 John Ericson | I am a bit negatively-polarized against home assistent because they hate distros | 00:11:07 |
| John Ericson | (or so I remember) | 00:11:13 |
 hexa | one guy who works for nabu casa was a bit ugly towards us, but we have since moved on | 00:11:38 |
| John Ericson | ok that's good | 00:11:50 |
| John Ericson | https://www.reddit.com/r/MatterProtocol/comments/1bzjw5n/warning_matter_integration_for_the_midea_u_window/ probably wouldn't work anyways | 00:12:36 |
| John Ericson | I just wish I could drop a private key and ssh to this thing, cause I assume it has wayy exess computing power | 00:12:57 |
| hexa | midea and matter 😠| 00:12:59 |
| hexa | got a porta split, which was advertised with matter, but came entirely without it | 00:13:15 |
| John Ericson | a porta split? | 00:13:34 |
| John Ericson | new concept to me | 00:13:39 |
| John Ericson | I know mini-split, window, and all-internal portable | 00:13:47 |
| hexa | that is the model name | 00:13:51 |
| John Ericson | this is a secret 4th thing? | 00:13:53 |
| John Ericson | ah | 00:13:55 |
| hexa | so you can first try whether matter works for you | 00:15:12 |
| hexa | does it have a sticker to pair? | 00:15:24 |
| John Ericson | it didn't work with the google thing because google said I had to buy some other google device to act as a hub | 00:15:49 |
| John Ericson | I didn't try anything with nixos yet | 00:15:53 |
| hexa | a nest hub most likely 😄 | 00:16:08 |
| hexa | something something killed by google | 00:16:22 |
| John Ericson | hehe | 00:16:45 |
| John Ericson | fuschia in the home? | 00:17:04 |
| hexa | in the simplest case the ac has a sticker that you can scan with the home-assistant mobile app to bring it onto your WLAN and into home-assistant | 00:17:08 |
| hexa | NOU | 00:17:11 |
| hexa | once you have it on the WLAN network, other integrations might work as well | 00:18:16 |
| hexa | we have two (midea_ac_lan and midea-air-appliances-lan) in home-assistant-custom-components, and one in an open PR (msmart-ng) | 00:18:49 |
| hexa | you'll want to start with https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Home_Assistant#Declarative_configuration and add matter to extraComponents as well as enable the matter-server service | 00:20:18 |
| hexa | * you'll want to start with https://wiki.nixos.org/wiki/Home_Assistant#Declarative_configuration and add matter to extraComponents as well as enable services.matter-server.enable | 00:20:36 |
| John Ericson | thanks hexa | 00:37:26 |
| John Ericson | sorry I missed that | 00:37:28 |
