Had a bit of a tinker with my hass.io setup again this eve having not touched it for a while.
It has been flawlessly running for the past month with just the flashed sonoff RF bridge, pushing notifications via pushover when someone rings the doorbell (cheap wireless doorbell that emits RF) or opens the front door (cheap RF door sensor) while both me and the missus are out, prompting me to check my blink camera. The RF bridge has enabled the construction of a smart security system quite cheaply, although it's not something I would ever use to replace an actual fitted alarm system.
It's also now got the pihole add-on running flawlessly, which I originally had running on a separate pi alongside openVPN before realising my router has openVPN built in.
I had taken delivery of a cc debugger and a zigbee sniffer a few weeks ago, which took so long I had actually forgotten that I had ordered, and put off doing anything with them as it all looked a bit complicated. I had a few minutes to spare this evening so decided to have a go at setting it up, and actually it turned out to be infinitely easier than I had built up in my head, so now it's set up and ready to go. I just need to get a hold of a single zigbee device (bulb or sensor) to test linking them up.
