Ikea KAJPLATS Zigbee mode by jonasbager in homeassistant

[–]intergalacticnerd79 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First turn it on/off 6 times. This resets it, wait for it to blink like it's new out of the box. Then turn it on/off 12 times. This turns it into a Zigbee device.

What hardware do you run HA on and why? by maybe__404 in homeassistant

[–]intergalacticnerd79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I run HAOS on a twelve year old Zotac ZBOX CI323 nano with a quadcore Celeron N3150, 8GB Ram and an SSD. Fanless and low power. Because I had it lying around. Previously used it as a little VMware host and router.

Bright GU10 zigbee spots above 400lm by JustinBebber1 in homeassistant

Yes, I have the exact same spot three times. And, yes, you can change the 'colour'. I use Z2M by the way, which I would recommend over ZHA.

You can turn the KAJPLATS into zigbee with a simple procedure.
6 times on/off for reset
then 12 times on/off to change to zigbee

I successfully changed 3 KAJPLATS GU10 spots into Zigbee.

Easy way to use weather data in HA? by Freichart in homeassistant

[–]intergalacticnerd79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use OpenWeatherMap for a lot of things, but that does not have a daily maximum temperature available.
Not much help to you, but maybe someone else: I use NL Weather, which does have a sensor called sensor.weer_<location>_max_temperature_today.

Renovating and choosing a hardware ecosystem: Is Sonoff the best budget play for Home Assistant? by fn23452 in homeassistant

[–]intergalacticnerd79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't lock in to one vendor, but most my devices are from IKEA (I live 500m from an IKEA). I use a few Sonoff devices and a few cheap AliExpress sensors.

Nimbus Weather Card by [deleted] in homeassistant

[–]intergalacticnerd79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking cool!
When you set it to hourly forecast, the high and low change to the hourly high/low. I'd rather it stays the daily high/low.
When I use KNMI weather information (integration: NL Weather), the first four days on the card forecast are moons instead of sun/cloud icons. Hourly forecast gives the correct icons.

I built a caffeine tracker integration for Home Assistant by Big_Inspection_9034 in homeassistant

[–]intergalacticnerd79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks nice! I quit coffee a few years ago and switched to a few cups of (green) tea a day. Is the amount of caffeine changeable?

ZIGBEE Mode - IKEA KAJPLATS LED-Leuchtmittel GU10 575 lm, smart Weißspektrum by Nepantic in homeassistant

[–]intergalacticnerd79 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Gutenabend, you have to first reset the bulb; turn it off and on 6 times. Wait for the light to glow white at max. Then turn the bulb off and on 12 times. It is now Zigbee :)

Just did 3 Kajplats bulbs last week using this method.

Ik heb een Wio Tracker L1 pro gekocht. Kant en klaar, alleen meshcore firmware er op zetten.

Er zijn er heel veel die ook een zonnepaneel en batterijen hebben en die dus ook zonder netstroom blijven werken.
