  • I’m really thinking about starting from scratch. The rabbit hole kind of scares me but at the same time it’s exciting 😂.

    I think I have room to grow in the new home and I always try to get things with local integration and as open source as possible.

    My setup right now is in a small flat, with 3 or 4 automations and a very small amount of sensors. The new home is going to be very very different. I have a lot of plans, maybe too many of them. So maybe staying from scratch is the way to go.

    Thanks for your input









  • Same here, I’ve been using an aqara ZigBee sensor for more than two years and it works great.

    I designed 3d printed rain proof enclosure and it’s been reporting outdoor temperature and humidity for more than two years with no problem.

    The worst part for me is the changing the battery. The sensor is on a hard to reach place and my design is not the best, so I fear when the battery gets low.

    I was planning to build something like this for the rain.
