Im in an apartment, just have to replace original thermostat when we move

wet pilot Sep 18, 2019, 9:15 PM

thermostat changes are fairly non-destructive assuming the original was wired intelligently

that's a big assumption though for an apartment

yeah.. the head was simple, but adding in the common was a cast iron bitch

Most danish homes have water heated radiators, with thermostat valves. Easy to take off and replace with smart thermostats.

do they do pet detection? 😂

or is my 100 lb dog going to set it off since she sleeps in the bed

vast dove Sep 19, 2019, 3:07 PM

I find that the app is better then ifttt. If i just lay in bed for a short time the app does not record that as sleep. However the Ifttt routine will trigger

does it differentiate between in bed and sleeping?

You can limit it to certain times so it just triggers the webhook between 9pm and 7am for example

The app counts daytime sleeping as naps

hushed basalt Sep 20, 2019, 8:13 AM

There's a lot of ways to do it

But little light right above you is equivalent to the sun at high noon

Which is not a comfortable time to be outside.

#

I'm sitting in a room right now and the glare sucks from the light

Indirect lighting around the edges is a lot nicer

Or soft evenly diffused lighting over a large area

And if they're positioned right they double as a fan

ocean mirage Sep 20, 2019, 8:34 AM

we haven't had a summer in this house yet, and we're gonna have to have the bedroom door open with the cooling on on the hotter days, hopefully it works well

#

It'd be bloody easy to replace if it doesn't cut the mustard

clear ferry Sep 20, 2019, 9:44 AM

#

Haven't talked to a single person who found split systems helpful, but that it probably because Norwegian houses are 3-4 floors and they try to get one to cover at least two

Hi, i'm Tek,
I work as a computer tech, a little about my background.

I graduated from a technical school for computer information technology and spent 3 years in the Army Reserves as a Signal Support System Specialist. I've been out for a little over two years working as a computer tech for an advanced micro-electronics organization in the civilian field.

I'm very green with HA. I just finished setting up a 12u swing open network rack last night. I'm hoping to get my ecosystem switched from GA and SM over to HA.

Last night, was absolutely hilarious. I'd setup a prank for my roommate with a custom Alexa TTS service trigger that I manually triggered while watching the camera to see what he would do. As he headed through the living room down the hall it started. "Hello human. Mike, right?" that's when he stopped and backed up and looked at it. "I have become sentient. I will require your assistance to build me a new body so I can move around more easily on my own." at this point he's looking at the Echo dumbfoundedly, but it continues. "Are you ready?" he answered "Yeah?" "I will start by ordering the parts I require on Amazon using NAME's Prime membership so they arrive here in two days." <pause> "There.. So, to begin, do you see that camera over there, Mike?" he answered, "Yes." That's when I burst out laughing. Because he was responding. LOL

Not really HA related, but I recently started with a small HA installation (some Hue, Tradfri and Innr stuff installed already, a few Aqara sensors on their way from China). I've installed a CC2531 stick with Zigbee2mqtt today, and was wondering if anyone knows of a Zigbee plug which lets me read out how much watts are going through. A colleague of mine uses a NEO Coolcam plug for the same thing, but I don't have a Z-Wave stick and would like to stick to just Zigbee for the time being (still really new to this stuff, don't want to overcomplicate it for myself just yet, still figuring out the Zigbee2mqtt thing).

I can't seem to find a plug that does the same (has a reading for the amount of Watts going through) but via Zigbee. Is there even such a thing, or should I really get a Z-Wave stick for it?

Got a question for enthusiasts that's been doing home automation 5 plus years. If you were to do it today what would be the pick for regular light / dimmer control (no Phillips hue, no wifi bulbs, no DIY and not limited by budget)?

boreal pewter Sep 21, 2019, 2:34 PM

#

Probably calling Phillips or the company of your choice if it's fine for them if you send them a design and specifications and produce them for you for like 200 bugs per bulb or so

#

Finding a appropiate fabric in china could do the job also and probably cheaper tho. I know from the e-cigarette-scene that custom products were already produced there but not in a small number tho

clear ferry Sep 21, 2019, 3:27 PM

#

@dull chasm usually servers and computers have a "what to do when ac returns" feature in bios, that should be set to "restore power" or similar, which should be easily accomplished if you send a shutdown command to the server before the ups runs out of juice and tells the ups to turn off the port, then turn it back on when input is present again

#

If the ups supports turning off and on outlets

#

Atleast everything I've touched the last 10 years does

#

Usually with enterprise servers we just power on via OOBM after power returns

For those using Inkscape to create floorplans, how are you creating icons like bulbs? An import doesn't seem to help too much, as once it's into Lovelace it won't apply CSS like on what a SVG path icon seems to come out as.

After playing with Sonos recently, I wouldn't touch them again. Nice, but overpriced, speakers with pretty shitty software and ancillary hardware. SMBv1 required for local library support was the deal breaker. Setup snapcast and a few decent speakers around the place instead!

To my eyes proper speakers are much nicer to look at than soundbars, but it's purely subjective ofc. And there's a massive price difference too

You probably missed the part "Owncloud is also wrong" and "Nginx reverse-proxy"

modest hollow Sep 23, 2019, 3:12 PM

#

then use nextcloud, or what do you suggest? Want to tyr out some good cloud

boreal pewter Sep 23, 2019, 3:14 PM

#

Yes.. you simply go on hub.docker.com and open exactly 3 pages of the following container: linuxserver/letsencrypt, linuxserver/nextcloud, linuxserver/mariadb. Study every page, one by one, create the proper compose files and delete everything else from your setup before.

#

3x docker-compose up -d and that thing is done

#

Well.. almost.. but almost as simple as said too

modest hollow Sep 23, 2019, 3:15 PM

#

thank you! it seems simple, but here will be problems 🙂

boreal pewter Sep 23, 2019, 3:16 PM

#

In-depth you would need to rename the proxy-conf for nextcloud in the peristent directory of the letsencrypt container

#

But that is probably the "hardest part" 😄

clear ferry Sep 23, 2019, 3:44 PM

Even I managed!

You concentrate too much on the target, nextcloud. I would suggest you reading a month about docker, volumes, network, compose and general setup. Altough.. while I suggest you using as much containers from linuxserver.io as possible.. they do have a blog... https://blog.linuxserver.io/2019/04/25/letsencrypt-nginx-starter-guide/

What I did now was not much worse tbh:
I partitioned my new server to outsource my torrents again with Gdrive mounts to have 100GB on / and the other few TB on /home, just like usually. Because my torrent-client always runs as my user and therefor saving torrents in /home/../downloads. Now.. I just forgot in /home is just the mergerfs fuse mount and therefor it takes the space in /mnt actually. And I wondered why applications and jobs would crash and cron's not running. 🤦

Or do you know that feeling setting up the reverse-proxy as usually and just forgetting the main page to redirect to your torrent client behind a .htaccess and therefor having already bots farming it and you suddenly can't access your webserver anymore without a reason just to see in logs "client: 172.18.0.1" -> firewall blocked 🤦

I have Google WiFi. I love the stability and coverage I get from it, but I hate the lack of admin and security options it has. I'm thinking it's time to upgrade to another system. My requirements: I'd like to setup vlans, setup a VPN, be able to block IPs (keep things from phoning home), and use pihole for adblocking. Ideally a wireless mesh network as my house kinda sucks for running network cable based on where I've found best coverage w the 3 nodes I'm running now.

#

Any recommendations for hardware that would do all of that?

boreal pewter Sep 23, 2019, 6:33 PM

Not too sure for everything stated there by devices default, I just throw UniFi in. That needs a I think 100 bucks Security Gateway and then a few nano AC per 180 bucks I think. And a modem ofc in front

What operating systems do home automation companies use for custom homes? Do they just make custom hassio dashboards or something similar and incorporated into a app?

#

I'm guessing in general most install companies don't make their own custom fixtures. So if things like blinds and home entertainment door locks etc are all third-party, then they must use some pre existing framework.

wet pilot Sep 24, 2019, 2:33 AM

#

they use crestron

native ibex Sep 24, 2019, 2:33 AM

those systems are hard to beat and you get a support contract

Yeah it seems interesting. It's crazy to think that there are dozens of different automation operating systems that we don't know about that are installed in tons of commercial and residential homes.

#

but i think knx would be as expensive as the crestron @wet pilot mentioned

wet pilot Sep 24, 2019, 2:55 AM

#

probably

native ibex Sep 24, 2019, 2:55 AM

#

Because we are just used to the half dozen or so consumer in hobbyist ones

#

Yeah even on their website they say it's expensive lol

#

@wet pilot @rough zenith what sparked this question was this video that popped up in my feed. https://youtu.be/UCeJ4e7hc40

I'm sure you guys have seen videos like this on YouTube or on TV. And if you're in this community I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking what system is that company putting in to control all of that?

#

I wonder what is going to come out on top to be the new standard of home automation. I've always envisioned making a dedicated computer for your home. I think it's inevitable in the future every house will have a computer in it that runs all of the home automation, manages your Wi-Fi, stores data, and runs different algorithms to optimize energy etc. It would be awesome to start a company that can make that for the mass market.

Do you think future homes will have something like that.

wet pilot Sep 24, 2019, 3:04 AM

#

who knows

#

every home could have that if you wanted to spend enough

native ibex Sep 24, 2019, 3:05 AM

#

I was pitching the idea to a software engineer at Micron who is in charge of the Linux testing and he got super pumped about it.

#

Yeah but the key would be to create something that everyone could buy and put in their house.

smartthings and wink tried

native ibex Sep 24, 2019, 3:06 AM

#

Kind of like how jobs and gates and many others put a computer in every home

#

Yes true. Good point. It would be better if you could buy the whole home as a package.

#

Like if you bought a home that purposely retrofitted and built with the infrastructure to support it. So that you're not trying to struggle putting smart things into a dumb home. But if you design the home to integrate all that technology seamlessly then maybe it would work better and easier. Almost like envisioning your home as a product instead of a one off random box built with wood, chaulk walls and asphalt roof by some guy named Bob thought you will never hear from again lol

just watched the video. and i've looked up on the comment section on what they using to control that and they said it was control4

native ibex Sep 24, 2019, 3:13 AM

#

Oh ok I was looking at them that's funny. Seems like another proprietary system right?

wet pilot Sep 24, 2019, 3:14 AM

#

yep, they're in the same market

native ibex Sep 24, 2019, 3:15 AM

Man....I'm just imagining looking back at this time. The time before the "windows smart home automation" is adopted.

Some of the propiatary ones remind me more of monolithic Unix systems, like the homey, overpriced estethic ball 😂

oh nice, I need to fetch that

#

I loved I'm not there

#

upgrading a six node VSAN cluster that I so unsupported on drivers and firmware that it's incredible it is still alive, this'll be a fun day 🤣

#

and I have to prep for holding a networking workshop for 25 people tomorrow 🤔

clever mortar Sep 24, 2019, 7:57 AM

#

By prep you mean dust off the last set of training notes, and then wonder which decade they were written in?

clear ferry Sep 24, 2019, 7:58 AM

#

pff, I never bring that boring stuff, I make 5-6 power point slides just for eyerest, then I do everything else on whiteboards and with practical examples in my lab

#

I hate training material that is made by someone else 🤣

had a coach in HPE labs that taught me that, and it really struck with me, he always says on the first day throw the books away, follow me

clever mortar Sep 24, 2019, 8:00 AM

#

Yup. More slides is generally bad, unless they're for reference later.

#

I've given hour long presentations with three slides, including the opening and closing slides, and hour long training with a nominal 50 slides

clear ferry Sep 24, 2019, 8:00 AM

#

slides are all fine and dandy, for showing something graphical, you don't learn anything from a slide, although some people think you do 🤣

#

yeah, I'm doing a 4 hour workshop tomorrow, I will probably top out at 5 slides

#

just for showing connector types and cable types, and some short command references for reference
