LOL, how silly. A federated community going unfederated is just a small echo chamber. See ya beehaw!

Is this just for IR or RF and IR? If both I am bummed lol…

Omg I could kiss you. Reddit has been an excellent bullshit filter for google but the blackouts made it tough.

For sure. I would honestly love to not but I work from home so it’s easy to watch a movie and wait for a teams notification if I’m needed :)

Definitely curious, how do you set these up and what do you recommend getting?

With iPhone shortcuts, you don’t actually read anything off the tag, it just recognizes it and runs a shortcut that calls a home assistant entity (least that’s how I do it).

Me too, home assistant integration in google is lackluster to say the least. I think it’s mostly Google’s fault but even just like devices not showing their correct state is pretty annoying…
