Project mention: Do not buy a Hisense TV (or at least keep them offline) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-20Apparently the same issue has been reported with Philips TV [1] and Fritz!Box [2] as well.

There's no one right way to do this. For me, I focused on isolation and containment. So I used LXCs for everything with Plex as the only Privileged container. All other *arrs remained unprivileged. My data resides on a NAS elsewhere in my network so I had to set up SMB sharing to all the LXCs and as you'll find out, that becomes less than intuitive. I wrote a guide here that details how I configured everything.
For the ESP32, an hero is in the process of adding LVGL to ESPHome. You can try it out now: https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/6363
Here's the (very good!) preview documentation: https://deploy-preview-3678--esphome.netlify.app/components/...
This is such a game-changer for me that I'll be using the ESP32 over the ESP8266 for any projects involving displays from now on.
Project mention: Does anyone here drive around in a tesla? If so how is the FSD experience? | /r/lakeland | 2023-07-07The graphs linked above were generated by a self-hosted application called TeslaMate, which connects to the Tesla API and harvest data as you drive, so I've got fairly extensive "health stats" for the Tesla I've owned. TeslaScope is a cloud based equivalent, which is cheap, and I also use, but mainly as a backup to my TeslaMate instance.
What do you think about https://docs.openmqttgateway.com/ ?
Project mention: I built an offline smart home, and why you should too | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-11I am planning to do this soon(TM).
Probably starting with ESPHome to control my heat pumps over IR.
The remote works but I forget to turn it off when not in one of the rooms, and it can't do smarts like keeping temperatures in desired bounds.
An ESP32 running ESPHome with high power IR LED, a presence sensor, temperature sensor, and some pre-built library to control heat pumps[1]. it looks like it should be fairly simple to implement with Home assistant.
Now if I could only disable the beep from the heat pumps receiving commands.
I would like to do smarter lighting, but the lack of decent smart light switches that support local control and are also licenced for use in AU are a blocker there.

I'm using evcc.io to use my solar surplus to trickle charge my car.
We are making Gladys Assistant ( https://gladysassistant.com/ ), an open-source smart home software.
It's less "techy" than HA (no YAML files, no CLI), and UI first.
We have way less integrations for now, but are working hard on it.
Don't hesitate to try it and make us some feedback.
Fair points but with all due respect completely misses the point and context. My comment was a reply to a new user interested in esphome on a post about esphome.
You're talking about CircuitPython, 35KB web replies, PSRAM, UF2 bootloader, etc. These are comparatively very advanced topics and you didn't mention esphome once.
The comfort and familiarity of Amazon for what is already a new, intimidating, and challenging subject is of immeasurable value for a novice. They can click those links, fill a cart, and have stuff show up tomorrow with all of the usual ease, friendliness, and reliability of Amazon. If they get frustrated or it doesn't work out they can shove it in the box and get a full refund Amazon-style.
You're suggesting wandering all over the internet, ordering stuff from China, multiple vendors, etc while describing a bunch of things that frankly just won't matter to them. I say this as someone who has been an esphome and home assistant user since day one. The approach I described has never failed or remotely bothered me and over the past ~decade I've seen it suggested to new users successfully time and time again.
In terms of PSRAM to my knowledge the only thing it is utilized for in the esphome ecosystem is higher resolution displays and more advanced voice assistant scenarios that almost always require -S3 anyway and are a very advanced, challenging use cases. I'm very familiar with displays, voice, the S3, and PSRAM but more on that in a second...
> live with one less LX7 core and no Bluetooth
I'm the founder of Willow[0] and when comparing Willow to esphome the most frequent request we get is supporting bluetooth functionality i.e. esphome bluetooth proxy[1]. This is an extremely popular use case in the esphome/home assistant community. Not having bluetooth while losing a core and paying more is a bigger issue than pin spacing.
It's also a pretty obscure board and while not a big deal to you and I if you look around at docs, guides, etc, etc you'll see the cheap-o boards from Amazon are by far the most popular and common (unsurprisingly). Another plus for a new user.
Speaking of Willow (and back to PSRAM again) even the voice assistant satellite functionality of Home Assistant doesn't fundamentally require it - the most popular device doesn't have it either[2].
Very valuable comment with a lot of interesting information, just doesn't apply to context.

You could try putting in an issue here: https://github.com/dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin/issues
I recently discovered the home-assistant supervisor [0] repository. It's awesome to see such a well-designed, mature, and actively maintained open-source python application. I've found that there's no shortage of high quality python libraries and frameworks to learn from, but open-source applications aren't as common. I love coming across repos like this so I can study their design.
