I’ve been diving into the world of smart home automation lately, and one feature that’s been on my mind is battery status monitoring. Thinking about both my SolarEdge battery and the custom driver I wrote to track the battery life of my keyboard and other mobile devices, I wonder if there’s a way to integrate this into my smart home setup. It would be amazing to have real-time updates on whether a device is charging, discharging, idle, or if there’s an issue with communication. Has anyone found a solution for this yet? I’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences!
On a different note, I’ve been experimenting with facial recognition on my Wyze cameras. While it’s great to see familiar faces pop up, it’s frustrating when unknown individuals trigger alerts unnecessarily. I’m curious if there’s a better way to manage these notifications or assign names to unrecognized faces directly from the main interface. Any tips or workarounds would be appreciated!
Lastly, I’ve been thinking about how to prepare for power outages. With the increasing frequency of storms, having a reliable system to detect and notify me of a blackout is crucial. I came across the Woox Siren R7051, which seems promising with its ability to detect power changes and send alerts. Pairing this with a UPS for my hub and router could provide a seamless solution. If anyone has experience with similar setups or suggestions, I’d love to hear about them!
Let’s keep the conversation going and share our experiences with these features!
