Tim在租房的限制下,使用Home Assistant和Zigbee设备(主要是IKEA产品)实现了家居自动化,主要集中在照明控制上。他遇到的挑战包括IKEA设备的固件更新问题、Zigbee设备配对困难以及部分功能无法实现(例如开关绑定)。尽管如此,他仍然对Home Assistant的潜力充满信心,并计划逐步完善系统,扩展到任务管理、AI辅助、故事书阅读同步灯光、花园自动化等方面。 Phil主要从澳大利亚租房法律的角度出发,阐述了租客在进行家居自动化改造时面临的限制,并对Tim在租房条件下进行家居自动化的尝试表示理解和支持。他与Tim就Zigbee设备的稳定性、配对问题以及多设备协同工作等方面进行了深入探讨,并分享了一些经验和建议。
