    @CatmanV2Last night I said "Siri, turn on the TV" and my Alexa device replied "TV is not responding."

    Just to reinforce that I'd not stuttered or mispoken, Siri had (in fact) turned on the TV.

    They're all in cahoots.

    what kind of things do you need to send the USB port? because that's achievable with any language, and that's possibile with a Powershell script, to start with. but I think Excel VBA is not the right tool for the job and it's not easy to drive something from it.

    Hi there.

    'Best', of course, is subjective. What are your needs/wants really?

    Also, what type of IT infrastructure do you have, or are you used to? Apple, PC, Linux, ...?

    Lots of choice, to be sure.

    Just to close this off, new unit installed today and we now have IR back up and running. Even more remarkably despite having to reconfigure my TV activity from scratch in the Harmony app, both Alexa and HASS appear to have managed to remain functional.
    Logitech were always the bees knees for Universal remote products but at some point they will turn the servers off 😞

    Sorry. Wrong thread. I mean to ask how to set up a secure server rather than phoning home over http. I already have a domain I use for my Emby Server via NameCheap (hopto.org) and Cloudflare. I think I just need to use another domain name but how to tell HomeAssistant to use the ssl / https domain?

  • Recommendation for a smart in-wall plug

    It’s a smart idea to use a smart plug to reset your Ecobee remotely. However, the high temperatures in the attic (up to 135°F) are definitely a concern since many smart plugs aren’t rated for that heat. Unfortunately, Wyze and Lutron Caseta don’t offer in-wall smart plugs that are rated for those temps. You might want to look into industrial-grade smart plugs that can handle extreme conditions, or maybe relocate the smart plug to a cooler spot near the attic access, if possible. Kasa makes some Wi-Fi-based options rated up to 104°F, but you'd need to confirm if they can handle brief periods of higher heat. Be sure to double-check the specs to ensure safety and longevity.

    Hi, @Nick521

    I see the Yale Assure Lock Touchscreen 1st gen a sturdy choice, but newer versions might have extra perks. The Mul T Lock cylinder could fit, but it's wise to double-check with the manufacturer or locksmith for compatibility on both Assure Lock versions.

    On the flip side, the Schlage Encode Plus is a strong contender with its advanced security features. It's like navigating a maze of options, but consider what features matter most to you and if they align with your needs. It's a bit of a tech puzzle, but finding the right fit is worth the effort!

    They’re ending the old works with nest support, but they’re still working via the new integration. So, while a Zwave thermostat is definitely better, you’d still use a nest one. Easiest routes are home assistant or similar active platforms.
