Cheers. Reasonable prices for something unessential.

Leakbot at £30 at Amazon down from £150.

Clips to your main waterpipe and alerts you via an app if there is a sudden massive amount of water usage i.e. A leak in the building.

Anyone got a Google Home Mini they don't want? Ridiculous oven is incoming, and works with google assistant.

Also, is a Home Mini the cheapest / easiest way to get Google Assistant voice control on the go?

If you want a step up from the mini then the home hub is £60 from the BT shop at the moment.

Weird £119 when I clicked the link

It’s means tested

Thanks, but I just want the cheapest, smallest thing to make google assistant work. Found it new for £19, doubt I’ll get better than that.

I think BT saw DJ coming.

(I'm not a BT customer BTW)

That's weird. I've bought from them in the past so perhaps there are cookies that make a difference?

Can you order one for me?

PM me.

try this link

Ok, my link worked on my phone but not on my PC.

Giles' link works on my phone and PC.

Anyone want a brand new Google Home Mini (chalk / white) for £19 before I send it back? Friend gave me one after I'd ordered it.

Does anyone have an IKEA Tradfri gateway they don't need?

Annoying sequence of events:

Sonos discontinues support for the Connect.

I replace the Connect with the Port.

The Port has no volume control buttons (!!!).

I order an IKEA Symfonisk Sonos remote to control the Port.

It arrives three weeks later.

I need the Tradfri Gateway (£25 + £4 p&p) to set it up.

Fingers crossed one of you lovely lot has one to spare and lives near(ish) me...?

Anyone?

Bueller?

Anyone?

What are the suggestions for using a Raspberry Pi with Home Assistant and Zigbee (or should I be looking at Z-Wave?). The Conbee II stick seems the popular option.

Looking to use it for sensors (mainly movement and temperature) and probably door/window sensors at some point. (Also would be interested if anyone has any recommendations for sensors.)

I'm looking for recommendations too. My current temperature/humidity sensor isn't particularly... production ready

Anybody here on Linux and using Sonos in the house?
I am the maintainer of an open source app: https://github.com/pascalopitz/unoffical-sonos-controller-for-linux
Haven't had time to develop this much over the past 2-3 years, but just started picking up velocity again.
Really need some people testing and giving more feedback. Especially with devices I don't have, i.e. soundbar etc.

I used zigbee2mqtt with great results. Still have the zigbee sniffer usb and the cc debugger if you want them? All yours for a forum donation.

Happy to get involved with testing or coding or anything.

I'll PM you.
