IKEA pairing somehow different than Zigbee binding?

Ikea pairing is Zigbee standard group binding via touchlink initiation. What is different is Home assistant, which doesnt really handle Zigbee groups.

But I'm also curious about the option in Home Assistant to bind devices.

If you mean zigbee group binding, in my experience Home Assistant doesnt handle Zigbee groups well. There is technical capacity and group manager, but to me it seems it doesnt correctly bind all of the action clusters and so on. Plus most finally the UI is very confusing etc. (That or I'm dumb and can't get it working right)

Home assistant handles grouped devices primarily inside its own logic and talks to them as individual devices. Which leads for example to stuff like non synchronous action. I don't think Zigbee groups either guarantee synchronicity, but it is pretty instant since it is single mesh wide broadcast of "whole group this, do this". Where as Home assistant send say ten different messages to ten different Zigbee devices. Thus there is delay and difference, when each device receives their individual command.

Most dedicated Zigbee hubs like trådfri and hue use actual Zigbee groups. When moving devices between "rooms" or whatever each call it, it sends actual configuration message of "change your internal registered group identity" to the lamps, remote controls and so on.

It's really good. One can just walk around and it prompts to complete information around. One can even do simple editing like add objects with the "things" layer like lamp posts benches and so on.

Just don't be surprised it asks things OSM already has. It is coded to periodically prompt users for check ups, if the information is still valid.

Also incase of new/missing roads one can record a GPX track and upload it with note for editors reference or for oneself to map on computer later on.

Plus earning badges and medals is light fun.

The important part of these are the "do, don't" orders of business conduct. Then on top small fine. Hence it isn't merely cost of doing business. The real stinger is "you can't offer choice of tracking or pay up. You must offer free choice to decline for consent based operations".

If they ignore the "do's and dont's" compliance order, then the big fines come out.

And this is how it is supposed to happen. By vote of democratic representative body. Not by President of the United States or President of the Commission of European Union body their sole decision being able to decide such stuff.

By the way there is chance this whole thing in USA is unconstitutional. Since the taxing power is Congresses. POTUS can only use it where Congress has delegate power to POTUS via law.

Well the law Trump is citing talks of POTUS having right to issue economic sanctions in case foreign power threatens USA in major way. POTUS declares emergency. However the law doesn't mention tariffs. Rather whole thing is based on Whitehouse creatively interpreting, that well tariffing is maybe kinda sanction.

Which is crazy to me is not the main talking point. It is "how much the rates are and how badly calculated those are". When it should be " International Emergency Economic Powers Act doesn't give you power to do that. It allows you to sanction and ban exports and so on. It does not give power to tariff. For that there is different international trade regulatory law. However that law sets strict procedure and due diligence limits. Hey Whitehouse why are you doing unconstitutional thing".

That should be every journalists question on interview. Not will he, won't he. It should be "This is illegal, right? The act gives no taxing powers. You are taxing Americans without power to do so. IEEPA doesn't authorize this."

Yeah pretty sure "thou shall know there is only, one one God and you shall believe in him" and

Article 10
Freedom of thought, conscience and religion

  1. Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This right includes freedom to change religion or belief and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or in private, to manifest religion or belief, in worship, teaching, practice and observance.
  2. The right to conscientious objection is recognised, in accordance with the national laws governing the exercise of this right.

from the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union are in pretty strict violation. Not very "you get to change your religion, if you wish, that book" Didn't get past like first 5 commandments of Torah/Talmud and already disproven, that EU values are talmud derived. If they were, Article 10 wouldn't exist.

Atleast for android and Bluetooth. Not an absolute matter protocol thing, but probably "normal android allows that only woth google signed app". Some OS access thing and so on. "You don't get to access that Bluetooth matter discovery call mode etc. without official sign off, security hurdur".

Since matter has ways to connected fully without Bluetooth depending on device. Bluetooth is just the easy simple way, instead of having to hunt for pairing QR symbols or number codes. Go to the other device makers app to activate pairing mode or generate one off pairing codes and so on.

That is what juries are for. Judges are supposed to be the specialist technocrats of legal system. Juries are then for "feelings of the society" matters. Most importantly nobody has to campaign or owe anyone large sums of money to get into jury.

Electing judges in the first place undermines trust in neutrality of the courts. Since it undermines neutrality of the courts. It makes judges make campaign promises they have to keep to not anger people and makes them indebted to their campaign financiers.

Like how is this supposed shocking new news just because someone spent finally even more money on a judicial election race. Word combination which shouldn't exist in the first place.

Well to EU, the federal government is responsible. If they don't have authority to intervene on behalf of EU-citizens rights being violated, it in itself would be treaty violation. Member states have duty to police and administer the rights. EU doesn't care is state federal or not, the singular member state entity is responsible to EU and it is up to member state to domestically organize so that treaties are followed.

They should take this to ECJ. If I understand what I read correctly, this is clear treaty violation by Germany. Freedom of movement isn't some "oh we observe it, when we like it" thing. It is treaty bound obligation by member states who have ratified treaties. Take this all the way to ECJ and have it bonk bundestag and chancellery over the head with clown hammer of "it is pretty stupid you think treaty obligations arent legally binding mwmber state".
