Exploring Redundancy and Smart Thermostat Solutions in Home Automation

As I dive deeper into the world of home automation, I’ve been pondering the idea of redundancy in my setup. Imagine having two Raspberry Pi devices running Home Assistant as a fail-safe measure—just in case one goes down or loses connection. It’s a fascinating concept, and I’d love to hear how others have implemented such a system. Have you managed to create a completely redundant setup? What challenges did you face, and how did you overcome them? :brain::bulb:

On another note, I’ve been experimenting with adjusting the swing of my thermostat to make it more precise. The default swing is quite large, and I’d like to fine-tune it for better temperature control. I found a Python script that seems to do the trick, but I’m curious if there are other methods or tools that folks have used for similar adjustments. Any tips or experiences to share would be greatly appreciated! :thermometer::mag:

Lastly, I’ve been exploring the integration of Z-Wave devices and would love to see more logging options for inclusion and exclusion processes. It would be incredibly helpful to have detailed logs to confirm whether a device was successfully added or removed from the network. Have you encountered any issues with Z-Wave device management, and how did you resolve them? :hammer_and_wrench::memo:

Let’s keep the conversation flowing and share our experiences and solutions! :handshake:
