Hi everyone,
I’ve been diving into the world of smart home devices lately and have come across some interesting challenges and solutions. I wanted to share my experiences and gather some insights from the community.
First off, I recently tried connecting my Nuki Door Opener to a Bell System Intercom. It was a bit of a puzzle at first, but after some research and trial and error, I managed to get it working! The key was ensuring the wiring and protocols were compatible. If anyone else is attempting this, I’d recommend checking the device specifications and possibly reaching out to the manufacturer’s support for guidance.
Another topic that’s been on my mind is the compatibility between Shelly devices and Homey. I’ve heard mixed reviews about using Shelly through the Shelly Cloud instead of local WiFi. While it’s convenient, I’m concerned about potential latency issues. Has anyone successfully set this up without needing a VPN? I’d love to hear your experiences!
Speaking of compatibility, I’ve been exploring the Aqara Smart Plug and the Shelly Plug. Both seem to offer similar features, but I’m curious about the community’s preferences. Do you find one more reliable or easier to integrate into your existing setup? I’m leaning towards Aqara for their seamless integration with Hubitat, but I’m open to suggestions.
On a lighter note, I stumbled upon an old but fun topic: the Leisure Suit Larry Age Verification Test. It’s a blast from the past and a great reminder of how far we’ve come in gaming and technology. If anyone hasn’t tried it, I highly recommend giving it a shot for a nostalgic chuckle!
Lastly, I wanted to touch on the importance of local backups for Zigbee and Z-Wave settings. With the rise in smart home adoption, having a reliable backup system is crucial. I’ve heard there are plans for enhanced local backup features, but I’d love to see more progress in this area. Has anyone implemented a robust backup solution they’d like to share?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences!
Best regards,
