Hey everyone! I’ve been diving into some smart home tech lately and wanted to share my experiences and ask for a bit of advice. First off, I’ve been having some trouble with Homebridge plugins and upgrading Homebridge itself. The error message I’m getting is a bit cryptic, and I’m not entirely sure how to resolve it. I’ve tried looking it up online, but the solutions suggested are a bit over my head. I’m running this on a Mac mini with OSX 11.2.3, and I’m wondering if reinstalling Homebridge might be the way to go. Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
On another note, I came across the AmbiClimate Mini smart AC controller and thought it might be worth checking out. From what I understand, it’s a smaller version of their previous model and integrates with Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, and IFTTT. It even works with Siri Shortcuts, which is a plus for me since I’m pretty invested in the Apple ecosystem. However, it doesn’t have official HomeKit support, which is a bit of a letdown. I’m curious if anyone here has experience with this device or similar alternatives that do offer HomeKit compatibility.
I also stumbled upon a review that mentioned the AmbiClimate Mini uses AI to learn your comfort preferences, which sounds pretty cool. It adjusts the AC settings based on your feedback and local weather conditions. The downside is that this AI functionality requires a subscription, which might be a dealbreaker for some. I’m torn between wanting the convenience of the AI features and not wanting to commit to a recurring cost. Has anyone here tried this out or found a good workaround?
Lastly, I wanted to mention that I’ve been exploring ways to integrate more devices into my smart home setup. If anyone has tips on troubleshooting Homebridge issues or recommendations for reliable smart AC controllers, I’d love to hear them. Let’s keep the conversation going and help each other out!
Cheers,
