How to deal with pressure treated lumber shrinking?
When I built this rack, it was perfectly square. 3 months later, I guess the pressure-treated wood has shrunk and it’s sagging. So what’s the right way to build something like this? Just let the lumber sit for several months to dry out? Don’t buy from Home Depot? Is there a way to tell when the wood is “ready”?
Clear tutorial on Zigbee migration?
Tired of the unreliable connectivity of Wifi when controlling critical stuff like lights, I want to move to Zigbee. I’m going to move everything to the Hue bulbs, but I want to use something connected directly to HA for the hub. Anyone have some clear advice on a good, available USB dongle for Home Assistant, config/setup/adding Hue lights?
Non-cloud RGB bulbs with accurate color?
So I’ve got several Wiz and a couple TP-Link Kasa bulbs that have very good color representation. The output looks like what I select in Home Assistant, and maintains that color when dimmed. I’d like to move to lights that don’t need any cloud, ideally all ESPHome flashed. However, every bulb I’ve got that is flashable with ESPHome has terrible color, mostly a problem with excessively bright blue. I’ve attempted to color-correct with the yaml by limiting the blue channel power output, but it has to be set to a max of like 30%, doing that usually breaks the color at anything lower than about% brightness. Selecting pure white 255,255,255) looks blue. Selecting a “true” purple (128,0,128) just looks like a slightly red blue. It makes selecting warm, orange colors nearly impossible, it’s always either pink or greenish. The gamma correction options don’t really seem to help with this either, but I might just have no idea how those work.
