Good morning! Anyone here experienced with 3d printing and/or modelling? I'm working on transforming my bed into a giant scale for presence detection, but I'm a bit stuck designing holders for the load cells under my bed. I'd like to bounce a few ideas off of someone.
clear ferry
A lot of us dabble with 3d printing, a lot of other people have made load sensors for their beds
crisp mortar
I've indeed seen that. Lots of projects on the forums. I have copied some designs, edited them to my needs and printed them. But they don't really fit my bed. My bed doesn't have legs, but rests on two boards at the head and foot of the bed. So mounting the load cells is a bit difficult.
So I'm trying to come up with a smart way of fixing the load cells that will fix them in a specific position to prevent drift of the measured values.
This is what I have so far: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4614359
But they shift.
clear ferry
no idea for you, I have no need to measure load on bed as I can measure if someone is in bed by 3 other factors

can you not make a center post that wouldn't be load bearing but would detect if someone was in the bed

I'm asleep, e) is my wifes phone charging, house lights are off and bedside lamps are off, she is sleeping
logics without measuring the damn bed
forest edge
crap drawing power? how is that not always tick True?

I'm already at this stage, so I'd like to go through with this method.
Wires are all soldered. I thought I had everything finished, but then noticed that the load cell holders didn't really work as intended.

I honestly don't think I'll see my office until at least March next year. 12 months of remote working... and they still won't embrace it because they think people need to be face-to-face to get shit done.

That ain't bad, a 12 year old dual Xeon with disks will idle at 120w last k checked
forest edge
A Pi with HA just controlling some lamps, possibly a few motion sensors, should be entirely stable, eh?
recommending a nuc to this statement is absolutely insane imo
clever mortar
I cheat @clear ferry - it's a low power Xeon ๐ Peaks at 25W ๐
clever mortar
To be fair though, a Pi4 with an SSD won't be a bad choice
forest edge
the ideal depends on what your planning
clever mortar
Also, you can migrate ๐
I started on a Pi3, I'm now on an old laptop, migration was trivial
forest edge
an rpi3 will handle your few lights and motion sensors without breaking a sweat
clever mortar
Mine handled a few hundred automations and a thousand or so entities without breaking sweat ๐
Just the storage was ... s l o w
clever mortar
I'd still not go back from my laptop though ๐
Cameras without motion/object detection is fine
Even then, you can do the motion/object detection outside of HA
(I do)
forest edge
well when you get into cameras then you may wanna consider moving away from pi
clever mortar
Still want not Pi for that
forest edge
rpi4 can handle motion detection etc just fine on a few cameras
but again, if you plan to expand past like 5 cameras.. an rpi is not for you
or if you plan to do doods or whatever
personally i think rpi's are awesome especially for starting out. they are cheaper than other options, they themselves can be used for other things if you ever need to upgrade beyond it etc
an rpi2 is probably faster than any pc atx owns
no idea wtf your asking lol
clever mortar
No, if you want multiple things then #330990055533576204 isn't a good choice
Unless those things are handled by #add-ons-archived

(aka Docker)
Unless you're actually really at home on Linux, compiling packages from source, troubleshooting build issues...
forest edge
os it is then lol
clever mortar
Then stay away from #330944238910963714 or #551864459891703809 - use either #330990055533576204 (probably your best choice) or #449717345808547842 (in a pinch)
Same as HA not in docker ๐
It's HA, however you run it
๐คท
There's no magic load calculator since every install is different
๐คท
"not much, maybe"
It comes down to:
- How often the sensors report in
- What automations you have
- What other integrations you're using
You could easily max out a Pi3, or run it on a Pi0 without noticing, depending on your setup
Probably not much load
forest edge
pretty sure any hub could handle that (if they could run HA)
You start out with just one step really
yes
clever mortar
That's why we've got documented #integrations-archived ๐
Install HA, hook up a device tracker, or a weather integration, and maybe a notification, and start playing
You can do a lot without buying anything
My Pi3 floated between 25% and 50%, but I did abuse it ๐
forest edge
mine idles around 40+% but then I got a lot of crap lol

My i5 floats around 10%, but spikes to 40% or above regularly ๐
forest edge
you also do image processing and not just motion
clever mortar
Smart doesn't save energy...
forest edge
you overthink too much lol
if all you want is the lights to turn on before you get home m-f you can do that without HA etc, many simple things can be handled by the devices themselves. people who want to do more complex things while having one thing to control multiple brands locally is what HA does best for them
a smart switch can do that without ha
i am sure there is atleast one out there
deft pewter

start simple, get a smart switch, or a smart plug or a smart light and play with it, see what uses you could have for it and if you have use for more.. go from there. one step at a time. don't even worry about brand but you can always look at https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/ if you want to see what will work with something like HA down the road

@clear ferry I'm probably going to have to move to Hyper-V on my HP Gen8 servers, since ESXi support stopped at 6.5
The latest version of Hyper-V will run on a potato with drivers from 2006 if you need it to, so it's a great way to keep old hardware alive.
ESXi 6.5 is still getting security updates for a while, so I haven't made the jump yet... but it's coming...
Aside from the hardware support, my backup solution (Veeam) works with both ESXi and Hyper-V, so I won't have to swap backup solutions or lose access to my old backup chains

Veeam is pretty good at least

Which causes vCenter to throw a hissy fit because it sees the host as degraded, and HA/DRS starts migrating VMs off
it runs, but only if you then disable all HA and DRS...

Yeah, no... no hardware monitoring is not "fine"
I absolutely want to know when I have a bad drive or a bad fan, or an overheat condition
If I upgrade to 6.7, I lose all that

You have to remove some VIBs from the 6.5 ISO to get it to work without boot-looping
subtle pasture
That must have been fun. I had a hell of a time getting the G7 servers at work to boot 6.5
clear ferry
No problems ever
subtle pasture
Wound up using VMWare's ESXi ISO builder to create a totally custom ISO
Because the HP customized 6.5 ISO = bootloop, and the vanilla ISO = no hardware monitoring
clear ferry
Irรธ ran the hpe image
subtle pasture
And it's a well known issue with 6.5 on Gen7 servers...
Like, there are multiple guides on how to work around it
So I really dunno how you didn't run into it
clear ferry
There was bootloop issues at some point because of the Intel monitoring driver I believe, which was rectified
I probably know of.... 150+ g7 servers running 6.5
subtle pasture
But yeah, 6.5 and 6.7 support both die in a year. At that point I'll just use Veeam to chuck everything over to Hyper-V
subtle pasture
Make the sick face all you want, it actually supports the hardware and will remain current for a long time to come ๐
And it's not Proxmox, so it has that going for it
Anyway, off to drop off my ballot and get some lunch. Back in a few

have you try the distro build for the pinephone @dusky plank ? they might have better builing block for touchscreen based device

@civic tangle , just curious. Can you plug the pi usb power cable into that phone charger and run two pi with basically a battery backup if power goes out? Basically just plug the phone charger in to power so it is charging all the time?
fiery sorrel
i hope the charge circuit is build for passthrough, or it might be a ballon before to long ๐
civic tangle
I don't think you can use 2 pis at the same time because it might use too much power. I haven't tried that particular one, but it's supposed to support passthrough charging so yes, you can leave it plugged in and it will act like a backup battery. The important thing to look for if you use a battery pack is passthrough charging support.

Back to the future did 4k restoration the right way by adding atmos ๐
fiery sorrel
that is impressive ... and worrysome.
extracting eatch sound from the stereo track and putting them in 3D space is a very tedious work.
shy comet
when done right its awesome
fiery sorrel
isn't is the first atmos that old ?
shy comet
but its better than keeping the original track which exists
fiery sorrel
i will have to try
shy comet
naw lots have converted already
you dont always see the 3d audio treatment usually its just video
fiery sorrel
oh, in my mind atmos is an audio tech ... so i what thinking about audio only
shy comet
dolby atmos is for audio
but i was saying usually when you see a 4k restoration sometimes they do the audio too and sometimes not
most of the good ones do both but not always
like Pitch Black....wouldve been pretty cool in atmos IMO

well, i've done it. Created a fake, MQTT AC thermostat that forwards commands from a single device in Alexa to the specific AC unit the room you're currently in ๐

i still have planed to enable that hue emulation integration to controle stuff from a spot i have and my harmony remote ... But it feel like a pain to setup ...

its painless @fiery sorrel
all you do is enable the integration
go to harmony
tell it to add a hue hub
when it says press the button
you sit and wait patiently for it to do its thing
it can take a few minutes on that screen
then once it connects youll get a list of devices that are added
but if you need more help #integrations-archived ๐

emulatedhue is easy, can confirm

@fiery sorrel Nah, you don't need a hue bridge to use emulated hue
You do need an older Amazon Echo, though
The 3rd gen and newer Echos won't find devices presented by Emulated Hue
shy comet
ah didnt know you needed an older echo to use with alexa intereting
i only use it with harmony for the remote buttons and touchscreen control
subtle pasture
Yeah, I believe it's because it emulates a Gen1 Hue Hub, and Amazon dropped support for the Gen1 Hue Hub in later versions of the Echo product line

Flash an external usb disc (ssd or spinning rust, pick your poison) using the rpi flasher same as you would an SD card, update the rpi4 firmware using rpiOS and enable usb boot, once it's flashed the bootloader shutdown out of rpiOS, remove microsd card, plug in usb drive, and boot up ๐

@bitter pawn It does the job, and it's probably the most fully-featured free hypervisor available right now...

Hmmm. Looks like it lost connectino after starting the restore from backup... probably because of the different IP the OG pi had

I use it every day at work, most of our clients have moved from ESXi to Hyper-V because it's significantly cheaper ๐คทโโ๏ธ

i can see docker related messages on hdmi out and the disc activity light is flickering, so i'm assuming it'll come back on its own.
if not, ah well, won't take long to reinstall lol

show me proper pci passthrough on hyperv and we can talk
or even numa node addressing

You're muttering about install problems ๐
rapid tendon
No problems yet.

@dusky plank Both of those work fine?
rapid tendon
i can see from the hdmi output that we're installing addons that the old install had currently after initiating the restore from backup
dusky plank
it's PITA

@dusky plank Hyper-V refers to PCI Passthrough as DDA (Discrete Device Assignment)
And Windows has been Numa aware for eons

nah I'll stay with kvm

I'll stick with ESXi until I'm forced off it ๐
That said, containers are a TON easier to work with on Hyper-V than they are on ESXi, so I might finally start using them...
Getting the infrastructure and licensing in place to spin up vSphere Integrated Containers is just... not fun...

you should try fedora... it's amazing with containers and vmachines

All of my Linux VMs are CentOS8 ๐
Fedora's support lifecycle is too short for my taste
rapid tendon
my main vm is arch ๐

Cent is based on Fedora/Redhat, and has a ridiculous 10+ year support lifecycle. Great for keeping servers going long-term
