Ich brauche in Zukunft eventuell eine große Palette von smarten Lichtschaltern, Rolladenaktoren und Heizungsthermostaten.

Meine Anforderungen:

- Native Anbindung an Homeassistant
- Ohne Cloud (oder Opt-In)
- Ohne APP (oder Opt-In)

Beim Protokoll bin ich mit Zigbee und WiFi unterwegs.

Was nutzt man da aktuell? Sonoff? Shelly?

@tim Security cameras: #reolink Also fully local and great integration for #homeassistant

At least here in #Europe also IKEA sells various #smarthome devices (speakers etc) that seem to be quite good and locally controllable (and reasonably priced). But I am personally not using any of them.

I keep adding cool/interesting integrations for #homeassistant here:

@tim I'd always prefer an open source solution to a commercial product - that collects your personal data, that can be discontinued any time (see #google #nest for example), and that is usually much more expensive.

It's your choice, of course. But I'd strongly encourage you to reconsider. Keep it local and keep it open.

I wonder how many signatures we could get for an EU initiative that would require manufacturers to sell same quality "dumb" counterparts to their regular "smart" offerings of appliances and electronics, at the same or lower price.

Dumb TVs, washing machines, coffee makers, toothbrushes, etc. that would not require apps, wifi, bluetooth, phoning home, ads, etc.

Remove anything extra that is not required for the core use case of the product.

In 2025.7, we made improvements to the Areas dashboard. 👏🏻

The dashboards the community has shared helped shape this design 🤩 and we would love to see how it works for you. Even if you already have the perfect dashboard, try it out!

Last week, I talked about the cool dual-camera Eufy Doorbell. This week, I bring you part 2 - the Outdoor Cam E220 (mildly interesting), the S380 HomeBase (kinda cool), and the really nifty solar-powered Eufy SoloCam S340s. Plus, there’s a video of my granddaughter Siena doing experiments with the AI tracking!
