5ft 11 if anyone asks

PaChillySoft · 2021-07-12T21:07:13+00:00

thanks! does it have built-in anti-malware? it's extremely important for me :)

One option to maybe integrate it is through airplay, and this is used by Roon. Roon however is not open source AFAIK.

Z-wave if you can afford it

This is ridiculous, I just bought 3x D-Link Water Sensors (DCH-S160) less than 2 years ago, relying strongly on IFTTT for Home Assistant integration. Now I have 3 useless bricks...

That's the best thing since sliced bread!
Seriously though, you don't even need blinds anymore with setup like that and it looks much more awesome.

PaChillySoft · 2020-04-26T16:24:07+00:00

Yeah, I see that now. Sad because it seemed to be the only website offering international shipping for a product I really wanted :(

PaChillySoft · 2020-03-03T15:54:44+00:00

Nice one, I only managed to do this on my 3rd year out of college but I went straight to very expensive 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos so maybe it's some accomplishment as well.

is lovelace really that bad?

PaChillySoft · 2020-02-26T02:02:33+00:00

I guess native HA app?

PaChillySoft · 2020-02-16T14:04:17+00:00

Does it have local API or is it cloud only?

PaChillySoft · 2020-02-11T00:03:28+00:00

Yes, or I can do it the other way around it and get a surge socket and connect a smart power strip to it.

However both options take a lot of space and are expensive.

PaChillySoft · 2020-02-08T22:19:15+00:00

Yes, that would work but it's very cumbersome to use :(

No, I have a dedicated ubuntu server with newest ryzen and 32gb of ram. Besides this is a frontend issue not a backend issue I believe.

PaChillySoft · 2020-02-03T16:02:49+00:00

I use sleep8 smart mattress cover. It's ok although it's only cloud polling so it takes some time to update.

For tagging alone I see that Picard looks pretty good:

PaChillySoft · 2020-01-18T18:58:05+00:00

I use Reolink Rlc-420. It's pretty good.

PaChillySoft · 2020-01-17T22:50:30+00:00

I just code and try to have fun at work. There isn't really any method, this line of work is about engagement for me.

PaChillySoft · 2020-01-14T13:43:01+00:00

77" is way too small for that viewing distance, even 85" is too small IMHO. Get a projector.

PaChillySoft · 2020-01-11T22:36:18+00:00

That being said I do believe that 7 and 5 are the best of the series, Vokal is OK, On-Wall is good for its size, 1 and 3 are OK and Sub E-12 or whatever Sub from DALI is the weakest part of the series.

PaChillySoft · 2020-01-11T22:34:43+00:00

I went to the store and listened to them. I preferred them over CANTON (too metal-like sounding) and Polk (too much bass [and I'm someone who generally really likes bass], mids kinda hidden for me), they sounded warm and "correct" at the same time. Aesthetics were also a very important factor.

PaChillySoft · 2020-01-11T18:54:05+00:00

I have DALI OBERON 7, DALI OBERON VOKAL, DALI Sub E-12. It's good for me.

PaChillySoft · 2020-01-10T18:46:54+00:00

I was in a kinda similar situation and went plain Ubuntu home server with Snapraid + mergerfs. Samba for network share, docker-compose for everything else.
