in homeautomation@selfhosted.forum•Amateur Tip: Any time you work on a smart switch or plug, mark which breaker it’s connected to with a label maker.

I like having local control too. My rule for smart lighting is it should still operate like dumb lighting.

in homeautomation@selfhosted.forum•Router recommendations

This isn’t the best recommendation*, but I’ve personally had no issues with tons of devices and a large two building layout with 4 Google Wifi pucks.

  • I gather that some of the other mesh solutions like Eero work better but I’ve never used them.

in homeautomation@selfhosted.forum•Robot vacuum without wifi

The Roborock vacuums can work without wifi but you lose the advanced functionality. Apparently you can flash them with an alternative firmware and get back the advanced functions with local only control.

in homeautomation@selfhosted.forum•I am building a new house and I am trying to prewire as much as possible. If price was not an object what would you pre-wire?

If money was no object, maybe conduit going from every room to a central place so you can easily run whatever you want in the future.
