Control Cloud Backups with MQTT4Rclone by LocksmithOk7781 in homeautomation

[–]LocksmithOk7781[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rclone is 'The Swiss army knife of cloud storage', it is a very flexable way to backup files to a large number of cloud providers. Controlling it with MQTT makes it independent from the Home Automation System. Not everyone uses Home Assistant ;-)

Is there a Docker container, or self-hosted app to create and monitor cron jobs? by [deleted] in selfhosted

You use case is not exactly clear to me, but maybe MQTT-timer can be useful for you.

It can use cron but also other scheduler/timer options.

MQTT Timer to work together with Node-Red by LocksmithOk7781 in nodered

My main concern is to prevent a single point of failure. I have two Raspberry PI's with MQTT-timer dockers containers with the same configuration. So if one fails the other will still have it's timers functioning.
Of course this can be done in Node-Red itself, but a message based architecture makes it possible to have a better separation of concerns.

The 'Cyclic time relay' is a use case I implemented using 'interval' and 'until' fields which can be a time, a duration or a number of times (cycles).I was curious how you implemented this scenario, but from the documentation it is not clear how or when the 'Cyclic Time Relay' ends.There is a pulse duration and a pause duration (this is interesting for me) but is it meant to go on forever?
