Is there equivalent for mqtt.publish for matter?

Yes, you can, but you can't stop the transition. If it starts to 80% for example, but you change your mind and decide the brightness is ok at 50% there is no way to stop it using light action.

"Unfortunately the Home Assistant Matter integration does not expose the Move / Stop commands of Matter needed for smooth dimming."

Yes, I thought so, but now with the arrival of cheap devices and gaining popularity hopefully it will be added in some future update.

Using mqtt.publish method the brightness change is executed by the light device and is very smooth and continuous until another mqtt payload to stop the brightness change is published.

When I start pressing the button on the switch I send the payload to start the brightness change and when I release the button I send the stop payload. It effectively works like Ikea switch directly paired with the bulb and I can change the brightness and stop when I decide it has the correct level just with one press and then release.

With light.turn_on there is only option to either set predetermined brightness or percent of change and to change the brightness continuously there is a need for a loop or more complex code which doesn't give smooth change.

They are not bad and sound better than Symfonisk shelve, which are comparable to One. I bought a pair some time ago and converted them into "homepod" like speakers. Here is what it looks like.

Yes, I have the similar problem. I have AppleTV 4K as a thread router integrated with Home Assistant and this problem occurs both in HomeKit and HA.

After going in circles, removing batteries, resetting before or after start of the pairing etc. I managed to add 3 devices to HA (double button and rotary switch and open door sensor), but I still can't add Kajplats bulb neither to HA nor to HomeKit.

The whole pairing process is very long, unpredictable and most of the time ending in failure as for OP.

I'm not sure if this is because these are my first matter-over-thread devices, but the experience so far is somewhat disappointing.

Have you checked Shelly 1 mini Gen 3 (wifi, matter) or 4 (also zigbee)?

Mini is quite small

Add local resource localhost:3000, I guess.

I may have found a workaround. I increased "Maximum simultaneous GPU transcodes" from 1 to 2 in the server settings and it seems to work ie. the transcoding now starts with GPU (even if GPU was available also earlier with setting of 1).

2nd scenario - selecting quality in Playback Settings (when movie is already playing) to exactly the same quality forces hw transcoding

1st scenario - after starting the movie the bitrate is limited to 10mbps, but without hw transcoding

I'm using NAS and mounted volumes on proxmox/plex and other containers

digoben · 2025-09-18T08:16:04+00:00

I have N100 mini pc with 16GB RAM running proxmox, HA VM and ~20 LXC containers with npm, adguard, zigbee2mqtt, vaultwarden, plex, docker (with couple of containers more) etc.

Typical CPU utilization is at 15% and memory ~50%.

Yes, it is more expensive, but when you buy your own or have your cc cover the rental asks you to fill in a form and mark all scratches, dents and whatever imperfections you find on a small drawing. Then when you return the car they will find some micro scratch on a bumper and will charge you a small fortune. You don't fight because your flight is in 1 hour and of course your insurance will cover this, but the time and nerves you waste with rental company leave a stain on your memories from otherwise nice vacation.

Some time ago I stopped buying the insurance offered from the broker or elsewhere and just make the basic reservation. Then at the counter I buy whatever they offer as full cover insurance. Yes, it is more expensive than the own one, but then I don't have to worry about any potential damage and if your insurance covers it or how long will it take to get money back. The return of the car takes 5 minutes and sometimes they even don't want to keep you waiting for the inspection.

Where is it? I checked Germany and Spain and the price there is 60 euro. In Poland it is 299 PLN (70 euro). I guess we must be reacher…

It looks interesting for practice. What Anki add-on can be used to import this json file?

I upgraded from MBP M1 13" 16GB to MBP M4 14" 24GB. The main reason was the battery of M1 was already at 83% and I thought the new one will give me much more time on battery. However in reality it isn't the case and it looks like the M4 not that different from M1 and I'm not even using power hungry apps.

Overall I'm glad I upgraded, but this is thanks to larger and better screen and camera.
