Not very well in my experience

Wow, TIL, thanks!

That tracks, Z2M got popular when things were still pretty wild in the ZigBee world, they HAD to work around.

If I turn off my Home Assistant, everything in my house still works like a normal house. Your bulbs won’t.

I’ve tried it all: short cables, long cables, stands… Most other stuff just works.

I’ve got repeaters: every room has multiple light switches and smart plugs that act as repeaters.

I’ve started (admittedly years ago when implementations were less advanced), with a single Zigbee2mqtt network with Philips, Le grand, IKEA and so on, but they kept dropping off immediately.
Some time later I got a new coordinator, migrated everything, everything else improved, those sensors did not, so I tried creating a different, Aquara only network for them with another instance of Z2M, that made things better but still had problems.
This week I’ve installed an Athom Ethernet ZigBee gateway (great device btw, mine runs Esphome), and joined the networks again, but I’ve already had disconnections. I’ve only got a couple of those still in place, I keep trying to get them to work 'cause I have a bunch sitting in my drawer, but I’m just about to throw them in the recycling bin.

I agree with the door sensors, they work great and sip battery.

The thermometers (the square ones from a few years back) suck tho, they drop off the network all the time. I’ve replaced them with those generic Ali round ones with the display, they take AAA batteries which is a plus.

My partner wore out the clips on the cover by doing that all the time

Do you keep balance of what they did for you, vs what you’ve done for them? Refuse to help them if they go “into debt” with you?

“It doesn’t fuck a dick to me”

Italian

Policeman wasn’t having any of that shit that day

That’s what I learned from Disney documentaries

Is this the new conspiracy theory to replace flat earth? Go, spread your narrative wings!

Do you also believe you have a debt to your parents that needs to be repaid?

Huh, Klamath… I remember it from Fallout!

Slightly more brazen than before

Yo dawg I put spies in your spies

I’m Italian and I caught toxoplasmosis eating raw sausage ground meat as a kid, sooo…

But I did that for a long time before anything happened.

Who cares, it was great

Red meat can be eaten rare, because even if the inside is raw, it’s not usually contaminated by anything dangerous, while chicken meat has to be throughly cooked because it’s the opposite… So washing the outside is useless.
