Omg I could kiss you. Reddit has been an excellent bullshit filter for google but the blackouts made it tough.

For sure. I would honestly love to not but I work from home so it’s easy to watch a movie and wait for a teams notification if I’m needed :)

 

I’m familiar with IR but like… does it need to be in the same room as my tv? My entire house has RF fans and I’d love to buy one device but idk if it’ll cover the whole 1700 sqft, or even other closed rooms. IR is a nice to have but I mostly care about RF. Does that need to be in the same room? Thanks y’all.

Hate to say it but they never will… I think they’re still holding out hope they can rebuild their own client. The 117 debacle was entirely because they were planning their client revamp.

I am using iOS. The ones I bought are very generic, I will try to find an Amazon link and report back. There’s very little difference between versions so I think just about any would work with both type!

I don’t see why not? I can engage the mod over there.

Definitely curious, how do you set these up and what do you recommend getting?

[–] dinosoup@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

With iPhone shortcuts, you don’t actually read anything off the tag, it just recognizes it and runs a shortcut that calls a home assistant entity (least that’s how I do it).

Yeah, your edit definitely got it. Looking back in time, if I knew what I know now when I bought all my devices, I would’ve gone exclusively zigbee. Faster, extremely reliable and they expand and remap to each other automatically. I’ve slowly started replacing my non zigbee stuff with em.

[–] dinosoup@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Since this is pretty straight forward, I think most any “single click” Zwave switch would work? I love IKEAs stuff but I think it’s mostly Zigbee.

 
  • I have no garage door opener so I added a tag in my car to open the smart garage without having to open the app and fiddle with things.
  • I added a tag to our light switch that turns on our bedroom lamp (softer, more pleasant light at night).
  • I added a door tag to unlock the door (no information contained on the tag so nobody can break in).
  • I added a tag that pauses an automation at night so my stair lights don't come on with motion sensing.

This is literally just the tip of the iceberg. I think of a new one every couple hours. Anyone have any other cool ones to share?

Me too, home assistant integration in google is lackluster to say the least. I think it’s mostly Google’s fault but even just like devices not showing their correct state is pretty annoying…

I figure for the sake of visibility, leaving it the same would make it easiest for folks to find.

Doubly awesome - not only can you subscribe to both versions of said /c/aww on (most) any server, you will see the content inline with your normal feed so it's effectively just several versions of the same thing.

I found a 2007scape community but it looked pretty dead and unmodded so... I created a new one!

Looking forward to seeing you over there!
