  • Home Assistant

    :house_with_garden: Open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first.

  • Home Assistant https://www.home-assistant.io/

    It's a quite powerful tool to integrate a variety of different smart home devices into one location and share them between ecosystems.

    I have a wifi thermostat that requires a dedicated app and does not allow for Apple Home integration. With Home Assistant I installed an integration for that thermostat, then shared it with the Apple Home bridge (also an integration) and quickly was able to allow my iphone/automations etc, to modify the thermostat. And that's only scratching the surface and something that took a few minutes.

  • wizmote-esphome

  • Wiz bulbs use ESP-NOW (so that the Wiz remote can communicate with them). They also have an ESP-WROOM-02 inside (a package integrating an ESP-8266EX).

    The fact that they use ESP-NOW means they can be controlled (theoretically) by any ESP* that has ESP-NOW support. So far, folks have only managed to go the other way—to intercept remote key presses [0]—but I imagine it won’t be long before they suss out control of the bulbs.

  • zha-device-handlers

    ZHA device handlers bridge the functionality gap created when manufacturers deviate from the ZCL specification, handling deviations and exceptions by parsing custom messages to and from Zigbee devices.

  • There are some quirks fixes that add support for a lot of these in zha that just haven't been merged yet but that you can add
