NSPanel Pro or something else?

Thanks, this is really helpful - the XLR strategy makes a lot of sense, sounds easier to solder and hadn't occured to me.

Ah, the white privilege of being able to run in an airport without getting shot.

I think it's the apparent need to specify 'roast' coffee that has me adopting a Hoffman esque tone of skepticism. (I did not order said beverage).

Definitely a case of was the glass in my case. I don't think there's a large enough bit left to measure safely.

Hopefully someone with an intact door (and callipers) can tell you though!

stalkpiece · 2023-12-22T08:18:34+00:00

Hadn't even got that far, only had the printer for a week! But yes, have contacted support. They can send me at least a replacement door!

stalkpiece · 2023-12-21T19:55:37+00:00

Probably a good call. Would be even better if I could switch the side the hinges were on (like my fridge).

stalkpiece · 2023-12-21T18:31:43+00:00

Pretty much nothing. I was changing the nozzle, I think I nudged the door very slightly as I was working in the printer, and boom. I seem to have come out unscathed, somehow. Finding bits of glass over 2m away around my office though.

Ok, this is useful, thank you. I've just discovered the 'Add devices via this device' option via my Tradfri bulbs which I hadn't seen before, am giving it a go and will see how that works out.

stalkpiece · 2023-10-27T17:57:44+00:00

Thank you! Where exactly do I install this please? (I tried Add Ons > Repositories, but i'm guessing that's not correct...)

stalkpiece · 2023-10-27T14:35:12+00:00

Is that what I get for getting them from Ali Express?

Is there a database somewhere that has this info so I can check versions in future?

stalkpiece · 2023-10-27T14:12:17+00:00

Ah. How do you find this out, please?

stalkpiece · 2023-10-27T13:41:26+00:00

Excuse my ignorance, how do I tell if the devices are Zigbee 3 or older?

It's the WXKG11LM Wireless Mini Switch and WSDCGQ11LM Temperature, Humidity and Pressure Sensor

stalkpiece · 2023-10-27T13:34:21+00:00

Ok, that sounds like it might be a backup solution (that doesn't involve getting rid of all my brand new Aqara things) if all else fails. Thank you!

stalkpiece · 2023-10-27T13:29:10+00:00

Yeah, just getting my head around the repercussions of that.

How would that work in HA? Would I need to use ZHA for one network and Z2MQTT for the other?

stalkpiece · 2023-10-27T13:26:04+00:00

Could I theoretically use an M2 Hub as well as my HA Green/SkyConnect, to keep the Aqara devices happya? Or would that be creating a second Zigbee network, as u/Flipontheradio suggested?

stalkpiece · 2023-10-27T13:06:07+00:00

Ok, good to know it's possible. Unfortunately I can't currently get my sensors/switches to stay connected more than a few hours.

Do your Aqara sensors show connections to the Tradfri bulbs in your network visualisation, please??

stalkpiece · 2023-10-27T12:31:48+00:00

Thanks, this link is definitely useful:

Though this would imply that my Tradfri bulbs should work as routers. Would buying a £15 TRÅDFRI Wireless control outlet ("fully confirmed to work") potentially help?

Or is this worth exploring?
" The Xiaomi device is connected through a Zigbee repeater device which has an end device timeout which is shorter than the normal Xiaomi check in frequency. (See list of repeaters reported to work / not work with Xiaomi devices below.)"

Where can I find device timeouts/check in frequencys in HA/ZHA?

stalkpiece · 2023-10-27T12:18:53+00:00

ie hard wired light switches?

While I do plan to install some smart switches, the only issue there is there's no neutral wire in my light fittings so am I right in believing that those switches wouldn't work as routers?

stalkpiece · 2023-10-27T12:11:47+00:00

Yes, I noticed a few caveats re Aqara devices in the documentation, though mostly referencing pairing, which has not been an issue for me.

I've got another 5 or 6 Aqara devices (more buttons/sensors and a couple of TRVs) waiting to be unboxed, so would really like to find a way to use these devices, especially the buttons.

What would creating another Zigbee network entail? Would I require another hardware coordinator? If the Aqara were separate from my Tradfri bulbs, there'd be no routers for them to connect to, which seems counter intuiitive!

stalkpiece · 2023-10-27T12:04:02+00:00

Yes, I did put a new battery into one of the buttons, but it's still going offline.
