Coder, photographer, grump. Average Home theater nut.
Been at programming professionally since 2007, currently trying to get to keep doing it rather than getting stuck in meetings. Once was Java, dabbled in Android (Floating Image notable mention), now focused on C# and Azure. Clean, maintainable code and doing the right things right is my jazz (or techno or metal).
Posts in Danish if only relevant to Denmark, English if relevant generally.
Don’t be rude, follow basic netiquette.
@bdonvr @aksdb One zigbee device replaced by a thread device means that one node is removed from the zigbee network, making it smaller. Since it’s a mesh network it will become less robust as a result. Likewise, the initial thread network will be very sparsely populated until a sufficient amount of devices has been added to it.
@HiTekRedNek @shortwavesurfer That’s actually a good idea. We can go for days, sometimes weeks without checking the mailbox (it only gets ads). I wonder if there is a way to detect if the mail box contains mail, so it would just be a “You got mail” state, rather than "someone peeked into the mailbox.
Otherwise a two-sensor setup. One for incoming mail (Perhaps triggered by something being pushed through the slot), one for when the mailbox is opened, to reset the state.
@gedaliyah A related question: We have an alarm.com installation, and I would like to know if it is possible to reuse their hardware on home assistant, or if that’s just too proprietary to use for anything. They are all wired.
