Just spent the last several hours working on my Home Assistant install learning about HACS and getting my Schlage Encode Plus door lock working.

Only to find out that the integration has been officially integrated into Home Assistant Core and will be part of the 2023.09 update which comes out in a matter of days.

Hours of my life that could have been saved if I had just started reading the support thread at the end instead of the beginning.

On the bright side, got most of my Nanoleaf essentials stuff added and did my first set of automations with them. So that’s good.

Reminder: Don't use offbrand 3M tape to hang things up. It will inevitably fall off the wall in a loud thud. #Nanoleaf

Starting to wonder if switching to #HomeAssistant or similar tools for "driving" #HomeKit would make my set of #Nanoleaf RGB lightstrips slightly less flaky. Eg trying to set (or save as a 'Scene’) specific colors via the Home app only works like half the time 😩

(Once I have such a Scene working, it works pretty reliably, it's the configuration step that's half-baked, and which I _assume_ is much easier with an open source tool. OTOH ISTR hearing Hass is very hostile to config management 🤦🏻‍♂️)

A useful background discussion of Matter and Thread at home, as well as some comments on lighting and HomeKit. #OverViewOfMatter #Thread #Matter #Lighting #NanoLeaf #HomeAutomation #SmartHome #MacVoices23159 #MacVoices #MacVoices2023 #VideoPodcast #Technology #Essentials #HomeKit #ThreadBorderRouting #Mesh #NetworkFabric https://mastodon.cloud/@chuckjoiner/110459213709329092

Things I did during my holiday weekend, part one: set up the second half of the #Nanoleaf Elements lights for my office.

I don’t know of y’all are having issues, but 16.4 doesnt seem to be working well with my Apple Home. 🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️🤦🏼‍♂️ I’ve done reboots and resets and nothing seems to last.

#Caturday dance party on a #NanoLeaf.

Now *I* have a Hexfield Viewscreen! #MST3K #Nanoleaf #HomeKit

Really impressed with #NanoLeaf support. Logged a ticket about a faulty controller, got a response from a human within 1 minute. Got a confirmation that a replacement is being sent out 35 minutes after that.

Recently I saw a post from @shanselman where he was mentioning tips & tricks of his #DIY office.

It’s a while since I have been thinking about some #lighting of living room, going though different #LED strips and ideas.

So is it necessary? Definitely not. Here’s my solution. Two #Nanoleaf Lightbulbs (each max 20$), added some wiring (max 3$) and results seems to be pretty nice. Done within 10mins, no glue, no 3M tape, easy placing. So, what do you think?

Finally got my backordered "flex linkers" for the #nanoleaf, making some headway on my #synthwave office setup. Music: Lost not found by #Kalax

Got a set of Nanoleaf strip lights for my office desk. Nicely illuminates the wall behind and adds a bit of light on these dark winter days. One pic shows the sun match - replicates the colour temp of the sun throughout the day. The other is set to Hover's colour (#229e87). It can match the screen colours too, but that feels weird. #HomeKit #Nanoleaf

I’m a big fan of #Nanoleaf, a very creative Canadian company. They announced very interesting new products at #ces2023 | https://www.macrumors.com/2023/01/03/nanoleaf-ces-2023/

The next set of #nanoleaf lines are up on the wall! They're keeping the mood just right in my office.
