Unfortunately this will no longer be possible with the mg21 chip used in the blue switches. See Eric’s post linked below:

Who shot Mr burns, part 1!
Woah really? I love learning such simple facts - thank you!
My favorite is Kalamata olives and pepperoni, but your post reminded me that fennel and sausage is easily a close second - did not expect to like that flavor combination at all (really just not a fennel fan). Everyone should try it if they get the chance!
I started with ZHA, but moved to Z2M because there was an automation blueprint I needed that was only coded for z2m.
Gotta say, I’m a much bigger fan of the z2m interface. There’s nothing wrong with ZHA but unless something major changes, I don’t see the need to ever switch back.
This was a surprisingly well thought out and educational article - thank you! Was expecting a super basic article for the masses, but this had a number of quality suggestions, pros and cons of the different options, and even the authors personal opinion on preference of Z2M in case the reader wanted a real suggestion.
Thanks so much for this!
Only thing I think I noticed that could be corrected is OTA updates are no longer exclusive to Z2M - ZHA recently added this too, though I haven’t tried it yet and don’t see a reason to ever switch back from Z2M.
FYI- I received an email the other day that sonos officially added voice control for Spotify!
Clickbait title. The real story here is expanding agriculture into the desert isnt sustainable, which is nothing new.
lol I like that pause button idea!
Agreed to not overdo it. I’m trying to coach my SO on every automation so she can appreciate the added convenience too, which means keeping the automations logical and simple.
My one exception to this is two light switches that will turn all lights in the house on or off with a quadruple press, in case I’m on my way out the door or to bed and want to make sure I turn off any lights I forgot about. That one I figure has to be hard enough to press that someone can’t accidentally turn on the bedroom lights in the middle of the night.
The only thing inovelli is missing is presence detection. I have two of their upcoming mmWave switches on preorder that should take care of that though!
Fingers crossed! I know one YouTuber I follow mentioned it in his “2024 predictions” - wasn’t sure if he was pulling ideas out of his butt or if there had been actual commitment to this idea. Your comment gives me hope it’s the latter!
This is what I went with and god they are amazing. Automations can be made for pressing up, down, and the configure buttons for a hold, single, double, triple, quadruple, or event quintuple press.
The only challenge is remembering what all of your automations are! But I use the double press automation daily to save me from running downstairs to turn off the lights and could not be happier with this product!
It’s not much, but my garden is living off VERY minimal effort from me this year. Hoping to upgrade my setup next year with better soil, but they still seem to be surviving at least!
Tomatoes seem to be thriving in the carotas tic soil I gave them (not shown)

Post your own setups here if you don’t mind!!

It wasn’t a great show, but the last season seemed to be settling into the swing of things. Disappointed that this is the end this - this show filled a nostalgic void in my life. Keyword says they’re gonna try to shop the show but I’d be surprised to see anyone pick it up at this point..
