Yeah it took a bit to get it all working. Zigbee2mqtt runs on an rasp-pi in the middle of the apartment for good coverage. The mosquitto broker is on the same box as HA but it took a couple tries to figure out how to get it to talk to HA.
Once it was set up it was pretty great. Occasionally I'll have to restart the rpi to fix some communication breakdown or another.
The main non-userfriendly aspect is that I have to ssh into the rpi and edit a text file then restart the docker container to accept new devices into the network, then change the file back at the end.
No other option though: I live in an apartment complex. I can't just blindly accept new devices.
Yeah but downside: I rent
So everything I'm doing is with smart sockets haha
Zigbee2mqtt + homeassistant = all I need at home and away.
All my zigbee devices just report in and I automate my home that way.
I have high hopes for matter but in the interim: I've got shit working great. Window sensors to automate air filters going on and off, a humidifier running in response to a few sensors around the apartment, grow lights on and off on some simple timers.
More complicated things like fans and lights for a 3d printing enclosure? Easy: octoprint has a homeassistant hook and I can listen in for printer start/stop.
Local control will always beat out the "easy solution" IMO. It's just a bit more setup.
But it's not a solution I could hand off to technically illiterate grandparents.
You've got cause and effect backwards, and if you read the very approachable and easy to read article you'd know that.
Your gut vs meta-analysis of 70+ studies
Yeah good idea trust your gut you sure can't trust those scientist types. Hope you didn't get vaccinated.
Apophenia amigo. It's not happening, you just want it to be.
Shortened attention span falls under mental well-being.
The older generation has always criticized the younger generation for the same things. And yet again it is done without merit.
Nah: that's covered by even older laws
It's probably make able though. Looks like calibre just uses python and there are a couple options for running python on Android.
Seems doable to make an app with the embedded python requirements and then pass a file to convert. Might be tricky with file system access since Android can get a bit anal about reading from some dirs... But you should be good read/write to/from downloads or documents.
