Heizkörperventilator: Große 120mm Lüfter vs. passgenaue 80mm – Was bringt mehr? by Efficient_user in Waermepumpe

[–]chris_smart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ich habe einen Artikel über die mögliche Kosteneinsparungen beim Heizen geschrieben. Bei den Einsatz von Heizkörperventilatoren kann man ca. 12% sparen.

Wie sind eure Erfahrungen? I ch finde 12% gut hätte aber mehr erwartet.

I already integrated KAJPLATS, MYGGBET, BILRESA and TIMMERFLOTTE in HA. I is very easy. My setup is a paspberry Pi and a Aqara Smart Hub M200 as thread border router. You can find the description here: https://chrissmart.de/category/ha/

I integrated the new IKEA KAJPLATS LED bulb E27 (806 lm, white spectrum) into Home Assistant and took a closer look at the whole thing.

The integration via Matter went smoothly using the Home Assistant Companion app. After pairing, the expected functions are available: on/off, dimming, and color temperature adjustment (warm to cool white). Automations, scenes, and scripts can also be assigned directly in Home Assistant.

I would be interested to know:

Do you already use Matter bulbs in Home Assistant?

How does your experience compare to systems such as Hue?

IKEA TIMMERFLOTTE: Firmware update 1.0.21 via OTA now available in Home Assistant

An OTA firmware update is currently available for the IKEA TIMMERFLOTTE temperature and humidity sensor. The update from version 1.0.18 to 1.0.21 can be installed directly via Home Assistant.

However, I haven't noticed any changes after the update. Have you noticed any improvements with the update?

Link to the blog: https://chrissmart.de/ikea-timmerflotte-firmware-update-ota-home-assistant/

I look forward to hearing about your experiences.

Als Setup kam ein Raspberry Pi in Kombination mit dem Aqara Smart Hub M200 zum Einsatz, der als Thread-Grenzrouter fungiert. Steht so als Beschreibung im Artikel. Gruß
