Nice to know, I'm new to HA too. Just installed... first thing I wanna do now is for my alarm integration...

Damn I'm such a noob lol, can't even find the place to addon zzz.

EDIT: Damn.. HASS on docker can't have addons... tsk.

So I need to look for supervised HA for docker?
Synology DSM 7.2, this is my 24/7 running system 😅

This im not sure, cos i dont have HA. But i think if Tuya can be paired to HA much like how tuya can be paired to HB (with caveats on IOT account), so by right it should work right? I think lah

wifi version. How to check relay?

What is the best way to run HA? How are you guys running HA ya?

Pi4?

Because at 1st it was contributer/ community support.
Everyone (contributer) trying to install it in many ways/machine/platform.
If something failed, the community cannot find the original contributer or it was abandoned.

Now HA only support several installation method and supervised is the recommended one with support.

Yeah its very versatile. Currently i have used this “hack” for my alarm output and this rain sensor.

Can even make things like bed/chair sensor and amongst others. I saw it in the HA forums thread

Hello, I'm looking for a E27 smart bulb for my dining table pendant light.

Which brand should I choose? Philips Wiz? Yeelight? TP-Link?

Philips wiz supports matter. I would recommend that as in future matter will allow you to expand your smart home ecosystem easily.

Xiaomi no plans to support matter

Tuya until today still haven't come out their matter bridge

Yeelight is actually xiaomi subsidiary but so far they only support matter for their yeelight pro products

2. I got the 3 meter length curtain rails. In the Box, you will get 3 rails, one of which is the rail that mounts to your curtain motor. The other 2 are the extension rails. Theres one rail that is partitioned to short lengths that are tied together with clips. This allows you to fine tune the length that you need for the curtains. I found that the materials used for the rails to be solid and firm. Definitely not flimsy at all. Thumbs up for that.

4. The installation was dead simple. Clip the extensions together to the desired length, and then twist the motor into its socket. Plug in the 13A supply to the motor, and your set. Once its powered up, just press the little button on the motor (named Set) and then click on the remote to pair. Note: prior to using the remote, make sure that you unclip the curtain lock latch, and pull both sides to the extreme ends of the rail, then lock it. This will ensure that the curtain motor will recognize the length of the curtains.

Its pretty silent, won’t be loud enough to wake me.. but everyone’s sensitivity to noise whilst sleeping is different tho..

I reused the same brackets that held my original curtains. But its ok to add more if worried about the extra weight, due to the motor

Hi all, understand that for smart switches there will be wider selection if there is neutral cable available.

Hence I got question as below (for single phase electricity supply):

1. As I will be adding one light point to the ceiling, is it possible to splice a neutral wire at lighting point to the light switch for smart switch installation?

2. If to pull a new neutral wire from DB, will there be major hacking work for the house?

Anyone here has electrician familiar with pulling neutral wire can recommend?

Yeah. Something like this:


Will it cause short circuiting for the light fittings?
