@bdonvr @aksdb One zigbee device replaced by a thread device means that one node is removed from the zigbee network, making it smaller. Since it's a mesh network it will become less robust as a result. Likewise, the initial thread network will be very sparsely populated until a sufficient amount of devices has been added to it.

@HiTekRedNek @shortwavesurfer That's actually a good idea. We can go for days, sometimes weeks without checking the mailbox (it only gets ads). I wonder if there is a way to detect if the mail box contains mail, so it would just be a "You got mail" state, rather than "someone peeked into the mailbox.
Otherwise a two-sensor setup. One for incoming mail (Perhaps triggered by something being pushed through the slot), one for when the mailbox is opened, to reset the state.
@HollandJim @possiblylinux127 I had my mom running Linux. The biggest issues came from her expecting to having to install drivers and stuff when attaching a printer. " How do I make it work?" It just does. Linux issues only appeared because Windows is difficult.
@gedaliyah A related question: We have an alarm.com installation, and I would like to know if it is possible to reuse their hardware on home assistant, or if that's just too proprietary to use for anything. They are all wired.
