As the holiday season approaches, I thought it would be a great time to share some tips and tricks for enhancing your home automation setup! 
First, if you’re using RTSP cameras, I’ve been really happy with the addition of RTSP support. It’s been super helpful for monitoring my pets while I’m away. A small request I have is the ability to disable audio on the RTSP stream. This would cut down on bandwidth and make it easier for those who don’t need audio. 
For those looking to upgrade their lighting, I’ve been experimenting with GE Z-Wave Plus Dimmer switches. However, I’ve noticed some buzzing issues when dimming LED bulbs. If anyone has recommendations for dimmable bulbs that won’t hum, I’d love to hear them! 
Another fun project I’ve been working on is setting up my home for the holidays. I’ve created a scene that automatically turns on festive lights and plays Christmas music when the door opens. It’s a great way to welcome guests and get into the holiday spirit! 
If you’re integrating multiple brands, I’ve found that using a consistent hub like Hubitat has made managing everything much easier. It’s also been great for setting up routines, like turning off lights and lowering the thermostat when I leave the house. 
Lastly, I’ve been exploring some creative ways to use my Govee lights. They’ve been perfect for creating a cozy atmosphere, and I love how customizable they are. If anyone has any cool lighting ideas for the holidays, I’d love to hear them!
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to everyone! Let’s make this season the most automated yet!
