I’ve been diving into the world of smart thermostats lately, and I’m curious to hear your recommendations! After using a Nest for a while, I’m looking to switch away from Google’s ecosystem. Are there any standout options you’d recommend for reliability and integration with other smart home devices? I’m particularly interested in models that offer seamless app control and energy-saving features.
Speaking of integration, I’m also exploring the idea of upgrading my home automation setup with a NUC. I’ve heard great things about Hass.OS and how it can handle multiple add-ons like Phlex, Tautulli, and pi-hole more efficiently than a Raspberry Pi. If I go this route, would it be possible to install Hass.OS directly as the operating system, or would I need to stick with Linux and Hass.io? I’m leaning towards the former because the add-ons system seems robust enough for my needs.
On a different note, I stumbled upon an issue where my device_tracker keeps adding duplicate entries to my known_devices.yaml file. It’s a bit frustrating to see the same devices listed multiple times. Has anyone encountered this and found a solution? I’m using the nmap_tracker platform with the following settings:
device_tracker:
- platform: nmap_tracker
hosts: 192.168.0.1-255
hidden: true
track_new_devices: yes
If there’s a way to prevent this duplication or clean it up efficiently, I’d love to hear about it.
Overall, I’m excited to explore these new possibilities and hear your experiences and tips!
