Good point, I have hears of people having issues with Aqara stuff like that. Good flag.
Winning at protocol mastery. I commend thee.

eYou, you are simply too late to the party. As the piece highlights in the early paragraphs, its already being done by Mastodon and the Feds (the good Feds).

I just discovered Mastodon and the Feds (that should be the name of a band) and Iโ€™m utterly thrilled to have control of what I see. Its a breath of fresh air. I look forward to my feed every day. I know its not going to be full of bollocks about Trump and other toxic stuff. Its a game changer for me.

The future is FOSS and data sovereignty and I feel a little bit closer to it today that I ever have.

Speaking of devices, Iโ€™m actually still using an ancient Conbee II and itโ€™s rock solid. I thought about changing it recently and ordered a ZBT-2 for a more up to date product, but then I realised I was insane and set it up as a Thread Border Router instead, so I have both now.

Do many companies let you use their hubs to connect to devices from competitors? I always assumed of you bight X brand, you could only c9nnet to X brand.

If you are gettng a refund, would you consider using ZIGBEE2MQTT with a suitable dongle from Home Assistant, Sonoff etc.? Then you can connect your Aqara stuff and pretty much any other brand you want, without any of their hubs.

Apologies if Iโ€™m missing something subtle here but it seems normal that Aqara would want to tie you into their products only.

Am I right that it is not for Spotify despite what it says in OP? Git page refers to YT music only?

Yeah maybe so. Iโ€™ll have a look at the entity names bit I think the loop.is being caused by something in my code. Will report back!

I have this set up to launch SmartTube instead of YouTube. Its working but there is a 1sec delay during which yhe YouTube screen flashes up. Also theres a looping issue if you use the back button to get out of SmartTube.

However, nice to have a way to remap the buttons without installing an additional app.

Nabu Casa is the way. Built by Home Assistant for Home Assistant, and utterly seamless and reliable (in my experience).

Most importantly it supports the developers who have created this amazing piece if software! Do it! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ
