I got mine working with sync on my nextcloud self hosted instance

I’m legitimately asking because I’m curious, not trying to start a flame war here…

What features are you missing in LibreOffice Calc that you use in Excel? I personally use Calc at home, but can’t get away with it a work because of imaginary numbers. (Although most things I’ve just moved to using Python + Pandas because both programs can’t handle large datasets very well)

Similar idea, but a different service if you like gotify: https://github.com/tystuyfzand/gotify-smtp

For my own morbid curiosity, why Zigbee?

If you don’t want to learn ESP Home yet, but you’re ok with Wifi, here’s a sensor that uses ESPHome, but is all pre-programmed and ready to go with Home Assistant. I haven’t used this produce yet, but the other products from Apollo are pretty awesome.

I have a Reolink Doorbell. We have about the simplest/cheapest mechanical chimes you can get. (2 total, one on each floor). The Reolink said I should disconnect the chimes and use their electronic ones, because it might mess up the doorbell if I didn’t. I ignored this advice, and the Reolink still rings the mechanical chimes when somebody presses the button. I have yet to see any issues with the Reolink. I did plug in their wireless chime also, and it rings too.

So I would say, YMMV, but there’s a good chance a Reolink will still ring your chimes.

You’ll want to research “room presence” systems.

Here’s one I’ve been looking at implementing for an example: https://espresense.com/

NTFY Any reason to pick NTFY over Gotify? I’ve been using Gotify for quite a while with good luck, but I would switch if there was a compelling reason.

“I’m never moving it again…”. As a larger guy that owns a pickup truck, I wish I had a nickel for everytime I heard that about a big rack I help move. (Or a baby grand piano, pool table, or gun safe) :)

I have installed 3 of these now. A little expensive for an outright cost, but well worth it when you see how easily it integrates with the garage door openers. You can a ton of information out of it and some other goodies like parking sensors. They did a great job of making it really easy to install and straight forward to add to Home Assistant. You save a ton of money in the long run over a MyQ subscription.

My server uses about 6-7 kWh a day, but its a dual CPU Xeon running quite a few dockers. Probably the thing that keeps it busiest is being a file server for our family and a Plex server for my extended family (So a lot of the CPU usage is likely transcodes).

Have you looked into the Shelly Plus?

Paired with one of these?

I haven’t installed them yet, but I just ordered some to use for floor heating. They work with Home Assistant, so I plan on using it for the logic and I’ll incorporate the in floor thermostat with them. I also will use a separate sensor in the room for humidity and temp for my automation.

Our dishwasher and washing machines take long enough that sometimes that notification is for the same person that started it. I’ve started the dishwasher and then gone about my business doing things, completely forgetting the dishwasher. This way I remember to go unload it and start it again. (We do a lot of cooking/baking at home, so our dishwasher probably gets ran ~2 times on a weekday and sometimes 4+ times on weekend days)

The washing machine is similar. Nice to know there’s wet clothes in the machine that need moved to the dryer so I don’t forget them. I don’t automate the dryer finishing because the clothes in there are fine if they sit.

No downvotes or death threats from me! Start however you want or it happens to start! I started by watching TNG on air with my Dad as a kid, which is probably why I like the 90s shows so much. I’m really not sure how younger people find an entry point into the older shows because they just don’t have the same feel as the newer shows, IMHO, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t enjoy them.

I watched Picard and enjoyed it. I probably will never rewatch it like TNG, but it was a fun distraction. I’m glad others are enjoying it.

Finally getting back to this. I only recently discovered I can use the diagnostics port to try and control it directly. I’m probably going to attempt that but need to get some hardware.

I still don’t seem to have any issues with connecting or disconnecting.

I just upgraded to the 2024.10.1 version and I’m not currently having any issues with my Rheem Econet integration. I have nothing about it in my logs that I can see. Let me know if there’s something specific you want to see.
