Another rule of thumb - i know it's not always the best since some products are really nice aesthetically - is to buy only local smart stuff, for example, zigbee/zwave.
- petepete 2mo agoI live by this rule*. Being able to pick up stuff from IKEA that's well supported, well designed and really affordable is a huge advantage. *almost, I have two things that need an app. My Vaillant boiler and my Yale alarm system. Both apps are terrible, but I have a 10 year warranty on the boiler and my alarm is up to scratch from a home insurance point of view.**
- tehlike 2mo agoYale alarm? Can you link? Vailant boiler - I wonder if there's a debug interface you can use. Not knowing specifics of your model, i foudn this: https://github.com/jayme-github/esphome_vaillant https://github.com/jayme-github/esphome_vaillant Codex can help probably further heh.
- petepete 2mo agoIt's a Yale Sync https://yalehome.co.uk/yale-sync-hub https://yalehome.co.uk/yale-sync-hub It's not really something I want 'home rolled', I just want it to work. Same goes for the boiler really. If it stops working I can phone Valliant and they'll send someone round to fix it.
