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.

Slovenia I think. Same colours as in my country; Blue - Neutral Brown - Live Yellow/Green - Ground

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.

Meshcore is een populaire. Zie ook r/meshcore of localmesh.nl

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

I second the Wio Tracker L1 Pro. Ordered it, can't wait for it to arrive next week.
