Currently SLZB-06M and Reolink RLC-810K cam. During my professional life I got to use a few POE devices, never a failure.

@Archer
I still have Multiprotocol on SkyConnect, but only a dozen devices. Still didn’t bother to reconfigure.

@domi
ZHA with 50+ devices from Ikea, Aqara, Frient and Hue over SLZB-06M. Works flawlessly.

@early_riser
Considering the fact that just like Apple Home, HA dashboards strip the first part of the display name if it’s identical to the area name, I use the „area device“ convention. So „Bathroom Leak Moisture“ is displayed as „Leak Moisture“ under the area „Bathroom“.
Furthermore HA allows to recreate entity Ids after renaming a device resulting in: „binary_sensor.bathroom_leak_moisture“.
So if I move my sensor to another location, I simply rename it to „Attic Leak „.

@CAVOK
I have two HAOS installations with MQTT as well as ZHA. Mosquito being an add-on, as far as I know it’s a container anyway but ZHA and MQTT are normal integrations and I never have any issues. Generally speaking I always try to stick with what the developers suggest, in my eyes it’s the best strategy to avoid messing up with dependencies as they take care of those.

According to Nabu Casa sales of Yellow went too low to justify the launch of a new production batch.

@southernbrewer
I‘m not a Home brewer but three of our fridges get the same treatment as their primitive „thermostats„ are so crappy. Two simply were either too cold or not cold enough with a ridiculous amount of variation while the third one, an outdoor fridge-freezer combo has the thermostat in the fridge compartment and during cool nights sees no need to cool while the freezer compartment gets close to thawing.

@okamiueru
For over one year now Homeassistant has been reliably announcing the end of the cycle by flashing all smart lights in RV before switching them back to their original state. What i like most is the fact that with the same reliability the washer beeps thirty seconds later.

@KyuubiNoKitsune
I use cheap Aqara sensors, in fridge battery hold several months, but in freezer I have to replace them every two months. Attenuation seems to be less of a problem, at least since I switched to Homeassistant with central coordinator and my Ikea ceiling lights in virtually every room act as repeaters. I the beginning I had separate hubs for each ecosystem and consequently 4 poor Zigbee networks.

@paraphrand
My mothers Miele does it.

@Amberskin
On Pi5 no need for SD it boots and runs perfectly well from SSD.

@tofubl
These are all smartplugs and I confirm that behavior with those i have, they are great for energy metering but not real time power monitoring .
The Shellys I use are those: https://www.shelly.com/products/shelly-pro-4pm

@tofubl
With EspHome you can easily report only changes that are above a defined threshold:

sensor:
- platform: adc
pin: GPIO34
name: “ADC Sensor”
update_interval: 10s # read every 10s
filters:
- delta: 0.05 # only report if change ≥ 0.05

@tofubl
I use smart plugs frm EVE and ONVIS and both show the behavior you describe.
On the other hand I have several Shelly EM respectively PM and those reliability report any change virtually immediately.
In my RV I even use a Pro4 PM to manage the 10Amp breaker: Electrical heating draws roughly 8 Amps so when the toaster or coffee maker are switched on the breaker would fire after a few secs. ->

@RvTV95XBeo
I can tell you from experience where I forgot a delay, yes it does, depending on hardware of course.

@corsicanguppy
Tell us that you have no idea how many flavors of Linux there are in the wild, each one with its own set of dependencies and bugs without using those words.

Nobody is paying Nabu Casa to validate their packages for a gazillion Linux declinations, we rather like them to pay their developers to work for all the users rather than for a 0.01%er with yet another exotic setup.

@lemming741
Absolutely!

If your first priority is having a Supervised Debian 11install.

I wanted to have Home Assistant in my house and my RV and my perspective is more like using it like an appliance, as I still had a Raspberry 3 lying around, i downloaded an HA-OS imageand was up and running within minutes. Once I was convinced that it was what I needed I went for the Pi 5 with SSD.
So 10/10 for me.

@RandomLegend
Just be aware that the battery powered Reolinks generally don’t support RTSP and rely on the app or a Reolink NVR.

Don’t open the blinds as long as there is someone in bed?

@thehatfox
It builds on IPV6, so any medium capable of transporting IPV6 can potentially be used.
