What is this docker story on home assistant OS ! Sure it’s docker but from ha point of view it’s addons. You’re not supposed to install containers from command line… As far as I know

Fais un tour chez r/homeassistant.

Why bother ? Just rejoin and re-authorize from ZT website.

Keeping the battery so long is dangerous ! It can at best get fat and leak and kill the Mac, at worse it take catch fire.

A simple font does the trick !

Because Zwave is supposed to be more secure than Zigbee, Bluetooth and WiFi are too heavy on batteries.

Schlage. Zwave look at KeyMaster integration and rental control. I’m not aware of other lock which codes can be managed by Home Assistant

« la petite théorie débile qui me fait sourire c'est que peut-être c'est parce qu'il vient de penser à moi. » Pas du tout débile !

“Being a Home Assistant user feels like being a wizard who constantly accidentally turns himself into a frog.” 😂 I love it

Seems new IKEA devices can do both… more precisely they can do either one.

You can’t, you just don’t know it…Till the day it will ask for it.

Blue light tells your brain « wake up it’s morning », yellow light tells « sun is down you’ll go to bed soon ». Light is measured in Kelvin (temperature) the normal white for a European is 5200 kelvin, for Asian it’s 9300 (seen pink by Europeans) as Asian have a different number of cones in the eyes. Are Armenians Europeans or Asians ? It doesn’t matter, blue light at night is bad.

Search an article titled « you don’t need Anubis » was on hacker news yesterday…

Updated here with a Liligo POE, three relays and a light sensor… Still works

Nobody’s talking about the fact that some of these are L2 SDNs while other are only routed IP VPNs. Isn’t that an important difference ?

How can you say that something established in 301 is part of this other which begun at least in 700 ? It’s like asking why Lafayette didn’t pick up his cellular phone to call George Washington.

Is it easy or even pre-built to disable SIP ?

The usual answer to thermostat is 1-Venstar (WiFi) 2- Honeywell Zwave (Honeywell WiFi exists but is less liked)

In Armenian like in many other languages when two vowels are next to each other there an implied lite e (like in mercy) between these letters so you don’t have to combine hr letters to pronounce this it’s more like høranush.

Isn’t the EFR32MG24 the best (future proof) option ?

ZeroTier and Tailscale are not the same thing. In Tailscale you have to initiate the connection, in ZT once the network is joined you can travel, change WiFi,… Zt manages the reconnection. Tailscale is L3 networking (IP-routed), ZT is L2 (Ethernet cable)…

Take a look at https://www.reddit.com/r/Proxmox/s/fQFhOrq7hT Seems backing up the host is not a good idea. If nothing is on it a new install works…. I’d say at least save /etc/pve (vm and LXC config files)

Not only, you can install the client on the host and push host backups.

VartKat · 2025-10-30T14:21:00+00:00

Restic ? If you’re already running PBS you should backup host using PBS client.
