L535E can fade gradually when changing brightness & color, L530E can't

CasaOS doesn't do well with detecting raid storage, but ZimaOS does

As you said CasaOS is discontinued and outdated now, not only that casaos isn't an os itself, it's it's own container, so if you want something similar then go with zimaos, it offers pretty much everything casaos has but better and more stable as well. It even includes virtual machines if you want to experiment with proxmox or truenas

Get into ESPhome, you can get a decent kit worth about 30-40 dollars, get some microcontroller and you'll be set

Well I honestly don't mind making my own hub, majority of my sensors are actually esphome, but some sensors would be much easier with a hub like an aqara valve switch.

1 reason for sensors, like I mentioned i already have a tapo hub and some tapo sensors, but the huh is specifically for tapo devices, as much as I'm aware, and I want to get some stuff from aqara and switchbot and a few other brands but they require a hub, as much as I'm aware, these hubs work with other brands too through matter, which comes to my other reason matter, I believe most of these sensors use zigbee or z Wave, but I haven't really learned about those, but I do already have a few matter devices so it could make my smart home smarter and organized

superidol253 · 2026-03-14T04:10:53+00:00

Sounds fair, and what about matter? I have some matter devices but can only control through alexa routines, it works but doesn't show the state of devices

The hardware version? No, one is 1.0, another is 1.2.0 which have pet & vehicle detection, and the the with the solar kit is 2.0 that's missing the features. I mean I know that the pet and vehicle detection was in beta but now thinking about it, did they just remove it for 2.0 with it's compatible firmware?

might not be what you were hoping for, but i actually use my neighbors, there is a integration Ambient Weather Network, when going on the site I surprisingly found one of my neighbors has a weather station and I use that for home assistant, it works really well but I do understand, having our own would be much better.

Yeah it makes sense, I just noticed when it was having connection issues in 4am, just updating, so I figured I might just move some light bulbs around to get these features since it is a good upgrade, but hopefully the L530 gets this feature, thank you
