I use Z2mqtt and still get random powered devices showing as unavailable. Too bad there isn’t a “ping” feature like ZWave.

Nothing moves, and yet I get random unavailable devices that come and go randomly.

I guess I need to check my WiFi channels. One of my biggest complaints around Zigbee vs ZWave. I don’t have these issues with my ZWave devices.

Look at all these China sympathizers jumping in on this thread and intentionally misrepresenting this situation.

Could these random people be mercenaries who joined Russia on their own? Maybe, but they could also be part of a much more coordinated, though more covert, partnership like with NK.

I’d love to see a floating action button like Thunder has with configurable shortcuts. I love this feature for quick navigation, hide all read, etc.

That’s what I do with my dumb washer and drier. Notifications when the washer and dryer are done, and nagging reminders if the washer is done, but the system doesn’t see the dryer turn on after some time (eg the wet clothes are still in the washer). If the washer finishes, but the drier is still running, it tells me that too, then waits for the drier to finish before resuming the wet clothes notifications.

I have an easier time using my Home Assistant dashboard to control my Sonos devices rather than the native app. Takes forever to load in Sonos but with HA, it’s near instant.

I had a blast learning and configuring vlans for my smart switch and putting all the IOT devices on their own network.

Why does everything need to be a social app? I don’t care what my friends/family on my Plex watch. I don’t want it to do anything other than allow me to play my own media.

I used to use SmartThings up until the announcement killing off WebCORE. I well fully into Home Assistant using Zigbee and ZWave both. HIGHLY recommend it, though there is work to set it up.

I use quite a bit of NodeRed as well for some of my more complex automations, and use the native HA automations for things like button mappings or simple scripts.
