I have some automations using ZHA as the, I don't know what it'd called, the device is the coordinator, ZHA vs Z2M is a ___? Anyway I have a couple automations but mostly plugs for monitoring energy usage, in order to really start to expand usage I got the tuya remote and that's where things started to go south.

    That was going to be my next attempt, but it seems risky. Will home assistant recognize it as the same device when I plug it back in?

    All the backups in the world won't save me in that case. I haven't eve n been able to confirm what firmware versions there are. I don't want to have to start from scratch sawping the dongle back and forth.

    I guess I was hoping I was just missing something.

    Im falling down a hole here. Long story still long, but it started when got a Tuya remote and trying to integrate it. Im currently using the plain old Zigbee Home Automation (ZHA). The new remote got recognized fine, I could see button presses in events but I didnt know hot to use those to trigger events (nothing shows up when try to create an automation).

    I found some Zigbee2MQTT blueprints that look like they might work. So I went to install that. Z2M failed starting and is telling me I have a version 12 and I need to update my firmware. So I go to find out the manufacturer wants me to update via a webpage https://smlight.tech/flasher/#home

    How the hell do I do this on a headless raspberry Pi? I gotta install a fucking DE for this? ZHA doesnt recognize there is a update needed, hell I cant even tell what firmware version is installed (not that there is any indication what version the update will install).

    This is frustrating as hell.

    California next please.

    Personally, I would have it start 30 days after the law passes and be effective forever in order to maximize people quitting, but I see the argument that they are already participating in this shitshow so....

    I recently started using dried chicpeas cooked in an instant pot. It doesn't make a HUGE difference, but I do think it's a bit better for not much extra effort. I also experimented with adding konbu when cooking the peas. I think it did add some savoryness. Again not a huge difference but I did enjoy it.
