Grab yourself a Zigbee coordinator and some Zigbee Temperature Devices off AliExpress or from Ikea if you’re willing to pay more.

Apologies, I didn’t post properly initially as I was trying to post from a new device and it went pear.

Wow. This is actually really touching. Shout-out to them. I’m so glad I installed this.

😱 pause!

I wanna run a train on Linux 😈

Nice, thank you

+1 for an interest in the original

Home Assistant has all these points, but it’s about the automations we build. In the video, he explores an automation that dims the lights when he plays stuff on the TV and brightens the lights when he pauses. He explores why it’s not kid or wife friendly and how to fix it.

I love posts like this. Thanks for sharing.

Forgive me if I sound like I’m trying to over simplify things.

So your coordinator is the piece of hardware that listens for Zigbee devices. You typically plug your coordinator into your Pi or NUC on an extension cable and coupled with an add-on in Home Assistant or two, it will convert that to Mosquitto which is a Home Assistant readable format.

When you’re going through things, just make as many threads as need be and people will offer advice. In the meantime, this video should help

Nice. You took it one step further than I would’ve and in such a nice way.

Glad you’re sorted.

You’re right and all my blinds are Venetian, so I should’ve thought of that.

Sorry I couldn’t be of more help

How did it go?

I totally forgot. But I’m in front of my TV now. Sadly I can’t test. It won’t let me into the app unless I log in.

I’ll check when I go downstairs.

There’s a bunch of things you can add to normal blinds to make them smart, the problem you’ll face is that most of them are battery powered.

Is the firewall something you’ve needed?
