Hi everyone! I’ve been diving into the world of smart home automation lately, and I wanted to share some of my experiences and questions with you all. Hopefully, someone might have some insights or tips to share!
First off, I recently came across the Frient Electricity Meter Interface 2 LED and was really excited to integrate it into my Home Assistant setup. According to this announcement, it should be supported out of the box. I added it to my Home Assistant instance, but I’m a bit stuck on how to adjust the impulses per kWh. The default is set to 1000, but my meter actually uses 4000/kWh. Does anyone know how to tweak this setting? I’d really appreciate any guidance on this!
On another note, I’ve been experimenting with my Google Nest Hub and love how it’s become a central hub for my daily routines. However, one thing that’s been bugging me is the voice responses. I’d love to turn off the brief responses when I ask it to play music or set a timer. For example, when I say, “Hey Google, play the radio,” I don’t want to hear it respond with “Okay, playing radio on TuneIn.” I just want it to do the action silently. I’ve heard there’s a setting for this, but I can’t seem to find it in the Home app. Has anyone figured this out?
I also wanted to share a quick tip I came across for anyone else working with Home Assistant. If you’re dealing with multiple thermostats and want to automate temperature adjustments, there’s a handy way to group them and set rules based on their input temperatures. It’s been a lifesaver for keeping my home’s climate consistent without manually adjusting each thermostat. If anyone is interested, I can share the code snippet I’ve been using!
Lastly, I wanted to thank the community for being such a supportive and knowledgeable group. Every time I hit a snag or have a question, I feel confident that someone here has the answer or at least some advice to offer. It’s been amazing to be part of such a collaborative space!
Looking forward to hearing from you all and learning more about your smart home setups and tips!
Best,
