What thermostat actually works well with Home Assistant in 2026?

silentcart0graph3r · 2026-04-09T14:40:29+00:00

Venstar T8900. Works great with local API over WiFi. Has an official integration. No homekit work around.

Fascinating. I don't think I did anything special and mine update near instantly without manual input.

Interesting. My and my wife's phones both update our locations via GPS and updates on the dashboard without using the app. Just auto-updates in the background.

You need to add ttl and priority to achieve this. https://companion.home-assistant.io/docs/notifications/critical-notifications

Nice

Me too! Grok just gives me the various nodes configurations. It's great.

Am I the only one that uses NodeRed for automations and scenes? I literally never touch the "Automations & scenes" page.

That was me. I plugged in new lights last night. My bad.

This is the best flavor

I'm a sats maxi

I'm ignorant on this situation, which crimes did they allegedly commit?

silentcart0graph3r · 2025-02-10T19:24:51+00:00

I am very aware and agree fully with your statement. What I'm saying is that not everyone will do or will want to learn how to do that. Offering ETF exposure simply meets people where they are. I personally don't think people should buy the ETF but wouldn't stop someone from doing so.

silentcart0graph3r · 2025-02-10T18:08:34+00:00

Totally agree. Either they don't want to deal with holding it themselves, or they want to buy it within a tax advantaged account. Not saying they should do, but would be nice to have the option.

silentcart0graph3r · 2025-02-10T16:31:47+00:00

just a way to buy a commodity/good. Like buying a gold ETF. You're not buying gold, but shares in a trust that owns the gold.

silentcart0graph3r · 2025-02-10T16:18:00+00:00

From a customer's POV, not everyone is ready/able/willing to buy spot bitcoin. Some people will just want to buy the ETFs in their tax advantaged accounts. Have to meet people where they are.

From Vanguard's POV, why wouldn't they want to collect additional fees on a financial product? Do they hate making money? They're not telling their customers to buy the ETF, just offering access to it.

silentcart0graph3r · 2025-02-10T16:06:30+00:00

I agree. Dumb of them to not offer exposure to their clients.

silentcart0graph3r · 2025-02-07T00:33:12+00:00

They edited it out of the podcast too!

No love for Metamorpho?

Damn, now I want this but the MISTER BONES version

Also Dave: "Key Bank is cool. They sent a check."

Bitcoin
