#GoodMorning! I’ve had a little sleep last night, because I’ve rolled a dice on changing #Zigbee network channel… They do warn you it’s experimental feature.
It’s been previously running on channel 11, which is in fact a shitshow, as there are up to 100 2.4GHz networks around here…
Switched to 25.
FORTUNATELY, most of the devices did migrate, leaving me with only a few stubborn switches.
It seems to be working more reliably. Fingers crossed!
Von den Grundlagen über's messen & testen kommen wir als nächstes zum #loraahamm Sub-Topic "Integrate-them-all". Idee: #FreiFunk und #LoRaWAN , #homeassistant (#zigbee) & #EMS (#modbus) über einen Multiprotocol Router / Gateway zu bespielen.
Haben dazu mal sechs Lösungsansätze raus gesucht:

Was meint ihr? Lieber Router/Gateway ergänzen oder nen NUC from scratch aufbauen (6)?
The SLZB-06M is a Zigbee coordinator with Ethernet, PoE, and web UI — well-suited for Home Assistant (ZHA) and advanced use cases.
This article covers its architecture, integration options, and how to enable Zigbee traffic sniffing via Wireshark.

@abhayakara Hi,
Nah, I’m good, but thanks for the offer. I’m going to replace HomeKit devices with Zigbee either way because I have 3 thermostats and only one is Matter.
#Zigbee has been nice to me, is not bound to one platform and I can do a lot more in there, still being able to push supported features to HomeKit through a bridge.
I only had issues with 2 products to be honest. Mentioned HomeKit and Sonos - both are vlan sensitive…
In the end I had to reset #Eve #EveThermo to factory settings to add it again.
OF COURSE I have forgotten my #network is segmented and you cannot pair a fucking #HomeKit device if your #AppleTV and #iPhone are in different vlans…
Also, #HomeAssistant #Matter support is also restricted by vlans and it all has to be one subnet…
Matter was supposed to be easy and universal…
Well… My only #ThreadOverMatter enabled #EveThermo has gone offline yet again for reasons unknown to me. Of course there are no meaningful logs available for HomeKit… No wait… I haven’t seen ANY logs whatsoever…
I’m replacing that shit on the next pay day with a #Zigbee thermostat…
If your #zigbee integration in the current #HomeAssistant doesn't work anymore and you run #zigbee2mqtt , try restarting the latter. It fixed it for me.

LOL… In my excitement, I’ve presented the graphs to my Wife and I was instantly bashed for the TV playing all night… #GoodMorning #Zigbee #HomeAssistant #HomeIT #SmartHome
#GoodMorning! The sun is rising in the world of small people, so let them have fun! Little Franek decided to spend his savings on a second hand Playmobil set yesterday and he loves it!
Damn, we did not have toys like that when we were kids…
We do have other toys, though. Yesterday I’ve installed a sketchy #Zigbee device to with power monitoring clamps, so I can look at more stats and graphs…
The device is Zemismart SDM01 and works with #HomeAssistant with a ZHA quirk…
Im Juni habe ich #Homeassistant als #Proxmox #VM aufgesetzt und nach und nach alle möglichen Geräte mittels #ModbusTCP (#Wechselrichter, #Speicher), #EVCC / #MQTT (#Wallbox), #Tasmota (#Stromzöhler) und #Zigbee (#Energiemessgeräte) integriert. Es schien kurzzeitig alles zu funktionieren bzw. hat auch funktioniert.
Allerdings - wie schon berichtet - war vor ein paar Tagen plötzlich der ganze Config-Ordner (/homeassistant) leer und damit alle #Daten weg.
Ich habe dann das Proxmox #Backup von vor dem Crash zurückgespielt und höndisch die seit dem Backup fehlenden Daten für den #Photovoltaik Ertrag ergänzt.
EVCC hat für die Wallbox eine Entität "sensor.evcc_loadpoint_warp3_total_charged_energy" erzeugt, die aber in HA selbst nicht für Statistiken nutzbar ist (sie wird nicht zur Auswahl angezeigt). Also habe ich eine #Hilfsentität angelegt:
template:
- sensor:
- name: geladene Energiemenge (gesamt) mit Einheit
unique_id: geladene_energiemenge_gesamt_mit_einheit
device_class: Energy
state_class: total_increasing
unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
state: "{{ states('sensor.evcc_loadpoint_warp3_total_charged_energy') | float(0) }}"

Ich denke mal der größte Vorteil von #ZWave gegenüber #Zigbee ist die Nutzung des ISM/SRD-Frequenzbandes.
Viele Standards und damit massenhaft Geräte tummeln sich bei 2.4 GHz und verstopfen damit regelrecht den Funk.
Hinzu kommen die oft besseren Reichweiten, die sich z.B. auch bei #HomematicIP zeigen.
Ein Nachteil ist für viele der Kostenfaktor, der eher zugunsten Zigbee neigt.

One more note!
While smart home stuff can seem intimidating/overwhelming at first, it's really no worse than what most people already know.
If we compare:
With:
It's not really any worse, and like, if someone already gets the idea of a display cable adapter, a smart home bridge isn't that far of a leap
One of my "core" beliefs is that technology exists to make our lives easier. So I've tried my best to make every purchase that's "smart home" related, something that solves a pre-existing (so I don't go looking for new ones...) problem.
Whether this set of purchases, the smart lights I've accumulated, so I no longer leave the lights on for days because I straight up forget to turn them off (ADHD) or some other purchase...
It's always there to make my life easier
Why these devices specifically?
Because I can now create automations that turn on the airco and air-purifier based on both forecasted and real-time temperature and air quality.
This should help with my (3) medical conditions that are affected by heat and (2) affected by poor air quality
