I had been dreading finding a permanent install for my mmWave and humidity sensors. This is both lazy and functional and I love it. I will be doing this!

Do you need a Hub to operate this? Can you use it with out any hub?

I used an old ssf dell 9010 i7 pc with 16Gig of RAM i got off a local craiglist seller for 300$ca hooked up a WD book 8tb external HDD to it and a 1gb ssd internal hdd for the OS, the main OS is OpenMediaServer and i run my media streamer(jellyfin) and all my Arr apps through docker compose along with home assistant, SWAG for getting my free SSL cert and reverse proxies for the apps that are open to the outside net. phototropism for all my family photos and I only have maxed the system to about 45% of its capability all compartmentalized. If its your first time I def recommend going this route, even the older 3770 i7 chip can handle anything you throw at it with ease and the cost is not that much to other solutions, compared to what you are getting. it might be over kill for just HA but trust me you wont just be running HA once you get in to self hosting.

how tasmota is holding up , any issues, planning to wire my entire house by tasmota , just for the device group feature , also what do you think preflashed athom or Shelly's ???

Doesn’t this work with Pi3?

Lets see the Zigbee2MQTT now please! :)

How loud are they sound loud on the video ?

Ryobi has these awsome usb c rechargeable batteries now that would be great to go around charging the smart wing.

can a shelly switch talk to tasmota light bulb using webhooks, i really don't want to flash my shelly devices with tamsota , i just want my light bulb to work while home assistant is down

Thanks for the video. I am Italian and I had to watch the video with the Google translation, which is quite painful, but since you explain well and simply I was able to understand. Thanks again and have a nice day.

You know that SLZB-06 is based on ZigStar Firmware?

Thanks!

26:02 What about ikea stuff? They updated their lineup a few months ago using AAA batteries, no more coin batteries. Are they good?

Good timing as I'm currently considering upgrading my Conbee2.

I got one of those SMLight SLZB-06, however it arrived defective, wouldnt connect to my network. Got power over the POE port but no connection. Logged a support ticket, sent some logs and got a replacement. Funnily enough got the replacement and it is also defective, still no network connection, re-flashed a few times, if I set a static IP it says it is connected on the web portal (Connect via SLZB AP), but the port doesnt blink, I cant access it from the static IP I set and nothing on my router devices page either. Support now is saying it is possibly my network at fault as unlikely I got 2 defective devices. I shared some videos but no response now, guess that's 45$ down the drain. I searched online, quite a few folks with similar issues. I have a UZG-01 that works fine with POE, no issues at all, it however uses the P7 chip, there are still some quirks there. If anyone wants POE coordinator, that is what I will recommend for now and be vary with this SMLight, I know a few youtubers have given it the green light but my experience havent been great at all!

The ultimate "ready Out of the box" remote in terms of button count, would be something like a "FUT089Z" [ordered one myself, still have to get it, to test it out]

Cool shirt!

Thanks Travis, for all us rookies. Really want to see the Z2mqtt install. Have tried twice, failed twice. Reditt and HA Community suggestion are often contradictory and wrong. Show how to validate each step and things to do when it goes wrong. Lots of videos out there with perfect installations.

I see a merchandise opportunity for you Travis... Take your shit out th cloud y'all... digiblur T-shirts!!! Ready to buy one brother! 🤣

Great info Travis. Thank you.

So many beginner's guides.... Where are professional guides?! Just joking, great video. :)

Always a great video. Sonoff S40 ZB plugs are great. IKEA, Innr, and many other Zigbee 3.0 bulbs are great. I am replacing all my Sengled bulbs, even their ZB3.0 devices, because they are not repeaters.

In the UK Ikea is really good for remotes, bulbs and plugs. Cheap too.

WTF who cares about your favorites .... I want to know is the Best is ...... ;) Many thanks for all the content and a refresh for or just plain new people ... Take care ...

F the ☁️ 😄👍

It is clear we need to have a coordinator to manage our devices but it is not clear to me when we need also a router and why? thanks

hi have you tried SMLIGHT SLZB-07 ?

I have the P7 version. it took about a month to get to me but it's been great! migrating from a 2652p usb dongle took a bit for me to understand, but once I figured out how to clone the mac address my entire network connected. I use Z2M

Thanks for another great video!

I am currently using a Sonoff Dongle-E, so far had no issues for the last year. I know it's still a work in progress but it's been working fine but I honestly really like the SMLight, that's exactly what I have been looking for. Affordable, full support for Home Assistant and other protocols, WebUI and POE plus more, this is what I have been in search for.

24:34 I would recommend against rechargeable AAA batteries for zigbee stuff. Rechargeable AAA's have a nominal voltage of about 1.2V and alkaline AAA's have a nominal voltage of 1.5V. The lower voltage can cause problems with some devices. This voltage difference is the reason you often see "do not use with rechargeable batteries" written on some things. One problem I had was with a Zigbee radiator valve. The device detected the lower voltage as "low battery" and constantly gave me a lower power warning. When i put a regular alkaline battery in those problems went away.

Home Assistant Nuc, Zigbee over Matter with Hue Bridge and a Third Reality Smart Bridge MZ1.

HEy Maybe you can help me whe logging it shows "Authentication failed: Unexpected status code returned by SwitchBot API: 190" dont know why

Hi I'm going to do the same config but in case I think to take the Meshify 2XL (because better airflow) and with an i7-14700k or an i7-14700? (Because I'm afraid the cpu will heat up and the recommended what?

Great video thanks

Are there any shutter speed or gain adjustment as the ghosting looks terrible?

I can't run tuya-cloudcutter. It always kicks me out like so: ERROR: failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c apt-get -qq update && apt-get install -qy --no-install-recommends git hostapd rfkill dnsmasq build-essential libssl-dev iproute2 mosquitto" did not complete successfully: exit code: 100 Failed to build Docker image, stopping script I followed every other step exactly, using the recommended bullseye image for the pi 4.

This helped me out big time. Thanks for the help!

Nicely done! I have four of these, they all work great…electronically. Two of the four have awful mount problems, though. Their plastic bases are flawed, so I pinched a cardboard donut between those and their metal plates. Reolink is trying to help me, but I suspect I’ll have to live with the otherwise loose mounts.

Thank you for the video. With a recent ESPHome update for the smart plugs I get " Option 'variant' does not match selected board." board: esp32 variant: esp32c3 , commenting out variant fails to compile. (This config used to work for me) HARDWARE: ESP32C3 240MHz, 320KB RAM, 4MB Flash I found a fix that is working so far: change board to board: esp32-c3-devkitm-1

How is it that you badly score every feature of this product? It seems quite fishy. You literally are the outlier in absolutely 99% of the reviews in UKposts

Hi Travis, what about the new Emporia Vue 3 version, can that also flashed to esphome?

i just bought a FIREBAT AK2 PLUS MiniPC Intel N100 for 105 euro its seems much better than pi 5, thanks for the help

I think what you missed is the zoom in quality on the 3 is way better than the 2. When you digitally zoom you can read better at 25+ feet away especially motion

Thanks so much. Exactly what I was looking for. Just basing on specs, I think Switchbot is one of the most accurate, but some people complain about the screen not working after some time.

Great video, on something like the N95, how hard is it to get a google usb tpu frigate stick working, also 2 external spinning rust drives, one for frigate and another as a nas to share media for external kodi machines etc. Cheers, p.s, kids a great shot, handguns not allowed in UK unfortunately 😔

Hi, do you know the dimentions of the GU10 bulb? It says 50mm on the ali listing but 60mm on their website - and my fitting only takes a GU10

Easy simple and very fast.. Answer is yes if you have good internet.

Another option is an Asrock N100DC-ITX motherboard in a small itx case with an external DC power supply. You'll have a RAM slot and a PCI-E slot. And the boards are relatively cheap.
