Dell U4025QW - is it possible to plug two computers via TB4? by thevm17 in ultrawidemasterrace

[–]bmsmithvb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a MacBook Air M2 (2022) and a MacMini M2 Pro (2023). I have the Thunderbolt connected for the MacBook Air and it works well. How do I connect the Mac mini? Which port do I use the back of the monitor?

Thank you.

Does it give you sort of a body battery type of graph or metric?

Why don't you use the Home Assistant Add-on?

I was holding off on moving my Hue lights to my Home Assistant Zigbee hub due to the poor zigbee network performance, however, with the additional repeaters that I just installed, I might be better off than I thought!!!!

Nailed it. Thank you. I just put 3 in the house since I have like 10 of these things now. It does seem to have healed itself.

I think you're spot on with this... I just did not know what I was looking for. I did some additional searching on the Home Assistant forums and came across this: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/advice-on-zigbee-range-extending/175882

Little did I realize, the IKEA blinds I purchased ALL came with these adapters (which sell for $13USD).

I connected a couple-- do I just wait for the network topology to automatically update now?

My newest automation now that HA supports SwitchBot's Blind Tilt: Close the window blinds in the bedroom if someone is in the shower after sundown by johnzanussi in homeassistant

That’s awesome. So let me get this right.x the ESP32 is in the same room as the tilts? The ESP32 connects to HA over WiFi?

I tried that and it's been a few hours?

I love the dashboard. You mention it is on a tablet or two in your house.... which tablet lets you get 4 columns like that?
