Major appreciation for the contributor who got humidifiers working in VeSync!
Anyone able to reach the new Bluetooth configuration panel? I’m using an ESPHome Bluetooth proxy and the configuration button isn’t showing up.
This release is less of a priority to me.
I don’t use AI stuff or Voice stuff in my setup and most of the additions, fixes and improvements are related to those two.
More backup options is cool, although I only use local backups anyway.
I have no idea how anyone lives without Voice Control, particularly for lights.
Automations…
That’s the answer commonly given but I don’t understand how automation can handle the ad hoc nature of life. Here’s some examples, maybe you could explain how this works for you?
- Watching TV and I’d like the lights dimmed or turned off.
- Finished putting laundry away and laid down to go to bed.
- Someone left the kitchen and the light is still on. I want it turned off without having to get up from the couch and I don’t want to wait for the motion timer to expire.
- Someone is coming over, say Pizza delivery, and I want the exterior lights to go back to full bright before they arrive.
The easiest is probably a motion/presence sensor. When there is no movement, turn off the lights. When there is movement, turn the lights on, if it’s dark.
