PoE needs to be more prevalent, IMO. When Smlight came out with the SLZB I jumped on it. Not only does it give me options for where to place it in my house, but it also allows me to make HA more resilient on my Proxmox cluster because it isn’t tied to a single node with USB passthru.

I know that this probably is an edge case and that the HA team wants to make things easier with the HA green and HA yellow so USB still makes sense, but if this or the SWA-2 had PoE as an option, it would have been a no brainer.

100% agree. This feels like more of a learning tool to me. See how compose files are structured, maybe combine it with some documentation and start branching out from there.

DCM looks somewhat interesting, I’m not sure I have a use case for it between proxmox helper scripts and the “Docker run to Docker compose converter” in it-tools, but I always like messing with new containers so I might spin up DCM just to see if there’s a use for me.

I also find it a little funny that DCM is a docker container that you have to copy a compose file from the documentation to launch when that is the exact use case they are saying you can avoid by using it.

Thanks for the reminder, I need to install the rest of mine and my shutoff valve and start testing the automations

I love my Yubikey but the older hardware versions can only store 25 passkeys, and I believe even the newer ones can only store 100. That seems like a lot until more sites start allowing passkey auth.

The zigbee bulbs I’ve had the best luck with are Innr, although they are kind of pricy. Ikea bulbs are good for the price, but every one I have, has very loud coil whine when off. I had some on bedside stands and had to move them to other rooms. Sengled are nice when they work, I’ve had issues with them dropping off my network.

Both Ikea and Innr are also repeaters, Sengled does not do repeaters in their bulbs. Neither Ikea or Innr are exactly cheap, but they’ve been the most solid for me.
