Comment on Homelab for DevOps experience?
4am@lemmy.zip 2 months agoI second HomeAssistant. Plenty of devices that don’t need the cloud, and plenty of DIY devices you can build if you’re handy like that. Been a significant push recently for IR transmitters and for RF Tx/Rx so that “dumb” devices can be controlled smartly; no cloud necessary (unless you want it)

Are you into that? I recently started fighting with my stupid ceiling fans and their IR remotes. Would like to get them into HomeAssistant, but are IR transmitters any good across rooms? Or would you have a transmitters right by the receiver and the transmitter speaks some other language?
@luftruessel @selfhosted I put in Lutron fan switches. Pricy, but work great and integrate easily with #homeassistant via Zigbee.

@meltedcheese @luftruessel @selfhosted I wasn’t aware that Caseta supported Zigbee. Can you point me to some docs on that?
@gwww @luftruessel @selfhosted To my chagrin, my HA interacts with the Lutron Hub to control the fans. My other Caseta devices use Matter, which is proving to be unreliable so I am migrating away from it.
@gwww @luftruessel @selfhosted I’m traveling now. I’ll look after I get home this weekend.
