Hobbyblogging.de<p>Eine Sache, die Home Assistant übrigens um Welten besser macht als ioBroker ist die Zuordnung von Automationen zu Geräten. 🙏 Diese schlichte Information, in welchen Automationen ein Gerät enthalten ist, kann so viele Minuten an Suchen ersparen. Insbesondere bei einer großen Menge von Automationen. ⚙️ Heute konnte ich so zum Beispiel innerhalb von Minuten eine passende Automation finden und anpassen. Ohne langes Suchen! Was ein Glück! 🍀 <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HomeAssistant</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IoBroker" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IoBroker</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/SmartHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SmartHome</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Automation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Automation</span></a></p>

I need the <a href="https://mastodon.org.uk/tags/playstore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>playstore</span></a> version of the companion app. Otherwise I'm sold on it for future home automation devices.</p>
Yehor 🇺🇦<p>Realized I’m not really interested in <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/HomeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HomeAssistant</span></a> anymore. I’m tired of maintaining it and trying to make a new “perfect” dashboard once in several months just to realize I can do better with other set of custom cards and scripts… Looks like it’s not my hobby anymore. I want something rock solid like <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/SynologyNAS" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>SynologyNAS</span></a>, for example.

It just works.<br />I’m planning to try <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/AppleHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AppleHome</span></a> and <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/HomeBridge" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>HomeBridge</span></a>.</p><p>Thanks <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@pax0707" class="u-url mention">@<span>pax0707</span></a></span>!</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>homelab</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/smarthome" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>smarthome</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/hobby" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>hobby</span></a></p>
