zigbee mesh networks are underrated. Cheap sensors, rock-solid reliability, zero cloud dependency, and they run for 2 years on a single AA battery. While your Wi-Fi bulbs are rebooting, my lights just work. 💡

Me at 2am: "I'll just quickly add one more Zigbee sensor, it'll take 5 minutes."
Me at 4am: re-pairing 23 devices, questioning my life choices, and reading a forum thread from 2019.

Screenshot of my Home Assistant dashboard showing all 4 of my power monitor smart plugs. It shows the fridge using about 60 watts of power, my desktop PC using 180 watts, my room lamps using 20 watts, and my network equipment using 15 watts. Each card is a line graph, so you can see the power usage over time.

Screenshot of a Home Assistant dashboard graph showing computer power draw vs fridge power draw. What's neat is you can see the fridge power going up to 50 watts for 20 minutes and then dropping to near 0 watts, for another 20 minutes. Also shown is my computer power usage which fluctuates between 200 watts and 150 watts.

Photo of the box of ThirdReality smart plugs. This is the 3rd generation, and is a box of 4 plugs. The other box is the Sonoff Dongle Plus MG24, which is a USB plug with an antenna. It's compatible with Home Assistant and Zigbee2MQTT, and I guess it works with the Thread protocol too.

I've been wanting to monitor my energy usage. Some time back I asked Mastodon about favorite smart plugs, and the ones that use #Zigbee seem to be preferred.

After @geerlingguy did a review on the new ThirdReality smart plugs, I finally bought a few, along […]

The Dongle Max is called "MAX" for a reason.

Zigbee and Z-Wave build mesh networks.
More devices = stronger network.
Which means faster automations and fewer “why didn’t anything happen?” moments.

I just set up my first #matter based #smarthome devices! I've been using a bunch of #zigbee stuff in the past, but today I configured a proprietary smart home controller as a matter bridge so now I can properly use all devices under it in #homeassistant. Works pretty well, I like it!

Didn't want to necrobump this thread but THANK YOU to this person.

Moved my sensors from ZHA to Zigbee2MQTT as you do on a Friday night... they were all LQI (low signal) and onereally slow in the hallway. Oh dear, was this a bad move?

12, 40, really low. The front door had a delay to fire the […]

3 humidity sensors on a shelf reading different readings!

I calibrated these hygrometers and now I'm even more confused.

Over 24 hours in the calibration bag the bigger one read 71% and the cheap white one from Poundland read 77& - interestingly closer. The bag has salts to provide 75% humidity so that's the target […]
