Hello everyone! I’ve been exploring ways to integrate my Tado° smart thermostat into my openHAB setup, and while there’s no direct binding available yet, I’ve found some workarounds using MQTT and custom rules. It’s been a bit of a learning curve, but the results are promising!
One thing I’ve noticed is that the responsiveness of my system can slow down when there are too many apps and flows running. I’ve heard that disabling unused insights might free up some resources, but I’m not sure how significant the impact would be. Has anyone tried this and noticed a difference?
Another topic I’m curious about is energy tracking with TP-Link smart plugs. I received a notification from SmartThings about a new feature that allows tracking energy usage with TP-Link devices. I’m wondering if this works with all TP-Link models or just specific ones like the Tapo series. If it’s limited, I might need to invest in compatible devices.
Lastly, I’ve been dealing with some hiccups in my rule executions. Occasionally, there’s a delay in turning off lights or adjusting the thermostat, which can be a bit frustrating. I’m curious if others have experienced similar issues and how they’ve resolved them.
If anyone has tips or experiences to share on these topics, I’d love to hear them! Let’s keep the discussion going and help each other optimize our smart home setups.
