I have some xiaomi bulbs that used to work until I needed to re-pair them to a new wifi and (unofficial) integration kept asking me for pairing code - which is nowhere to be found. I probably got rid of the boxes where it's supposed to be located. Wonder if there's a workaround for that.

Better late than never, I have 3 of their bulbs in the house, and not being able to integrate with HA prevented me from buying more (at least before Matter was announced).

I've been using them with Google Home, so the lights weren't automated with HA. I'll try the integration out.

I didn't know what it was, so: https://www.home-assistant.io

It's the Land Rover of home automation systems.

(Very capable, but also making programmers out of home owners since 2012)

edit: I was referring to a sticker that I’ve seen often on enthusiasts' forum posts 'Land Rover - Proudly turning owners into mechanics since 1948'.

The old school Defender is a very capable off road vehicle, but its need for regular unscheduled maintenance is legendary.

Are Land Rovers extra hackable? Will be in need of a new car in a few years and that would help o.0

I include this when considering buying something integrated.

For example Philips Hue is overpriced, but their Home Assistant integration is top tier and ultra-reliable. Contrast that with myQ garage door openers (LiftMaster, Chamberlain and Craftsman) recently breaking Home Assistant support on purpose, to essentially replace it with nothing, and they're dead to me.

So Xiaomi adding support, assuming it is reliable, definitely moves them into a better category.

I think they were referring more to Land Rovers making mechanics out of car owners (Due to their famously bad reliability), but I may have misunderstood the joke.
