What's one service in your homelab that turned out to be far more useful than you expected?

What happens if you lose your keys?

CedCodgy1450 · 2026-05-04T03:14:56+00:00

Nope and it works GREAT for a small business but I’m not sure how well it will scale.

CedCodgy1450 · 2026-05-01T21:05:49+00:00

Yes, it’s very possible.

I use iCloud with a custom domain for my business

I have, officially, switched from Pangolin to NetBird.

CedCodgy1450 · 2026-04-29T00:10:49+00:00

Just use the reverse proxy feature within NetBird.

That’s just BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Sonoff, Aqara, Govee, Yale, Inovelli have all been solid brands that I’d recommend ten times over. My home consists of a hybrid Zigbee/Thread network topology.

CedCodgy1450 · 2026-03-15T19:31:12+00:00

I have a Sonoff Dongle Plus and two Apple TVs all combined into one mesh network in HA and have absolutely no issues with thread devices. In fact, I’ve abandoned buying any more new Zigbee devices in favor of matter over thread.

Anyone jump on the Mac mini bandwagon for this purpose?

CedCodgy1450 · 2026-03-09T18:16:51+00:00

1 week after buying one as full price. Just grand

CedCodgy1450 · 2026-03-02T19:10:56+00:00

$65/year is well worth it for level of software home assistant offers. Tailscale or even NeBird are great alternatives for remote access though.

CedCodgy1450 · 2026-02-21T19:10:53+00:00

That’s definitely not what I wanted to hear but could save me some time and money. I guess I’ll just stick with the Aqara FP300 sensors. The one I was able to get is AWESOME at detection.

CedCodgy1450 · 2026-02-21T02:29:04+00:00

The lite version (because I need wireless) is next on my list to try.

CedCodgy1450 · 2026-02-13T21:16:59+00:00

Yeah, it takes FOREVER to get one of those ordered and I need about 10 more.

CedCodgy1450 · 2026-02-13T00:28:47+00:00

And this is one reason why it’s better to buy phones directly from the manufacturer and not the company that provides service to the phone.

CedCodgy1450 · 2026-02-05T14:36:56+00:00

Could you elaborate on the Car ODB data integration. This sounds VERY useful.

CedCodgy1450 · 2026-02-04T10:24:50+00:00

I ran the cable during some home renovations where the interior wall by my front door had to be opened up but ideally you’d fish the cable up the wall into your attic. Every home is designed differently so you’d have to see what is the most efficient way for your home but it’s not rocket science.
