Today I found out my #SmartHome thermostat hasn't been working because of an ISP outage in the area. While I am all for #NetNeutrality, this one takes the cake for me; how can people be expected to have functioning smart houses if they keep prioritising internet leeches (such as "self-hosters") over actual customers, overloading their networks?
I'm on the phone with my provider right now, the waiting times might take a while, but this is something that's gotta be said.
So Roombas suck and cannot navigate my house because they use cameras not LIDAR (did Elon Musk design this shit?)
So what is the best Robot Vacuum that like, actually works? I have cheapo iHomes and honestly the iHome AutoVac Nova Pro is acceptable. The older one can't navigate well and forgets the map often though
For instance, if you get a notification when the washing machine is done, clear it when someone opens the machine door. This avoids unnecessary noise for other Homers!
Is there any way to change the easing of a #HomeAssistant transition?
I would like to fade out the kitchen lights but if it's longer than 3 seconds it looks for at least one second that nothing happened. I would like to go pretty fast to about 50% and the remaining time can go much slower. 🤔 #SmartHome#HomeAutomation
Hat schon mal jemand eine #Elcom BVF-210 (ich habe nur Zugriff auf die Innenstation) an #HomeAssistant angebunden, oder sonst wie ein Klingelsignal auf mqtt o.ä. geleitet?
Das ist ein "i2-BUS 6Draht-Video-System".
Es gab wohl mal ein #DoorBird D301A, aber das wird nicht mehr vertrieben 😕
I’m happy to see more automation-friendly smart home stuff, but I went down the #HomeAssistant rabbit hole this year and am not tempted to look back. 😅
I see many people automating stuff I consider normal, such as closing windows shutters or turning on and off lights at a certain time or by using their phone.
I think these activities are normal and fine in a house. Yes, I like to open and close the shutters manually and turn on the light by using the switch on the wall.
So, which useful automations do you have in your home?
Just finished rewriting my #homeassistant automations to use trigger IDs and Choose actions, reducing my Automations by half. Thank you @homeassistant for such an awesome tool! #smarthome

Token in Schlüsselform sollen Netatmos Smart Lock besonders zugänglich machen. Rechtzeitige Batteriewechsel sind dadurch wichtiger als bei anderen Modellen.
Myślę o tym żeby zacząć przygodę ze #smarthome i zastanawiam się w jaki sposób wybrać ekosystem w którym to zrobię. Czym się sugerować? Ceną? Dostępnością konkretnych technologii (np. ZigBee vs WiFi)? Dostępnością rodzajów czujników? Krajem pochodzenia (żeby na przykład nie używać kamer z chińskimi backdoorami)?
Jak jako laik mam się odnaleźć w tym skomplikowanym świecie? 😃
Despite working in the electronics field, I never really got into #smarthome stuff. But lately I have been trying out #homeassistant and was excited that a friend from Chicago Meetups, @kbx81, has been working at #NabuCasa on the #esphome project.
I spoke with Keith about how to get started as a beginner in the field, but then also how to put some custom electronics to work in a #homeautomation context. I was impressed with how fast I could add a #zigbee device to my HA
Matter is coming to fix all your smarthome woes! A single IoT standard, working across multiple radio protocols, bringing together different products from many different manufacturers. And… it works! Mostly These are the Meross 315 Smart Plugs. They are …
IF I were paying for electricity for charging my #ev it would still be less than half the cost to fuel my old hybrid (which got 50 mpg), but I only charge on sunny days and I make sure the draw by the charger doesn’t exceed the energy of the panels. Benefits of a #smarthome setup for the #solar and the EV charger. Thank you Ra, Sun God, whose existence I now believe in because you almighty Ra fuel my trips to Starbucks.
I wanted to do the smart house thingy that I see everyone else do. My Internet connection is unstable, it turns out, so while trying to make my way to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I realised I couldn't turn on the lights.
Kann mir vielleicht jemand einen zigbee hub empfehlen, den ich gut an meinem Unraid Heimserver betreiben kann? Ich will darüber smart plugs und Rauchmelder laufen lassen und bin etwas unsicher, welche da etwas taugen. #smarthome#zigbee
Er ist gekommen, um sauber zu machen. 🧹 Doch stattdessen bringt er ungebetene Gäste mit, die für ziemlich viel Chaos sorgen – unsichtbares Chaos. Denn auch Saugroboter können gehackt werden, wenn #Cyberkriminelle Sicherheitslücken ausnutzen.
Damit der Saubermann also nicht plötzlich zum unfreiwilligen Spion wird, gibt es ein paar Dinge zu beachten. Mehr erfahrt ihr auf https://einfachabsichern.de 👈
#HomeAssistant shows a lot of promise for #SmartHome integration across manufacturers, but right now, there is still an awful lot of Fucking About™ required to make things happen.
I'm trying to integrate something and the bit that's required before I set the integration up requires SSH, an additional interface element (HACS), and an installation sequence, accompanied by clearing browser cache, that does not easily seem to work.
I'm as keen as the next geek to mess with stuff under the hood, but this is pretty much deep nerd only territory.
I don't have enough time to keep up with all my projects: #3dprinting, #coding, #ClassQuiz, #smarthome, #school, #gaming and #tabletennis. I'd really appreciate having a helping hand regarding @classquiz who can take on some small(ish) issues I've been aware of for months, but at the time, I am focused on other projects (also in the regard of coding): There's @homeassistant and #FediPrint.
