Good point, I have hears of people having issues with Aqara stuff like that. Good flag.

Winning at protocol mastery. I commend thee.

Speaking of devices, I’m actually still using an ancient Conbee II and it’s rock solid. I thought about changing it recently and ordered a ZBT-2 for a more up to date product, but then I realised I was insane and set it up as a Thread Border Router instead, so I have both now.

Do many companies let you use their hubs to connect to devices from competitors? I always assumed of you bought X brand, you could only connect to X brand.

If you are gettng a refund, would you consider using Zigbee2MQTT with a suitable dongle from Home Assistant, Sonoff etc.? Then you can connect your Aqara stuff and pretty much any other brand you want, without any of their hubs.

Apologies if I’m missing something subtle here but it seems normal that Aqara would want to tie you into their products only.

Yeah maybe so. I’ll have a look at the entity names bit I think the loop.is being caused by something in my code. Will report back!

I have this set up to launch SmartTube instead of YouTube. Its working but there is a 1sec delay during which yhe YouTube screen flashes up. Also theres a looping issue if you use the back button to get out of SmartTube.

However, nice to have a way to remap the buttons without installing an additional app.

Thanks, I understood those names but I was curious about the Netflix and Jellyfin variables com.Netflix.ninja and org.Jellyfin.androidtv. How did you figure out what those were? I’ll need to do the same for YT and SmartTube.

Can you share a bit about how you got the names for the Netflix and Jellyfin variables please? My daughter asked me yesterday if we could change the YouTube button to SmartTube! I said I didn’t think it was possible! 👀

Thanks!

Solar mainly, and a few badges that double up as buttons. Weather and humidity bars utterly pointless but it took ages to get them right so I keep them.

I think this is the way too. I have never updated firmware on a device via the Pi. Always connected to a PC.

Can you confirm that you do not have ZHA and Z2M running at the same time?

• Disable ZHA
• Uninstall Z2M
• Reboot device
• Reinstall Z2M
• Try to run it again.

That’s what I would do next.
