Just found this, looks like I had already tried home automation software Deconz. This is a thing I was thinking of trying again as it's supposed to be better for making use of the IKEA Trådfri devices I have than the ZHA option in Home Assistant. But, it looks like it didn't work for me then and it's not working for me now! I will try again. Looks like I ought to have been able to get Home Assistant running just as easily using kit that I already had, ah well.
This weekend I must get my IKEA speaker lamps back online. They've both been out of action since the power cuts of last week.
Also on energy though, annoyed to find I missed THREE HOURS of free energy yesterday as I didn't see the email in time. Sign up here1 to join Octopus Energy and a) you can get in on the free energy next time, b) there is some new Octopus points scheme going on too, and c) we both earn £50.
