  • I recently bought a zigbee dongle to use with a home assistant VM. Do you have any advice on products? There is alot of stuff out there and I am trying to make sure I get good stuff.

    My current plan is that id buy assorted types of lights to fill the roles of actual lighting and mood lighting, and I would pair that with a 4 button switch to toggle between some different presets. Been looking at Moes for the scene switch buttons and Sengled bulbs, and still need to find a solution for having home assistant to turn on or off non-smart items by delivering power or withholding, but i feel like i am flying blind.


  • It is a tough situation, because yes it makes complete sense to say “I cant stop them, but I can ensure their safety” since we know abstinence is a pipe dream, but its also not fair to say your ideas on how to parent supersede another parents. Hell this could even be a teaching moment for your child by explaining this in full candor with them so they understand your concerns with the request and why you made the decision you made, it can be helpful for them to understand that just because other people do things in a way you don’t agree with, doesn’t give you the right to force your ways on them, a lesson in desperate need across the world lately.
