operating-system VS open-meteo

https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/pull/3248

BTW found exact same issue with homeassistant browsing the internet; Add support for Intel GMAC Ethernet controller (#2589) (#2593) · home-assistant/operating-system@9ca836f (github.com)

HAOS (https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system) is not "vanilla" linux, and I have somewhat little experience of linux, although using raspberry-based systems (Domoticz, Pihole, etc) and basic usage of unix mainframes since early 90s. But the question I could not find answer for by googling is, could I use HAOS to farm chia as well, or is it too much optimized towards HA usage to reasonably serve as a chia farming computer too?

The main issue with the 3A+ is the 512MB of RAM. Combined with only having one USB port and no Ethernet, I would not advise using a pi3A+ as a sustainable foundation for HA.

Home assistant was the last thing I had running as a VM, but recently switched over to running it in a LXC container with their ContainerOS (i think that's what they call it). I would say don't do it (at least not yet), and go with their full OS in a VM (dl link to correct KVM/qcow2 version). I say don't start with HomeAssistantContainer b/c you lose Supervisor and the add-on store, and it's a bit less straighforward to get installed.

One thing to notice, I have been able to successfully boot Home Assistant OS Generic x86-64 https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system which is using kernel 5.15+ and I don't know why I am able to boot HAOS (maybe they are using uncompressed kernel?), but not other general or special Linux distributions.

hass.io builds the whole gamut of images. There's a list at the bottom of the github page https://github.com/home-assistant/operating-system/releases/tag/8.0.rc2

Yup, just manually type your location in that window.

Weather is coming (at least for now) from https://open-meteo.com/

I tried out the new omWeather and I definitely like it even better now. It uses a different data source, open-meteo.com, which doesn't require an API key the way OpenWeatherMap does, has better location search, has working sunrise/sunset time display, and a more informative main screen widget with observation and forecast information.

Then I started to learn about wind and I got interested in getting wind details easily so to note them down. I asked around my community and I got an answer: open-meteo.

Open-Meteo

We used free and open-source weather API Open Meteo to get a real-time forecast and convert data such as windspeed into the Beaufort scale for surveying.

I ran into this exact problem almost a year ago now when I first started learning. Simple answer is you can’t unless you build your own server and use environment variables. My solution was to use an API that doesn’t need a key.
