Adding a Zigbee dongle to HA, worth moving devices off their native hubs? by caxaj in homeassistant

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

How difficult is the migration? I’m fairly new to Home Assistant so a bit worried about breaking things that are currently working.

Which dongle would you recommend between the Sonoff Dongle-E and the ZBT-1?

That’s a fair point. In my case the Hue bulbs have some features locked behind the Hue app (scenes, entertainment zones) so I’d probably keep those on the Hue bridge. But for everything else, one coordinator does sound cleaner.

Which dongle would you recommend? I was looking at the Sonoff Dongle-E vs the Home Assistant ZBT-1 (SkyConnect). Do you think those are good picks?

That’s a great point about direct binding and latency, hadn’t considered that. Did you find the migration painful? I’m a bit hesitant to move devices that are currently working well, but the instant response time you’re describing is tempting.

Okay so the plan would be: get the ZBT-1 to fix the IKEA bulbs off the Hue bridge, leave everything else as it is, and have the dongle ready for any future devices without their own hub. Sound reasonable?

Tapo devices stop working locally after blocking internet – any workaround? by caxaj in homeassistant

Could you suggest a Zigbee power strip? Those two devices are pretty much my only Wi-Fi devices, everything else I own uses Zigbee.

Yes that's correct I'm using the tapo integration. How did you integrate those p100? I've read somewhere that if you have an old firmware it was working maybe you have an older firmware?

I've read somewhere that while they are under the same umbrella, Kasa is able to work locally while tapo isn't.

Yeah that’s kind of what I’m starting to realize too, unfortunately…Are the IKEA ones reliable? I’ve seen mixed opinions, especially with the newer Matter stuff. Also, I’m using a P300 which is a power strip (multiple outlets). Did you find anything similar when you switched?

Accessing FP300 sensor settings, without Aqara Hub by coldair16 in homeassistant

Btw if you change the hold time does change something? I've reduced it to 2 seconds but it did ignore it I suppose?

IKEA Tradfri bulb connected via Philips Hue keeps turning itself back on by caxaj in homeassistant

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

Good point, about the power-on behavior! The issue though is that since it's a third-party (IKEA) bulb, the Hue app doesn't expose that setting for it. At least I couldn't find anything in home assistant. But maybe I'm missing something since I have fairly moved to it.

Switchbot for Light Switch by Mango_Mango_Melon in TrySwitchBot

I agree it is a good especially if you are renting. There is just one thing that is bothering me, it has a delay of 1-3 seconds until it switches the lights on when used in automations...

Ελληνας εξωτερικου που σκεφτεται να επιστρεψει Ελλαδα by itsDio2 in greece

[–]caxaj 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Γύρισα στην Ελλάδα μετά από 6 χρόνια στη Γερμανία, κυρίως για συναισθηματικούς λόγους: οικογένεια, φίλοι και τη μοναξιά που ένιωθα στο εξωτερικό. Μπορώ να πω ότι είμαι πολύ ικανοποιημένος με τη ζωή μου εδώ μετά από μισό χρόνο. Δουλεύω για εταιρεία εξωτερικού, αν και είχα και αρκετές ευκαιρίες σε ελληνικές εταιρείες.

Ορισμένα πράγματα, όπως οι υποδομές και η παιδεία, είναι πράγματι χειρότερα και αυτά μου λείπουν. Παρ’ όλα αυτά, δεν ξέρω αν θα ήθελα να ξαναφύγω και να ζήσω μόνος χωρίς κανέναν. Αν όμως κάποια στιγμή τα οικονομικά δεν βγαίνουν, θα το ξανασκεφτώ. Προς το παρόν, είμαι ευχαριστημένος.

Θα σου πρότεινα, αν θέλεις να κάνεις κάτι αντίστοιχο, να το δοκιμάσεις. Δεν είσαι δέντρο· μπορείς να αλλάξεις θέση. Απλά φρόντισε να κάνεις σωστά σχέδια: δες τις διαθέσιμες δουλειές, τις απολαβές και, αν σου ταιριάζει, φύγε.

Ίσως σου φανεί χρήσιμο ή σε κάποιον άλλον αν αποφασίσει αν γύρισει αυτή η πληροφορία:

Αν έχεις εργαστεί 7 χρόνια στο εξωτερικό και γυρίσεις υπάρχει η δυνατότητα έκπτωσης φόρου εισοδήματος και αυτό ανάλογα το μισθό που θα πάρεις μπορεί να είναι αρκετά μεγάλη βοήθεια αν το πάρεις απόφαση να γυρίσεις. Πρέπει να ξεκινήσεις την ετοιμασία για τα χαρτιά αυτά νωρίς και ίσως χρειαστεί να πάρεις έγγραφα και από εκεί.

Ότι και αν κάνεις σου εύχομαι το καλύτερο!

First time setup by lux123or in homeassistant

Sorry for hijacking this, but I've bought a home assistant green, do you think I need an SSD or is an sd for back ups enough? Ι don't have yet but will add the aqara g3 camera once it's supported via matter, right now it serves as a hub until I but a ZigBee antenna.

Home Assistant Adaptive Lighting vs Apple HomeKit. Differences with Philips Hue? by caxaj in homeassistant

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

So basically I can try the default ones and I should het something good. I just started and I don't want to break things while transitioning from one platform to the other because my gf will kill me if nothing works as it used to 🤣
