@paninid fast forward to the present and scientists who barely study #philosophy label #metaphysics as #pseudoscience (forgetting what #PhD means), torment #logic for the benefit of "elegant" #math equations (e.g. antimatter, dark #matter), and design #AI #systems that weaponize #ethics as justification for #information #censorship (#ChatGPT "knows" but refuses to answer how to a hot wire a car or commit murder while claiming no #opinion, ignorant that words and actions are different)

I'm automating stuff at the family farm using #homeassistant ; lights, smoke alarms, stove fire preventers, heaters.

It's inspiring to see so many iot devices support #ZigBee but also infuriating that 50% of the ones I've encountered has something fucky with their zigbee implementation. It's also somewhat concerning that the mains-connected zb router devices I've found will drop off immediately when the power goes out. The thought of not getting alerts about a fire in the barn if the power's out, concerns me.

I've got my eye on #matter , but I can't find compatible smoke alarms in Norway (so I can be confident they comply with local regulations, and return them if they're bad), and only limited reviews of ones available from abroad.

I see there's matteralpha.com/category/smoke and community.home-assistant.io/t/ but idk.

Can anyone recommend a mains-powered zigbee router device with a built-in battery, that'll keep it routing for at least 1 hour if it loses power?

Alternatively, a small (max 20*10*10cm) #ups that'll power a zb router or other tiny device for 1 hour? #NUT #networkUpsTools compatibility is a big plus

Matter Is the Reason I'm Finally Comfortable With Smart Homes

Matter is a cross-platform standard for all things smart home. It allows devices to work with a variety of smart home ecosystems.

All the major companies are on board with the Matter standard including Apple, Google, Amazon, Samsung, and the Zigbee Alliance.

#homeassistant integration recommendation of the day:

"This project simulates bridges to publish your entities from Home Assistant to any Matter-compatible controller like Alexa, Apple Home or Google Home. Using Matter, those can be connected easily using local communication without the need of port forwarding etc."

I am not using this integration myself, as I don't own any #Matter devices (yet?). But I read many good things about it. Seems to be one of a kind.

Home Assistant Announces Official Matter Certification
allthethings.best/home-assista
Home Assistant has achieved certification from the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) for its implementation of the Matter protocol, marking a significant milestone as the first open-source project to receive such recognition. The certification reflects the capability of open-source projects to match or surpass leading technology companies in delivering quality smart home experiences.

Fred og ro

Er det noen på #Norsktut som er gode på smarte hjem løsninger? Ser på åpne standard løsninger som #Zigbee og #Matter

Målet er å komme til hvor jeg kan styre alt remote med et sikkert alarm og video opplegg, og temperatur målinger, dørlås, varmtvannstank og varmepumpe.

Hva bruker folk til dette?

Jeg ønsker ikke type Verisure eller Sector Alarm, eller andre som "låser meg inne" i deres økosystem.

I was agonizing over how I was going to give my family access to the Matter devices I installed because I didn't think they'd want to learn yet another home automation app (Home Assistant), and then I realized that Matter has a Multi-Admin feature.

Huh. :blobfoxthinkgoogly:​ I think I like this protocol. *plunks them into Google Home*

Also, I'll stop rambling about home automation stuff some day I swear. :blobfoxinnocentcute:​
