Streamlined Automations, Bluetooth Everywhere, Weekly Schedules in Home Assistant 2022.9!

[@SmartHomeMakers]

Wow the new automations makes such a difference! Great video Chris!

[@mostlychris]

Thanks Gio! Welcome back from your hiatus.

Wow. I missed that Bluetooth news. Is it effectively mesh?

[@mostlychris]

Lol. I used that term in my upcoming video. Receiver "mesh".

[@louisviciedo]

Thanks for all that you do! I'm using the Olimex ESP32-POE-ISO and cannot get the power over ethernet. It does pick up my Bluetooth devices but I need to power it via the micro USB. Any thoughts?

[@mostlychris]

Possible that your POE device isn't supplying the correct type of POE output to power the device. Make sure they are both talking the same type of output.

How can I use the new schedule? I have a power switch i want to toggle on/off based on a schedule. Thanks so much for the video :)

[@NunoLeitaoTheEpiq]

yes, same question here. @mostlychris you presented the feature but you didn't show how to set an automation with it...

[@mostlychris]

I'm gonna need to do a video on this.

Home Assistant is cool... Nabu case not so much... Nabu is the babylonian god of wisdom... casa means house or home... Really want to declare your home to that... NOT ME... As for bluetooth, they strongly recommend running HA core... I use docker so I may not fiddle with it...
