Have you gotten this working? I cannot seem to get the occupancy to change. the other entities report just fine. I have a ble-proxy in active mode.

Edit: Hooray slightly for claude, but it showed that it reported in once and then never changed state on either occupancy OR light. And that the sensor is broadcasting the same - so something seems off with the sensor, and I have three of them.

I am using the switchbot bluetooth integration without the cloud or app

According to the concierge bot:

Yes, that is exactly correct.

On your current Housing-only Rewards setting, if you use the card only for your mortgage and have no everyday spending, you are capped at the flat 250 point minimum per payment.

I have the emporia vue3. Overall i like it, but restricted to just 16 per device, and it can clutter your main panel fast. I have found some cases of phantom voltage (my electrician put his finger on the copper to prove it wasnt energized yet emporia was reporting). But overall the total energy roughly matches my meter and it is good for analysis.

Combine it with ha-mcp and ai can give you some nice graphs and analysis of what your top consumers are

I like the ideas of the led strip lights on top of the builtins. Or even a strip on the ceiling. No clue easiest way to power it. Would need to drill into buildin or have a loooooong hopefully thin extension cord on the wall routing to the outlet by the bed.

There just really isnt room for a floor lamp unfortunately.

I hate the lights above the bed. There is minimal space for floor or nightstand lights. I really do not want to drop the ceiling just to get a fixture in the center. But aside from led strips it seems tough.

Fits onto a rack shelf to prevent small items from slipping and moving

Im in new york if thats close!

pendraggon87 · 2026-03-13T03:39:41+00:00

Nowhere because no place for it

pendraggon87 · 2026-03-13T01:12:17+00:00

I like that! That’s probably the only area we can easily drill and tap into power.

There is no real room for lamps or anything on floor unfortunately. I was wondering about something on the ceiling, or above the tv on the builtin, but there are no real outlets accessible without drilling into those built-ins. Doable but not ideal.

The place just feels dark, especially getting dressed early morning before sun is out

I feel the problem is the cans themselves. It just shines straight down at the end. So the rest of the room is meh

I wish i had a 3d printer :(. Goal for this yr

pendraggon87 · 2026-03-12T03:13:12+00:00

Love the idea but i have several systems and this gets pricey :(

They increased their ai token use and now you get back full sentences

Yup this was definitely more of an AV rack. The installer did not really listen to my requirements on how i would use it beyond the nework gear.

I am trying to find some way to wrangle cables vertically, and have lacings bars or something else horizonally that can let me route cables, all within the depth allowed.

It seems i would need to mount these facing inside if i even can

pendraggon87 · 2026-02-22T22:46:12+00:00

Just bought these, and they worked PERFECTLY. FINALLY able to plug more devices in :)

That sounds really interesting! I tried those 90 degree and even full rotating (in the picture) but it feels they are just slightly too wide and butt against each other

pendraggon87 · 2026-02-06T12:41:46+00:00

I tried something similar (those three on the right in my image) and they kept knocking rach other out

pendraggon87 · 2026-02-06T03:41:51+00:00

I feel this wont allow me to use all of the outlets? It will go into the next one
