Side question but where would one learn how to do this that way? Any guides, reddit? The home automation market seems such a mess every time I check it out.

- knob 11mo agoFeed that comment into an ai (claude suggested). Let it know what you have, and just work out a "numbered list roadmap". Love ais for that!
- microtonal 11mo agoEasiest way is to put HAOS (Home Assistant OS) on a Raspberry Pi, Home Assistant Green, or some NUC: https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/ https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/ Then get a coordinator recommended for zigbee2mqtt: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/adapters/ https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/adapters/ Then install and start the following add-ons in Home Assistant: - Mosquitto - zigbee2mqtt: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/installation/03_ha_addon.html https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/installation/03_ha_addon.ht... - MQTT And that's pretty much it, you can add devices through the MQTT add-on page. They will also become available as entities in the rest of Home Assistant, and you can make graphs, dashboards, actions, etc. You can also run + install zigbee2mqtt and Mosquitto on a Linux machine, but HAOS give you more of an integrated solution with dashboards, graphs, backups, cloud access, etc.
