So you use the free thing wrong, don’t RTFM, vent on internet and then vent some more when corrected? What’s your end game?

good

Looks like an user error to me. Influx is for long-term storage of history and data, you don’t need it for automation at all.

Absolutely wrong. I have dozens of devices integrated, from a lot of brands, all working. You can of course try to get a turnkey solution from like Loxone, but be prepared to pay thousands of dollars, and good luck adding anything that’s not in their ecosystem. And there’s a lot of that. And what is there is all pretty outdated.

Xiaomi is great and I use a lot of their stuff, but the options for automation are severely limited.

Thanks!

I expose my devices to Homekit and use Homekit widgets.

I want that! What is it?
