Exciting Smart Home Finds and Tips!

Hey everyone! I’m thrilled to share some exciting finds and tips I’ve come across recently in the world of smart home tech. :star2:

First off, I stumbled upon some amazing deals at Lowe’s clearance section! I snagged a Hue indoor motion sensor for just $33 and a few Pico pedestals for $7. It’s always great to stock up on essentials while saving some cash. If you haven’t checked your local Lowe’s clearance aisle yet, I highly recommend giving it a look! :moneybag:

Another gem I’ve discovered is the Govee Halo Fan 2.0 project. The progress so far is absolutely stunning—216 RGBIC LEDs packed into one fan! It’s not just about the visuals; the fan runs so silently it’s almost undetectable. I can’t wait to see the final reveal and the even better images that are promised soon. :rainbow:licht

For those of you looking to enhance your lighting setup, I’ve been experimenting with neon rope lighting. It’s been a blast creating custom setups and adding some vibrant flair to my space. If anyone has cool DIY lighting ideas, I’d love to hear them! :bulb::sparkles:

I also wanted to share a quick tip for anyone dealing with Z-Wave exclusions. I’ve heard that using an Aeotec Z-Stick can make the process smoother and less error-prone. If you’re hesitant about bricking your devices, this might be a safer route to explore. :bulb:

Lastly, I’m curious to know how others handle the dynamic hiding of sensors in their setups. I’ve been trying to figure out a way to expand options after a switch is turned on. Any insights or workarounds would be greatly appreciated! :thinking:
