i have a zwave extender (zooz) which keeps routing through a battery driven device (motion sensor), and it seems half my routing is going through that battery device instead of the plugged extender. Which is the appropriate "category" to go searching in for prior discussions on this?

Anyone know who might be someone to tag to consider adding dark mode support to the my.home-assistant.io redirects site? Seemingly anytime I have to click through that site, especially at 2am, I get hit with the most massive flashbang. Well, I made a not-so-forked fork of that repo and added a commit that from what I can tell does a pretty decent job at allowing that page to be viewed in dark mode if that is the user's preferred color scheme. (updated link)

oh shit I think I can use the power metering to determine if a cat is laying on the cat heater pad

My printer pre-dates Home Assistant by nearly a year

(well the design of the printer anyway, my one was built in 2017 but the model is from 2012)

SNMP certainly is a vibe

At my old job I made a program that counted prints and copies. Had to find the right ones for 20 different machines

I just wish some of the advanced features were available on SNMP

so we could get a good vendor agnostic network configuraiton solution

I've had to do quite a lot of gross things with network managed PDUs. Every brand exposes the controls differently for switching outlets off and on

yea. I have some code around of a project I did for myself to get some network insights heavily focused on snmp

You don't have to enable the remote access. You also can just use the TTS/STT service for example. Or the cloud backup.

Searching for hours... and unable to find a dimmer switch solution for my recessed lighting. I know my current switch doesn't have a neutral, and so far I have only found caseta by Lutron diva dimmers that can work with no-neutral but these don't seem to be zigbee and they are pretty pricey. I think I need to take off the faceplate again to check if there are white wires in there because access to a neutral will give tons more options I think.

I had 20cm of sawdust as insulation in the floor of the loft, we added another 35cm of cellulose on top, it has similar properties and dew point, and breathes like sawdust so you don't get moisture build up like if you just put rockwool on top

#

it cost me about 1800 euro for the whole loft, with materials and labour included

#

made a huge difference to the indoor climate, we have an old house from 1943/44

high remnant
#

Due to the way the mortar is being used in the walls we could not reliably inject it

the insulation would get stuck in the mortar joints

So roof is going first. Whatever we have left after that will be spent into renovating and impregnating the wall

I’m interested in activation some under bed lighting to act as a night night when someone gets out of bed.

Would you approach from a motion sensor/feet on the floor sensor perspective or some kind of sensor to track if someone is in the bed ?

Want to take into account low latency, light needs to go as soon as the person stands up

unborn merlin
# trail apex Want to take into account low latency, light needs to go as soon as the person ...

https://www.elevatedsensors.com/store/p/bed-presence-for-esphome

this uses force sensing resistors that go on each side of the bed.. (you can also probably get said sensors elsewhere I'd bet..)

Elevated Sensors
Bed Presence for ESPHome — Elevated Sensors

Extra Long Sensors These are the longest force sensing resistors (FSR) that money can buy. They include a full 24" (610mm) of sensing area to make sure each side of your bed is covered. Includes accurate "in bed" detection for any bed with slats. It stays out of the way and convenie

trail apex
#

I did see that, hefty price tag I’ll be honest

#

I feel like a motion sensory under the bed would work, and built in false readings rejection as it would only see feet which is the true demand signal.

#

Is there a “360” style out there though? We have 2 members of the house in the bed so I’d like to be able to cover moth sides

devices discover each-other using mdns (or sdp which proxies mdns on thread) and then send matter protocol ip packets to each-others ip addresses.

forest edge
#

binding makes sense for matter over thread but over wifi that dosen't make sense to me

mortal walrus
#

why not? there's lots of wifi matter smart switches out there which you might want to bind to wifi lights for example

#

obviously it requires that your wifi router is up, unlike thread where between thread devices it can work even if the TBR isn't running, but it doesn't require the matter coordinator.

#

actually, not sure if it works on thread without a TBR. might be iffy, since the TBR provides the SDP service

honestly, i think running a tbr co-located on HA isn't really the best solution in general. would be better to have it as a dedicated standalone device.

indeed, but because of how routing priorities work HA will always use the colocated one for outgoing traffic (tho trel should mitigate that somewhat)

eh, 30% longer life in some applications for 1/4 the rated charge count on the 2450mAh AA cells has always struck me as a kinda bad deal. I guess they're useful for devices which are inconvenient to replace the batteries in.

(and on the AAAs it's only 20% more rather than 30% more)

#

I mostly use them in garbage cans

#

So they get charged once every 6 - 8 months

#

I wanna bitch about matter

mortal walrus
#

(something interesting is that the IKEA cells marked "Made in Japan" are identical to eneloop, but where available the IKEA version is often quite a bit cheaper…)

round crystal
#

and thread

#

aren't they made by eneloop?

mortal walrus
#

made in the same factory, yeah

round crystal
#

neat

#

Can I say, Thread is a mess.

#

Not the HA thread integration. Just thread in general.

#

Apple seems to have the best implementation 🙃

#

and if this is the best, then jesus fuck

#

this is bad

#

Can we just come up with a new zigbee standard that's backwards compatible instead?

#

or just use wifi for everything /s

mortal walrus
#

the ha side is ... particularly bad at the moment tho, there's some known issues with the ha otbr and zbt-2 radio firmware that have fixes either in beta or coming to beta soon that should help quite a bit.

round crystal
#

I can't even get matter to work on HA, it wants to connect to a websocket and it refuses the connection

#

And it's slow in HomeKit

#

Z Wave is expensive

Fight me.

#

I'll adopt Z Wave when I adopt Lutron

#

Until then, we ride or die with Zigbee

mortal walrus
#

certainly hurts adoption tho, and also z-wave is pretty weak in light fixture retrofit products for folks who want colour changing or tunable white balance lighting.

weak musk
#

zwave is great and reliable

round crystal
#

Change my mind.

weak musk
#

no I agree with that

round crystal
#

I want to try Z Wave so bad

#

But the only Z Wave device I like is Casetta

#

Seriously, there's no fun Z Wave devices

#

I just figured out why matter isn't working for me.

weak musk
#

were you trying to use zwave devices, that won't work with matter

round crystal
#

I didn't realize the HA container doesn't have a matter server by default.

#

I have to spin up a container with a matter server

#

lmfao

round crystal
mortal walrus
#

matter server is separate, yeah. it's an auto-installed add-on on haos. Beware if running it in a container that it might need extra network setup on the host machine to be able to talk to thread border routers properly :/

round crystal
#

🙃

#

this is why people keep telling me to use a HAOS VM

#

Makes so much more sense now

I buy Inovelli and wait for 6 months for a shipping notification

I ordered a Blue switch with mmWave presence detection, eventually decided that I had a better solution with a standalone sensor, canceled and refunded the switch, and they just sent one anyway

#

I had almost forgotten that I'd even ordered it

mortal walrus
#

huh, how long after you cancelled the order was it before it arrived?

round crystal
#

Time to ignore the advice I got about using VMs

#

And just run more containers

static schooner
#

and I initially preordered it on June 29, 2024

#

Good thing none of this is urgent 🙂

mortal walrus
#

wow. quite the failure of communication somewhere in their logistics.

#

I really like their products and their general transparency, but they're basically running kickstarter campaigns themselves

Zigbee has been very reliable for me, even in pretty noisy 2.4 GHz environments

My setup is like a whole-family bicycle. Zwave, zigbee, some wifi, and now some thread

Sounds like it

weak musk

it's interesting, because some of their stuff ships next day

The presence of #new-matter-server implies the existence of #old-matter-server, which I can't find, but in the end, does it even matter?
