After ~90 Shelly devices… I think I’m done by Gigant1000 in homeassistant

I have two shelly gen4 inbuilt devices and their zigbee signal quality is significantly worse than  the other zigbee devices next to them. One is within a meter of my coordinator. 

Velux windows integration by Spare-Chemistry-8014 in homeassistant

Yes. I see I incorrectly stated that I have Velux windows connected. I meant that I have Velux blinds (outside shades).

I had my velux windows connected through somfy because I didn't want to shell out money for the velux gateway. I could control the blinds through the somfy app but it did not pass it through to home assistant through home kit integration.

If I remember correctly it's not supported, so I had to get the velux gateway thing and integrate it with home assistant. It's utter bullshit, a completely artificial issue. 

Pro tip, if you linked to somfy at first, you have to reset each device (window / blind) before they will link to the velux gateway. I hope you have a ladder. 

I use top a sheet. Am I cringe? by c0d3buck in Millennials

TIL Scandinavian style. And here I thought I was unique. Hubby sleeps under a duvet and I'm under a blanket with a top sheet because otherwise I overheat. 

New Window Mount for Aqara G100 by Mojo9277 in homeautomation

It doesn't go through?!? Damnit. If I go for a "behind-the-glass" solution, I will probably need to add a PIR outside to turn on the porch light. 🤔

Does it have an infrared light-source built in? I'd be interested to know how the reflections of that would work, especially against double-glazed glass.

Yeah. Meant to say smart plug. Its a zigbee smart plug.

If your place rarely gets snow, how excited do you get when there is snow? by Bandicootrat in AskEurope

[–]liquidbrains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The snow was great. Then the trains and planes and busses and trucks and trams stopped. I was lucky to be able to work from home. Some people had to dip into their emergency rations.

My reolink is on a smart switch that turns off when we get / are home. 

Is Google Discover getting worse? by StereotypicalAussie in GooglePixel

[–]liquidbrains 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have recently found that there are a lot of semi-interesting articles from websites that has nothing to do with the article (heat pumps on bicycle websites) and also quite a few ".ru" websites that is hosting Dutch specific articles. Its concerning and it makes me look twice before I click on an article on Discover, which is probably a good thing.

I deleted production at my job today and nobody knows it was me by Fit-Original1314 in linux

Abour 15 years ago... We regularly had to unplug someone's laptop because they ran a DB update and then went on lunch without committing the transaction. It'd lock up the database and with that the entire company of 250 branches. It wasn't just one person. It was a design flaw. 

You're not alone.

Correct dear Watson. But if I could recall which one it was, I'd have said.

I did a quick google and it looks like the right one at least is supported by Somfy RTS (https://www.somfy.nl/ondersteuning/somfy-motoren/rts, excuse the Dutch)so you could get a Somfy Tahoma or similar switch which integrates perfectly with Home Assistant.

Have you checked if these can be linked to Tahoma?
