That is useful but I guess you can't get HA app notifications unless you toggle that setting on your phone? You are using telegram or else for that purpose?

Thanks, wireguard sound much better then for just accessing HA, wonder why is duckdns so popular then

Thanks for the heads-up, haven't tried webrtc. Something still missing for me is person detection, with luck it will be added in future as this has been requested by some user to tplink R&D (at this moment, this feature doesn't comply with onvif standard).

None the less, they are good and cheap devices.

Yeah, I only care to keep the printer running for just a few seconds but thanks for the input

You're welcome ;)

"the Bowden tube runs all the way from the extruder down to nozzle", what kind of modification did you do because that's how most Bowden setup are from what I know. This video explains why the fix works https://youtu.be/7tCxO17XZtw

You can try to use this hotend fix to avoid clogging https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3203831

Also, make sure to replace Bowden coupler by new one

They do have hub (probably pi like hub) with ZigBee and/or zwave but best to use a small nuc (or similar) and get a ZigBee dongle. Will be a bit more expensive but worth it. Have no idea about pricing for subscription service but I'm not sure they can even match the power of home assistant automation capabilities.

i'm willing to try to help you but to be honest, it is far from my limited knowledge... and i'm also not english native so i do sometimes struggle to understand some specifc docs...

That being said, looks like exemple given at https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/voice/intent-recognition/template-sentence-syntax/ isn't inside _common.yaml

# Example light_HassTurnOn.yaml
language: "en"

also i just realised that this is developer document which could explain why _common.yaml modifications would be wiped out after an update.

I just had a look to the non developer doc and it suggest intent_script is to be added to configuration.yaml and intent to custom_sentences/<language> as shown here https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/conversation/

# Example configuration.yaml entry
intent_script:

# Example temperature.yaml entry
language: "en"
intents:

I'm no expert so not easy to answer to your questions with many details. What I know is that z2m support more devices than zha, get updates more frequently, can be running separately from ha meaning that if ha goes down for any reason, you would be still able to control your ZigBee devices (I personally run it with HA), for some devices z2m expose more informations, also you can ask support for devices.

I said it is better because it is a general consensus from users but if zha works good enough for you then you can stick to it but if you encounter limitations/problems, z2m might be the solution. It is easier to start with zha but in long term, z2m offer more capabilities.

No particular tricks, maybe it's a one of the limitation of zha. As an exemple, I recently replace a bulb by a new one and old one was repurpose somewhere else in the house, the only thing I did was to rename old bulb and added the new one with old bulb name.

Actually home assistant made it happen this year https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2022/12/20/year-of-voice/
