It's not a completely "normal" rocker switch, but i have been SUPER happy with the Lutron Maestro Fan/Light Control switch. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Lutron-...MR-WH/203489683 You would have to put the control unit up behind the fan, but i was super happy with my 2 installs, and would(will) install again when i replace my living room fan next weekend. The light and fan switch both have "last setting" memory. High/Full is available as a double press of either switch.

I've made the jump in, setup homeassistant in a container, grabbed a bunch of Shelly/Kasa bulbs and switches, and even setup my first two automations. Tailwind for the barn garage door, and the soon to be installed overhead door opener is WiFi enabled as well. (Or tailscale for that and no to oem WiFi) Now I just need to learn how to VLAN all this poo poo off the internet as a whole. And then the 2x Emporia reflash and install. I'm also returning the first set of bulbs I got because I didn't realize Wyze is cloud and not local only. toplitzin fucked around with this message at 19:25 on May 15, 2023 |

Don't know, haven't installed it yet, but it integrates with the Energy Panel in HA based on the last time it came up. I think you and stevewm discussed it. stevewm posted:Finally got a Emporia Vue2 energy monitor installed on both of my electrical panels. Flashed both to ESPHome.

VelociBacon posted:Yeah I'd love to find a more economical solution - I have like 6 switches I'd like to replace. The Kasa switches are only ~$11/ea for singles, ~$15 for 3 ways or dimmers, and $20 for the motion ones. I'm slowly transitioning to them as I smarten the house.

I'm using the Kasa and Shelly equipment natively, without the app, directly into HomeAssistant. I haven't put both on a single circuit yet. I've got one kasa switch for some outdoor lights, and I'll be installing the rest shortly. The only smart bulb + smart switch location I have right now would be the hallway light. When I put that all together I will report back. Frankly I wasn't sure how smart switch+ smart bulb is any advantage outside of 'oops the smart bulb is offline because the switch is off'.

If you get the Reolink DVR, Ive got two nub cameras you can have for $make offer. They updated the listing after I bought them and are not 3rd party compatible. REOLINK 4MP PoE IP Camera, Add-on Outdoor Video Surveillance Cam to Home Security System, ONLY Work POE Camera System and NVR, Third Party Incompatible, D400 https://a.co/d/2pGWiuH

Anyone running a local Tuya instance since their new firmware (new as of 2020) can't be tuya-converted/reflashed? Seems easy/functional enough, but wanted to see if anyone here had good or bad experiences.

namlosh posted:Hey does anyone have any recommendations for a grill thermometer that uses WiFi or something else? Most of them are Bluetooth so they lose connection too easily if you’re not outside with the grill. Extra points for one thats HA aware since I run HomeAssistant. kri kri posted:I have a FireBoard and love it I love my fireboard, but it won't integrate with HA at this time. If you are code handy, you can use their API though: https://docs.fireboard.io/app/api.html The Thermoworks Smoke + Wifi Gateway will work however: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/thermoworks_smoke/ as will the MEater: https://meater.com/

There's an add-on on for much nicer dashboards I have been loving with. Let me get to a real PC and I'll update this with more info. It might also be in my post history on my most recent "how do dashboards" post. Edit: This one is tailored for a mobile/tablet dashboard. (I have a Galaxy Tab A7 with Kiosk as a control pad, so relevant to my interests/guest use) https://theawesomegarage.com/blog/responsive-home-assistant-dashboard-for-mobile-tablet-and-desktop My first pass: Its this plugin: https://github.com/thomasloven/lovelace-layout-card toplitzin fucked around with this message at 13:49 on Sep 20, 2023 |

USB over Ethernet is fine and cheap and easy. Makes finding a good location for the receiver a far better experience. It's how I have my zwave adapter connected for my deadbolt.

I've been pretty happy with a mix of Kasa and Shelly for local control. Side note: it's a right pain in the rear end that only some manufacturers cover certain market segments. In this case the only smart floodlights/high lumen (over 1k) bulbs I can find are Hue, and I have zero other Phillips products. (Many of my switches do not have a neutral so smart switches are out)

Tuya has updated a lot of poo poo so the ota reflash is a no go. To the garage door by/phone person: Tailwind. https://gotailwind.com/

Well, would you look at that. The stars have aligned, and our experimental drag-and-drop feature for dashboards is finally here! I haven't tried it out yet, but i'm looking forward to it. In other news, my ThinkSmart Views arrived, and they make great HA interfaces for places like the kitchen and my office. For $40, they're pretty nifty. Bonus points if you actually use it for Teams/Zoom Network chat: I have 4, soon to be 5 VLANs 1 5/2.4 for us 1 2.4, offline for IoT only 1 2.4 with no spaces in name/password for anything that gets weird about SSID/WPA2 1 10GB network for my server/NAS back end. TBD: Guest open SSID

Fwiw the xda thread instructions are easier/just unlocking vs a full OS reflash. https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-root-unlocking-and-improving-your-lenovo-thinksmart-view-cd-18781y.4584033/

I think a couple of us are running Reolink cameras with Blue Iris for NVR with or without AI object detection/identification. There's some website out there that will let you build a coverage map, but I can't remember the link.
