emoncms VS Home Assistant

I think I have seen others do this with some smaller dedicated timer thermocouple controllers.. but I wanted to be able to write software to do more.. like email me start/stop emails.. and the openenergy monitor emonpi gives access to emoncms.org which lets me see the kiln temps 24 hours a day from anywhere in the world.. and they have an iphone app that you can use to see the data.. so all I had to do was figure out how to publish the data to their service.. and then write a if then loop python script to check for the kiln temp at a time.. if low..turn kiln on.. if high.. turn it off.... I have dreams of a cleaner simpler script.. but no time to get it done.

Take a look at CircuitSetup.us for their EmonESP whole-house energy monitor. I got their single phase with two current transformers several months ago and it has worked perfectly. It has a web page, sends out MQTT messages and can simultaneously send out emoncms data (see emoncms.org ).

https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/dev/requirements... lists all the direct dependencies installed in the container.

It's enough for just a single direct or indirect dependency to be compromised to have a botnet or turn it into something used for surveillance against the users.

Preventing it from exfiltrating data by isolating it from the network with Internet access is the only option if you want to run it. This requires local only devices.

Accessing it through the web UI or through the mobile app will still load icons from https://brands.home-assistant.io. The details are in this ticket https://github.com/home-assistant/frontend/issues/18549

Home Assistant

This time, I attended Monitoring your home, with DevOps observability tools. I thought it would be about OpenTelemetry for your home. After the speaker mentioned Home Assistant, however, I didn't pay much attention to the rest.

The rootless .container files go into ~/.config/containers/systemd. I'm using one to run Home Assistant.

ha-aws-cost is a project from Diego Marques for folks who use Home Assistant (a very popular open source home automation system), and provides custom component interacts with AWS to get the month to date cost and forecast cost and make it available on Home Assistant. It adds two new entities 1/Month to date cost: The current cost of your AWS account, and 2/Forecasted month costs: The forecasted cost based in your current consumption. Check out Diego's post on LinkedIn that provides some more background to this project.

Nice!

For a home-rolled solution, I use a GE CYNC ST19 Edison Style bulb in a socket right outside my office door. I have it configured through Home Assistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/), and then use Hammerspoon (https://www.hammerspoon.org/) on my macbook to make an API call to Home Assistant when the camera state changes.

If my camera turns on/off, so does the light bulb. Works really well for letting my family know I'm busy in meetings.

Given these changes, I thought about reintroducing Homebridge. But upon researching, I discovered Home Assistant.
