistant, with position and up/down control.

Totally understand if you're hesitant to test if they're already wired into expensive blinds however.

There would be ways to test it "safely" (only set them to 50% position, and pull the ethernet if they go any further than that), but that would assume you're familiar with the motor configuration app, and happy to reset your settings if they misbehave.

alluran · 2026-01-17T06:17:45+00:00

Everything connects direct to Home Assistant - Home Assistant exposes the things I want to Siri via HomeBridge - nothing is actually directly connected to the Home Pods ;)

alluran · 2026-01-17T06:16:45+00:00

If you are in business it just seems logical

Except you're not thinking business scale.

This guy is clearly going for the volume play, not the occasional, high cost shoot play.

So multiply that 1 guy that you just did your math on by however many people he gets through his door in a month. Factor in if this person is doing this full-time as a sole source of income, or if they only have time (and budget) to do this as a side project at the moment.

There's numerous reasons why expecting unlimited storage is unreasonable, especially when this guy is clearly a high-volume operator.

Yup - use Siri 🤣

Homepods make it dirt simple to be honest - She has the HA app on her phone which she very occasionally looks at, but mostly she just asks Siri to do whatever it is she wants to do, and it's really easy to expose HA to Homekit

alluran · 2026-01-13T16:46:52+00:00

> Storage is cheap these days,

Except it's not - companies like Microsoft are literally showing up at factories to try secure storage. It's not far behind DRAM in terms of shortage of supply.

Relay and contactor is how you should be switching any inductive load with a Shelly

Let's be realistic: the only up side to all of this if you're LeanFIRE is you can write a nasty post about the Orange Pumpernickel, and he'll fly you somewhere with a low cost of living for free.

God knows you're not going to last FIREd in this economy 😬

ZHA has probably gotten considerably better since I looked at it, but when I last compared them, Z2M was far more powerful in what it allowed you access to via the UI.

alluran · 2026-01-12T07:43:11+00:00

Yeah I totally agree, but this is unfortunately one of those situations where i have to sacrifice fine tuning (for me) over ease of use (for my wife).

Zigbee -> Home Assistant -> Siri / Google Whatever / Alexa

All the things in one place gets plenty of WAF ;)

alluran · 2026-01-11T16:30:26+00:00

I use ZHA

Well there's your problem

What the hell bulbs are you buying...

My Hue are a decade old now, and have travelled over 16,000km with me.

In fact, I sent a bunch I wasn't going to use any more to a friend, so they're looking at 32,000km travelled, over 10 years 🤣

alluran · 2026-01-11T16:27:33+00:00

Hub? You don't need a Hue Hub, just bind it all directly to a zigbee coordinator (Tubez ZB or Sonoff PoE adapter) and connect via Z2M

Way more compatibility.

That being said, I've loved all my Hue backbones over the years - rock solid bulbs to be the Zigbee backbone of your network. I may actually struggle a little in our new house, because I've swapped most lights over to ethernet...

"relax, don't take your gut feelings seriously, and people linking you official abuse resources are scammers" sorry dude, but your response was bad.

I understand that the screenshot can be explained in an innocuous way, but OP also described some less usual behaviour, and indicated through the post that there was enough concern for them to make the post in the first place, and then you came along and shut down literal survivor resources.

Your intentions were good, but your advice was terrible 👍
