I used Hermes harness with Deepseek to register all my new IKEA matter sensors within an hour, then spent 1 day auto-assigning rules and automations based on my needs, and then I spent 7 days on graphical interface as I’m a 3d visual artist and needed to get my idea onto the screen ‘exactly’.
AI helped in getting the basic things done, even helped me ‘hack’ bathroom exhaust fan RF frequency so I can control it via HA.
There is nothing better than telling AI to rename the new device I added, to the naming standards I have, place it in a room and make an automation that does this and that only if…
Very grateful that AliExpress exists for buying $7 boards and antennas.
I went overboard with the interface, but I am still experimenting with what works for me visually.
