As I dive deeper into the world of smart home automation, I’ve been particularly fascinated by the integration of smart thermostats and custom solutions. Recently, I’ve been experimenting with the Bosch Radiator Thermostat II on Zigbee2MQTT, and while I’ve managed to get the room temperature and battery level readings working seamlessly, the setpoint functionality has been a bit of a puzzle. The documentation mentions sending a payload to zigbee2mqtt/FRIENDLY_NAME/set with the desired temperature value, but I’m still figuring out how to configure this within my existing setup. Anyone with experience in this area, or perhaps a step-by-step example, would be greatly appreciated!
On another front, I’ve been exploring ways to customize my HABpanel interface. I’ve created a menu system using template widgets and CSS styling, inspired by some excellent work I’ve come across. However, I’m curious if there’s a way to hide the default dashboard names in the top left corner of each screen. This would make the interface cleaner and more user-friendly, especially for those who might be less tech-savvy. If anyone has tackled this or has tips on achieving this, I’d love to hear about it!
I’ve also been thinking about how to handle notifications more effectively. For instance, I’d love to have the Echo Show read the full notification content, similar to how the Echo Dot does it. Currently, it only provides a brief summary, which means I have to tap on the screen to see the full details. It would be fantastic if there was a way to configure this to provide the complete notification text without additional interaction.
Lastly, I’ve been inspired by seeing others share their HABpanel setups and would love to contribute by showcasing my own setup in the future. It’s always amazing to see the creativity and problem-solving that goes into these custom solutions. If anyone has tips on what to highlight or how to present it effectively, I’d be all ears!
Overall, it’s incredible to see the community coming together to share knowledge and tackle these challenges. Whether it’s through troubleshooting, sharing custom solutions, or simply providing encouragement, it’s experiences like these that keep me excited about the possibilities of smart home automation.
