Matter and Thread are great reasons to use Zigbee.

Ugh. This morning all of my #TP-Link #tapo smart plugs (TP15) stopped working in #homeassistant . They still work in the Tapo app but won't communicate with standard TP-Link integration. Reloads and factory reset didn't help.
Guess I'll move them to Matter, which I had been planning to do anyway. I really need to upgrade all of my plugs to zigbee/z-wave/thread, but I'm too damn cheap. 😂

@stephenrobles@mastodon.social I’ll be watching as always, but I haven’t seen anything compelling (to me).

@GavinCampbell Thanks for the info. BRB, gonna go burn all of my tokens.
Maybe I'll have opencode look at my config first and see if I can get get some easy wins before unleashing Claude.

@wagesj45@mastodon.jordanwages.com We should at least be able to expect things to be non-exploitive. Pipe dream, I know.

@wagesj45@mastodon.jordanwages.com @FlockOfCats@famichiki.jp Ah ,got it. I think tech has gotten to the point where people equate it to just another appliance. Toaster, refrigerator, computer, it's all the same to most people.

That's a fair point, I read it as a 'yer on yer own!' thing

@tj@hometech.social I did in fact grab some Third Reality outlets because you raved about them on the podcast. So much nicer to watch them pop up in Z2M instead of taking 3-4 times trying to get a Matter device to connect. It tool less than an hour to migrate all of my TP Link outlets to the Third Reality once. I use a lot of labels in my automations, so thankfully
I only had to touch up a couple of them.
I've never played with Z-wave...maybe I'll grab one of those paper towel rolls next and give it a try!

@GavinCampbell@hometech.social Agreed. I pulled the trigger on some Third Reality outlets shortly after posting. It was a good excuse to get out of TP-Link's ecosystem, even though the outlets have been pretty good over all.
Also, congrats on the new YouTube Channel! I'm subbed and plan to watch this weekend.

Have you seen this one? https://smlight.tech/global/slzb-ultima. I have one of their zigbee coordinators that has been pretty good, but this looks like a beast! I’m not sure if that’s bad or good.
Nice write up! First thing I thought was "Home Assistant really needs to improve notifications." But then again, I think that a lot. 😀

@GavinCampbell@hometech.social Having Claude do an audit is on my to-do list. Are you running Claude right in the HA terminal or just in the machine/VM?
Replying to
@GavinCampbell@hometech.social @tj@hometech.social @seth@hometech.social I always listen and must have missed that one. I’m good with what I have currently, but I’d like to see more multi-mode devices out there.

@paco@infosec.exchange @zrail@hachyderm.io Pretty much, yeah. With that many relays you might want a spare of it hanging around just in case.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social I dumped ring after the first time they started hanging out access to people’s videos. It’s amazing that people still trust them.
