"IKEA, Veolia and others urge EU to keep packaging regulation on track"
#IKEA #EU #EuropeanUnion #Packaging
I'm getting into #IKEAHacking and #DIY, making some cabinet doors, raised garden beds, and "boxing in" existing IKEA wardrobes.
Don't have a huge budget, but what power tools should I prioritise? I have a drill, thinking some kind of saw, maybe a router? Hoping for advice from the hive mind!
#IKEA is replacing all #ZigBee based Smart Home devices by #Matter based ones. This might be the way to go for the future but it's forcing me to add yet another network to my #homeassistant just because I was too late to still get the perfectly fine ZigBee variant. 🫤
BTW: The new Matter devices come with a legacy ZigBee mode, but it only provides very basic functionality. The Grillplats switch does not provide power metering data over ZigBee.
