Wusstest du schon, dass Home Assistant im April bekanntgegeben hat, dass das System 2 Millionen Haushalte einsetzen? Wohl verdient würde ich sagen. Und ein herzliches Glückwunsch Übrigens: Was ist deine Lieblings-Automation? #HomeAssistant #SmartHome #Automation #IoT

Today's #Kubernetes #HomeLab update:

I moved the last pieces that were lingering on hypnotoad into the cluster. That includes #HomeAssistant and MQTT. I went with EMQX because it seemed pretty easy to cluster-ify, and it's working great.

No big learnings today, just a sense of accomplishment that now the important pieces of homeprod are running in k8s so I can pave hypnotoad this week and get some actual redundancy.

Na das hat doch perfekt gepasst zu #Ostern !

Unser #homeserver läuft nun - wenn man es so nennen will - auf "Stage 1":
- 2 VMs und mehrere Container
- #HomeAssistant und #MQTT
- #zigbee2mqtt
- #craftycontroller
- #pihole
- #vikunja und #planka (im Test)
- @dawarich

Und der Intel N97 schlägt sich bisher ganz gut. Im Schnitt unter 25 % Auslastung. Nur der RAM wird wie erwartet in absehbarer Zeit etwas eng ...

Fine, I'll try #HomeAssistant!
Join me on YouTube, as I may need a tip or two to get through the setup! The stream starts now!

Anybody out there know how to root really old #Android tablets in the year 2025 CE? I have a Dell Venue 3730 that is running KitKat (4.4.2) and that's the most modern thing it can run. I've been searching around the net for options and so much of it either (a) requires Windows (which I don't have) or (b) has died because of link rot, or (c) doesn't go back as far as Android 4.

I want to point this thing at a #homeassistant dashboard and make it like a remote console. But I can't get kiosk mode on something so old without rooting it (I think).

Also, the HTML that comes natively out of Lovelace is way too complex for #Chrome 32.0, which is what I have on the tablet. It just displays the HA logo and I never see more.

So I will need a simpler, possibly not websocket-based way, to load dashboards on HA, as well.

Any #mobile or #homeautomation folks have good pointers on how to do this?

My latest #linux project. A wrapper to recieve a stream from ffmpeg and listents for motioneye to connect.

Now i can use the webcam of my windows 10 tabet i use as #homeassistant panel as a real webcam.

I'm using my international radio on my Home Assistant Yellow for Thread so I added a Sonoff ZigBee dongle. I really hate large USB dongles hanging out the back of things, so I took the opportunity to finally learn FreeCAD and design a new top shell that could house that dongle internally. A few painful hours of trial and error, one U-Shaped USB extension, and one short antenna extension later and it's looking much cleaner! It is a shame I don't have a resin printer or know how to use one, because it would have been nice to keep the translucent plastic aesthetic. (an atomic purple shell would be so rad!) But I'm really happy with it overall.

What if you want to see a list of news items on your #homeassistant dashboard?
With this tutorial, you can do that yourself! This one took me more time than expected...

Hat jemand Erfahrung mit automatischen #katzenklos und #homeassistant und kann ein Modell empfehlen?

I think! It is time to clean up this mess in #HomeAssistant / #HomeKit

Almost all of these entities are being synced to HomeKit from my HomeAssistant setup.....

Tonight, I'm doing something totally out of my comfort zone! I'm trying #HomeAssistant for the first time in my life. Is it as easy as everyone says? Want to see me fail/succeed? The livestream starts at 7 PM UTC.

The terminology used in the #CANopen standard really does my head in: "downloading" means "sending to a server", uploading means "receiving from a server"

A funny father/son moment.

In my journey with #homeassistant, I converted from a 4-year old docker installation to a VM running HAOS. I have been renaming devices and redoing touchscreens and dashboards. A few things aren’t quite right.

My college age (CS Major) son presses a button labeled “small lamp” and it lights up as active. But the lamp doesn’t come on. I say “Yeah. I renamed some devices. I think your mother’s sewing machine is turning on and off.” And he responds “I think that is the most Dad thing you’ve ever said.”

Then he makes a funny reference to The Castle ¹. He says “This home automation system is worth almost as much today as when we bought it.“ we had a laugh.

#dadlife #homeautomation

¹ It’s a hilarious and good natured Australian film. A bit of a sleeper hit or cult classic. at the beginning of the film, the house is a mess of DIY and eccentric choices. It’s at the end of a busy airport runway. And the narrator, a teen son who idolises his funny dad, narrates something along the lines of “Dad reckons the house is worth almost as much now as when he bought it.” A funny, low-key line you can miss if you’re not careful.

I do not think this is true.
