  1. I believe I'm discovering #HomeAssistant automations quit working if a device in them is non-responsive.

    This may be limited only to #ZWave and may be a feature of that network. EG: the time ZWave takes to give up on a command is too long the HAOS to wait and it just nopes out of the automation.

    Something odd is happening.

    But I should maybe give up hope until all the construction is finished...

  3. The Zooz Motion Dimmer is the smart switch that does more, automatically. It combines a dimmer, motion sensor, and ambient light sensor in one device, so lights turn on only when someone is in the room and only when extra light is actually needed.

    Hey look at this new #Zooz device. Looks pretty cool!

  5. I see the big #HomeAssistant announcement about #Matter but as a user with a pretty big HA install, I just don't see any benefit for myself. My #Zwave, #Zigbee, Wifi and RF devices work just fine and I don't see any reason to replace them with Matter devices.

  7. I see for #lora range 800. I Think start with autonomous #outdoor : #solar or #poe (never see poe with lora)

    idea : perso to play with lora and test water tank #sensor (nothing found in #zwave) to report it on #hass

    mid/long term : use it to follow my car to open gate and garage when back to home

    I was looking at the #thinknode M6 bu I saw some reviews not top :/

    (I see the #seeed to) : any opinions/ideas/advice?

    thank you :)

  9. Je regarde pour du #lora range 800. Je pense partir sur du #outdoor "autonome" : #solaire ou #poe (si ca existe, pas trouvé du poe)

    l'idée : perso, pour faire joujou et tester un capteur pour citerne d'eau (rien trouvé en #zwave ) pour remonter dans #hass .
    à terme, tracer des bidules, dont ma voiture pour ouvrir en auto portail + garage (bah oui)

    Je regardais le #thinknode M6 mais j'ai vu des reviews pas top top :/

    (j'ai vu le #seeed aussi..) des avis/idées/conseils ?

    Merci :)

  13. #Matter is dead. Long live #Zigbee and #Zwave for #HomeAutomation #HomeAssistant #Homelab!

    I gave Matter years of my live, sweat equity and precious real money. No more. This article tells it. I made the decision a couple days ago to dump my devices that require Matter. The battery issues, network fragmentation, latency, … it is all as the article says. Meanwhile, my Zigbee network has scaled nicely, batteries lasting up to 2 years, stable and responsive.

  15. #HomeAssistant 's #ZWave-js has a log level "silly"

    I've been out of the game a long time, but that seems a bit goofy and strangely accurate.

  17. Added some #zwave LR devices (Zooz Titan water shutoff valve, and a few leak sensors). The "scan the QR Code with the #homeassistant app" workflow is just sooo easy.

    No include/exclude business, no "tap the button 5 times" garbage. Scan, wait a minute, ta-da! New device in Home Assistant.

  19. #AskFedi

    Going to start fresh with #HomeAutomation at the new place. Going to go back to #HomeAssistant but keeping my expectations low.

    Here's the question:
    #Zwave or #Zigbee ? I have a lot of Zwave hardware, but I'll need new stuff.

    I will have to communicate with and inside an all-metal barn (only about 20' away). Until I get ethernet in there, I'm going to have to be sneaky with anything wireless.

  21. Hello,
    Je regarde pour monter un point #lorawan chez moi, et utiliser du #lora à titre perso + relais. Mais je veux pas aller m'enfermer et j'aimerais coupler cela à mon #Homeassistant full #zwave
    Un conseil en terme de matos ? du #MS48-LR - #LPS8v2 ? sur du Hat #RPI genre #SX1302 ? autre(s)?
    L'idée serait de balancer une sonde dans une cuve pour télémétrie, avoir un second protocole pour la détection extérieur, station météo (coupler à HA + pilotage chauffage/eau chaude), etc :)

    Merci

  23. Yeay! Dank dem #support von #NabuCasa habe ich es dann doch geschafft, den #zwave-dongle mit neuer Firmware zu versehen und in Betrieb zu nehmen. Die Ablösung von Devolo Homecontrol rückt näher.
    #homeassistant for the win!

  27. Zigbee and Z-Wave build mesh networks.
    More devices = stronger network.
    Which means faster automations and fewer “why didn’t anything happen?” moments.

  28. Eine Frage an die #homeassistant und #zwave Spezis hier: ich bekomme folgende Fehlermeldung im HA, aber ein Firmwareupdate für den ZWA-2 wird mir im HA nicht angeboten. Wie bekomme ich aus dem #HAOS aus dem Raspi ein Firmwareupdate draufgeklöppelt? Oder muss ich den USB-Nöppel dafür doch an einen PC hängen?

  31. Another aspect of #Matter which I don’t really like is there are no in-wall devices, like light switches, power sockets and other modules that would otherwise fit into the electrical box.

    It’s all a massive afterthought with “smart” bulbs, that you have to always explain you cannot use wall switch now and you have to operate with glued on remote, eating up shitload of batteries…🥹

    That’s not that smart, if you ask me…

    #Zigbee and #ZWave still come on top.

  33. I saw this at #CES2026 and thought it was cool. A battery-less Z-Wave sensor from WePower. I tried to understand how it works and all I walked away with was "magnets". Something to keep an eye on.

  36. Am Sektionstor der Garage möchte ich mindestens einen Türkontakt anbringen, der Home Assistant meldet, ob das Tor geschlossen ist.

    Test mit einem der Funkthermometer auf 433 MHz-Basis, die ich mit einem DVB-T-Empfänger für Home Assistant auslese: Das Thermometersignal kommt bei Platzierung in der Garage leider nicht mehr beim Empfänger dreieinhalb Etagen höher an. Anderen Sensoren wird es mit dieser Funktechnik dann wohl nicht anders ergehen.

    Habe ich noch Alternativen zu LoRaWAN, bei denen ich ohne externe Unterstützung auskomme? Z-WAVE, Zigbee, WLAN usw. arbeiten alle mit höheren Frequenzen und ich bräuchte nach meinem Verständnis ja eher niedrigere, um besser durch Böden und Decken zu kommen …

  40. Xthings Announces New Smart Lock with Palm and Face Recognition at CES 2026
    allthethings.best/xthings-anno
    Xthings Inc., the company behind ULTRALOQ, has announced a new smart lock system that uses proximity sensing and updated biometric features. The company says this system is different from past versions because it can work with almost any door lock, and it aims to make access more simple for both homes and businesses.

  42. The Costco #ZWave smoke detectors arrived today. I unboxed one and twisted it onto the mounting base, scanned the QR code, and it paired instantly with #HomeAssistant. Great success? These are on sale through the end of the month.

    I should have bought some canned smoke! Regardless, I now have a bunch of smoke detectors to replace.
