Location - USA

I want a smart lock that can:

  1. Integrate well with home assistant
  2. Has finger print reader
  3. Supports NFC/ apple key

What are some of your favorite locks?

I really like lockly visage, but lack of home assistant support is turning me off

I wanted to give me experiences so far of Voice PE. Also hoping to see if I'm doing anything wrong of missing anything.

I just don't see how people are able to use this as a replacement for something like Alexa. My biggest issues are:

  • Inability to simply say one single sentence. I have to say the Wake word, then wait, then start speaking. In Alexa, I can just say "Alexa what temperature is it?". Can't do that in Voice PE - which is a big issue in my opinion.

  • Trust that it will hear the wake word. Alexa will hear all of us 95% of the time. Voice PE is about 50% and only if the room is quiet.

  • Getting it to play music through my sonos speaker is near enough impossible. I am using Music Assistant. With Alexa, I can just say "Alexa, Play Coldplay". Trying to get that to work in Voice PE just doesn't work.

  • When playing music on my Sonos, which is next to the Voice PE, the wake word will never get heard as it doesn't lower the volume of the music when it detects someone talking to it, like Alexa will.

I have it hooked up to ChatGPT, which is waaaaay better for some things, but it's slow. I will consider running a local LLM, but am struggling to justify the cost of doing it properly to be able to compete with ChatGPT.

As it stands, there is simply no way I can replace Alexa. This is mainly due to other members of the house (wife and kids) simply can't use Voice PE.

Anyone have any tips?

I finally decided to share one of my personal coding projects publicly for the first time: SubSyncForPlex.

I built it to solve a small but annoying problem I kept running into with Plex. I use Bazarr to automatically download subtitles whenever I add new stuff to my library, but sometimes the timing would still be off. Plex’s built-in subtitle syncing helps a little, but it doesn’t always fix it either.

After getting tired of manually running subsync on my laptop every time my wife spotted out-of-sync subtitles, I built a simple Python service that handles it for me.

SubSyncForPlex:

  • Accepts a webhook request with a Plex media ID
  • Finds the media and matching subtitle files through the Plex API
  • Uses subsync to realign them
  • Can send status updates back to Home Assistant and refresh playback if you're still watching

I run it in Docker and tied it into Home Assistant so I can just tap a button on my dashboard to sync subtitles and reload the stream without getting off the couch.

I put together a blog post that walks through what it does and how to set it up: SubSyncForPlex + Home Assistant - Sync Plex Subtitles and Refresh Playback | ChrisHansen Tech

Would love to hear what you think or if you run into any issues setting it up.
