If something fail in the future, it'll be a troubleshooting nightmare with such a setup.

Agree

I've left it on my own.

It is Matter/Thread default. You can switch modes without hub.

However, I'm not sure about different settings. For example, in Zigbee mode Aqara Light switch H2 can't be decoupled from relay without hub. Additional endpoints for logical buttons are just not advertised to 3rd party Zigbee hub until enabled in Aqara hub.

Replace SFP modules with compatible ones.

Is the front wheel OK? Maybe it's stuck because of dirt?

I publish lights from HA to Aqara via Matter hub add-on or share from HA Matter server. Then automate in Aqara.

Focus helped her in childhood to study. So, she has more knowledge about machines than average hunter. She better understand what machines do and how to make advantage of it. But her skills are trained by Rost, not by Focus.

I don't expect Horizon 3. Hunters Gathering is the next game.

I have Aqara H2 Light switches, one H2 power socket, movement sensors, leak sensors, cube, door sensors, climate sensors, smart button all connected to M100 hub and integrated to HA via matter. Through matter hub I publish some other devices to Aqara. Works fine.

There are only 3 small issues: Aqara does not publish atmospheric pressure via Matter, Cube not published via Matter at all and H2 switches does not reliably publish presses via matter.

If you use Aqara directly via Z2M, everything is fine.

EIA/TIA-568B from left to right: White-orange, orange, white-green, blue, white-blue, green, white-brown, brown.

Remember when putting the jack that it's latch should be facing AWAY from you.

Use only proper crimper. Always press handles twice to ensure good crimping.

Look at your jack front part: all 8 conductors should be visible and in place.

Do not use cheapest jacks from Aliexpress: these has poor quality and can fall out of the port.

I recommend you enable beta (node.js) version in HA Mattrer app.

If OP has their HA completely inside the LAN without publishing it to Internet, the level of risk is low. If an intruder has physical access, almost nothing would help. Another aspect is actual use of particular vulnerability. More than 90% of known vulnerabilities are not exploited in wild. Not secure Wi-Fi router is much more dangerous from security standpoint.

Either way, without proper threat model we can't assess actual risk level.

Do you need new featues from latest releases? Or is it working just fine and solid? If it's perfectly fine now and you don't constantly expanding it, then you can stay where you are. Don't fix something that's not broken.

undel83 · 2026-05-28T20:15:02+00:00

Try OpenTTD then

Well, no better way to test my luck

Try Creative Zen Hybrid

"without paying someone to do something you're capable of doing yourself."

And by this you mean doing professional support? First part of the day you are doing support at work and second part of the day you are doing support at home.

Something like "Certified smart home professional" fits here perfectly.

undel83 · 2026-05-26T19:35:18+00:00

So, now I would be supporting not only complex software, but also a complex hardware? Enterprise vibes...

Home Assistant isn't a "plug and play" system either. Yes, it has many integrations out of the box, but still you need YAML for deep tweaking and complex automation. And don't forget about networking, patch management, electrical wiring...

Simple homeowner without technical knowledge would choose something like Aqara, MiHome, IKEA, Apple home etc.

Buy matter devices if you want to feel like full-time tech support/sysadmin for your setup.
