isn’t it “poppers?” a common party drug that it supposed to be left open in a room and passively inhaled?

I use the Hive integration and just let the Hive stuff do its work, monitoring via Home Assistant occasionally. My setup is the Hive thermostat, boiler relay and the hub

I went down a rabbit hole of TRVs, automations, Shelly relays talking to the boiler, zigbee thermometers everywhere, and it got complicated. Ultimately the big risk was the system getting stuck or in a state where the boiler would be on all the time and cost a fortune, so I got rid of it all.

If Hive no longer meets my needs I know I can just pair the hardware to my zigbee network and stop using the cloud service.

beneath a steel sky vibes

but it carries 1000 tons of cargo. Ships with that capacity (fully cellular container ships, but not Panamax cost millions per year to run - five figures daily. There is real potential here.

local control via wifi or zigbee, nothing that connects to the internet.

yes, that’s what kids want in their chocolate, fruit.

there’s a good tutorial to host ollama and a vector database here

Nowhere near as annoying as when you turn on your VPN to get “imgur is over capacity” for half the posts on lemmy.

Have a look at the LinkedGo wall thermostats. They have Shelly chips inside so rock solid and great compatibility with HA.

maybe just a window/door sensor that uses a magnet to detect closure?

Apollo Automation

Tor operator here.

If you don’t have a second IP for your relay, don’t host at home. You will have CAPTCHAs everywhere, many sites will block you and your ISP will eventually contact you to stop degrading their IP space reputation.

Most website owners don’t discriminate between Tor exits and relays. They subscribe to block-lists that include all known Tor IP addresses. Major online services will make your browsing experience really shitty and once you’re a “known Tor IP” it will take months to remove that reputation.

You can run a Bridge instead, but you will eventually have the same problem.

I use Shelly EMs and EM Pros and they are excellent. My favourite feature is that they work on non-networked firewalled VLANs and don’t need the internet to work.

Desperate to somehow stay relevant. Shunned by Trump at his inauguration, despised by most of her party and the laughing stock of the opposition.

But she’ll be back in some guise next election, representing Reform.

I’ve got two of the Screek 2A sensors and think they’re good. Mmwave technology isn’t a magic bullet that automatically works every time, like all radio tech there are some limitations.

I use one to turn on a light in a hallway and the other to detect when someone approaches the front door and issue an alert via ntfy.sh. Once in a while it misses some motion, so I’d probably not recommend it if you were building a human life kind of scenario, but they’re fine for me.

More importantly, they’re well supported by HA/ESPHome, open source, inexpensive and compact.

Calling it now - it will be written in such a way that Musk’s motley crew will be required to maintain it or update proprietary closed source components at extreme cost forever - practically guaranteeing he will always have full access to the data and be able to charge what he likes for any changes whoever takes power after Trump is gone.

although apparently you can now get fibreglass unistrut. how healthy are your lungs feeling?

too bad you can’t get plastic unistrut. that would be perfect.
