    Get into Home Assistant. A whole new world of tinkering and reconfiguring, with the added stress of real world “Why didn’t that extremely complex automation controlling my porch lights work?”

      Job site got canceled, away from home, nothing else to do. Spent the last few hours cleaning up and “perfecting” my Home Assistant. I’m sure I’ll do it again in a few days.

        It’s never perfect!

        I have a temperature sensor in box here that I haven’t yet installed…hmmmmmwhere could I put it!

        Actually if Shelly ever gets me the stuff I ordered IN NOVEMBER I would replace the one for the pellet stove with that…but last night I saw a Tuya Zigbee air quality monitor on Amazon for under $25 that would be even better…

        Oh wait, I installed a Zigbee switch the other day but haven’t added the lights it controls to my floor plan view!

        Oops, Plans changed, I guess I could update my home assistant while I wait.

        The following 14 plugins are no longer configured by configuration.yml…

          Eh, it’s just like Linux. Sometimes you just backup valuables. Scrap the whole thing and start from scratch again.

          Personally, I’m loving the less YAML configs I have to do these days. Use to spends hours configuring it. I much prefer the click a button here and there and I’m done.

          Getting old and lazy.

      I have a pi docker setup I could run it on… Don’t tell me that 😂

      Is there a list somewhere of HA friendly less proprietary… Stuff that works well with it?
