Hello everyone, I’ve been exploring some exciting new tools in the smart home space and wanted to share my experiences and questions with the community. First off, I recently came across the Govee AI Bot and I’m curious to learn more about its capabilities. How does it integrate with existing smart home setups, and what kind of automation scenarios can it handle? I’d love to hear from anyone who’s had hands-on experience with it!
On another note, I’ve been working on a custom automation that triggers based on the number of state changes within a specific timeframe. For instance, I’d like to set off an automation if a light switch is toggled four times within three seconds. This could be a fun way to add a quick-access mode or disable certain features temporarily. I’m considering using a template to track these state changes, but I’m not entirely sure about the best approach. Any advice or examples would be greatly appreciated!
Additionally, I’ve been experimenting with MQTT Device Triggers for my homemade IoT devices. While it’s a powerful feature, I’ve noticed that the trigger configurations get lost after a Home Assistant restart. This is a bit concerning, especially for devices that don’t reboot frequently. I’d love to find a reliable way to ensure these triggers persist across restarts without constant manual intervention. Has anyone encountered this issue and found a solution?
Finally, I’d like to thank the community for all the shared knowledge and support. It’s amazing to see how much can be achieved with creativity and the right tools. I’m looking forward to hearing your insights and experiences on these topics!
