Poland has 9 suspects detained & indicted, who are directly implicated in the name of Russian intelligence services of #sabotage in Poland
They are Polish, Ukrainian, & Belarusian. They may have been recruited from criminal circles
Acts of sabotage include beatings, #arson, & attempted arson, not just in Poland but also #Latvia, #Lithuania, even #Sweden. The group planned to set fire a factory in #Poland & #Ikea in Lithuania
It's been a steep learning curve but it's cool that most of the stuff just works (TP-Link #Kasa and #Tapo, #Ikea Zigbee, #Philips#Hue (using the Hue Bridge, not directly connected to my Zigbee coordinator). Some stuff this uses the cloud (but can be used locally), other stuff takes out the cloud entirely. (1/2)
Wenn ich die in letzter Zeit plötzlich auftauchenden #Kettenwachs Videos auf #YouTube anschaue, dann scheine ich irgendwas seit vier Jahren falsch zu machen:
Oh, that will work. Now we can apply a test texture (or I could have used a decal, I know) to the outside to get a sense of how it might look to install art on a standard night stand. #unreal#IKEA#IkeaHacks

Seit ungefähr einer Woche hab ich einen neuen Airplay-Lautsprecher und hör damit handgewählte Musik zum Frühstück statt Radioberieselung.
Natürlich kommt das Tindlein jetzt auf die Idee, dass es das auch will. Und so lief heute Paw Patrol zum Frühstück. 🙈
Wir werden Airtime strikt teilen müssen…
#Goedemorgen, vandaag rustig aan en even naar de #Ikea voor nieuwe glazen #pannendeksel. Want deze sukkel laat 'm gewoon uit zijn natte jatten vallen. 😬 :cafe_espresso:
En kijken voor nieuwe handdoeken. In december 6x #Hema#handdoeken gekocht en het enige wat die doen is het vocht op je lichaam verplaatsen. Van #absorberen hebben deze handdoeken nog nooit gehoord.
This time is about 700g and going to freeze them while waiting for the next batch to grow (I have one more with parsley, one with #leek, #coriander, #mint, and #dill that are not producing as much. Each unit has 15 grow holes. One is almost empty. I am missing #taragon and I'm missing Iranian Shanbalileh (شَنبَلیله یا به فارسی دری شینبل (نام علمی: Trigonella foenum-graecum) ) to have all vegetables I need except to spinach that is not worth growing in small space that I have to be self sufficient in having all necessary vegetables for cooking different Iranian dishes.
This single Ikea unit has givene 5 batch of parsley since I started it and ther are no sign of decline as ww are getting closer to summer.
It has already paid off the initial cost I paid for it and from now on, it's all profit. Next it trying to setup the Mimi tower unit to grow them with solar powered water pumps and sunshine (no artificial LEDs for this trial.
Just need to buy some fertilizer because running low.
I’ve bought some #Ikea #Vallhorn motion sensors for 8€ a piece.
Pairing to the #Zigbee network in Home Assistant and #Zigbee2MQTT was somehow difficult, which is not usual for Zigbee devices (at least according to my limited experiences with them). Nevertheless, I succeeded in pairing them.
Unsuccessful attempts
Firstly I tried to pair the sensor with ‘Permit All’ for several times. Pairing failed. I noticed the sensor wanted to connect to my #Aqara smart plug (SP-EUC01), not to the #Sonoff Zigbee stick (the coordinator). Somehow Aqara didn’t like it and rejected the initial Zigbee ‘interview’.
Overall, the design of the sensor looks nice and smooth. On the backside, it has 3 buttons:
Link – for pairing
Timer (1 – 5) – probably to notify connected lights when to turn off (after 1 or 5 minutes). Not sure if this function works or even makes sense in Home Assistant.
Light mode – to notify connected lights when to turn on/off (always, only at night). Again, this function is probably useful if you have an Ikea gateway and lights and not in the Home Assistant
Ikea Vallhorn with holderThe package also includes a holder and a piece of double-sided tape. The manual doesn’t include much information.
Automations
Why I bought this motion sensor at all? The initial idea was to turn on the Home Assistant dashboard (FireHD tablet) when someone approaches the fridge with the tablet attached.
The automation is simple:
If a motion is detected, then send a notification (‘command_screen_on’) to the tablet (running the #HomeAssistant companion app):
Motion sensor log in Home AssistantIt detects motion and turns on the tablet, but the tablet screen turns off after a minute. I’ve noticed the sensor doesn’t send triggers every time it detects motion, only at the beginning of the motion and after the state is cleared (no motion detected). The states are:
Detected -> Cleared -> Detected -> Cleared … and so on
The effect: if someone is dancing in front of the sensor for several minutes, it will trigger only one time. Meanwhile, the associated automation will not be triggered again.
I could prolong the screen on time, but that is not the best solution. I have to think about how to solve this issue. Maybe other types of motion sensors behave the way I want?
Ideas for other 2 motion sensors
Ok, this was the first motion sensor I put in use.
The second sensor I’ve put in my workshop to detect motion. I’d like to build a simple home alarm system. A few days ago I thought I heard someone opening doors and walking in my workshop. When I checked, nobody was there, but the unpleasant feeling stayed. So the purpose of the second sensor is to prove if I’m hallucinating and hearing voices or not 🙂
For the 3rd one, I don’t have an idea yet where to put it.
