I have one. You still need the app to setup the lock, which is unfortunate. Once it was setup I just deleted the app.

I can’t updoot you enough. I hate that so much too.
Seems they want to force you to use their “Car Thing” voice assistant. Probably to listen into your conversations…
I like how audiobookshelf works and syncs, but their android app needs auto play/queue like the web version has. I’ve been listening to “Robot or Not” and episodes are like 2-8 minutes. Gets real annoying to keep needing to select the next episode. Especially while driving as it’s unsafe. The android auto syncing isn’t great either.
AntennaPod is nicer in that way, but I haven’t found a good web player that syncs with it.
While not AI. That’s my goal with my home automation. To augment my life to make certain things easier and/or more efficient.

I have a feeling they’ll make it difficult to use. Then when people do it accidentally because of they’re shitty UI, they’ll point to that and say, “see?!”
They’ll probably want some money for them instead.
I mean… How long until they put it on eBikes and you’re right?
I do find that they go to sleep fairly often. I changed the temp update setting to the smallest value and it updates fairly regularly. If the temp doesn’t change much I don’t think you get an update.
I know this is an old question, but the Shelly H&T has a USB power cap that you can buy separately. Then use any micro USB cable and power supply. It’s Wi-Fi and not zigbee, and it is definitely a tad more expensive per unit. However, no need to worry about batteries. Shelly does run sales occasionally too.
Too bad it’s not on April 1st. They could have made the site require a subscription.
10 million is more than I expected, but still less than I had hoped. Of course they’ll probably find a way to not pay.
Yeah, I feel you there, but the opposite (fans already in their own gang) and I use zwave. Maybe I’ll switch those to zigbee. Some day… Some day…
You can check out the inovelli switches. They have zigbee switches coming soon.
I will comment that the yale version 2 required an app(setup via Bluetooth), which I was less than thrilled about. But I just removed the app when done and just use my zwave.
Would you say they’re ‘lit’?
They were ridiculously easy to implement the first time I tried. Went back and got a few more after the experience. Generally I use switches to control lights, but I have a couple places I like the individual bulbs.
Look at you, mister fancy pants with your choice between TWO crappy ISPs. While us over here have one choice for a crappy ISP.
The lock itself is fine. I can do pretty much everything with the zwave once paired. Locking and unlocking are pretty quick and easy. You can setup a few different numbers too (haven’t played with it too much once setup). It has a sensor to detect if the door is open, but it’s pretty slow. Sometimes I can open and close the door before it knows it’s open. More of a door left open sensor.
Our door lock it well aligned, but it’s yours is off I could see it being an issue, but that’s any motorized lock.
Battery life seems pretty good considering we use the lock multiple times a day. Just 4 AA batteries I Believe. It also beeps at you when you lock/unlock before it dies so you have a fair warning.
