Great article, Aaron! How do you block your Broadlink RM Mini’s internet access? Also, are you able to do Node-RED automations based on triggers from Wyze Sense devices?

Thanks! I blocked it in my home router. And yes the Wyze sensors have been great and I can create automations in node-red from them!

@samgrover you might also check out: github.com/matthewwall/weewx… looks like there's a way to get the temp sensor data without their expensive phone-home hub. Need a 433 radio receiver: github.com/matthewwall/weewx…

that's what I use, did you read it?

This is great thank you! Do you have a smart plug that you like? I'm looking for something that monitors wattage, not just turns off/on. The Wemo Insight Smart Plug is the right kind of thing but it's not hacker friendly.

I haven't looked for that kind of thing yet. I thought the Wemo outlets let you talk directly to them on the LAN and also had Home Assistant support though!

Heads up the the Schlage customer service and tech support are so bad that you might as well just consider them disposable devices. “Hey my lock won’t unlock.” I’d removed it and replaced after 24 hours, and 8 days later they respond. Took 7 weeks for a resolution.

I have also moved mostly local with HomeAssistant. I haven’t read the whole post yet - but I can’t wait to compare notes! 🤓😎

Awesome! Let me know if you write up a post as well!
