Bro,

Thanks for the guide previously... Now manage to get HASS with z2m and Google assistant to talk to each other.

Now on to the next part... I'm looking into cctv with frigate on a server and coral connected to HASS. How goes your venture?

I was wondering on getting frigate (server) connected to HASS (on rpi)....can they both be connected via ethernet?

Now to get a server and coral.

it is nornal for all msia house to hv 2doors.
the wooden door and the steel gate.

the reason i ask, it is because i plan to go keyless.
if u install snart lock for either one... the other door will need to use key

at the end, really none of u here using smart lock for both door?

I'm looking for an infrared to wifi/network device. My ceiling fan is a typical KDK type with basic remote. I want to control it with Android. From my past experience, it can only control on-off. No control of the fan speed which I need most. Can modern devices do that now?

I'm currently using the Smart Life app with my smart switch. Hoping to expand the devices in this eco system.

sorry noob

is it that for a smart switch (linked to wifi) to work, it must have a hub linking to it?

I have not reached to your point of....complexity...yet...or won't. But the container idea is good...will test it. I just learning the basics for now...and want to put it into a mini desktop to really simulate how i would want it to run in my new home. so can terus transfer over.

I am currently running my HA in my laptop with VM. always on and off it.
i am ok with 24/7 all year desktop on....i used to have a few full tower pc doing that for torrent and as a movie server.

now with mini desktop....power consumption is wayyyy managable. currently eyeing on this...considering the cost of rpi4...this seems to be a more cost effective way. and i will need to run at least minimum 8 cameras.

SHOPEE Mini Desktop

was thinking about this too...getting a pcie coral is cheaper but the mini desktop with >1 slot cost would be much higher but i guess it's a trade off. Either cheaper coral with more exp desktop or cheaper desktop with usb coral.

performance wise...coral pcie > usb? negligeble?

of course aesthetics wise...internal would be better. but gonna shove all into a rack...

Coral TPU... wow nice stuff
where can I buy? the usb one can support how many cam?

Cant even find Coral USB Accelerator in stock anywhere.

I remembered seeing an article mentioning to connect the aircon to a smart plug with WIFI but I can't even see the air con 3 pin plug. Is it hidden somewhere?



These are the old air conditioners at my place right now. I can't see any 3 pin plugs.

Has anyone been using Daikin's wifi AC? Last time I spoke to their sales team, remote control of the AC is only if you have their "pro" subscription. Daikin says they give 2 years free with purchase of your AC. Their pro subscription is RM11.99 a year. https://www.daikin.com.my/smart-control/

Kinda lousy that they would charge for these features when the competition don't.

Do you know if these coral would work with hyper -v ?
Running my HA in hyper-v but can’t figure out if i can pass usb or pcie to HA.

want to buy the smart switch. this is my wiring. anyone can advice is this with neutral wire? which type of smart switch i can buy. thanks

Hi guys, any idea which smart lock is reliable for door ? Wouldn't mind to have combo with grill door. But I feel grill door is not a must ?

Your comments are welcome

Hi all, noob here asking basic 101 questions.
I'm looking for a smart switch to power my master bedroom lights and I'm already in the Google Home ecosystem, and I'm looking for a gray/brownish color (not white!)

What kind of options do I have? Originally I saw Aqara but they all come in white =(

Thanks! This may work!

I have a google home and planning to get an Aqara smart lock, so if I wanna "hey google" everything, do I need homebridge support?
