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?

Honestly I don't know and can't recall if I had issues setting it up. Quick googling shows there might be a different app now? But I can't see it on the play store. I'll have to see if I can find the manual for it

edit: I think your phone connects to it when it's in setup mode (flashing light), then you enter credentials for your network and then it connects?

So I managed to get it to connect to the network using the alternate (AP) pairing method, but not the app (the app couldn't find it on the network, but reported the device had connected).

However, getting to this point was enough for Home Assistant to pick it up, so hopefully I'm good from here!

Edit: Except for the bit where I have no idea what I'm doing 😆

Sounds like a normal day for me!

I'm pretty new to Home Assistant, and often I feel like I'm learning things in the wrong order. But I'm sure I'll get there eventually. I have managed to teach it heat pump on and off commands, so that's a start.
