I'm intent on getting rid of Ubuntu since their embrace of AI, and would prefer to avoid any other distro based on Ubuntu, since that's just kicking the can down the road.

But a thorough search of the web for various versions of "Linux with no AI" only returns results that recommend AI infused distros and articles touting how great AI will be for Linux, or how to fix Linux using AI. 🤮

Can anyone recommend a distro that has proudly announced their refusal to ever consider adding #AIslop to their distro?

I'm no kind of a programmer, but anyboard offers a free, open way to use structured data to put a visualizer on an AppleTV. "JSON Schema describes all options for dashboards configuration."

No idea how to go about getting or structuring my data from HA to do this, but I wonder if anyone else who might just hasn't heard of https://anyboard.io/

Really don't want to/won't use AI to find my answer.

I’ve just moved my z-wave installation over from Indigo and to a happily surprising extent, the transition has gone very well.

However, several different PIR sensors from different brands (homeseer, Ecolink, VisionPro) are detected as lights by HA, even if they have, in some cases, configuration options that are related to a PIR. HA assigns them a bulb icon, and the only control shows as a switch with the name “Basic.”

Is this a known bug, and is there any way to get HA to reassign the correct sensor type to these devices short of un-including and re-including them? Is that likely to get them working?

I’m also seeing a ZP3102 PIR sensor by Vision Security that’s showing only as a “basic” sensor.

Any advice? These sensors showed up fine in Indigo.
