I’ve been really enjoying my Govee products lately! The new updates to the Neon Rope Light 2 are amazing, especially the support for designs where the rope crosses itself. It’s a small feature, but it makes a big difference for creativity. Plus, with the current 35% discount, it’s a great time to upgrade your setup if you haven’t already! ![]()
On another note, I’ve been experimenting with integrating my solar panels into my smart home system. Detecting when the panels trip out has been a bit of a challenge, but I’ve been exploring options like monitoring electricity flow or checking the status of the solar meter. It’s been a fun puzzle to solve, and I’d love to hear if anyone has tips or alternative solutions for this!
Lastly, I wanted to share a quick tip for anyone using MQTT switches. I struggled a bit with getting two states (ON/OFF) to work reliably, but after some trial and error, I found that adjusting the outbound commands and ensuring proper authentication made all the difference. It’s all about attention to detail when setting up these integrations!
