Rusty CorgiSo I went with Matter WiFi switches instead of Z-wave, Zigbee, or Thread switches. I'm not sure I made the right choice, but the buy-in to get enough coverage to make any low-power network work would've been prohibitively expensive. That said, there's a massive downside in that any battery-powered smart device just isn't going to work, which means getting smart switches that aren't wired is a bit more difficult.Meh. :meowshrug: Aside from the power consumption, I think I made the right choice.Side note: We do have Hue lights so I could've used them as the backbone of a Zigbee network, but I think my family would be utterly lost if I got rid of the Hue app by moving all the lights off of the bridge and onto the Home Assistant server. :meowdizzy:<a href="https://cubhub.social/tags/HomeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAutomation</a> <a href="https://cubhub.social/tags/HomeAssitant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssitant</a> <a href="https://cubhub.social/tags/Matter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Matter</a>

Rusty CorgiThe Home Assistant x Nest saga continues. The temperature sensors and Nest x Yale smart locks are only accessible through a private API, so the Home Assistant integration doesn't work with them. There is, however, a HomeKit integration that taps into that API. :blobfoxthinkgoogly: So, uh, I have a Homebridge server now.I don't recommend anything from Google or Nest for your smarthome, jeez. :blobfoxmeltsob: Oh well, not my house, so I'm just happy to get it working.<a href="https://cubhub.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> <a href="https://cubhub.social/tags/HomeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAutomation</a> <a href="https://cubhub.social/tags/Homebridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Homebridge</a> <a href="https://cubhub.social/tags/Nest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nest</a> <a href="https://cubhub.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Google</a>

Ducky FellaToday’s <a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/HomeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAutomation</a> own-goal: Having my bedroom light switch on when my phone connects to the house WiFi. I did not account for my iPhone updating and rebooting itself at 2.30am…<a href="https://cupoftea.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a>

Pete KeenFollow up: I put an on/off zwave switch I had in stock on a single-switch light and it works great. Only problem is the 4-gang box is very tight so if I want to put more in there (which I do) I'm going to have to get some of the easy-fit switches.<a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/HomeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAutomation</a>

Pete KeenOk <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/HomeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAutomation</a> folks, I would like some advice. I have some lighting circuits I want to smarten up. I have at my disposal Lutron Caseta, zwave, and zigbee.A few of these circuits are single switch but most of them are multi-switch, either two or three each. I want to use accessory switches rather than the existing three/four ways because the four way switches are literally popping out of the front of the box.What's my best option? Install the handful of zwave switches I have on hand as a way to move forward? Or should I drop $$$$ on Lutron gear? Or something else?

Jinna, Experimental Edition<a href="https://gts.laalaa.land/tags/introduction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#introduction</a> v3-ish!You'd think these things would get easier to write over time but they really don't, huh? Or it might be because I'm apparently quite <a href="https://gts.laalaa.land/tags/neurospicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neurospicy</a> following the traditional path of being just smart and shy enough to not get caught until way into adulthood. In discussions with my partner I've tried to explain the spicy as flavors of ice cream where collectively society has just decided that vanilla is the "default", whereas I'm more of a stracciatella. I'm terrible at making friends and a total hermit. I suck at subtext or ulterior intentions, so anything seeming like that is usually not intended.I'm well spoken when I have the energy for it and after being gay and doing crimes, I have successfully defended myself in court. Normally though I combine that with deep empathy to be a somewhat successful program manager in <a href="https://gts.laalaa.land/tags/cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cybersecurity</a>, specializing in <a href="https://gts.laalaa.land/tags/iam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IAM</a>, i.e. I've made a whole career out of that one line in the textbooks that says "give the right access to the right people and nothing else". I'm probably one of the few doing that without ever having touched AD or Entra, or at least that's how it feels trying to interface with the wider industry. Currently though I'm thoroughly burned out from work, surely a very uncommon situation in the cybersecurity field where unsexy hard to understand problems are always well staffed.In my spare time I dabble in <a href="https://gts.laalaa.land/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#electronics</a>, <a href="https://gts.laalaa.land/tags/homeautomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeAutomation</a> and run a tiny one rack data center, because I did that kind of work for a decade for a cloud provider and really missed it once I jumped to a desk job. (The upside is I get to wear nice clothes to work instead of worrying about heat & cut resistance!) Sometimes that <a href="https://gts.laalaa.land/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a> feels like a second job, but that and <a href="https://gts.laalaa.land/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#OpenSource</a> contributions and the only reason why I have any transferable industry skills, so it's mostly worth it. I also used to teach an intensive fiber optics 101 class (enough to get an FOI title) so I know many weird things about the fiber optics world! Still kinda lowkey want to buy my own fusion splicer.I'm <a href="https://gts.laalaa.land/tags/transfem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#transfem</a> and quite <a href="https://gts.laalaa.land/tags/sapphic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sapphic</a> but really it's the least interesting thing about me I think? With the very limited spoon budget I have I can't really effectively do any kind of advocacy or activism, but hope to do more one day. I did however create <a href="https://transitiokanta.fi" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://transitiokanta.fi</a> to document transition related bureaucracy in Finland since it's the promised land of very specific complex processes that I had to learn how to navigate. It's a wiki open to contributions, but for obvious reasons doesn't have open signups, so you need to ask me if you want to contribute.I don't boost media posts without alt text because accessibility matters. If I manage to post one myself without alt text, feel free to call me out so I can fix my mistake. Other than that, it's anyone's guess what I'll post & boost, probably a bit of tech, security, queer things and just boring life stuff to process my own feelings.Perhaps that's enough rambling for now?
