After some troubles with my configuration of HomeAssistant, I think it is time to add at least some security.
In this blog I will tell you how to rename the host of your HA, add a free and safe VPN to it and warn you that one should update its configuration regularly.

This time I explain you how to install a zigbee Adapter and Zigbee2MQTT on hashtag#HomeAssistant. It is not difficult, but you need to take a note on how the Zigbee adapter is added.
I also installed a Door and Window Sensor, to check if the Zigbee2MQTT would work.

After the last few weeks, I finally found time to write down the findings about Tektonika, MQTT and Modbus.

The VanAssistant project is not going that well. Not to much related to technical issues, but more or less relative based. I will not dive deeper into this, but we had some strange weeks going on.
