Miroslav KravecDo you know any fully open low-power mesh network standard for home-automation?I'm seeking an alternative to <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Zigbee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Zigbee</a>, <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ZWave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ZWave</a> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Thread" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Thread</a>/#Matter, that is royalty-free and doesn't require any membership, certifications, nor any other fees.

Matt KnightAny recommendations for local-only IoT devices (Z-Wave, Zigbee, or a device I can flash with ESPHome) suitable for switching a relatively large, inductive 120V AC load?Specifically, it's a septic pump that draws about 15A while running, but spikes up as high as 40A when it first starts. Makes me a little nervous to run it via a Sonoff POW or similar which would have been my go-to otherwise.<a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/selfhosted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#selfhosted</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/esphome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#esphome</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/zigbee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zigbee</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/zwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zwave</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/esp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#esp</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/pump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pump</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/motor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#motor</a> <a href="https://mastodon.knight.fyi/tags/electronics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#electronics</a>

Paul<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/homeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeAssistant</a> shenanigans continues. I had to cut in a deeper box due to the size of these <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/zooz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zooz</a> switches, and ended up just going with a 3 gang due to all the other wires that came into the box (2 separate outlet runs also exit here). I mostly like these switches, but I’m not crazy about the little delay that’s caused by the switch waiting to detect a double-tap, and I’m not finding a way to disable it. It’s a shame, ‘cause both <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/zwave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#zwave</a> and WiFi coms are really snappy. I will die mad about the aluminum wire in this house (and hopefully not -From- it!). Fortunately I’ve seen Noalox on any re-work, and I’m being super diligent about using it as well. I know there’s mixed feelings about <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/wago" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wago</a> connectors for line voltage. I’m going to keep an eye on them, but they were a lot easier than wire nuts, as specially since I didn’t have a lot of slack to work with. There was no way I could have crammed all this into a 2 gang box, and I’m glad I didn’t try.

Ety, Ringer of Bells ^GBefore I go old testament on this <a href="https://hive.institute/tags/ecobee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecobee</a> for dropping their API access, are there any known workarounds for integrating it with <a href="https://hive.institute/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a> without relying on <a href="https://hive.institute/tags/HomeKit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeKit</a> ?I have a basic stat that supports <a href="https://hive.institute/tags/ZWave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ZWave</a>, but would lose out on the remote probes feature which sadly I'm pretty invested in.Hmm, maybe someone has written a system to replicate the ecobee's remote probes features within HA using generic temperature sensors?Grateful for any suggestions.

kaybeeque 🍁💪💪🍁A nice roundup of home energy usage meters compatible with <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAssistant</a>.Both whole home and single phase systems covered. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ZWave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ZWave</a> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Zigbee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Zigbee</a> options, few WiFi/Ethernet.Note: double check how many phases are supported, some brands support multiple options in a single model, others have different models for the different options and others are non-NA.<a href="https://smarthomescene.com/top-picks/best-energy-meters-for-home-assistant/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://smarthomescene.com/top-picks/best-energy-meters-for-home-assistant/</a>

Put the dongle on an extension cable and place it at least 2m away from the rPi, especially if you have a plastic case 2. Start pairing with the closest mains-powered device and work your way outward 3. Only after all mains devices are in the mesh do you add battery ones. Add them where you're going to use them, not near the coordinator.
