Hello everyone! I’ve been diving into the world of smart home devices lately, and I wanted to share some of my experiences and questions. Whether you’re a seasoned expert or just starting out, I hope this post sparks some useful discussions!
First off, I’ve been experimenting with Zigbee devices and have come across some mixed opinions regarding their susceptibility to Wi-Fi interference. I personally have around 25 Zigbee devices, and I’ve never encountered any significant issues. However, I’ve noticed a lot of people online advising against Zigbee due to potential Wi-Fi interference. I’m curious to hear others’ experiences—how big of a risk is this really? I understand the theory that they share the same frequency band, but in practice, how problematic is it? I’d love to know if there are specific scenarios or solutions to mitigate this.
Another topic I’ve been exploring is the Wyze Cam v2. The camera itself works beautifully, and the live stream is flawless. However, I’ve noticed that my motion event videos are automatically deleting overnight, which is concerning. I thought these were supposed to be stored for 14 days. Am I missing something obvious here? It would be great to hear if others are experiencing the same issue or have found a workaround.
Lastly, I’ve been trying to figure out how to set and recall custom colors and brightness levels for my Hue bulbs. I’ve seen some suggestions about using scenes or custom apps, but I’m not entirely sure how to go about it. If anyone has tips or tricks, I’d be grateful! I’d love to create some preset settings for different moods or activities around the house.
Overall, I’m really enjoying the journey of building my smart home ecosystem, but there’s always so much to learn. I’d love to hear your thoughts, experiences, and advice on these topics. Let’s keep the conversation going!
Cheers,
