Hi everyone, I’ve been diving into the world of smart home devices lately, and I wanted to share some of my experiences and questions with you all. First off, I recently got my hands on the new Nuki Smart Lock Pro and I’m absolutely blown away by its performance. The speed at which it locks and unlocks is incredible, especially with the ‘Insane’ mode—it’s like something out of a sci-fi movie! The design is sleek, and the fact that it’s fully retrofittable without needing to change the cylinder is a huge plus for me. I’m definitely considering the Nuki Smart Lock Go for my vacation home since it’s more budget-friendly and still packs all the essential features.\On another note, I’ve been playing around with my Govee devices, and I must say, they’ve been a fantastic addition to my smart home setup. The vibrant colors and smooth transitions really bring my living space to life. I’ve even customized some routines to change the lighting based on the time of day, which has been a nice touch. However, I do have a question about their repeater functionality. I have around 10 Kasa devices, and I’m curious if using a Wi-Fi repeater would allow me to connect all my Govee devices to it instead of directly to my main router. This would free up my personal network and make things a bit more streamlined.\Lastly, I’ve been exploring ways to run Python services within Home Assistant, particularly the Lightwave Proxy service. I’ve had some challenges getting it to run smoothly through the Docker version, and I’m wondering if switching to a developer version might be the solution. I’ve heard that AppDaemon allows for more flexibility with pip3 install commands, so I’m considering that route. If anyone has tips or tricks on setting this up, I’d greatly appreciate the input!\Overall, I’m really enjoying the journey of building out my smart home, and I’m excited to see what new innovations 2025 will bring. If anyone has experiences or advice to share on these topics, I’d love to hear them! Happy tinkering everyone!
