I got a Google Nest E thermostat off eBay from a charity shop for £12 and wired it in to where my old dumb dial thermostat was.
My ZigBee thermostats are just my ZigBee motion and door sensors that also have a temperature element.
I turned off the Nest smarts in Nest, and had HA come up with average temperatures for the whole house using the ZigBee things, then recreates the smarts in HA.
The Nest E smarts stopped working 6 months later but the heat link still worked, so I bought another off eBay for £20 and paired that.
I am gonna just get some ZigBee temp sensors at some point, but this works well enough for now.
Chrome: I know everything about every web page I have ever seen but don’t understand it.
So I don’t understand how to play a song.
YouTube: I know everything in the video from the thumbnail.
Closer, but I have to rely on the people on YouTube knowing wtf they’re talking about, meaning I gain knowledge about a lot of shit, and incorrect knowledge too
So the Spotify one, combined with the knowledge I already have of music, makes more sense for learning music.
I currently have a ring doorbell that I pay a yearly fee for but I want to get away from Amazon and a subscription fee. I would prefer if it used the Wi-Fi and it was able to connect with my house doorbell. Edit: I’d also like to add that I would like it to have the ability to stream and record video.
I really like getting a notification that someone is at the door when I’m out. Yeah maybe it would be better with a video or picture, but I paid less than a fiver for it, including shipping from fucking China
By their own book, the bad guy thought the stupid naked people should have a bit of an education and the good guy punished them for trying to improve their knowledge base. Serpents rule!
I was taught in school that the real battle in the universe is between chaos and order. They gave it a fancy name, Entropy, but that was the gist.
So Chaos is God and Order is Satan. Live all hunter gathering under God or just go to the Supermarket under Satan, and spend the rest of your time doing other things, like making art or scientific theories.
Even now the Church is against progress. Don’t let them Gays get married for fucks sake, the world will explode.
My wife has crippling Endometriosis so I’ve always been the one that’s not hurting, but I feel like a whiney little bitch when I am in pain just because she’s living with lifelong pain.
Her loss is my gain though, she gets the strong pain killers, so if I have half her dose I’m getting twice the over the counter dose.
I’m 40 next year. This year I’ve switched jobs after 16 years of mainly sitting in a chair looking at synchroniser rings for gear boxes.
The new job has a lot more lifting involved and no chairs. I’ve had so many aches in my back, shoulders and right limbs since I started.
This week I picked something heavy up and put it down on a bottom shelf. My back popped. I saw stars. My brain felt a bit funny for an hour or so afterwards.
Luckily I managed to pop the disc back by hanging by my arms from a low bar, and massaging the hurt muscles.
Lift with your legs, not your back!
I too feel like this meme is a decade early, but I do feel the meme.
If only they taught us in school how to take care of our bodies, our feelings, our minds, our relationships, our communities and our environment…
I cannot agree more. I went a bit mental last year, debilitating anxiety, and did a course on how to manage it. At the same time my eldest kid was starting Big School and suffering exactly the same thing, so I spent my time teaching him the things I was learning.
They’re much better in schools (at least in the UK) now with mental health, he had daily check ins with the mental health first aider or some such, which I really appreciated because there was fuck all like that in my day, when men were men and everyone had Polio (I jest)

Can anyone recommend a wireless doorbell that works with home assistant?
