Need help. Looking people
T

Hello! My name is Svetlana, I'm a UX/UI designer working on a design for a smart home app. I want to know about the experience of using any smart home application (be it MiHome, Tuya, Home Assistant, etc.) and your own thoughts. If you have a similar experience and want to help, please write to me in private. Your participation will help me make the product better and understand the needs of real users. I'm looking forward to communicating with you! Thank you.

Whole house audio wiring. Looking for new use
D

Hi. So when I had my house build I ran a bunch of stuff, one of which being two pairs of speaker wires to each bedroom and to 4 spots around my living room… Over the years I have used them here and there with different success.. But today they sit in my walls just unused.

I converted all the cat6 or 5e (I don’t remember) over to basically eithernet jacks. The cable coaxial well it’s there but now unused. But I was thinking there has got to be some use for two pairs of speaker wires to each room. Can I make them usb plugs? Not sure so looking for ideas.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.
Kevin

    I appear to have been suspended from the Mios forum. I suspect for linking my migration post 😄

    What competitors site? This is interesting... The old place went from being a discussion forum to share ideas and user/community support and development and it has become mostly a spamming ground for ezlo’s dubious advertising... one can survive there only if you stay in line, helping their platform without criticisism or keep quiet about your dissatisfaction and disappointment as a customer. I just couldn’t do it...

    Wow, that sucks. Their traffic is down too in the latest weeks. Doing community the since early days, this is not the way to have a healthy ecosystem. We'll see.

    <meh>

    Ask Melih. He gets right arsey if someone says something that casts doubt on the glorious new world order that will be created when Ezlo gets out of Alpha...

    I mean @rafale77 was also classed as a spammer! All pleas for him to be re-instated fell on totally deaf ears. I don't recall that any of the staff even acknowledged the requests

    Nope, but I was partly expecting it. I've had a couple of run ins with Melih. He's never impressed me and the current quality of their output seems frankly shocking, but I'm not a tester and haven't tested it. But judging on the reports of defects.....

    That was kind of my take. I work in enterprise IT operations and what I would expect from beta would be a lot fewer critical defects than people seem to be reporting.

    The latest Mios cloud outage was the trigger to get me off Vera totally.

    Though not very surprising at this point, it is still pretty weird of them to miss the point by this much...

    1. We are not a competitor. We sell nothing. We are just users sharing our experiences in developing our smart homes.
    2. The existence of this forum is a direct consequence of the blind and sly behavior of Ezlo, misleading the entire vera community like lemmings into a dead end.
      A customer base which is complaining is actually good for a company. It means that the customers care and still have hope in you. What you need to worry about is when you only get praises or the customers are quiet... It means that they give up. One would have thought that a little competitive intelligence would have been beneficial but no they chose the ostrich option of sticking their head in cow byproducts. I feel really bad for the old community but even more so for the employees who don't have a choice. That's really the only reason for this post. This is really more their loss than ours.
      As I have predicted, given their methodology, they will have a product which would have been competitive 5 years ago in a couple of years and it is really a downgrade compared to the old vera. There is only so much one can do... bringing a thirsty horse to the river.
      I am still a vera user and I made it work perfectly... by bringing it back to its OEM state of being a Sercomm device and integrated back into a vera like environment called openLuup.

    It's beyond time to move on... My system has never been working this well... wow my door locks have not seen a new battery in 6 months now! new record and we are using it every day, multiple times a day. This was impossible with the vera.
