absolutely, tuya is just too op to even take part

The truth is all you need is a basic Tuya Smart Robot with Lidar and I repeat (with Lidar) and your fine. These big companies suck

There not gonna show you how it works, ill make a video and show you if you want. But I keep it private because I don’t want more people buying my robots

rereading through some of that was really weird but then I got to thinking.. this server needs a tuya fighter. of all the brands out there it is quite literally the most picked on so why shouldn't there be someone, a lone wolf, a voice in the darkness yelling.. "tuya matters too!"

On second thought. Looking up the license plate I see sooooooo many red flags

simple gazelle
#

Ah, has it lead a life of adventure, and would be a life of Surprise Mechanics if you got it?

high remnant
#

I don't know

#

It has been registered in 2006, the licenseplate is from 2018 and it does not have an owner history tied to it

#

so this either means its imported OR it has been put on a new license plate

simple gazelle
#

I guess it was never sold regularly in NL?

high remnant
#

Nope I don't think so

#

(you must be mad to drive a 6L here LOL)

#

I think it has been imported in 2018

simple gazelle

I assume if I've not seen one it wasn't sold in Europe, though I sometimes get tripped up with GM stuff

#

I mean, this car is from a time when people also bought Hummers in The Netherlands so its not impossible

#

The only real Hummer is the H1 IMO.

high remnant
#

it is just weird that it does not have an owner history since it has a been registered in 2018 here

While technically possible that this car has been at a car dealer since 2018 and never been sold it feels really fishy

Holy hell, using a fast cloud LLM provider is really a day and night difference to the default OpenAI integration.
Tested groq (not grok), which is advertising itself as low latency provider with gtp-oss-120b vs OpenAI mit gpt-4.1-mini

OpenAI takes about 8-9 seconds to answer "What temperature will be tomorrow between 1 and 2 pm?"
Groq takes less than 1.5 seconds.

Both used the same tool calls (Weather LLM script by Fes) to get the result.

This is the difference that will make your family allow you to replace Alexa or not. 😛

And then some absolute son of a bitch created ChatGPT, and now look at us. Look at us, resplendent in our pauper's robes, stitched from corpulent greed and breathless credulity, spending half of the planet's engineering efforts to add chatbot support to every application under the sun when half of the industry hasn't worked out how to test database backups regularly.This is why I have to visit untold violence upon the next moron to propose that AI is the future of the business - not because this is impossible in principle, but because they are now indistinguishable from a hundred million willful fucking idiots.

I was/am inches away from diving in to HAOS, I'm now thinking of staying with Google Home, and the other 6 apps i need to cover all my smart items. I have a mini PC unused, everyone says "don't use it", I have just read 30 posts about "Green" problems. I seriously ask, Does any company make a HA server that is setup and solid?

Actually, lots of issues reported there sorry.

hoary canyon
#

for me the issue with linux is power management, my laptop would drain battery even while plugged in and running various power mgmt tools

shut crescent
#

That is my worry with DCS, my controllers cost half what my house did. I really spent alot on them

hoary canyon
#

Not to mention I like to mod games occasionally and game mods don't really work well on Linux

shut crescent
#

My Adobe Premier and Affter effects hates Linux. but I am so sick of Windows

hoary canyon
#

I used to bounce around OS platforms a bunch, but i've just settled with W11 IoT Enterprise LTSC

#

I have a MacBook Air M1 for anything that needs a different OS

shut crescent
thick dragon
#

(Also free)

hoary canyon
#

delayed updates as part of that so generally more stable

#

For a HA server, I do not recommend Windows. Use something like Proxmox IMO

shut crescent
#

funny you say that becuase I am learning Davinci just to get closer to dropping windows

thick dragon
#

Be aware that BlackMagic only officially support Rocky Linux and you might have to do some fiddling to get it to work on anything else.

shut crescent
#

no, I will use a HAOS clean system, no windows. Like a lot of people I have been buying smart bulbs, cameras, for a few years, and have 5 different brands. its hard to keep a single point of control

hoary canyon
#

Would probably need over 50 apps to control everything in totality

shut crescent
#

I was hopping I could take a decent mini computer wipe it, and then a clean install of HAOS, but most of what i read says bad move

hoary canyon
#

That’s fine? I’d recommend going the Proxmox route if you plan to expand your self hosted “arsenal” ever though.

#

Can just install HAOS inside a VM on Proxmox

iron granite

#

thx Blue, that is why im here is to learn before i leap

hoary canyon
#

We were all there at some point.. no worries

shut crescent
#

yea but I have one setting on the shelf

hoary canyon
#

Pretty sure what he means is that just HA OS on a typical Mini PC will leave lots of spare resources in a lot of cases

#

If you use something like Proxmox, you can install various other operating systems and also install “LXC”s for lighter weight software

#

Better to take advantage of your hardware

shut crescent
#

even though it's a new OS to me, the mini PC I understand

#

I will look at Proxmox, i've heard the name but need to learn

hoary canyon
#

just copy and paste the script into the console of Proxmox and you can install various services seamlessly

shut crescent
#

cool, agian thx guys

dusty mica
#

do not use the proxmox post install script though, tempting, but not good for HAOS. The HAOS installer script is good!

#

@shut crescent

hoary canyon
#

I've had no issues with it personally. Does HA have a installer script for Proxmox now?

dusty mica
hoary canyon
#

ah yeah i've used that one before. Also used the post install script and had no issues though..

#

This was probably about 1-2 years ago now though so maybe it's unstable or something now?

dusty mica
#

i was told that the post install script does more harm then good

hoary canyon
#

Never heard that myself, it corrects the proxmox sources to the free ones.. otherwise you won't get updates without paying. Also removes the subscription nag

dusty mica
hoary canyon
#

Interesting, never had that happen myself

#

You can skip over the nag part I believe though

dusty mica
#

me neither, but Impact knows his stuff

#

so 100% trust there

hoary canyon

Well if you don't use the script, make sure you change your sources to the community ones

Will miss critical security updates if not

Oh hey, I literally did a ton of research on these fun devices a few weeks ago, trying to find something for offsite backups at my local hacker space. I think they're neat machines, but they barely beat a more modern Raspberry Pi. Depending on your use case, that might be good enough, and you get some extra ports and an Intel CPU.

For a starter Home Lab setup, f you can scrape together ~$100, I would really recommend picking up a used Lenovo ThinkCentre. Specifically one that has a spare PCIe slot. You're going to get a lot more bang for your buck out of them. Or a Dell OptiPlex Micro. Anything 6th or 7th gen or newer would last you for a couple of years, which gives you a good amount of time to learn and figure out what your next machine chould be like.

Mine is tied into an app on the phone, but annoyingly it doesn't switch automatically into macro mode or have a button to do it. Instead, I need to move my hand in front of the lens for the phone to decide to switch to it

But it means it's also good for reading the ridiculously tiny barcodes Dell put on the serial/MAC tag on their servers. And because it's a 2D scanner you can read a barcode oriented like | with the scanner held like —, which I think is definitely an underrated feature

Gonna depend on how important it is to you / how much of a rush you're in. I recently moved and had to rebuild a lot of my home automation stuff... I went with Zigbee/Z-Wave again even when Matter stuff was available mostly due to a lack of feature parity.

However, it's getting better all the time, and over the last few months, Matter has added support for more and more.

Maybe in a few more years, but not yet, agreed.

I have a whole 2 MoT devices right now and they work fine, but it's not any faster than my equivalent Zigbee ones, and I've had some interesting problems because of Google's lack of Matter over Wi-Fi support.

If you have a Bond device you're using to control the RF, I've noticed it randomly seems to send signals to the fan lights... so I ripped out all the RF fans of this house and went with Innovelli Zigbee fan controllers instead. A hassle, but made automation a lot easier too... since with RF repeaters, you don't really know whether the device is on or off, and if the fan light is expecting a "toggle" signal it's hard to reliably ensure it's off.

Bond was a horrible experience

My only complaint with my Innovelli switches is that I didn't buy more of them LOL.

I had already installed Zooz Z-wave switches for my dimmer switches in the house, so now they're mismatched. I'm not going to spend Innovelli prices just to swap them back but I can't praise them enough.

vivid wraith
#

maybe I start with the fan in my guest bedroom and try to figure it out

weak musk
eternal zinc
#

It's really straightforward if you've ever wired a fan before. Are you thinking fan controller + canopy?

#

(so you don't have to replace the fans)

vivid wraith
eternal zinc
#

The Innovelli canopy is the smallest one I've seen before, FWIW, so it's not too bad.

#

Just make sure to bind the wall switch to the canopy before you put the canopy cover back on.

vivid wraith
#

I need two switches, one for light and one for fan?

Do the innovelli wall switches work wired or only via zigbee or whatever?

#

Why are my ceilings so tall 😭

eternal zinc
#

If they are remote controlled fans, you only need one switch and a canopy controller. If they are regular chain fans, you can do two switches or a switch and canopy controller.

#

So you need 2 pieces of hardware either way.

#

Innovelli does Matter, Zigbee, or Z-wave, but the Matter ones don't have as much functionality yet. They have a quiz you can take if you wanna go that route that tells you what hardware to buy.

vivid wraith
#

My fans are remote controlled and I have one switch that turns it on and off, but I have another switch that does nothing so I suspect it used to be a fan switch

#

So it might be wired for it

eternal zinc
#

Yep, probably wired for it... but unfortunately, if the fan is a remote-controlled fan, you can't really use both switches.

#

That'll tell you what to buy based on your setup.

vivid wraith
#

Ah I was hoping maybe the wire would be there and wiring it into the canopy would let me have a fan wall switch

eternal zinc
#

Looks like they discontinued their Red series (Z-wave) so it's Zigbee or Matter now.

The most important thing is to ensure your fan is not a DC fan. If it is, your automation options become very limited.

Definitely don't update when an update first comes out. Stuff always breaks and there will be a few more fast follow releases to clean it up

Apparently the maximum it measured was -39.9c but the minimum was 292.9c?

dawn badge
# tawdry yacht It also thinks its -40c outside

what dodgy software is that? -40 is suspicious because its the point where c and f meet. this makes me think theres some kind of error in conversion code and its resulted in showing the meet point.

The software itself sucks, it can't do Full Duplex RS485 properly and results in the PTZ jittering and going way further than it's meant to. Even on half duplex it blows, I had to set it to Simplex to get any usability out of it

I am in the same timezone. I have diagnosed sleep conditions though so i guess i have an official excuse 😛

I'm diagnosed with Insomnia, does that give me an excuse?

#

It's not really a incurable disorder, I just can't sleep hah

#

Guessing on how long it's taking you to type that message, I'm assuming I should shut my mouth

dawn badge
#

I have a "Non-24-hour sleep–wake disorder" so whilst i do sleep the timing of it changes constantly.

tawdry yacht
#

I guess that's kind of the case with me? I just also can't sleep

#

I've not got something like that diagnosed though, so I won't make claims

dawn badge
#

I likely started out as just "Delayed sleep phase disorder" but that progressed to non-24 over time.

tawdry yacht
#

Can I explain how my sleep "pattern" works?

dawn badge
#

the issue with diagnosis is you have to deal with a branch of medicine called neurophysiology which has a lot of quackery in it.

Lets say I'm starting off going to bed at 10pm one night and waking up at 8am, next day It'll be 1am and 11am instead, so on and so forth until I end up back at 10pm to 8am

#

But this is mixed in with the fact I find it difficult to fall asleep so I end up being all over the place with when I actually go to bed

#

Which is why I'm primarily WFH because I am never gonna make it into an office on-time

I have been down at sub 30 fps with heavy shaders on the 1660s, hence the upgrade
