Blog2023 ≫ A less good day on home assistant

Added one IKEA motion sensor, and it's a bit patchy. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, this is a known thing, that you can possibly sort with some complicated set up.

Added another IKEA motion sensor, this one doesn't fully register as a motion sensor, I can't use the "sensed some motion" feature of it. This is also a known thing.

Turning the TV on did set all the lights for TV time today, that's good, but my chair-side TV button doesn't always seem to work.

Maybe it's not Home Assistant, maybe it's just this IKEA kit. It was working ok with the IKEA hub though. I'm going to go slowly with Home Assistant...
