Just an old retired guy who's still a leftist.

  • And importantly, you have to have insects before you get insect predators. So if you've recently stopped spraying, predators will be slow to return. But they will!

  • Apparently owls are a major rat predator IF you keep your exterior lights low. Might increase neighbor incursions though.

  • Meanwhile, Warframe is a free game that run just fine on most any current iPhone, but they won’t release it on Mac even though the iOS beta ran great on an M1 Mini.

  • “Ranked by AI”🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

  • After one experience, I actively avoid Tuya devices.

  • Damn that’s an ugly box of a car.

  • Wildly unhelpful. And yes, the integration INSISTS that my device is a light. Yes, I can change how they report, but there's still some dumb ass slider for dimming associated with my PIRs.

    Expecting new adopters to be editing YAML (or whatever) in order to make a newly added but years old device to HASS is one hell of a bar to entry.

  • I get that, but being new to HASS (but not to home automation) I can't help but be surprised that z-wave devices are so oddly partially supported. Sure, most people go with zigbee because of cost. I can't help but think that if every single zigbee motion sensor showed up in HASS as a light, there's be a big stink about it.

  • I went this route a while ago using old cellphones and ultimately found them not worth the "savings" over even thirty dollar IP cams. There are just too many fiddly things that interfere with their reliable operation:

    • updates
    • app crashes
    • awkward placement and power delivery
    • overheating
  • I'm new to HA so let me make sure I understand. Are you saying that setting up zones in the UI isn't enough to get them to work?

  • homeassistant @lemmy.world

    Anyboard integration with HA?

  • Sorry, I don’t really understand your question. They’re just simply is no MQTT involved in Z wave.

    From my perspective, the “solution” would be for Home Assistant to properly recognize the device type.

  • Thanks. I did finally figure it out. But it’s still pretty weird to have to hide these “basic” “Lights” from the rest of the UI.

    FYI to my knowledge there’s no MQTT involved either directly or optionally with z-wave.

  • I'd post the AppleHome dashboard here, because it's amazing, but I don't want to take any credit for the work the programmer did. Also nothing unique about mine, but it looks amazing.

  • Also on point, does anyone here HAVE a SLZB Ultima and is it good/reliable?

  • homeassistant @lemmy.world

    PIR sensors that HA insists are lights

  • Stalls immediately for me. And the page says the video has 17 views.

  • So gravity is something you consider unjust?

  • WTH is a “soulist”?

  • Design highlights of the new #Trump class #battleships:

    1. Very wide amidships
    2. Capable of wrecking entire countries
    3. Loudest engines ever
    4. Largely funded by Saudis
    5. Solid gold toilets
    6. Totally full of bilge water.
