Stephen Collins<p>We're still definitely at the gaffer tape, bendy mirrors, and magic smoke stage of making <a href="https://aus.social/tags/smarthome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>smarthome</span></a> tech behave in any sane way for people who aren't terminally tech-oriented</p><p>About half of everything works just fine, and the other half requires wiring a heap of potentially unreliable open-source projects together behind the scenes.</p><p>Add on to that an attempt at de- <a href="https://aus.social/tags/shittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shittification</span></a> by removing various Google owned devices and services and it's extra fun.</p><p>Right now, our smart home stack consists of Home Assistant, <a href="https://aus.social/tags/HomeKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeKit</span></a> (Apple) with <a href="https://aus.social/tags/HomeBridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeBridge</span></a> supplying some services, legacy Google/Nest things and devices from a couple of key vendors and a handful-and-a-half of others with one or two devices. .</p><p>I'm happy to faff about with this stuff in my spare time to make things work, but making something useful and usable for a person with multiple disabilities who relies on a voice assistant and a partner who doesn't have the bandwidth to play around in <a href="https://aus.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeAssistant</span></a> isn't straightforward by any means.</p>
Ety, Ringer of Bells ^G<p>Before I go old testament on this <a href="https://hive.institute/tags/ecobee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ecobee</span></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">#<span>HomeAssistant</span></a> without relying on <a href="https://hive.institute/tags/HomeKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeKit</span></a> ?</p><p>I have a basic stat that supports <a href="https://hive.institute/tags/ZWave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ZWave</span></a>, but would lose out on the remote probes feature which sadly I'm pretty invested in.</p><p>Hmm, maybe someone has written a system to replicate the ecobee's remote probes features within HA using generic temperature sensors?</p><p>Grateful for any suggestions.</p>
David Chartier<p>People who know smart home and <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/HomeKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeKit</span></a> stuff: I have a couple Level Lock+, uh, locks and a very <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a> ecosystem with a current Apple TV 4K. I can already control them with Siri even away from home. Is there value in upgrading these locks to Matter? <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/LevelLock" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LevelLock</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://level.co/matter-update/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">level.co/matter-update/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
David Chartier<p>Anyone know if there’s a way to remove Matter support from a <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/HomeKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeKit</span></a> and <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/PhilipsHue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PhilipsHue</span></a> setup?</p><p>Apparently Matter’s current implementation is the reason Siri no longer understands Hue scenes; I guess Matter doesn’t support something about them yet. But that kinda defeats the entire point of having Hue lights and scenes, right?</p><p>Is there a way to somehow remove Matter from lights and the hub in a home? <a href="https://toot.cafe/tags/Apple" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Apple</span></a></p>

Dave Slusher - Hacker/Maker<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://tapbots.social/@mark" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>mark</span></a></span> I bought two of the RatGDO boards to work with <a href="https://social.ellijaymakerspace.org/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeAssistant</span></a> and they have been basically flawless. Apparently they work with <a href="https://social.ellijaymakerspace.org/tags/HomeKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeKit</span></a> as well, you just flash different firmware.</p><p>This was to get around Chamberlain blocking Home Assistant from their APIs. I was skeptical about wiring these weird little boards to these big machines but they've been great.</p>
