With my breathing issues it is time I got something to monitor the indoor air quality in my home.
So I purchased this
It was really pricey at $250.00USD but it was well regarded and works with home assistant.
Hopefully we can find out what is going on and resolve these asthma (and dog coughing) issues.

Surprised lack of sleep has not hit yet.
I been napping and that in itself is not good, but can’t find time to sleep.
Anyway, hoping to go to bed early.
Still messing around with home assistant.

Got some new sensors installed
Got some temperature humidity barometric pressure sensors.
But that bottom unit should be familiar and is not new.
I flashed the unit with tasmota which should make management of the device easier.
Tasmota is the software I envisioned but someone more clever already built it.
Finally getting my steps in.

Ran out of time, got a lot done but not to the degree I wanted.
I was hoping to move work to downstairs but not sure now.
I may just move now, but garage isn’t where I want it to be.
Upstairs living room is really close though.
I do have all my units in production now though.

There is this about 9 mile route called Lake young my kids have done.
Not even close to having the legs to do this. But I am putting it on the list to do.
Got couple things done today, lights are up (the two that was delivered).
Speaking of delivery, first time a received a bag with nothing in it from Amazon.
On the IoT space, the RXB12 are all in (except for 1 intentionally not). Tomorrow they get installed in their production locations.
Officially over 340, even with the walk I was 340.4 but this is the official.

For a much cheaper unit, I paid 19.65USD which includes shipping and tax for 15 units, I think it is worth it.
Still not close like the whatever the Sonos uses but better than the RXB6.
I am going with these modules from now on.
I actually got my fitbit steps and floors in.

I did clean and I started working through some of the list I have, but I find myself going back to the smart home stuff. Today I was trying to make sense of the kasa stuff in Home Assistant.
The names were all over the place, they were different in Kasa, different in DNS/DHCP, different in Home Assistant. I think renaming them really broke stuff.
Also it is compounded because only the app can rename some devices. (EP10 devices)
Anyway, I did work on some things, purchased some containers and bags for the cable. Got the label printer ready (need to still test) and I did clean a bit.

I was supposed to start focusing on cleaning and get some sleep.
Did neither had problems sleeping and kept working on my home automation.
To make things worse I purchased more Zigbee devices.
I should get some sleep early today.

In the last few posts I showed I was working on Arduino stuff (home monitoring to be specific). I need to change my efforts and work on cleaning. Waiting on parts anyway.
3D Printer is churning through one more thing now and after that I will not touch for at least a week.
I am committing to getting the garage done by Sunday night. During the rest of the week I will find time to clean up my office.
Yesterday was a good workout, do not want to over do it.

Scavaneging parts from old systems to continue with my project. I swear there were a couple of RXB6 around the house. Anyway I ordered more even though I have been told the RXB12 perform better.
Just have to wait till more parts come in.
Finally build something that looks professional, like something purchased. It is a relay with a 12V DC barrel that fits. Works too.
Also built a 433mhz transmitter. I had one before but this one is based on tasmota.
Also actually accomplished my fitbit goals today. Woohoo.
