Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

I use a bunch of zwave gear so I got one of these https://activeautomation.co.nz/remotec-z-wave-to-ac-ir-extender-zxt-600

Thanks for commenting, it's interesting to see what everyone is using. And how many protocols there are! I'm using a skyconnect dongle, which is multi-protocol but doesn't mention zwave.

I've ordered a couple of wifi based ones that others have said they are using. I got them from ali express so it will be at least a month before they arrive, but I'm hoping they will work for me.

Yeah zwave tends to be standalone as the Zwave Alliance owns the rights to the protocol and they test everything for conformance, so it's more expensive. I just don't like sticking random iot stuff on my network.

Yeah fair enough. I'm only just getting started, and I'm sure over time I'll start to build some preferences for what kinds of things I'm happy to connect.
