What smart wall dimmers are you using?
  • This is good to know, I have a whole home Insteon setup now, will probably have to replace it at some point since they went under...

    I replaced a few switches with a Zooz Z-Wave switch. It's fast enough but it's paired with ZigBee lights, so I have to use a #HomeAssistant automation to sync up the dimming. Not ideal so I didn't replace any more switches yet.

  • Outdoor Temperature Sensor
  • I use this one: https://www.aqara.com/us/temperature_humidity_sensor.html

    If you already have ZigBee setup it's easy to use these, if not maybe look for something else.

  • 2023.6.1 is instable
  • I had to look it up because I wasn't sure. According to what I found you should enable logger in your configuration.yaml

    The default is to log warnings, you'll want to put:
    logger
    default: info

    Or something similar to the above. Then when it crashes you'll want to take the SD card to another computer before HA boots back up and look at the /config/home-assistant.log file. On boot it clears that file is why you want to read it before it boots again.

    Hopefully that helps

  • Anything in the logs? I've been on 6.1 since the day after it was released without issue.

  • Filament Dryers
  • With all the rain we've been getting the past month I'll probably need a dryer too... I heard an oven works pretty well in a pinch.

  • What are your favorite automations?
  • Ahh got it, I'm trying to avoid any cloud integrations, but these air purifiers look nice. The Dyson one I had never would connect and it was supposed to be local... Of course the fan stopped working after 24 hours anyway so I returned that thing. I'll order one and see how it goes!

  • Reload UI error on Android app
  • @yesterdayshero
    I haven't seen that one. Usually clearing my cache and forcing the app to stop resolves all my issues.

    I hadn't heard of the Mila air purifiers, how well does the HACS integration work? I might pick a few of these up! #HomeAssistant
