wow, very cool features 🤩 thanks for the video 💪

Hey Simon are you going to be getting anymore remotes in I was wondering if you would do a comparison between the different remotes and show how they integrate and work with Home assistant

😊

I purchased the photodiode linked in the description. Maybe a stupid question but which side of the sensor is the active surface? Is it the top? (opposite side of the pins)

Sooooo... CAN it run a home assistant?

Needs Echo support, i have them all over the house, once that happens then this will be a must have for me!

❓4:33 I also created player-groups. Is it somehow possible to change how the groupe-volume influences the individual volumes? Example: How it behaves right now. Group = vol.60 -> vol.30 (60-30) Player1 = vol.80 -> vol.50 (80-30) Player2 = vol.40 -> vol.10 (40-30) (So it's by addition/subtraction of the volume.) ❗Example: How I want it to behave: Group = vol.60 -> vol.30 (60/2) Player1 = vol.80 -> vol.40 (80/2) Player2 = vol.40 -> vol.20 (40/2) (So it's by multiplication/division of the volume.) BECAUSE than the relative volume relative to eachother is kept equal! So if I have 2 speakers in opposite corners, I sit closer to Player2 and I have adjusted their volume so they sound for this position equally loud they still sound equally loud with multiplication/division but NOT with addition/subtraction. I hope it's understandable what I mean. Can someone give me some ideas or help how to achieve this? Thank you all very much!

But does it work with only a local network without the cloud server?

CX810 Vs RLC 811A (Zoomx5 optic) . Which is king ? 4K

Although this information is correct, it is no true that the device will stick to that router. After a while the coordinator will chose a different path and ruin all the work done. I've spent lots of time and money to do exactly this. Added a router in every room, connected devices to the nearest one and after a couple of days a mess again. The truth is that Zigbee and the battery powered devices ARE NOT reliable at all. If you want to use them you know that once every couple of months you need to pair again the device, and do not bother to add it to the closest router, it won't last a day.

Unfortunately Spotify not working for me, found my username and added password, worked once now rejected. Looked under spotify online showed as Kodi, removed, now re-adding spotify rejects username and password even with a password change. Also tried on a clean instance of HA. Shame any ideas anyone? p.s use standard spotify login not facebook

Will this control the Sonos Ray? Thanks

If you ran the HACS version do you have to uninstall it before getting this? Last time I tried this it was a bit of a PITA to remove and get out of my project to be honest. I ended up turning it off then ignoring the updates that kept popping up. It would definitely need to be less beta than the HACS version which promised a lot but failed to deliver IMO.

Anyone using homepod and facing problem that aong not play via homepod ?

Err.. Did I get it wrong or despite the title of the video, in the last 15 seconds you just say "it doesn't work with Home Assitant"?

Until now, it can't replace the harmony. Switchbot doesn't get the point of the harmony idea. We need scenes with completely free configurable remote Profile. For example, volume will control the avr Receiver while Ch-up and Ch-down will send the specific IR Signal to the TV, within the same Remote Profile. Also, when switching between scenes that include different Hardware, like cinema Mode that makes use of a projector, the logic doesn't know to switch that projector off and roll up the projector screen when switching back to TV Mode... I have the remote here but nothing yet available will solve that problems. Lets hope for some good Updates though...

So what’s the difference between this native add on and the music assistant HACS integration?

Cool video, it works really well with Sonos speakers.

Is there a way to integrate Amazon Music? We have only that because our Amazon Echos on Spotify don't support multiple accounts (only one playback is possible) whereas AM supports up to 5 simultaneous playbacks.

Hey Simon. EX SA here in Thames NZ. What about Echo speakers?

Another Great video Simon I’m listening to Radio 702 Take me back a few years😂

This is amazing. I was just wanting something like this in home assistant. Thank you so much for this video.

It wont link no matter what i do help me please

how can you choose that title, then never once show it playing Doom?

Hi Simon thanks for the video! I'm doing this exact project I was wondering did you use the outputs on the shelly to power the sensor? I can't find how many amps the sensor uses anywhere so im not sure if its under 300mA

Bought it - not working via zigbee2Mqtt

Does it make SmartTags visible over Matter?

I see, I am now the only one not being able to use the remote from Home Assistant. Glad to hear it, eager to fully use it! Thanks for the video!

Received mine today, pretty disappointing all round. In setup, getting Wi-fi enabled took many attempts. Never had this issue with other ESP32 devices. Wake-word detection is very hit-or-miss. Takes multiple attempts before it responds. It takes about 5secs to turn on a light, Google Assistant is basically instant. Speaker is almost inaudible.

Is there a way to flash bt firmware back to a zigbee one without owning a zigbee gateway? Thanks

Hi Simon, after giving up on this a year ago :-) I have revisited it due to the imminent arrival of my ESY32 S3 Box3 and hopefully voice commands! Still getting an issue tho, after setting up the Remote: Send command and then calling the service I get the following error.... Failed to call service remote.send_command. Unknown error Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong? Thanks. Pat

Seems like there's a version 3 now

It's real buggy Nabu Casa needs to produce a piece of voice hardware and support it! Just MO!

dam you made me buy one

Didnt like the forced terms of service change on my reolink doorbell... Since you already are setup with home assistant did you need to use the reolink app at all to add or set this new cam up?

Interestingly, being able to change the color of a line chart based on the value (i.e. "color_threshold") is a feature not present in Plotly.

What can i do if the leared ir signal is not accepted by my device. I also tried the switchbot universal renote hub and it didn't work either. It's just a basic remote for a gas heater with on off up and down.

Thanks for this video, I find it to be very helpful 😀 I think this is just what I was looking for. More detailed and nicer looking graphs than what Home Assistant delivers out of the box, and easy to set up it seems. Was looking into Graphana and setting up up a separate database for it and such. But it would be overkill and quite a hassle to set up for a noob like me (5+ years of using Home Assistant, but still... 😂) Will try to set up graphs with my CO² sensors and see what beautiful comes out of it 🙂

Tried using it with Tuya local (not local tuya which is far worse)? Often supports more devices but also offers more entities to each device and biggest plus: It's local!

Try putting esphome on it and ditch Tuya.

Awesome. About an hour ago I was at bunnings, picked this up, gave it a good think and put it back down. This confirms my fears of it. Thanks.
