lavender stoechas not looking great

Planted these last year but they don't look very healthy to be honest and never really bloomed like we had hoped is there anything I can do to improve them ?

Total noob questions

So I have one of these for my daughter's room I replaced the light with a ZigBee led strip that goes around the inside perimeter. But I'm wondering with a wled strip could I make it look like it's raining at the bottom and rest of the cloud white or like the Sun is coming through the clouds at the top etc ?

Eufy Clean L60 SES consumables

​

The vacuum entity works fine — starts, stops, docks, battery reads 100%,

no errors. But Filter, Rolling Brush, Side Brush and Dust Bag are all

stuck on Unknown and have been for a while.

I'm fairly sure I had filter life showing at some point, though I've had

a couple of different forks installed over the years so I might be

misremembering which one it was.

Two things I'd like to know:

  1. Does anyone with an L60 or L60 SES have these actually populating, and

    on what version?

  2. If I turn on debug logging, which DPS keys hold the consumable values

    on this model? I've seen 152/153 mentioned for status but nothing for

    consumables.

I can fake it with a runtime counter and template sensors, but I'd rather

pull the real numbers off the vacuum than estimate and keep correcting it.

Cheers.

Keypads for home assistant

So I don't use alarmo I actually have a eufy keypad that controls the modes on a homebase 2. Those modes basically control my security automations and alot of just general automations. But I'm looking to move away from it. I've a good zigbee network but it doesn't have to be a ZigBee keypad. I have even contemplated replacing a light switch at my front door to a ns panel 120 and using the alarm card. Any recommendations on keypads that have at least a night mode.

Smart home for in laws

So I use home assistant but i think that would be way too complicated for them. They'd like a smart alarm system with wireless contact sensors and motion sensors. I can't seem to find a ZigBee based alarm panel and sensors. I was thinking maybe a tuya/smartlife system as they would like to be able to control it via Alexa

​

Any ideas would be great 👍

Additional battery with AC coupling

I have an ecoflow stream microinverter but switching to a marstek one with 4mppts. I'm looking at something that would be able to charge overnight as well. Something around the 400-500e I know the b2500 would be an option but I can't have it where my inverter is so looking for something I can keep in a loft

Unicorn blind motor

Sooooo I have an aqara E1 blind motor going unused and wanted to use it with a blind in our bedroom but my wife wants to still be able to use the blind manually. Is there anything that would work manually and smart ? I get that the blind motor probably wouldn't know it's position if it's being changed manually
