Adding to the chorus of voices telling you to get a Sonoff stick.
The Conbee II is very old at this point and shouldn’t be used for new setups.

Yes! Let’s make this place feel like home 🙂
Nice, I missed that! I have Apple TVs in every room at my place, so that’s a big upgrade for me.
I worry about your mental health if you implement your button though 😆
Sounds like maybe there’s a little refinement needed for that functionality but, like you said, it’s a step in the right direction!
Lots of cool stuff in this release. I could see some very cool automations being built using the new service responses.
Are you really that worried about someone overwriting your tags?
There’s no one in my family or friends that would even realize they’re writable, let alone actually figure out how to do it.
Ah, yes, the ole’ “backup a database to telegram” trick. Who hasn’t used that one?!?
A combo of both. I group all my media apps like Sonarr, Radarr, SABnzbd, etc together in one compose since I consider each of them to be a part of the same “machine”, but most of my apps have their own compose.
I have an HP DL380 Gen8 and then a PC I bought from the local university and use as a server.
My DL380 runs ESXi. My PC runs Ubuntu on bare metal.
All of my apps are either fully VM-based (Home Assistant OS) or run in containers. Containers are far easier to build, upgrade, and migrate, and also make file management a lot easier.
I use Docker Compose. No Swarm or Kubernetes at this point.
Hopefully this is at least a good start! Let me know if you have any questions.
Those are very original!
How do you detect the zoomies?!?
I like to shop at https://cloudfree.shop/ when I can. Their pre-flashed Tasmota smart plugs are nice and support MQTT/fully local integrations.
These are Zigbee, so they are entirely local as long as you control them with a control software such as Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA that doesn’t interact with the cloud.
I’m not affiliated with smarthomescene, but really appreciate their testing methodologies and their thorough reviews!
That’s awesome – thanks for the documentation! I really like how your website is set up as well.
It looks like at least one person has modified the Switchbot to work with capacitive touch buttons.
That’s awesome! I have the lights slowly dimming up over a 10 minute period after the alarm goes off. Then it reverts to normal motion-controlled mode.
It’s not uncommon for the lights to turn off on me as my SO is up getting ready like a normal person and I’m still laying in bed lol
How does your wake-up light behavior change on weekdays versus weekends?
For your washing machine and dryer, could Switchbot be a good fit?
I’ve been meaning to do that as well. I only have the fan automated in one bathroom, but I’d like to automate all of them to have them automatically turn off after running for 20 mins or so.
I have some arbitrary temps in my system too. I also have our bed warmer automated to turn on each night, but only if it’s <=60 F outside.
Those are good ways to start! My system has grown over time… I didn’t set out to do all of these things at once, but instead have built them up over a period of years.

Mastodon — all the privacy
Twitter — pretty bad privacy
