Aside from Zigbee, Zwave, Bluetooth radios, what are some other interesting physical USB devices do you have hooked up to your Home Assistants?

for those of you that want to connect your homelab over wifi ( esp if you got a pi cluster) - I use the https://smile.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-TL-MR3020-V3-Portable-Wireless/dp/B078GXZJHP/ TP Link tl-mr3020 as an AP, and i pair that with the https://smile.amazon.co.uk/NETGEAR-Gigabit-Ethernet-Managed-GS108Ev3/dp/B00N2JPKEC/ Netgear GS108E managed switch

My next 2 projects:

• Setting up Hayward AQ-CO-HOMENET AquaConnect to manage my pool/spa with HomeAssistant → HomeKit

• Setting up Ambient Weather WS-7078 Smart Weather Station w/ WiFi with HomeAssistant and Rachio, to cut down on unnecessary watering.

Home Assistant has been in the top 20 most active projects on GitHub for 3 years in a row.

To put that in perspective, it’s in 4th place after #kubernetes.

I’ve recently set this up to modernize a 20 year old ADT (honeywell 20p) alarm system. Lots of satisfaction getting it up and running. Then exported via HomeKit so I can control it via my apple watch/phone. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/envisalink/
