  • I like what you’ve got and will give it a go. I’m following a trail that started with an iOS app for helping you keep track of when you last contacted your friends. I couldn’t see that in your screenshots, but it would be a great feature for me at least!

  • Looking for a zigbee power meter plug without a switch

    Jump

  • Depending on your level of technical skill and willingness to risk crack things open, you can flash most Tasmota type devices with esphome and hard code it to be always on. This would go along way to eliminating software as the problem. I have done this with meters attached to my washing machine and dishwasher.

    Also, the boards are also relatively simple and it is likely (although there are lots of variants) that you could remove the relay completely and bridge across the terminals. I wouldn’t plug my electric car into it (10A sustained) but you could put a led lamp through it without without much risk.

    Disclaimer - I am a hobbyist, not an electrician. YMMV, keep a fire extinguisher nearby, yadda yadda

  • I’ve heard it split into ‘old millennials’ being digital immigrants, and ‘young millennials’ being digital natives. Both are shaped by the wider macroeconomic effects and have similar outlooks, but older millennials are more likely to have been in work with some career progression under their belt before the crises hit.

  • I recognise this problem, I had it for cameras detecting people, and that being annoying when I work in the garden.

    The automation itself is surfaced as a switch so you can turn it off without trying to change your in automation logic to test for states.

    Then, if you are like me, you’ll realise you forget to turn it back on! I created an automation that triggers when the automation is turned off and turns it back on after 2 hours (no way I’m gardening for longer than that).

    Lastly, because it was annoying to have to open the app, I made the notification have an action button to turn off the notification automation, so that when I start gardening and my phone pings, I can turn it off without farting about too much.

  • It's getting cold... how are you going to keep heating costs low this winter?

  • If you have a tool library or makerspace nearby they might have one you could borrow. The IR cameras are not cheap!

  • Thank you so much for sharing your design thinking. I have no comments but will be trying your concepts. I am considering whether it might overlap on Gridfinity bins for organising things.

  • Study (N=16) finds AI (Cursor/Claude) slows development

    Jump

  • I think you’ve got the key point here. Most of the commentary on AI focuses on its impact on people that are already good at their jobs. Where I see it having most impact is for people who aren’t good or aren’t capable. It doesn’t make them a good coder, but it might make them a bit better than before.

    The same is true for professional and technical writing. There may be an explosion of people ‘delving’ into topics, littered with em-dashes, and it might take them a while to produce it, but the principle time saving is that I’m not reviewing and editing all the garbage the first time round.

  • Z2M slow since 2025.3

  • Rebooted a bunch of bits and it seems to have sped up again. Weird really. I love zigbee for the low cost and low power consumption,M but as a tech nerd I hate that I don’t have the same tools as I would have with an IP device.

  • This is a good idea thanks! My wife and I talked about something similar recently. I think we’re going to try having some of our own office work scheduled for times when he is studying/revising.

    My sense is that his problem isn’t particularly the understanding of the topic, it’s laying down a deep enough application of it to get the marks in the exams.

  • Have you ever felt tempted to put a dashboard around the place? Maybe the rest of the family aren't bothered about longer term information etc.

    I was thinking things like weather and power usage might help my family. I also thought something that showed who was home would be cool.

  • I've got a decent number of local manual controls, but not all of them. For example, some of my wall switches operate the relay because they are just turning on and off the power. Others I have disabled the relay on because the lights themselves are WW/CW tuneable and HA controls the colour during the day.

    I'm wondering about having another look at zigbee groups and commands for the simpler automations in the house. I avoided these because they aren't really visible to HA and I didn't like having two automation 'languages' at the same time.

    Overall, how long do you think you could cope without your HA platform before it becomes an issue?

  • Hardware Recovery Strategies

    Jump

  • I was thinking about matter yesterday, I like the idea of being able to have multiple controllers. My house is half wifi devices and half zigbee. I'd been favouring zigbee recently because I don't want to swamp my network with device packets, but maybe that needs a rethink. At the very least my wifi devices all have esp home configs that could be configured to fall back to defaults.
