So far out of all the home automation devices I've connected to this Raspberry Pi, the most reliable ones have been 433mhz transmitters and ESP32s on wifi. I've been getting spotty performance of Bluetooth and Z-wave devices. Could be that the Pi isn't powerful enough, or could be because simpler is just better.

@aaronpk this has been my strategy too. Heavily into Home Assistant already and delving into NodeRed now.

Neat! I'm just getting up and running with Home Assistant. It's been an adventure so far!

@aaronpk sounds awesome! What model is that? I’m thinking of doing the same.

I just installed this neat motor which can drive the chain on my blinds! Now I'm brainstorming various rules to cause the blinds to open and close. So far:

• Close the blinds once the sun is high enough to start shining into the room
• Open the blinds when the sun goes down in the evening
• Close the blinds when the TV turns on
• Close the blinds when I get in bed

Pro survival tip: if you ever get lost in the woods. Just start talking about what you believe is the best camera and someone will show up to argue that it’s not. 🤓
