Hi there.

Just got a nice temperature and humidity sensor (Ubibot WS1 Pro), and I want to practice a little with automations, since I'm just a beginner.

I'd like to make an auto that "if the temperature outisde is higher than the one inside - send a message to the phone to open the window".

This is purely a test. in the long run I'd love to plug it to the ceiling fan, measure the temperature of the double ceiling and the temperature at the bottom, and trigger the fan to move air around. But this is story for another time (when I'll have the fan as well).

So far, the problem I see is that if I put the ubibot as trigger, I only see "when temperature changes", and I only have options like "above or below" x.

on the other side, when I set up "and IF", I put the entity forecast, temperature, then it ask me to fill up "state".

How can I read the data from one source and combine to the other?

Sorry for very trivial and silly question, but this should be a good practice to understand how HA works

Hi Internet folk.

I'm back again discussing my curse of slow internet, which affect me since I visit a Pharaon tomb.

anyway...

I'm trying to close up the problem, and I think I found something odd:

If there is too much load on the network, my 5G network explode. The funny thing is, the 2G is still ok, but it is extremely slow.

for example, on my computer I only have the 5G saved, which measn, when internet collapse, I just lose connection for 5 minutes, until it reset itself.

on phone and other devices instead, it goes to an extreme slow interent, until eventually the 5G reconnects.

The question I have today, Is this a router or a line problem?

I have a buffalo router (this) and I've contacted support multiple times, hoping to get it fixed before warranty expired (now i'm out unfortunately).
It's no doubt that the line sucks. I pay for a 1Gbit, I get 400Mb/s out of the router via lan if nothing else is connected. on a real "life test", where there is few phone, pcs, and such attached, I go around 100 Mb/s.

Up until it collapse. I noticed that when my wife gets home, it often collapse.
Few days ago we were doing 2 call on zoom from different rooms and boom. internet collapse. 5 minutes spend on "can you hear me" from both me and her. (She connected to her phone afterwards).

But the fact that only the 5G goes down, and the 2G stay live, smell like Buffalo trouble to me, even though service doesn't aknoledge.

On the line side, I'm blocked. I live in Japan, and we got a line included in the rent, but it's a very cheap/easy going company. There is no even a webpage login.
Name is chintainet.jp and they don't even have support. they have an "inquiry" button that goes to sales.

So. I'm stuck. I'm writing this while I'm waiting for the 5G line to go back online.....

on phone and other devices instead, it goes to an extreme slow interent (1 Mb download... no, not 1Gb. 1 Mb. a speed which even loading webpage became a pain).

Hi there!

We’re renovating a kominka in rural japan, and we’re thinking to put it on airbnb when we’re not there. We still haven’t decided yet.

Has anyone explerience with that, and can help me with few questions?

At the moment I’m puzzling about setting an outdoor camera, which could be useful to monitor when people comes in, and keep and eye on the wildlife.

I never set one up, and as I’m checking online, I’m entering a rabbit hole of thousands of models, makers, functions and such which I don’t really care.

One of the key question is that the contractor who will do the power system is setting the typical panasonic doorbell, the one that everyone one has, with typical screen inside.
Is there any way to have an IOT camera hooked up instead? I know in us a lot of people use ring doorbell camera, for instance.

Thank you very much!
