A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah, IoT is pretty nice. But proprietary stuff can be very annoying and a huge security risk.
My bedroom lighting setup doesn't even use ZigBee
Its all theatre DMX lighting > ola (open lighting architecture) > ArtNet > home assistant.
It's slightly jankier than if I had built a direct ola > Hass plugin but it works quite well
I also only run lighting, and control my Chromecast on my Home assistant - and both are turned off at the power supply when I'm not home, it isn't accessible outside the LAN (except through a zerotier VPN, though I probably should turn that off as I don't use it much)
