Scrambled Exif (version 1.7.9): Remove the metadata from your pictures before sharing them

Scrambled Exif

Scrambled Exif is a metadata removal tool for Android. It can remove EXIF data for many file formats and has been translated into many languages.

You could do this on device using scrambled exif (https://gitlab.com/juanitobananas/scrambled-exif). It is also available on fdroid for Android.

is maybe having to use an app that is similar to Scrambled-EXIF in order to remove the EXIF data from photos/images/pictures before sharing them.

Bruh, use Scrambled Exif before sharing images

Scrambled Exif 1.7.5: Remove the metadata from your pictures before sharing them

The GitHub update, including changes, here: https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/releases/tag/4.1.0.M1

I understand the feeling :) I’ve tried home assistant multiple times, and I always come back to openHAB. Maybe it’s me getting old, don’t know. But like you, I dislike updating my server and having broken dependencies. That happens quite frequently with HA, where every once in a while we get people over on openHAB community forum asking for advice ( e.g. https://community.openhab.org/t/migration-from-home-assistant-to-openhab-and-installation-type/140110 ) because they too just want a stable service that they can rely on. I won’t say that there’s never been broken dependencies - not at all, in a previous update they changed the way the API works and the node red node broke - but here the difference is that you can go to their GitHub and review the changes (https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/releases/tag/3.4.0.M3) and they are impeccable in documentation. Check out the google integration documentation to understand what I mean:

OpenHab : https://github.com/openhab/openhab-distro/pull/1343

openHAB Beta 2.18.2-beta: Vendor and technology agnostic open source home automation

Look into OpenHab.

OpenHAB would work well as well. Definitely agree on zwave or maybe zigbee devices for low power usage.

I use this https://www.home-assistant.io/ or another https://www.openhab.org/ and a cheap raspberry pi zero. It can run 24/7. And maybe some "hacking" on your devices if not supported aka listed.
