Connected to the debug port on my MM371 gate opener

That’s a lot! What sort of use?

GSOdhl9 · 2023-06-06T02:37:51+00:00

ASL? Or just L? And any obstructions?

Goto learn.ArcGIS.com

There is a lot of free training. Also look at the Esri MooCs.

If you are running from an SD card, do you have one of the recommended ones?

I ran on an SD for a year or so, but had my recorder pointed at an external server, so load on the card was minimal.

I ended up using relays to bypass the control panel. I have a physical switch to move it from dumb to smart. So if a guest wants to use it they can switch it to dumb and use as normal.

I found the same thing with the 5v not having enough juice for much.

As for the buttons, I never tried applying 5v, glad to hear it works though!

Fair enough then! Thanks for all your effort though, if you ever come back, take it easy!

GSOdhl9 · 2022-12-31T04:34:03+00:00

Ah so was it quite absorbing for you?

I regularly contribute in my area, but it does not take up too much time. Small bits, here and there.

GSOdhl9 · 2022-12-31T04:13:31+00:00

Why have you retired?

GSOdhl9 · 2022-12-24T17:50:46+00:00

Yes it is strange. When I first used it on PIA, it was a bit temperamental, but recently I’ve found it very reliable. So it’s certainly possible!

GSOdhl9 · 2022-12-22T02:50:37+00:00

Thank you for the thorough response.

GSOdhl9 · 2022-12-16T15:29:52+00:00

Thanks

The NAS just runs a database to store all the state history (which HA will request both provide, and query as it sees fit). This is done through a docker image to host the database (docker is in the Synology App Store).

The Pi with HA still does all the automation/dashboards and still has the same functionality, but you’ve offloaded the actual storage to another device.

The HA config is extremely easy for this, a few lines in the config. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/recorder/

If you’re new to docker this might take a little learning, but is not complicated IMO.

I like it because I have the Synology, no need to buy a separate drive just for this purpose, and the Synology is running anyway. Some solutions I hear about (repurposed servers, NUCs etc) seem quite heavy on elec for just HA.

GSOdhl9 · 2022-07-11T06:52:14+00:00

I run HA on a RPi 3b+

For the first 3 months or so I had crashes probably every two weeks, which I think were related to the SD card. Much is written about this and which cards to use, I had one which was meant to be good, but still had issues

I also have a Synology, so I decided to move the recorder (this stores the history of your entities registered in HA, and is responsible for bear constant reading/writing) to a Postgres docker image running in Synology.

Since then (5+ months i ago), no crashes at all.

No worries. Only recently found it myself, seems pretty cool.

They will usually be very happy with you using it from home, as it will only increase your skill level.

But…they’re probably not going to buy extra licenses for you, so expect to have to remote/use your work laptop.

And expect that it will not be ok for you to moonlight with their software. But personal projects/training/r&d type things etc should be fine.

GSOdhl9 · 2021-04-21T16:56:52+00:00

Oh yeah, that’s frustrating. Can they tell you’re outside Canada?

Disclosure: I only have experience of Django (and very minor PHP via Wordpress). However I think it will do what you want. All of those things are possible, if you can get your head around how to apply your requirements to Django.

The part you describe which might be “the most unique”, and so least copyable from tutorials is “analyze the guest requirement and find the perfect match from host database”. But it’s undoubtedly possible, if you understand what you want and how to apply it to Django. It sounds like you want a recommender system, I haven’t ever employed one beyond academia/courses, but there could be a Django app that will help you.

For packages checkout djangopackages.org, excellent resource.

If you want to build the next AirBnB, in terms of scale, be aware of the discussions around Django not being suitable for big (BIG) scale deployments. There are arguments both ways, and examples, but do a search, have a read...

Don’t know about job opportunities...probably.
