Or just use this blueprint and it’s all done for you.

I don’t understand why they just don’t charge AI data centers higher costs for electricity, so they are a net benefit to the area.

This is just madness. What the hell is Newsom thinking/drinking?

This automation also handles unavailable.

It scans the network and dynamically adds or removes batteries which it then reports on percentage level, or if the battery status is unavailable. Pretty ingenious actually.

It’s been around for years, so highly unlikely it’s AI. I wouldn’t call this a starting point for HA, but it did clean up my automations.

If you’re running HA, you don’t need an Aqara hub at all. Just add them to your Zigbee integration. ZHA or Z2M. No third party hub required.

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?
