ok I TRIED!

I snagged some Ubiquiti UDIM-AT light switches, and was hoping to get level data and "button press" data out of them and I'd relay that on to other things.

NOPE

After getting a uck-g2-plus so I could install the Unifi Connect stuff (WHY isn't that a container or some other thing so I can run that on a much nicer machine than the uck-g2-plus and not have to deal with this?!) I got it upgraded, associated, and after some mashing with a stick, I got it into Home Assistant.

YAY!

But the Connect interface and the HA interface basically show a whole lot of nothing remotely useful, because the switch isn't associated to anything - because duh?

So at this point it's an expensively failed experiment and I'm back to building my own. It would be lovely if I could get Inovelli involved, that would be downright lovely, but realistically I'm guessing I'm on my own for wanting POE light switches to augment / control the switches I've got in places where getting full power to doesn't make sense.

Ohhhhh well wanders off to poke at paddle light switch dimensions and how to get a 3d printable paddle going

Fan arrived here we go!
#Inovelli #HomeAssistant
First parts of my smart ceiling fan project came in. I'm using the #Inovelli blue dimmer and canopy module. These can be directly connected using bindings to each other through #HomeAssistant to control both the light (inc dimming) and the fan (inc speed) individually. I'm waiting on the fan to arrive in the next week or so before I can hook it all up and test.

#Inovelli needed a solution that could simplify installation, scale with their advanced feature set, and uphold their premium brand promise. That answer was Thread.

Together, Thread + Matter delivered the seamless, secure, and interoperable experience their community was asking for.

Today, every Inovelli switch launches with Thread + Matter at its core, making them future-ready and engineered to lead.

Wait... #inovelli makes a #zigbee switch with mmwave presence sensor all this time and I did not know about it?
