Very frustrating for sure. Like any tool, it’s up to humans to know when the tool is useful.

AI is here, another tool to use…the correct way. Very reasonable approach from Torvalds.

You can’t even blame your human accountant.

A quick google search will give you the history.

Really enjoy WXRV 95.9 The River Boston. You can stream from a number of sources.

It is considered international for transit passage.

Fair enough. I just didn’t want others who read your post to be misinformed.

Nabu Casa’s own documentation says the ZBT-2 does NOT support multi-protocols. The zbt-2 does work with Matter, but then won’t support Zigbee.

https://www.home-assistant.io/connect/zbt-2

“Connect ZBT-2 cannot do both Zigbee and Thread simultaneously. This technology is often called “multiprotocol” or “MultiPAN”. Though it is theoretically possible with the hardware within Connect ZBT-2, in our experience, this functionality doesn’t work well, and we don’t plan to implement it. We previously thoroughly tested multiprotocol with our Connect ZBT-1 adapter and found its operation to be inconsistent, often causing device stability issues. We do not believe multiprotocol is suitable for operation in the home, and strongly recommend dedicating a device to each protocol.”

Thanks kind stranger! Was not aware of this.

I’m certainly no expert, but are you talking about features available in Zigbee2MQTT? I can’t find anything like this using ZHA.

Come from Away in Toronto. Very uplifting.

My first ‘issue’ is I have everything in ZHA. I want to move to Zigbee2MQTT, but with 40 zigbee devices and associated automations it’s a pita. So I figured get the zbt-2 and migrate that way. ZHA doesn’t report LQI and RSSI, so measuring the mesh isn’t completely empirical. First issue was a window sensor I use for the mailbox. It was a 3rd reality sensor and it was losing network connectivity about once a week. It’s just outside the front door, and I have a 3rd reality zigbee outlet in the front entrance. The Sonoff coordinator is mounted on the wall at the bottom of the stairs, which go down from the front entrance. (difficult to visualize, I know).

I then tried another window sensor on a closet door in the kitchen to trigger a light when the door was opened. Another zigbee outlet very close to the closet. Sensor (aqara in this case) can’t stay connected for 5 minutes.

So, considering I want to migrate to zigbee2mqtt anyway, I figured this was an opportunity to experience that pain.

Not so dumb actually. You take whatever course you want for free, get to listen to very smart people that know the topic, and probably learn something. What’s the downside?

You’re probably better off auditing a University course then, instead of exchanging ideas on Lemmy.

We call them Christmas and Easter, but they’re really just secular holidays for the family to get together. No religious aspect whatsoever, but great getting together.

Not sure if you have access to the pipes leading to the shower, but the droplet does what you’re looking to do.

I’ve been using the one offered here.

Before I configured Claude, I was completely lost with dashboards. With Claude, I had a couple of false starts, but I now have a fully working dashboard.

I have also used it to rationalize entity names for devices that have changed rooms/uses.

I have a couple of automations that are incredibly useful. I used Claude for all of them, but I will say a few of them needed tweaking.

Living Room blind: close blind if both people leave home. (we do not subscribe to nabu casa, had to be failed ping on phone). Then if either person returns home, open blind except if after sunset, then leave blind closed but turn on lights on driveway.

Washer/Dryer: We have a dumb washer / dryer. Used a 4 gang switch from Amazon to service 4 people. If you want to be notified when washer/dryer is done, press your button. If you want to unsubscribe double press button. Here’s the great part. Log all washer/dryer completions in a Google Sheet. (yep, Claude did that).

I have a bunch of others, but this post is too long already. (nfc tags, motion detector, etc).

This is a small one. I’d like to see a full screen edit window like Reddit has.
