So I broke down and bought a 8gb pi5 kit and an A2 sdcard... Right now I'm running HA on a laptop with a non-ryzen AMD E2-6110.. the thing was under 300 bucks when I bought it, and it's been upgraded.over the years to 16GB of ram, and an SSD... But cpu pegs when I try to use Assist locally (piper/faster-whisper) ... Ugh. Wish me luck that all my configs just restore from backups like they're supposed to. 🤣

I may eventually switch to a nuc, but I also want a pi for other things .. I've never actually fooled around with one before, and now that I have a little bit of money to toss around...

I wonder if HA can make use of a local AI running on a GPU?

And a LOT more time for "fiddling" as well, since I quit driving trucks back in July, and now work for a county government's electronics department.

I wanted a cheap micro PC, but just couldn't justify a $300 price tag for a hobby investment.

nothing wrong with a pi as a HA backbone. if you go around messing with cctv or this voice shit you can always put those on a remote pc downn the road

#

I run 3 elitedesk machines that didn't cost a lot more than that

#

Saying that, raspberry pis are not cheap anymore

#

I'm running on a old desktop from work, i5 6500 does not break a sweat ever. Free.

robust flicker
#

Yeah. I noticed. Our department has a LOT of SFF elitedesks in use, cameras. Locking/intercom/lighting control boards..

#

We were looking to source some new ones that'd be able to handle 4 displays at once and it wound up being cheaper to just buy 4 smaller micro PCs for each monitor, then use Multiplicity to link em all up.

#

When each monitor is showing up to 9 rtsp camera feeds at once, trying to put 4 monitors onto one machine wouldve taken a very powerful, and expensive, system.

hushed harbor
#

Curious.

robust flicker
hushed harbor
#

Interesting, a modest card should handle 4 monitors pretty easy.

Probably means you also need larger machines with higher wattage psus etc

It's not just the display, it also needed to handle all those incoming streams, too

video is resource instesive

#

multiple monitors, many videos

robust flicker
#

So instead of dropping 2k to 3k per system, we spent 400x4.. so 1600 in its place.

#

Plus, we're pretty locked into Pelco for our system... And their camera management is built on top of Java. (??!) Ugh lol

hushed harbor
#

We started using a camera system by spot ai, amazing what it knows, can identify and tell us about movement, accidents, near accidents and so on. Has cut down tremendously on in person monitoring of many cameras.

robust flicker
#

We're trying to get approval to hire a contractor to switch us and update a bunch of stuff. But.. government efficiency. 🤣

robust flicker
hushed harbor
#

Understood, you still can do that, but it will tell you if a gate is open, someone is in an area they should not be, recognize their face or what they are wearing and follow them across cameras.

robust flicker
#

Our locking and control system does that already.

#

It's on a separate system, intentionally. The only integration between the two is, it can automatically stream a rtsp when a door or intercom is activated.

#

Doors simply do not open unless opened by a correctional officer. There's absolutely no way we could get approval for automatic facial recognition for that. Not secure enough.

forest edge
robust flicker
#

The aforementioned CO might be sitting at a monitor 200m away from the door, but the camera pops up, they hit the button to open the door. The system records who opened the door. So if there was an issue, it falls onto the CO, not the system.

hushed harbor
#

I think being able to track a person though the facility guard or inmate would be great, sometimes people start doing little things to push the limits and could be detected ahead of time before something bad happens.

But hey, regulations are there for a reason!

#

We have more in the way of storage than actual network switches in our camera room. Each unit has 12 6TB HDDs. There are approximately 20 of those units. It's getting recorded.

hushed harbor
#

how much history are you required to keep?

robust flicker
#

30days is the minimum, and housing area videos are kept for up to 4 years.

hushed harbor
#

all on continuous recording or object detected recording?

#

That is a lot, 4 years

robust flicker
#

Depends on the camera. We have both types set up.

hushed harbor
#

Where are those 4 year recordings kept?

robust flicker
#

And yeah, it is. They've had this current system for about 7 years now, and have added storage 3 or 4 times since.

Yeah, I applied for the job kinda on a whim. I have some electronic background, I'd worked for catv and telephone companies before, and I have an associates in electronics as well, but I got that decades ago, and couldn't find a decent paying job that used it in my area so went trucking.. saw the job, applied.. 2 months later I'm doing it. I turn 49 in August.. so . It's never too late for a career change!

Where I'm at truck drivers are still a premium right now. Ours actually delivery product as well as drive and keeping them is tough at times. Lots of competition

im running Piper on a local server and it of course has a lot more power than my Pi3B+

Above the cooktop (USAnians, specifically, who can buy a combination microwave/extractor fan unit), or literally anywhere as there's usually a microwave-shaped cupboard (with no door) for it with a power socket in the back. At least there has been in every house I've ever lived in.

forest edge
#

we looked at the "new" over the oven microwaves last night at NFM that had the air frying abilities.. that is crazy how much space inside the oven you lose by adding that ability. when you opened the microwave door which are generally the overall size of the whole unit and see this pocket size opening to actually put your food

#

it was crazy

ocean oar
#

We have a non-turntable microwave, those always seem a bit small on the inside too.
To be fair there is still a rotating thing to "stir" the microwaves, they just hid it from you under the floor.
But you can heat irregularly-shaped objects without them banging against the sides, so that's fun?

I saw some samsung one that talked about that. showed there was no turn table but was suppose to be able to heat the stuff the same way without it

I moved my Zigbee network from channel 20 to 25 over the weekend and now I'm able to reliably control the lock on my garage side door 🎉

#

I think I tried 25 a while ago with m old Sonoff coordinator and isn't wasn't as good, but looks great now with my Tubeszb PoE coordinator. And it was as easy as changing the channel in the Z2M config 🪄

#

I wanna make addons work in kubernetes

#

for some definition of "work"

deft pewter
#

Kubernetes is overkill for something that requires a single container. Just use Docker like a sane person.

#

Addons are just Docker containers with a sprinkling of magic to auto-wire them into HAOS.

low totem
#

a) who said I was sane lol
b) the magic is the important part!

deft pewter
#

Well you're missing the magic by not using HAOS shrugR

#

To be clear, I prefer the non OS version and run my own stuff in containers... but by doing so, I accept that I have to do stuff like expose ports manually to get things working together.

solar zealot
#

The joy of running completely bloated management to run containers with a scale of one ;D

low totem

I'm not asking for support to be clear; I'm saying I want to figure out a way to make the magic work

#

Because I can shrug

deft pewter
low totem
#

It sounds like no one else has been silly enough to pursue this

deft pewter
#

Just look at how other 'addons' have been run as Docker containers and you're almost there (minus the stupid bloat that k8s puts over the top). You might find answers in #1284965172053807145 or over on the web forums.

solar zealot
#

Some people have from what I've heard but it's really either the addon image or whatever software in a regular container

#

There isnt really special sauce to it

low totem
#

oh that part is easy. What's not easy is that only supervised and haos have the ingress proxy that allows addons to be gated by home assistant auth

solar zealot
#

Can always roll out your own or pusht them into similar network structures

low totem
#

Yup

deft pewter
#

the ingress proxy that allows addons to be gated by home assistant auth
This bit is pretty much totally unnecessary. I don't get why people want to run all kinds of other software within HA. Just put them on their own subdomains and access them directly. If you want auth in front of them, do that yourself.

low totem
#

I've run homeassistant as HAOS, in docker, and now in kubernetes, and I had opinions and saw drawbacks or benefits to each (HAOS issues were related to a bad pi I eventually figured out). I'm running a home kubernetes cluster for other reasons, and prefer one container management solution. While I can hack together a solution for securing the addons, I just think it's a fun project to get a solution closer to the experience with HAOS or supervised within the setup I currently have.

I don't get why people want to run all kinds of other software within HA

Because software like music assistant is meant to be, and then tools like esphome are equally context dependent shrug

#

Anyway, thanks for the input, I got the answer I needed pikathumbsup

iron granite
primal laurel
deft pewter
#

Sure. And it's nice to have an easy mode for people that don't know better.

But putting everything inside HAOS means that when HAOS goes down, so does everything else. Meanwhile, I'm here not giving a damn when a single container breaks 😂

primal laurel
primal laurel
deft pewter
#

completely the wrong way to look at it. It's convenience
lol? You're telling me that my view of it being 'easy mode' is wrong because it's about 'convenience'? You're just using another word to say the same thing.

#

HAOS is there for the 'beginners' that don't know/care enough about setting up the individual parts. They want an appliance.

But if someone comes in here with an understanding of k8s, they're not in need of easy mode. So my opinion that putting everything within HAOS is dumb still stands.

primal laurel
#

calling it easy mode, beginner mode or whatever is doing it a big disservice... if you can't acknowledge that there are good reasons to choose HAOS even if you're an expert you suffer from tunnel vision and you should come back to the real world

It's a 3 node cluster with each node acting as a control plane as well, but one of the nodes is also host to all persistent volumes courtesy of nfs, so if it goes down, some of my workloads get unhappy. And homeassistant lives on a different node that has my zigbee radio attached to it.

So where do I get low-level with how ZHA works?

On a custom firmware, ZHA will hang on adding a device - and I don't know who to blame 😄

I'm assuming there's some kinda wait for a report or zigbee packet that isn't received, so it never proceeds with adding the device.

could be related to location and it not being reachable directly from the controller too

Apparently, it works with Z2M

Tech-savvy buyers who might be worried about SSD lifetime decreasing even as SSD capacity skyrockets should have their fears assuaged by the ridiculous number of writes the tested drives endured; the drive that survived the longest survived more than 2.4 petabytes worth of sustained writes.

Is this channel good to casual conversation about home automation solutions and hardware?

solar zealot
#

depends on what casual is

#

its not for support questions or other guidance

its mostly for talking about raccoons

curious how expensive your electricty is? I have a 12 HD 3 NVME Unraid setup that idles at 65 watts(while idling it has 1 modded minecraft server running, frigate(with a coral), and like 15 other dockers including HA, MQTT, zigbee2mqtt,zwave2mqtt, node red) and thats with 64 GB of ddr 4 ram :/

But if you dont, then that power is wasted

my point was that even high power systems can idle down pretty well

#

Jellyfin will run like crap on a rpi anyhow unless you disable all image cacheing and metadata

#

For a media server with limited drives a Nuc is great

I strongly considered going that route, but minecraft servers are stupidly single threaded beasts, especially with modded minecraft

Maybe I suck at writing proposed features, I was told that my suggestion was many times duplicated, yet when they provide links of the duplicate Feature Requests, only one of the list was very close, and it didn't get so much as a response.

I want to have an external disk (To HASOS, maybe USB, maybe onboard) be the place for /media so I can use the Plex Add-On and make that be the location for media. This would keep media from filling the HASOS disk, and let me use that surplus processor/RAM/Disk for something useful and turn off the other always running computer. While we are at it, let's make that /media an NFS export and SMB share.
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/change-media-location-to-external-network-storage/573095 That's the one that was unanswered for almost 2 years.

All of the other links provided (thanks to Sir_Goodenough for taking the time to provide links to what he says are duplicates) were really for other uses, mostly for HASOS pieces off of the primary disk.

Change media Location to external/network storage

I am running home assistant os on an old desktop with a ssd. I will be getting a coral when they are back in stock to run frigate on my cameras, in order to minimise wear on the flash and save the small ssd’s capacity i have been looking up how to mount my nas or an external usb drive to my media folder. I know quite a few folks have found ways...

Something something Docker install, something something volume mappings

primal laurel
#

I think it's a dumb idea anyway. You're gonna run plex with the media on a network mount? why

quiet tulip
deft pewter
#

What you're trying to do makes sense. But if the core team aren't interested in letting HAOS do that, use something else that can handle it - like the Docker install.

primal laurel
deft pewter
#

If it can run in a container, it can probably run as an addon shrugR

quiet tulip
#

I ran HA in a container for a while, wanted the HAOS experience with add-ons etc. That part has been better, and since HAOS is really a stripped down Linux installation, with things as containers, it's not that far out of the box.

deft pewter
#

Until you find the stuff you can't do with HAOS, then Docker excels... 🤯

#

But carry on with the limited version.

dawn badge
#

HAOS is "barely enough linux" to run whats needed

#

to run bigger more complex packages your better off running proxmox. haos on a VM then other vm's for other stuff

primal laurel
#

HAOS has everything you need to run HA. If you need more, then it probably shouldn't run on HAOS

deft pewter
#

haos on a VM then other vm's for other stuff
Which doesn't solve the problem they came here asking about. They want a path within HAOS to map to something outside of HAOS, which Docker can do trivially.

# dawn badge HAOS is "barely enough linux" to run whats needed

Since there's an Add-on to make an SMB share for your configuration files, it's not that much of a stretch to make a different volume be also NFS exports, , and there's an add-on for a plex server, just need a non-hack way to make those two be the same directory.

I have done very similar with plex in a container and the underlying host NFS exporting that directory that is a volume, have it running on a machine right now.
Maybe I just should go back to HA in a container and forget about the benefits of Add-ons etc. Or put HAOS in a VM

deft pewter
#

go back to HA in a container and forget about the benefits of Add-ons
Easy - there aren't many benefits, but plenty of downsides 😅

dawn badge
#

addons are useful for stuff thats HA related and maybe some other smaller packages but i dont personally think you should be running bigger stuff thats usually stand alone within HAOS

primal laurel
dawn badge
#

proxmox - have haos with addon support then also have a VM to run whatever you whatever you want with all the flexibility you want

Y'all's cats bring stuff toys and dead things. Mine digs through the garbage and finds loose soda/water bottle caps and hides them under the covers so we find them with our bare backs...

#

There will be times where we haven't thrown a bottle away in ages (we usually just refill them with tap water until the lid won't stay on) and yet, some random night, one of us will wake up going "oww wtf, where did this come from?!" 🤣

What's the opinion of using node-red over automations? Is it best to run node-red outside of HA?

We have two mousers that are only inside because they've not been spayed yet. Mother/daughter pair. Momma cat showed up, pregnant, and had her babies in our crawl space under our home. But we have a stray problem (we live outside city limits, and the county animal control is horribly overwhelmed) and a stray male got under there and managed to kill all but one of her babies before we coaxed her into bringing them out to us. 😥

#

So her and her sole surviving baby are both inside until they're spayed. Momma gets spayed next week, and put back out.

#

We have 5 total cats. Mishka, is the oldest, and has been with us for right at 13 years now. Next up is Marshmallow. Then Crimson, he's a ginger. Both of those, my wife found on the side of the road as kittens.... Plus we have a 100lb mutt named Zeus who babies all 5 of the cats, but will demolish anything he can catch in the yard. 🤣

#

Zeus runs off most strays when he's outside. But I need to fix the fence in a few places where he has gotten out, so he's rarely outside without supervision.

#

This is the escape artist in question.

#

We have trained Lucy a fair bit to ignore the outdoor cats and it's probably the only reason she let fluff stay inside anyway

#

Now Lucy is just annoying to the cats but otherwise they all are fine with each other

#

They didn't always like Lucy's nose up their butts but they know she won't attack

robust flicker
#

Our neighbors are straight up terrified of Zeus. He's a big ol baby, but gives a good show to people passing by. 🤣

#

Lol some folks in the neighborhood are scared of Lucy since she's a pit mix, but my nextdoor neighbor knows she's a big softy

robust flicker
#

Our neighbor one side calls him Cujo. She likes coming into our yard to pick blackberries, and is always asking "Is Cujo put up, I wanna hop the fence for a bit." Lol

#

She won't listen when we tell her just come in and he'll leave ya alone. Don't just reach in to pet him tho....

#

Tbh, we didn't put enough time in with him when he was a puppy, as we had two other dogs when we got him. Our oldest was in a bad way, and so he got most of the attention. If we could do it over, we probably just wouldn't have gotten him when we did

#

But he was the pick of a litter of another stray my wife rescued, and subsequently gave to her sister...

primal laurel

#

Ours just has some barrier aggression. Like, if there's a fence between y'all, he growls and barks, and if you reach over, he'll nip your hand. But if you just walk in, he'll lick you to pieces.

#

This should give an idea of just how big he is. That's the window of my wife's old car that he's just casually perched on ..
