What Automation are you most Proud of ?
Then, I make a HomeKit automation that automatically (without any silly confirmation on my iPhone) switches my Home alert system status to Away when I am not at home (based on geofencing) and conversely, switched it to Disarmed when I come home. You would say: this is not possible, dumb Apple does not allow this with security devices. And you're right. That's why I circumvent this moron attitude by using a dummy switch in the middle. The geofencing Home automation controls the Switch On/Off status, and that virtual switch has its own automation that control the security system status. That way, it works! The HomeKit switch is in fact a cheap ESP8266 DIY board flashed with Home Accessory Architect (HAA) open-source firmware (esp-homekit-devices repo on GitHub). But such virtual switch can also be created with homebridge. Or you can use a true Homekit physical socket for example.

Any possibility to update this smart switch
But for homekit there seems to be this firmware: https://github.com/RavenSystem/esp-homekit-devices

Ceiling fan control (in-fan)
I've had great experiences with the Sonoff iFan04-L with the Home Accessory Architect firmware -- I don't know if having to flash new firmware is a complete deal-breaker for you, but that combination of hardware and software is fantastic in my experience. I've installed two iFan04-L units with that firmware and have a third that I intend to install soon (while replacing knob and tube wiring to that particular fan). Flashing the bootstrap firmware is straightforward and quick with a USB UART device, after which there's some setup to do (enter wifi password and configuration script), and once that's done it's more or less a native HomeKit device for all intents and purposes.
- Are there any HomeKit in-line smart switches like this? Native or via Homebridge.
- Can I have HomeBridge, Home Assistant & Plex/NAS on the same Raspberry Pi 4?
-
Any HomeKit accessories for this?
I replaced 2 of those with Sonoff switches that where flashed with raven to make them HomeKit compatible. https://github.com/RavenSystem/esp-homekit-devices

Need help to create JSON string, ESP8265 2 relays
Hello, I'm trying to build a smart socket with 2 channels (2 relays), I'm doing this with the help of a Wemos D1 Mini and the project https://github.com/RavenSystem/esp-homekit-devices

I built a HomeKit Temperature and Humidity sensor using ESP8266-01S and DHT20
I think you could achieve the same functionality with it without homebridge as a gateway: https://github.com/RavenSystem/esp-homekit-devices

A Custom Zigbee Doorbell
Have you considered Zigbee2mqtt[0]? You'd be running an extra program, but the docs are really good, it's pretty lightweight, and MQTT is incredibly easy to talk to from python or basically anything else.

Thoughts, learnings and regrets after three years on Home Assistant
For Zigbee, I can recommend using the Zigbee2MQTT (https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/) integration instead of HomeAssistant's built-in ZHA system. It might be a bit more complex to set up, but it's very powerful and works fantastically. (User "simon42" on YouTube has some good videos about the topic, but they're in German.)

Bad business broke the smart home
This is definitely better than many of the alternatives but still not perfect. With Zigbee etc you end up locked into one or more of the ecosystems, not to mention some manufacturers implementing it in a way that has weird quirks (see [1]). With esphome you have a limited choice of devices (would love to see more), but you also usually end up locked into keeping a 2.4GHz WPA2 AP for your devices (and you miss out on mesh, but also the problems when it doesn't work...)

- The Philips Hue ecosystem is collapsing into stupidity

Philips Hue will soon force users to create an account
I can recommend this: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/
You can keep your Hue bulbs and devices but threw away the app, hub, and need to work with hue as an institution at all.
I got a $30 USB zigbee stick to replace the hub. works great!

Any one know how to connect sonoff s31 to a mqtt server on 8883 (tls)
It looks like it uses zigbee? If you have a server you could run zigbee2mqtt. You'd also need a zigbee dongle / adapter.

Raspberry pi & a Sonoff USB dongle
If you want to use HA on your phone, you would need to install it on the pi, along with either ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT for the Zigbee network interface. Debian alone won't be able to interface with most of your smart devices.

New installation: setup everything in the lab or after the installation?
I still haven't understood if the devices will change the path using the better route or not (since I've just tested a bTicino switch K4003C and it keeps using the worst path with 1 or 0 signal quality over a near Ikea repeater with a signal quality of 50).
