Exploring Smart Thermostats and Zigbee Compatibility

Hi everyone! I’m diving into the world of smart thermostats and Zigbee integration, and I have a few questions and experiences to share. First, I recently upgraded my heating system and am looking for a reliable smart thermostat that integrates well with my existing Zigbee setup. I’ve heard great things about the EcoSmart SP2000 and the Stelpro Allia, but I’m curious about others’ experiences with these models.

I stumbled upon a fantastic Zigbee driver for the Stelpro Allia, developed by someone in the community. It’s available on GitHub and seems to be working well. If anyone has tried it, I’d love to hear about your experiences! The driver is a great example of how community contributions can enhance our smart home setups.

Another topic I’m exploring is Zigbee sensor compatibility, especially motion detectors. I’ve had some reliability issues with my current setup and am looking for recommendations. I’ve heard that the Aeotec MultiSensor 6 is solid, but I’m also curious about any hidden gems out there. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

On a lighter note, I’ve been experimenting with automations using my Zigbee devices. For instance, I set up a routine where my lights dim when I watch TV, and they automatically adjust based on the room’s occupancy. It’s been a fun way to optimize my energy usage and create a more comfortable living space.

I’d also love to hear about anyone’s experiences with integrating Zigbee devices into their smart home ecosystem. Whether it’s troubleshooting tips, success stories, or just general advice, I’m all ears! Let’s keep the conversation flowing and help each other make the most out of our smart homes. Happy tinkering! :rocket:
