From Home Assistant 2022.3.1 - This has become even easier, WIZ integration is part of the core now, in the configuration menu the lights will be detected on your network so you can set them up through Config Flow using the user interface.
You introduced me to these Wiz bulbs - smile from this video. Must say the best bulbs around and so easy to use in HA. So wish you where in Melbourne, if I want to monitor my power usage from the fuse box in HA is there a good legal solution for a non sparky.
@@clairerovic A way to do that without mains wiring is by reading your power meter with a pulse counter, there are a few different projects out there that do that, for example the Home Assistant Glow but it might mean you have to do some assembly, I’ve seen a few on Amazon too but I don’t know if they are any good unfortunately. If your have an old rotary meter you can use a reed switch as most meters have a magnet on the that will pass the reed switch and will pulse it, most water meters and gas meters will have something like this as well for monitoring. You can get free apps on you phone that use your camera to measure the lights pulses on your meter if you want to play around and see how it works.
@@SparkyJames on fire thanks. Have a new Meter with Power Pal and Sunny Boy solar, grumble. Suspect I need two Shelly EM and save up $$$ for a sparky 😅😂🤣.
@@clairerovic There is a Sunny Boy Integration for Home Assistant it should work as it is to provide data to you, I did speak to someone near me and he got his sunnyboy connected to Home Assistant via wifi. You will need to do it during light hours as it turns off with no sun
I'm so glad I found this channel! It's great to find some Australia-specific home automation/lighting videos. And you include just the right level of detail and explanation. Thank you!
Hi Jimmy. First time here and new subscriber. Just wanted to say that your and also how much I appreciate your instruction style. Clear, informative and keeping it simple. Perfect. Looking forward to watching your other videos. 👍😎
There is a pull request waiting since January for this to be integrated into the Home Assistant core. Not sure what the delay is since it seems to have been waiting for several months now. github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/44779
I will consider in in the future, I have a love hate relationship with unifi, I love it when it's working but occasionally it dies and it drives me crazy.
Good onya Jimmy! Keep the videos coming. I just bought shelly1 now that they are approved in Aus (very excited), are they safe enough to install behind the switch plate with a gyprock wall?
Does this still work? have followed step by step and still cant create a entity the same way you do. I have no error message, but when i restart no entity are created
Wiz is now a core integration, go to your integrations tab, add integration, Wiz. Then either use discovery or add each light by IP address. Much easier.
I think you might need to turn on advanced mode, which you will find in the drop down side menu under your user profile which is the circle at the bottom with the user initials and the user name.

Hi I'm so excited to have you welcome
It looks like it's no longer in HACS.
Anyone have a repository for it? The link for HACS is no longer in the github page...

Excelente tutorial maestro. Gracias
Excellent video, thank you! Wouldn't mind a vid on Unifi smart home ideal settings, two ssids etc? Otherwise subbed and liked

Hi Sam, I would say yes, but i would be cautious to not have it hard against insulation thats often in the wall to avoid over heating.

i don't have the supervisor tab, can you help me?
