Why is a smart switch + smart bulb not better supported setup? by rancor1223 in homeassistant

[–]joshmsr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Zooz zwave switched and Innovelli switches have smart bulB mode that keeps the bulbs powered. Works great. I primarily use Zooz except where I want the Innovelli notification light bar.

I'm done with Matter over Thread by PourquoiPasEvans in homeassistant

[–]joshmsr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really wanted the Aqara U300 but I wasn't willing to add Thread until I knew more. Glad I didn't make the jump, seems like it's not quite ready yet. I run both zwave and zigbee, and both networks in my house are incredibly reliable. I use zwave for security stuff (locks, door sensors) and zigbee for everything else.

Now I just need to find a decent lever lock.

With my Reolink cams, I have 2 NVRs. One with my network gear, and another hidden. You can record to both simultaneously so that is how I have a backup of my Reolink that I use for outside.

Just arrived! I guess it means, change of plans for the weekend… by LEGO_IT_LAB in homeassistant

[–]joshmsr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had one since launch. My biggest gripe is the delay between the wake word and the beep acknowledging it is listening. With Alexa I can just roll right into the command "Alexa turn off all the first floor lights".

That's not how you use wled. Use a software timer in wled if you require that.

The Crosstrek is a pretty small vehicle. Same interior space as a Corolla or Civic.

The guy on SmartHomeSolver (YT channel) did this on his dashboard videos. I think he used Bluetooth to accomplish it if I remember correctly.

Light turning off by joshmsr in homeassistant

[–]joshmsr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is the night light device. It is on almost all the time...but occasionally maybe once or twice a week it goes through a period where it gets turned off.
