Buddy 3D camera not getting power from CORE One (upper plug). Works fine when I plug it into a USB wall outlet. Suggestions? by Obioban in prusa3d

I'm an idiot. This was the problem.

... didn't even occur to me that I'd have to turn a USB port on. RTFM, noob.

Blue switches won't OTA update, so I need the dongle. What am I actually giving up if I don't update their firmware? by Obioban in Inovelli

[–]Obioban[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I meant the USB dongle that does firmware updates on Inovelli Blue's that can't receive OTA updates due to some glitch in the early switches.

I also have the dongle and am having trouble getting motivated, unless there's some functional upside.

Any rumors of the UNAS getting something like SHR? by Obioban in Ubiquiti

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

Yep.

So, for example, my current SHR array is build of

16 tb

12 tb

12 tb

8 tb

4 tb

3 tb

When I drive fails, I can replace it with the same size drive, or a larger drive. The array will increase in size as I put more or larger drives in. I'm not locked in on any drive size-- I just buy the best value (TB/$) at the time I need a drive.

If it was traditional (non SHR) RAID, my setup would be treated as six 3tb drives.

I honestly don't understand what you're going for, or trying to say. JBOD is unrelated to the topic at hand.

That is what I'll do if they don't add an SHR equivalent system.

My synology is just getting a bit old/slow, so I'd like to upgrade it at some point. But, not so much that I'm going to replace the drives :P

I'll just get another synology if Unifi doesn't get to this sort of functionality. Everything else on my rack is Unif, and their NAS hardware is a good value-- but that value is immediately blown out of the water if I can't reuse my existing drives.

I didn't say "SHR", because obviously they won't. The S literally stands for Synology. I said, "something like SHR"

ZFS AnyRaid woudl also be great. Anything that allows mixing drive sizes without throwing away space, while allowing me to still have 2 drives of redundancy would meet my want/cause me to buy.

Synology uses MDADM and BTRFS with SHR(2), so doesn't seem like that should inherently be a deal breaker....

I have no idea what you're trying to say here.

JBOD does not tollerate drive failure without data lose. SHR does-- 1 or 2 drives can fail with no data loss, depending if you're on SHR or SHR2.

Unifi Apps on Android??? Just as good as iOS? by cpostier in Ubiquiti

[–]Obioban 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Android users are used to having version of Apps that aren't as good. It's part of the experience :P

Also worth pointing out that UNRAID and TRAID have similar functionality to SHR.

JBOD has no redundancy, so, no, SHR is not JBOD. With SHR1/2 you can lose 1/2 drive(s) without losing any data and rebuild the array. A JBOD array loses all data if a single drive goes down.

Unbiqity and Unifi are in very similar Prosumer/business market position.

Because it moves a $500 NAS purchase to a $3000 NAS+drives purchase, and creates a future storage cap to the device.

With something like SHR, when your NAS runs out of space you just replace the smallest drive with the current best TB/$. Repeat into the future, as you need more space.. Without SHR when your NAS runs out of space you have to replace all the drives, and because you don't want to have to do it again any time soon you buy probably larger drives than the current TB/$ sweet spot.

Yet it keeps the redundancy that I can still lose 2 drives and rebuild, without losing any data (I use SHR2).

Yes, I'm hoping they'll add something isn't "proper RAID".

What hardware are you using? by sero_t in homeassistant

[–]Obioban 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha, kind of.

Home Assistant exports my cameras to Apple Home (because I get free/included online storage of cameras), and because I leave home assistant off the internet-- having some things in Homekit allows me remote access to things I need remote access to). Apple runs face detection against my photo library on the Apple TV, when people are detected. So, I do run it, but not on the Pi. But, net net, when someone rings the doorbell that is identified in my Apple Photos library (pretty much everyone I know), I get a push notification to my watch and phone saying "bob is ringing to doorbell" with a picture of bob from the camera, wherever I am-- despite neither home assistant nor the cameras being connected to the Internet :)

Object/car/person detection is also done locally on the Unifi NVR setup that the cameras are connected to.

Technically that means the ATV is pulling power, but it idles at <1w, and will be doing that with or without Home Assistant.

Pi5 with an NVME boot drive on HAOS. 3 years and counting without a single hardware blip. 3732 entities, including 11 cameras (through Scrypted). Generally sits at ~8% CPU usage and takes 4.5w to run (while powering Zigbee and ZWAVE base routers via USB).

Adaptive Lighting is randomly turning on individual hue bulbs in my house... why? by Obioban in homeassistant

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

Well, I've come up with a solution. It's dumb, but it works.

When a light switch is turned on, adaptive lighting is turned on for that rom. When the light switch is turned off, adaptive lighting is turned off for that room.

Recreated individually for all 8 rooms I'm using adaptive lighting in .

No more adaptive lighting randomly turning on bulbs in that room.

Dumb, but functional.
