Migrating From Reddit
Migrating From Reddit
Any other Home Assistant users migrating over from Reddit with all the api BS that's going on? If so, what's your current project? Mine is to convert my Docker instance over to HAOS.
My current project is an ESP-based irrigation system for the garden. But I am still reading up on solenoid vavlves and havent bought any hardware yet.
Another Reddit refugee here. I have to say I miss the much busier traffic in Reddit though for not just this community, but all communities in general.
Yes, came over from reddit. Spinning up my own Lemmy to contribute something to the Fediverse, and trying to set up monitors for it.
Yep moving over here as well. Currently waiting on my coral to decide if I need more hardware or not since frigates pegging my NUCs CPU with the detection
Nice. I still need to get one of those and get my cameras set up. My server is better equipped to handle Frigate, but that's not all I want to do with it.
Yep, the second Sync stopped working I stopped visiting. As for projects my current long-term one is working on getting away from a RasPi + docker setup to either a bare metal or proxmox with HAOS. For my short term I'm working on modifying the chore tracker by u/maceinjar on Reddit to allow you to switch from an interval of days to hours, and enabling recurrence based on the due date, not the completed date.
Yea I just checked whether this community might exist and here it is. I don't have any current big project. Just running my homeasistant yellow pretty happily.
Another rexxitor checking in!
Im already on HAOS as a VM on my main desktop. Currently waiting on a Coral edge TPU to ship later this month so I can finish setting up my outdoor security cameras, and write some smarter automation around my security lights.
I also want to set up more indoor presence and air quality sensors. I'm considering an ESP32 project to make an all-in-one sensor with millimeter radar, light, temp, humidity and notice sensors, possibly also CO, CO2, H2S and PM2.5 sensors.
That sounds awesome! I just made my first esphome project a bit ago. Seems like that would be a pretty fun one to set up.
I'm here from reddit as well.
Over the past couple days I've been working on getting my Amcrest cameras working and displaying on the dashboard along with general tinkering like adding Adaptive Lighting to test out.
I'd like to dig deeper into custom dashboards but it's a steep learning curve and I've gotten overwhelmed and discouraged each time I've tried it. I wish they would create a theme store or way to import other people dashboards so that you can just add your own entities and you're good to go.
You don't have an Amcrest doorbell. Do you? I've heard good things about them, but haven't bought one yet.
I don't. So far just the POE cameras which are great. The NVR works fine but the software/UI leaves a lot to be desired
Yeah, Reddit native app is crap.
Not a project but I'm currently adding my TV as a device and play around with casting media.
I just used the Android TV Remote integration to replace my Chromecast Ultra remote. It's awesome. So much more functionality than the remote. The only problem I've had is getting Jellyfin to be launched in one button press. There's some problem, that I don't fully understand, having to do with the Jellyfin app.
Yep, deleted Relay earlier this week and have been exploring here. Don't really miss it although a bit interested in the drama and if Reddit will have any true ramifications. I was there for the Digg to Reddit exodus and this feels very similar.
My next project is to get my entity naming fixed and consistent. I've not started yet and I'm not even sure what the right approach long term approach is....
If it's any help I typically name things by Company > Location > Function like Aqara bedroom light switch or WLED coffee table
Not sure if this is the best approach either but with 50+ devices and countless entities, its going okay so far.
Ha, doing the same thing right now. Both the Reddit and converting from Docker to Home Assistant OS part.
Bought an Odroid-M1 that's waiting just for this. Currently using a Pi 4 with Docker.
Haha. Great Minds, I guess. I'm trying to switch TO an RPI4. I love the docker version, but I want better uptime and addons. Eventually, I want to move to a Yellow, but the CM4s are still so hard to find at the moment. Just ordered a SkyConnect too. Gotta see how that shakes out.
I got HAOS installed on the RPI4, but the thing won't connect to my network for some reason. Using POE an due need to troubleshoot.
Finally fixed this. It turns out hassos won't boot from a hard drive when you have it plugged into the 3.0 ports.
