I’ve been on a journey to create a seamless smart home experience, and I’m thrilled to share my progress with you all. ![]()
Starting with Zigbee devices, I’ve successfully integrated my Ziggo Media Box Next Mini and a few Aeotec door sensors. The setup wasn’t without its challenges—especially getting the Ziggo box to power on from standby without the remote. After some research, I discovered that Wake On LAN wasn’t the solution, but a custom component might be the way to go. I’m now diving into creating my own, which is both exciting and a bit daunting!
Another highlight has been experimenting with NFC tags to automate my Govee lights. It’s incredible how a simple tap on my iPhone can trigger predefined scenes, like setting the mood for a cozy evening or brightening up the room for a productive day. This integration has definitely added a touch of magic to my daily routine. ![]()
I’d love to hear from others who’ve tackled similar projects or have tips for improving my setup. Whether it’s refining my Zigbee automation or discovering new ways to use NFC tags, your insights would be invaluable!
Let’s keep the conversation flowing and inspire each other to create even smarter homes! ![]()
