Didn’t expect pet appliances to be this progressive already — Matter included.
Came across something very much in this category while curating my Smart Home Newsletter last week 👀

Oh nice, thought I was an oldtimer starting somewhere in the 0.twenties versions!

That's their website. Maybe documentation?

Did the Home Assistant or the Minisforum piss you of? I have the Venus UM480 and am very satisfied!

Put an LLM in the voice pipeline and you can even tweak the level of 'pedanticness'!

You only missed like 24+ releases 😉

In my new smart home feed, I focus on - but don’t limit to - community posts about:

Home Assistant · HomeKit · SmartThings · Google Home · Matter · Zigbee · Philips Hue · Alexa · and more

Still tuning, so let me know when you see something that shouldn't be there!

I believe the timestamp device class is triggering this. If you set this yourself, try omitting it.

Oh yeah, I do remember and therefore postponing until the new tile cards support templates, so I can replace mushroom cards!

Exactly! I guess it makes them feel good when people bag for their config?

And except for the capitals, they are right so! Inspire and share.

Thanks for your response. Maybe you could use it as a learning tool. It could explain step by step what it's doing and why.

Not really, but I'll try to help if you post your question!

A similar effect in The Netherlands

Unfortunately, my voice PE still didn't arrive. Even though I ordered it from Denmark as I thought it was on Santa's way to The Netherlands 😔
