My boss and I were talking about Home Assistant in our 1:1 and I brought up HA is probably one of the only pieces of software I'm actually really excited to get updates for, and he shared that excitement. So many apps these days have nothing-updates that add nothing to the experience (or are just to shove more tracking or A/B tests in), but not HA! Every update is incredibly packed with really useful, fun, and polished features.
It's really a testament to everyone that works on Home Assistant that one can have such enthusiasm for a piece of software. It really is one of the most polished open source projects I've ever seen :)
Just thought I'd share some appreciation for all the contributors and community.

IPoAC is nothing without proper QoS though
Alan cox did try it in bergen one year though
winged obsidian
There's a paradigm shift. Previous tests have been based on comparing delivery by single avian carriers, ignoring "big sky bandwidth." There's a whole approach to QoS that hasn't been probed adequately through even statistical means. Which is all to say these experiments are by a bunch of flocking amateurs.

anyone know of any kind of poe smart switch? like a passthrough that cuts power to the device. would be nice if it was powered off the poe rather than some seperate power supply. maybe wifi or zigbee or even bt controlled
subtle pasture
@forest edge Like, you want to be able to cut PoE power to a downstream PoE device?
Because most managed PoE network switches have port control, and can do that
clear ferry
I've never seen a managed Poe switch that couldn't
I can't count the number of times a person has thought that shutdown will kill the power though
subtle pasture
That said, the only managed network switch I know of that can be powered by PoE (PoE PD), while also providing PoE power to further downstream devices, is the Cisco SG250-10P
clear ferry
Never seen that, only heard of it
Then again, I mostly work with spine leaf stuff these days
Very little campus
subtle pasture
It can provide between 22w and 62w of PoE power for downstream devices, depending on how you power it.
Looks like the going rate for a used one is $200
Your other option would be to use a PoE injector to supply power to your target PoE device, and then control power to the injector with a smart plug.

subtle pasture
You sure you can't just enable SNMP and tell it to turn the port on/off over that?
forest edge
no access
forest edge
well there are plenty of workarounds. just looking for something more compact and simple
can't be impossible for a device to be powered by the same poe it passes through while having the baility to cut power to the downstream via some means like BT or zigbee, wifi ect
just can't find a commercial product that does that
subtle pasture
I mean, I mentioned one: Cisco SG250-10P. But it kinda requires 60w PoE to power itself + downstream devices.
And it's a full 10-port managed PoE switch
forest edge
as of right now my only "small" solution is to put the whole NVR on a smart plug since rebooting the device doesn't cut power
i need 1 port in and 1 port out.. small lol
subtle pasture
PoE splitter + smart relay + PoE injector?
Is this passive PoE or an actual PoE standard?
forest edge
poe injector on a smart plug is a workaround, but that's not compact
since from what I read those injectors can work on a poe line without passing the power beyond them
subtle pasture
Also, can the endpoint run off of DC rather than PoE?
forest edge
yes
subtle pasture
Ooooh, solution then!
forest edge
but again, thats not compact
forest edge
that requires there to be a plug at the location you install that
forest edge
oh i see
subtle pasture
It gets PoE and splits it out to non-PoE ethernet and a DC power output
So you power both the Shelly and the camera off of the DC jack, and loop the power back through the Shelly's relay before it goes to the camera
Shelly always gets power, camera is switched
If both the camera and she shelly run off 12v this is going to be real easy ๐
forest edge
but not compact
subtle pasture
It's the size of a PoE splitter with a Shelly sitting on top of it...
Does it need to be smaller than a deck of playing cards?
The only real downside is you then need to run a seperate cable for DC from the Shelly to the camera

Iโm an electrician and doing one for a public space where controversial infrastructure works cut off the feed to a clock and due to heritage areas it canโt be easily reinstated, so since itโs a very low draw we are doing off grid solar and Iโm just like โI could do a whole whole garden/outdoor watering and lighting project off this conceptโ
forest edge
wouldn't solar driveway lights be the same thing?
wintry hazel
The drive way lights would be;
forest edge
when you say segment I think you are refering to like running a portion of stuff inside your home on solar vs grid, like fridge etc
anything outside and seperate I don't see as being anything diffrent than any traditional solar light or even those solar fountain pumps
wintry hazel
But Iโm talking big, like if you have a full sized panel, MPPT charger, Deep cycle battery and are running a much bigger amount than a light or two
As I say, the job is to run a clock tower; but if it goes well enough I may do a pump, automated watering, security, and outdoor house and garden lighting all on a system calculated for that
forest edge
There should be lots of people in here who run their home off solar. it's essentially that. The way you had worded yourself before made it sound like you had something more complicated in mind
wintry hazel
Nah my home in general is fine with grid power and normal solar system I just kinda wanted to hear if someone is stoked on a particular brand.
forest edge
well that will vary on country and area I would think. I watch videos on solar all the time and like europe has shit we don't have access too and vice versa
i've seen some very basic setups to shit that just looks too complicated for what it's doing
wintry hazel
I guess I could have asked in hardware if I truly expected an mppt 12v charger might also be reportable in HA.
My dream home sold not long ago but it was on enough land that Iโd want to not run power to a couple of applications
Voltage drop and whatnot
forest edge
go all in or not at all imo. between dealing with the grid and all the extra stuff to pull and feed back too, and the overall cost vs life expectancy and actual output.. just too much lol
wintry hazel
Yeah. Atm living alone in a small home my solar was feeding in enough that I was only paying a portion of the daily charge but recent politics and cost pressures have tripled my bill
forest edge
some places here in the states the power company really rips people. they do not get back for the same as they pull.
wintry hazel
Oh yeah thatโs the same here. My feed in is about 4x my consumption
forest edge
basically giving free power back to the grid so it can be sold to your neighbors at x the rate lol
my ideal setup would be whole home with natural gas backup generator "just incase"
thankfully though when some part of a solar system starts to die the person seems to be aware of it before just total loss.. at least that's how it appears when i look this stuff up
wintry hazel
But yeah, we have water restrictions here too, and often no unmanned hoses or always on taps unless if you have the little sign that says โay itโs on rainwater tanksโ
So with a tank and solar you can do whatever you like with fancy irrigation and stuff

Because they can reuse it for other products

Like for the price of a decent motorcycle or scooter you get the bare minimum to move around. And when you park it it gets stolen

Bike theft is certainly an issue, I agree with that

Just modify your bike with some spicy electronics, so when someone tries to ride your bike, a LiveLeak banner appears above him shortly before he gets tazed by the bike.

I'm sure bicycle theft is an issue around there as well but most people ride those cheap dutch bikes which aren't worth stealing
According to a report by the Dutch Cyclists' Union, approximately 500,000 bicycles are stolen in the Netherlands each year, which equates to about one bicycle stolen every minute
According to recent data, an average of 1 in 3 bikes in Amsterdam is stolen each year

May as well call it a consumable product at that point
I guess if it's cheap enough it doesn't matter
It's not like making a bike would be expensive and not heavily marked up
finite atlas
no no the 1000โฌ pricetag is barely marked up
scenic radish
What kind of distances do you ride?
On a regular basis, usually no more than 1-2 miles / 1.6-3.2 km one way lol. I've done some 10+ mile / 16 km trips though
I don't have to go far to get to most places I go on a regular basis
orchid rose
Right, that's what I thought. For rides like that even a cheap bike will do fine. If you want to do longer rides regularly the higher-priced options are more comfortable (materials/size-adjustments) and faster (=more fun)

What brand tires do you have
orchid rose
The thing with bicycles like with a lot of things is that they look pretty much exactly the same on the outside but there's a lot more to it. For example, my tires stopped getting punctures from random gravel once I bought ones that were just a bit more expensive. 15โฌ vs 25โฌ iirc. The cheaper ones use nylon or something as puncture proofing and the more expensive ones use kevlar
That one has Schwalbe and mine has Continental
both have been good

You can take any bike you see in public which is not locked as long as you leave it in a public place unlocked afterwards in austria. Completely legal

When the roads get icy they put gravel on the roads to stop you from dying. That can at times be bad for tires
forest edge

And even if you don't ride on the ice yourself, that gravel doesn't disappear when the ice melts so for a few months of the year all the roads are just covered by gravel
It gets better in the winter since snow isn't actually that slippery

There's literally like one hill where I live so I usually get away with it but there was one time where there's this longer downhill part. The rear wheel just immediately locked up and turned into a ski instead which made no difference to my speed so they only way to stop the bike was to throw it sideways which worked ๐
