Full-stack software developer in Java/Kotlin/JVM world, with a bit of Go for services, and React and TypeScript for FE.

I love #foss, and technology respecting the user’s privacy and is not trying to deny people of full control over thing they paid for and legitimately own.

Hobbyist in #SmartHome, #HomeAssistant, #Zigbee. I like #MikroTik for networking, and #NixOS for desktop.

    I am running Aotect Zi-Stick (ZGA008), but I would probably go with Sonoff ZBDongle-E, which is based the same EFR32MG21 chip, but has external antenna.

    I recommend to use #Zigbee2MQTT because it’s decoupled from home automation software:

    - ability to switch software in future without repairing all devices in different software,
    - no duplication of efforts to add device support in multiple softwares,
    - ability to run (or evaluate) different software in parallel against the same Zigbee network.
