Thanks Travis.

I’m a bit skeptical about the tiny skyconnect dongle. How far is the coverage around the house without some external antenna?

@digiblurDIY 4 ай бұрын

It's just an older EFR chipset deal. Adding additional border routers or mains powered devices will be key here. Just like zigbee

Hey Travis, I am wondering if the blind time can also be adjusted like the Zigbee P1 Aqara Motion device. What is the minimum time that can be set to detect the next motion?

@@digiblurDIY Thanks! I watched the video again. Starting at 8:53 you explain that there is no setting for occupancy_timeout (cooldown) for the matter device. That's what I was interested in! Do you have a reccomendation for a motion sensor with a occupancy_timeout less than 1 sec?

Many thanks for the Content

OG had fun with it for sure. We had to bring SpongeBob back for the motion testing again.

I have been using the old zigbee ones for over 5 year, I mean they arrived before chrismas 2018 and we have 6 of these working. It is important to check the coin cells , the batteries cause we had back then a bad one which did not work . I am quite happy with all the zigbee stuff cause it usually does work quite reliabe compared to energy hungry wifi things or BT devices that suffer from range.

@digiblurDIY 4 ай бұрын

BT range isn't an issue with BT Proxies around but the speed hasn't been the greatest. Zigbee is still my goto for quick response battery sensors.

@RossReedstrom 4 ай бұрын

@@digiblurDIY Agreed : I use BT for environmental sensors (temp/humidy) and zigbee for action sensors (presence, door/lock open/close). It's all about the latency.

@digiblurDIY 4 ай бұрын

Yup! Same here. Love some Govee, Thermopro, etc Bluetooth sensors. Cheap and just work.

I pair mine with my HomeKit no problem but once it’s paired I get ‘accessory not responding’ any ideas why?

@digiblurDIY 2 ай бұрын

Not sure. I don't have any homekit stuff. I just did it with Thread.

It's Aqara not Aqaria ! We know what you meant.

Lol. I heard it enough at CES but still have to catch myself.

I may have missed a previous video: what thread radio are you using?

@digiblurDIY 4 ай бұрын

I showed it quickly saying what you needed. Using the EFR based Skyconnect one.

@RossReedstrom 4 ай бұрын

@@digiblurDIY Ah, digging a bit, I see there are now multi-protocol firmware for the EFR32 based dongles. Cool beans!

@digiblurDIY 4 ай бұрын

Even the EFR based sonoff stick. But however I am sticking to my CC2652 for Zigbee usage.

@videolan 4 ай бұрын

Can't use this without configurable cool down. When they add additional parameters, I'll buy some.

@s80keys 4 ай бұрын

This is exactly what I came here to comment. I've got 3 and without the cooldown it's just more aggravating than helpful. I was hoping to get some of Lewis's presence sensors but they're always out of stock. So I may have to try Aqara's presence sensors.

@digiblurDIY 4 ай бұрын

Fully agree! Not having those sliders or even OTA upgrades at this time isn't making me run to get on this Thread train.

@digiblurDIY 4 ай бұрын

Why wait? The 2410s and 2450's can be had in many other sensors. Check out Screeks - ebay.us/ykTbMU

It might matter more when I see the need to add more matter devices to my setup. But after it dropped out like 3 or 4 devices for no reason and then took me an hour to get my lock back in... Nah bro. My time and sanity matter.
