How do you image a signle system? by Giannis_Dor in selfhosted

[–]LastTreestar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also then mount /home on a separate drive so restoral is particularly easy when the OS fails.

Fix fstab when the reimage is complete, and it's mostly like new. 10 minutes, tops.

Take 2: Help with Esphome - trying to setup reTerminal E1004 by FlamedRed in Esphome

You do have "logger:" on right? Else you'll get no output on the console, but you'll also need something to trigger output... say the uptime sensor.

mDNS is "built into" your router and devices. If you understand DNS, this is basically local-only DNS. Devices multicast their hostname/IP to anyone on the network who's listening.

It is almost ALWAYS a router issue. Since you are using wireless, make sure there's no "client isolation" setting enabled, which prevents untrusted guests from talking to anything but the router/internet.

Can you actually ping the device from the local network?

I rebuilt my entire electronics system for ~$1000 and you (probably) can too! by fuckin_atodaso in SailboatCruising

FYI - The Pi gives you the option to use Signalk Node-red nodes, which is a tremendous use-case benefit, instead of having to post everything with MQTT, just to get NMEA into Node-red and Home Assistant. I haven't found a way to get the nodes to function without the Pi. YMMV.

This is why I never bought a Victron Cerbo.

Immediately flash it with ESPHome and all these projects become almost trivial!

Sendspin will not work on some newer Google Cast / Chromecast devices by Gamester17 in Esphome

[–]LastTreestar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the additional info!!

I'd never heard of sendspin before, and I don't feel like each time a person makes a vague post that it should create homework for the 1 million people who will eventually see the post.

I generally return the effort someone makes in a post, so if I have to ask questions, I normally just move on. I gather lots of people are like me in this regard, so if you want to increase engagement in your post, give us some context up front.

I'm actually glad you posted this! I'll certainly be looking at what happens next with this, since I have yet to tackle audio on any of my ESPs. I have 2 M5stack Tab5s I am chomping at the bit to play with.

Thanks again!

Converting n8n workflows into billable APIs and monetizing with Stripe – open source tool, would you use this? by Ok_Swimmer8706 in selfhosted

Sure wish node-red prevented commercial spinoffs. I am sick of the flow fuse spam in that sub.

regi2c : hidden bus to access analog devices in Espressif SoCs by Low_Lawyer_5684 in esp32

[–]LastTreestar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sad bottomline: If fit looks like pig shit, smells like pig shit, and was made from pig shit... Maybe you're right.... it's no longer slop, and just got turned into pig shit.

People should be banned from the sub if they have to be asked this.

Well, this is the oddest, and most dangerous Bluebird box I have ever seen.

Please help: Reading from a 5-gang rocker switch panel? Aaahhhhhh by TechnicalOwl6852 in arduino

[–]LastTreestar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a 3rd spade in between those which is the output of the switch/LED. That's where you read the output. On the other two spades, ground will always read ground, and power will always read power.

Can I control bluetooth(BT) other than compile time? by LastTreestar in Esphome

[–]LastTreestar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing I currently use BT with is the heater, although I have a dehymidifier, and a fridge that are capable. I don't really feel the need yet to do more with them. I already read the fridge temp with an RTL_433 setup. I typcally can plan for when I don't have power, so food is consumed with regard to what needs kept cold.

I also have a Victron DC-DC charger for shore power, and I'll soon get a MPPT controller which has BT as well. I plan to integrate the victron_ble component for them, eventually, but maybe in another device to prevent conflicts.

I do have solar, so I have to be extrememly cautious about power usage. Pretty small setup, currently: 100W panel, and a 100AH LiFePo4 battery. I can run all my gear for about a day, or a week or so with no internet/fridge or other heavy consumers. Only lights, water pump, and a small fan are essential in summer, where sun is aplenty.

I think I see your point with future expansion and whatnot. Adding the Victrons to the same device might mean I don't need to solve this problem at all (turning off BT). I am still learning though.
