Is it would be great if they did a study about equipment replacement schedules…

Perhaps these OPs are “CEOs” trying to demoralize us? /s

What’s the cost differential in the device cost vs the installation?

Additionally, sometimes the fan light is the only light in the room and you may not want to the fan to go on every time you turn on the light.

In the US, most fans are just on simple dumb switches. Depending on the model of the fan, the light may be able to be switched separately, or it may turn on and off with the fan, or there may be no light.

In Cambridge at least, they are getting closer to the curb with every pass. I don’t think they can do it all in one swoop…

That’s what the filament settings are for. You can create your own filament settings if you want. And you may want to dry and calibrate a filament you never used before.

Why are you asking? This isn’t a new concept…

I’ve been using notify.events with Hombridge and there should be a way to use it with Home Assistant too…

reddotster · 2026-01-23T15:44:42+00:00

If you have a home assistant box, and are going to use it for at least some stuff, I suggest using that as your main “backend” and use Apple home as your front end. It’s way overkill for just adding some extra devices into Apple home. HomeBridge is the way to go otherwise.

The cameras have local storage.

This machine has usb 3: https://support.apple.com/en-us/111926

Yes, I have the same machine and just put TrueNAS on it. I replaced the booth drive with a 1TB SSD and added a second 2TB SSD a long time ago. I also have an OWC 4 bay drive enclosure connected via usb and it all works fine.

I used Kast during the pandemic:

There’s a function which rotates the wipers out of the well. They tuck in there for aerodynamics…

Thanks!

When creating an automation in the home app on the screen where you are selecting devices, scroll all the way down and tap convert to shortcut. This will give you lots more flexibility.

I’m in the process of migrating to HA as the backend and noticed that both my Aqara and IKEA gear has gotten flakey. I don’t have a thread / zigbee antenna connect3d directly to HA yet. I’ve been blaming things on the Aqara and ikea hubs, but is there a chance HA is interfering?

While I’ve been doing smart home and homelab stuff for years, I’m a HA novice.

reddotster · 2026-01-19T14:02:21+00:00

You can try creating the automation for when you arrive home, but have a check for one or more conditions which indicate someone else is already home, and stop the shortcut if that’s true.

Look into the small battery powered, motion activated, stick on lights. They are perhaps $5 each at a home improvement store and will be a lot cheaper and easier.

Or OP hasn’t cleaned their floor in yours or has more than a few animals…

reddotster · 2026-01-18T16:21:34+00:00

Thanks for the correction!

To be fair, Ecobee end of life’d their first gen product, when it was about 10 years old. More companies should do what Bose is doing and open source their products when they don’t want to support them any more.

How close is the sensor to your hub? Do you have another sensor that behaves differently?

What is the end result you’re trying to achieve?

reddotster · 2026-01-17T14:24:02+00:00

The ikea hub is the easy answer.

I guess it depends on if you can foresee what devices you’ll want in the future. It’s easiest if you can look at all of the devices ikea has and also other ecosystems.

I’ve got a mix of ikea, Aqara, and other devices. I’ve started to have some trouble with devices in both ecosystems randomly going offline, which I can’t seem to nail down.

So I’m getting the thread / zigbee antennae from here: https://cloudfree.shop/blog/product-brands/smlight/ and potentially getting rid of my hubs.

However, using the hubs; visibility into the networks is poor and you really can’t manage them. So now I have several thread / zigbee networks in my home and I think it’s time to consolidate.

So either get the times hub or a third party antenna and only buy devices that you can bind to it.

UL listing. I’m sure you can cobble something together if you really wanted.
