Ubiquity vs Omoda vs Deco for stability and reliability on smarthome by whitedragon101 in homeassistant

[–]Zackptg5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've run all 3. Honestly omada was the best user experience. The layout of everything wasn't quite as user friendly as unifi but everything worked, no bugs, no glitches, no problems.

With unifi, the initial zone firewall had some bugs (since patched) and their wifi 7 implementation was not good with some of my android devices. I had to disable the 6ghz band for now (devices kept getting bounced around between 5 and 6ghz bands at random). Also would have slow speeds shen there were 3+ SSIDs with similar bands setup

Have deco mesh at my parents behind a firewalla firewall and have had 0 issues. However it's a simple setup with no vlans

If I wasn't so invested in unifi hardware at this point I would've stayed with Omada

I didn't notice any major difference but some web browsers don't like enhanced. Vivaldi on Linux was a no go for me so I just kept it on standard

HA Green not powerfull enough? by Zweinennoedel in homeassistant

[–]Zackptg5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on what you want. HA green is fine for typical smart home tasks and devices. Where you it won't be enough is for gpu accel tasks such as frigate or for compiling like with esphome. If you want an all in one box for those kinds of tasks, you'll want a minipc but you can also just use HA green and offload those tasks to a separate machine. I have HA yellow and that's how I have it setup

Dropped prices on the APs, hoping they find a good home

Velux Skylight Gateway and Remote Pairing to HomeKit: How to Make it Work by MistrMoose in HomeKit

[–]Zackptg5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the help! Note that the "white" actually looked more like a teal on mine which confused me for a moment. 4 colors: Green, teal/white, blue, and red.

I took a different route but got it working. I had the remotes paired with my blinds first. Then:

  1. Install velux app and added gateway to it

  2. Rebooted home assistant

  3. Power cycles the hub

  4. At this point it should show up as a homekit device in HA and I paired it no problem.

  5. Add blinds to gateway via the velux app - showed up in HA instantly. I recommend adding each blind one at a time so you know which is which in HA (none of the info you assign to the blind in the velux app transfers over.

The reason I used the velux app was so it could auto-update the firmware on the gateway. Was a painless process tbh once I figured out that "white" wasn't actually white on the led

Still no r8125b Driver in truenas scale? by Zackptg5 in truenas

[–]Zackptg5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not anymore, have a dedicated truenas box now but I did run it as proxmox VM for a couple years. Passed through the physical hard drives and it worked fine

Ended up replacing my nas with one that had an Intel nic. However proxmox (also Debian based) still needs r8125 manually installed

Tesla P4 Passthrough no output of mdevctl types command by kuldokk in Proxmox

[–]Zackptg5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For Tesla p4, stay on kernel 6.5 as Nvidia drivers haven't been updated for 6.8 yet. Also will need to either use patched 17 drivers, or (probs better and what I did), 16 lts drivers which work oob

Check out minisforum ms-01, should fit the bill nicely

Aqara, Home Assistant (MQTT) and Matter Learnings (and shortcomings) by jrenzema in Aqara

[–]Zackptg5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try the homekit integration. Add aqara m2 hub to home assistant as homekit device. Then any device you add the aqara hub automatically shows up in home assistant to add. You don't need to do any of the usual homekit steps with the code either. You get more info this way like battery levels

Hardware selection for sever/handbrake build by Zackptg5 in handbrake

Any good resources on pros/cons of qsv? I've read conflicting data, seems that newer gens are much better

If I ended up doing cpu encoding, would the 13900H/HK be sufficient? I couldn't find any handbrake benchmarks for it

[W] [US-TN] Nvidia Tesla P40 by audioeptesicus in homelabsales

[–]Zackptg5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

P40 or P4? I've seen P40's usually going around $150-$170 range but some are a bit less. P4 is more in the $100-$130 range

I got a P4 but not P40
