No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Something to consider then!
I'm currently using the AQIA brand Bluetooth temperature and humidity sensor for my basement. Aqia is just rebranded Tuya products sold via microcenter but they work fantastically for my purposes.

I just got an Aqara M3 hub as well as the temperature sensors today, and I’m already kind of wishing I hadn’t.
It’s next to impossible to get an Ethernet cable and/or power cable into the damn hub. It got my WiFi credentials but refuses to connect to it since I used Ethernet during setup.
Now I’m struggling to add it to Dockerized Home Assistant. I was under the impression Aqara was becoming Home Assistant “certified” but Home Assistant’s Thread/Matter support seems like trash.
Currently pulling another Docker image to my burdened Raspberry Pi 4. It ran out of disk space.
Just frustrated and not understanding why all this is so difficult. I can’t imagine what I’d do if I weren’t a big programming computer geek. They really sell this shit to normal people?
Man, I'm really sorry! My experience was super quick and easy. I added the hub (via wifi) then I added my temp sensor and added the Integration to home assistant.
Are you able to factory reset your hub and just start from scratch? Frustrating to do but if it leads to ease of use maybe worth considering?
You know, I think I was rushing through things too fast after a day of programming for 8 hours with close to no breaks.
After I calmed down, ate dinner and came back to it in a more leisurely fashion I found it to be pretty easy.
I think what got me was that I’m not too familiar with Matter and Thread, so having to have another Docker container going was unexpected and frankly I wasn’t in the mood to learn anything new.
The sensors seem to be reporting happily and often. I’m pretty impressed so far (other than the ports on the hub, but I can live with that).
