Omg I could kiss you. Reddit has been an excellent bullshit filter for google but the blackouts made it tough.
For sure. I would honestly love to not but I work from home so it’s easy to watch a movie and wait for a teams notification if I’m needed :)
Hate to say it but they never will… I think they’re still holding out hope they can rebuild their own client. The 117 debacle was entirely because they were planning their client revamp.
I am using iOS. The ones I bought are very generic, I will try to find an Amazon link and report back. There’s very little difference between versions so I think just about any would work with both type!
I don’t see why not? I can engage the mod over there.
Definitely curious, how do you set these up and what do you recommend getting?
With iPhone shortcuts, you don’t actually read anything off the tag, it just recognizes it and runs a shortcut that calls a home assistant entity (least that’s how I do it).
Yeah, your edit definitely got it. Looking back in time, if I knew what I know now when I bought all my devices, I would’ve gone exclusively zigbee. Faster, extremely reliable and they expand and remap to each other automatically. I’ve slowly started replacing my non zigbee stuff with em.
Since this is pretty straight forward, I think most any “single click” Zwave switch would work? I love IKEAs stuff but I think it’s mostly Zigbee.
Me too, home assistant integration in google is lackluster to say the least. I think it’s mostly Google’s fault but even just like devices not showing their correct state is pretty annoying…
I figure for the sake of visibility, leaving it the same would make it easiest for folks to find.
I actually use iOS but I’ve had phones on both sides of the aisle several times in the last 15 years. I work in cybersec and android excels at that kind of thing. Infinitely more power to access systems, use terminal, pull up ip based webpages, and a far more comprehensive app suite to do so. Personally, I’ve just found iOS more stable in my day to day but I have an android tablet for best of both worlds.
