Tech here. Lots of smart home crap. All zigbee.

For real! HA* & Zigbee or I seriously doubt the credibility of any „I work in IT“-claim.

*one of OSS contenders is fine.

So pissed ikea moved to matter. They were a great source of cheapie sensors.

IKEA is not bad but I actually prefer (whitelabel) Tuya as long as those run on AA(A).

They might even be cheaper outside the US right now. Ironically thanks to their tariffs.

I've got a few of the zigbee temp/ humidity sensors, definitely better than the ikea variant. And the ikea sockets are stupidly sized and completely cockblock a standard gpo, hate that.

Still hunting a decent AQI, will probably have to get off my arse and build one
