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?

Ubiquity should be fine yes. I'm running one AP in our living room and it's been awesome.

Guess you tried the obvious, like changing channel and restarting it. Sorry no experience with mesh networking except zigbee which is a different topic.

It seems like it's been more stable this last 24 hours so fingers crossed!

If you're an expert in zigbee, my humidity/temp sensor isn't working all of a sudden and I don't know why. It's a cheap one off ali express so it probably just died (only a few months old) but you said you're an expert in zigbee and it uses zigbee so I might as well ask 😆

Probably dead battery. The battery indicator in HA is useless, some of mine goes from 90% to dead.

I've stopped trying to re-pair missing Zigbee devices, it usually fixes itself over time. Otherwise restarting HA works.

Update: I replaced the battery and it's working now. Hopefully this one lasts a lot longer!

[–] sylverstream 2 points 10 months ago

Nice!

[–] Dave 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ah OK, I'll have to try a new battery. Is it normal for the battery to only last a few months?

[–] sylverstream 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ive had one last only 4 months on a proper Panasonic battery. Also depends on the battery, Eg if it came with a battery it's probably low quality.

Pbtech is cheapest for those batteries.

[–] Dave 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's the one it came with so makes sense it's not great. These panasonic ones at pbtech are a great deal! Get 5 for the cost of 1 at the supermarket.

[–] sylverstream 2 points 11 months ago

Yep I've got those. Great pricing.
