New house came with a SolarEdge inverter ☀️
Plot twist: can't access it. SetApp login fails, Wi-Fi credentials on the side are useless.
Anyone reset one of these as a new homeowner? Or am I stuck pointing at it hoping it works?

Installed the Reolink Doorbell @ my new place. All prepping for my fresh new Home Assistant powered smart home. Besides... it is kinda nice to know that someone is at the door 🙈

New place, new network. 🏠
UniFi router, switch, and two APs ready to go. Planned out a VLAN setup that avoids smart home headaches without going overboard.
If it works as hoped, I'll blog about the approach.
First step: infrastructure. Everything else can wait.

Moving next week, so I'm packing up... including my smart home 📦
My Zigbee2MQTT is now completely empty. Every sensor, every bulb, every button. All packed up and ready to go.
This feels weird. And honestly? Pretty exciting. New house, fresh canvas! 🏠

You know that feeling when you're building an automation and you have NO idea which "Motion Sensor" is which? Or how many lights you're actually about to control?
No more guessing. 🎯

Coming later this year, partners can provide agents. For example, using Claude directly in the GitHub interface, just like you can use and assign just like you can do with GitHub Copilot today. I love that they bring choice to the GitHub platform.

Spook can raise repair issues if it spots unknown entities hiding inside your clever automations.
Still testing… but it’s looking scary good 😊
