ÖlbaumSo, home automation question: is Z-Wave a piece of shit, or is it just Homey, Fibaro, and Qubino that are piece of shit manufacturers? <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/HomeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAutomation</a> <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/ZWave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ZWave</a> <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/Homey" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Homey</a> <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/Fibaro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fibaro</a> <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/Qubino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Qubino</a>

Pete Keen<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/zwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#zwave</a> has come a long ways, dang. I just got a Zooz ZSE41 door open/close sensor which supports 800 LR which I was able to pair in LR mode after some futzing. RF performance is _way_ better than any of the other gear I have right now.

Unixorn - 90% Snark by weightI'm looking at setting up <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/alarmo" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#alarmo</a> to replace an ADT system. The software side looks easy, but I'd like a hardware recommendation for a keypad. I'd prefer <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/zigbee" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#zigbee</a> but I have a <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/zwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#zwave</a> mesh too.Right now I'm thinking of a Ring v2 for the keypad and Aquara contact sensors for the doors and windows.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#homeassistant</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/homeassistant" class="u-url mention">@homeassistant</a>

Bodo MenkeWhy did I decide to ditch traditional PIR movement detection and move to 60 GHz radar-based presence detection? Because battery-powered PIR are pain in the ass. I tried various zWave and Zigbee devices over a time-span of 10 yrs. They all suck - earlier or later.

Matt KnightAny recommendations for local-only IoT devices (Z-Wave, Zigbee, or a device I can flash with ESPHome) suitable for switching a relatively large, inductive 120V AC load?Specifically, it's a septic pump that draws about 15A while running, but spikes up as high as 40A when it first starts. Makes me a little nervous to run it via a Sonoff POW or similar which would have been my go-to otherwise.<a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfhosted</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/esphome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#esphome</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/zigbee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zigbee</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/zwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zwave</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/esp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#esp</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/pump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pump</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/motor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#motor</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#electronics</a>

Paul<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/homeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeAssistant</a> shenanigans continues. I had to cut in a deeper box due to the size of these <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/zooz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zooz</a> switches, and ended up just going with a 3 gang due to all the other wires that came into the box (2 separate outlet runs also exit here). I mostly like these switches, but I’m not crazy about the little delay that’s caused by the switch waiting to detect a double-tap, and I’m not finding a way to disable it. It’s a shame, ‘cause both <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/zwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zwave</a> and WiFi coms are really snappy. I will die mad about the aluminum wire in this house (and hopefully not -From- it!). Fortunately I’ve seen Noalox on any re-work, and I’m being super diligent about using it as well. I know there’s mixed feelings about <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/wago" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wago</a> connectors for line voltage. I’m going to keep an eye on them, but they were a lot easier than wire nuts, as specially since I didn’t have a lot of slack to work with. There was no way I could have crammed all this into a 2 gang box, and I’m glad I didn’t try.

Gavin CampbellHelped a friend with a <a href="https://hometech.social/tags/ZWave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ZWave</a> issue. Was having issues with slowness and lost messages.Looked at the network graph found in zwave-js-ui in <a href="https://hometech.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> we could see a lot of devices routing through a specific device. Once we power cycle it we had big improvements. Also did a network heal so the the routes are rebuilt just in case.I've seen this multiple times where a specific device could be causing issues and just needs to have the power cut for a few seconds.Sharing just in case.

Unixorn - 90% Snark by weight<a href="https://hometech.social/@nickbuilds" class="u-url mention">@nickbuilds</a> I started with HA running in docker on an Odroid HC2 (a ARM32 with 2GB RAM) and migrated to an Orange Pi 5 with 16GB. I'm planning to move it to HAOS in either a <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/proxmox" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#proxmox</a> VM or LXC containter soon - I just set up a cluster last weekend and want to make it easier to move HA to another cluster node if there's an issue - I won't have to update DNS, the container/VM will retain its IP address after migrating.This is going to be easier for me because I'm running <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/zwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#zwave</a>-js-ui and <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/zigbee2mqtt" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#zigbee2mqtt</a> in containers on other machines, so I won't have to hassle with configuring USB passthrough.

Ety, Ringer of Bells ^GBefore I go old testament on this <a href="https://hive.institute/tags/ecobee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecobee</a> for dropping their API access, are there any known workarounds for integrating it with <a href="https://hive.institute/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> without relying on <a href="https://hive.institute/tags/HomeKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeKit</a> ?I have a basic stat that supports <a href="https://hive.institute/tags/ZWave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ZWave</a>, but would lose out on the remote probes feature which sadly I'm pretty invested in.Hmm, maybe someone has written a system to replicate the ecobee's remote probes features within HA using generic temperature sensors?Grateful for any suggestions.

James Derrick<a href="https://mastodon.social/@AlexanderKingsbury" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@AlexanderKingsbury</a> SilLabs missed the boat of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/FOSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FOSS</a> open standards, so my guess is opening <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/zwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zwave</a> was to try and keep it relevant. Not seen any other chips, so IMHO failed (& Z-Wave LR looks industrial - LoRa-ish).<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Matter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Matter</a> kit is ideal for those who want some tech, but don’t want a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NabuCasa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NabuCasa</a> Green. You can use <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Matter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Matter</a> kit with Google/ Apple/ Amazon today, but add to <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> or another platform tomorrow without pain.The range is still a bit limited - e.g. the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Sonoff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Sonoff</a> Mini4RM is good.

Bryan McElveen<a href="https://mastodon.social/@montef" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@montef</a> The lack of neutral wires in my 1940s home was the first big obstacle I faced in my <a href="https://mas.to/tags/smarthome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smarthome</a> journey, which led me to purchase the Lutron Hub as the first accessory to my <a href="https://mas.to/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a> rig. The switches work perfectly, although I would have preferred that they run a <a href="https://mas.to/tags/zigbee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zigbee</a> or <a href="https://mas.to/tags/zwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zwave</a> protocol rather than their own proprietary one. Zero complaints with <a href="https://mas.to/tags/lutron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lutron</a> performance though.

Joerg Jaspert :debian:Hrm. First time tried Matter in my Homeassistant. Ended up removing that again, will send them plugs back and get me ones with Zwave or Zigbee. Those at least do work.First of I had to get a different phone, or that companion app always insisted on "No wifi available" (a clear lie, obviously, just accessed my HA over wifi). And then when trying to setup the plug, the app hang right after the configure step (I saw it on the wifi router) trying to speak to it again. Just never found it. Device was pinging nicely, but the app never found it.Marked as beta, so will try again in some months time, but now the stuff needs to work, no time for debugging sessions.<a href="https://fulda.social/tags/Matter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Matter</a> <a href="https://fulda.social/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a> <a href="https://fulda.social/tags/Zwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Zwave</a>

Joerg Jaspert :debian:Mist. Total falsch beim Aufräumen an das Heizungsventil gekommen. Was abgebrochen. Nu darf ich nen neues holen. Wollt ich zwar eh schonmal, aber bisher war es ein "Ick will mal", nun wurde es zu einem "Ick muss"...Bisher hab ich Homematic, die schönen alten, die nicht so dumm auch gleich das Thermostat mit dabei haben. Sondern wo das Thermostat vernünftig getrennt ist. Gibt es so natürlich nicht mehr, nur noch den kombinierten Schwachfug. (Ja, ich weiss, kann man auch mit einem extra Thermostat koppeln, ist trotzdem bäh).Frag mich aber eh, ob ich dabei nicht gleich von Homematic auf was anderes wechsel. Funktechnisch hab ich genug, zwave, zigbee und Zeugs das direkt im Wifi hängt ist auch schon vorhanden...<a href="https://fulda.social/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a> <a href="https://fulda.social/tags/homematic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homematic</a> <a href="https://fulda.social/tags/Zwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Zwave</a> <a href="https://fulda.social/tags/zigbee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zigbee</a>
