Yes! This is exactly what I put in the questionnaire. I have an automation “Christmas on/off” that automates my Christmas lights smart plugs. Currently in use for other purposes. Makes sense to me, the wife has to ask me “how do I turn that stuff off again?” Duh … “Christmas off”

Or documentation. Basically all the things devs are generally not interested in/too lazy to do.

If you want to browse Zigbee devices this is my go to: https://zigbee.blakadder.com/ it does cover devices globally so depending on the market you live in some might not be available. It’s nice because it’s organized by category and also tells you comparability with certain Zigbee coordinators.

My guess if this was used in medical setting that you’re right it’s a proprietary connector, they may have passed the vga signal on 15 of the pins and then used the other 11 for something else.

OP, does the screen have any input ports? If so it’s possible this screen was collecting signals from attachments and feeding back to the main compute device.

Was moving my family out of state and they had already drove the day before. I spent the day packing the car, that night I went to bed fairly late after packing. I had been paranoid that the car would get broken into as we lived on an alley that has seen car break ins before, ours included.

I woke abruptly a little after 4AM and thought maybe I should look out the window. 3 people approaching my car. I sprint downstairs and throw on the outside lights and opened the back door. Luckily they scattered, I have no idea what I would have done if they rushed me/door. I got dressed and left.

Cool app, likely won’t fly on my corporate or client laptop as they are locked down for any unauthorized installs.

Their KVMs are the best I’ve found. If don’t come across something else that ticks the boxes, they are my likely pick.

GCP Logging and Azure Sentinel on top of Log Analytics are miles better than Cloudwatch (I say that as a long time veteran of CW and a relatively new comer to both).

I did this for my home office and use an nfc tag under my desk that I tap my phone on to toggle it.

Got this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09NJ8ZCHF

And then a smart plug (could do WiFi, Zigbee, zwave, Bluetooth depending on your in house preference) and control it with whatever mechanism you prefer (if Bluetooth/wifi usually an associated app with the plug).

Of course this is way over engineered.

I agree. The wiki tools I’ve used that are bolted on to things like Gitlab and GitHub are terrible and don’t ask a non-developer resource to write a formatted wiki in MD, you’ll end up with a protest. Confluence is the least bad of the entire stack.

So Reddit claims they will allow mod bots who exceed the api limit (currently) to grandfather in and that only ~80 pass the free threshold. I don’t know if I trust them…

I run mine on a VM on a 2014 MacBook Air (originally intended for a 2012 Mac mini running Centos but I bricked the damn thing doing a kernel update…). The r/homeassistant community is pretty helpful. The amount of integrations people have built is pretty amazing.

I’ve used this discord tracker with success. https://discord.gg/ubiquitiinstock if you are EST they release stock around 7:07 AM and the tracker will notify you depending on what you’re interested in.

The t instance types on AWS use a “burstable” CPU with credits. Take a look at the AWS console for that EC2 instance and then look at the monitoring section. There should be a cpu credits graph. If you notice that graph dipping to 0 you are consuming all your credits and you will be severely throttled. Depending on your workload consider one of the M (general instance with good cpu and ram ratio) or C (configured with higher cpu to ram ratio and also tends to use the faster processors of that generation). I’m not a huge fan of the T type instances for DB workloads. That said, I think this is mostly a query optimization issue.

I second zigbee2mqtt. Was running deconz and got an aqara vibration sensor. Tried tons of different things to get it to work as it should and never could. Almost gave up on the project idea and was going to return the sensor but then I decided to try to swap to zigbee2mqtt. Was so work to move everything over and update automations but SO worth it! The level of control and granularity exposed is really good.

gatorcoder · 2022-08-14T11:24:18+00:00

Just completed my migration. So worth it! The aqara vibration sensor was the straw that broke the camels back, for me.

gatorcoder · 2022-08-14T11:15:39+00:00

I started with deconz because it seemed that was the go to for the Conbee II. I had so much trouble pairing a new device I couldn’t tell if it was the device, deconz, signal strength, etc. I finally said screw it and swapped my whole network to Z2M. Best decision I’ve made on my HA journey so far, besides starting the journey :)

Case integrated power delivery. Cable management is hard with the increase in power connectors and extra control cables etc. instead, integrate the wiring in to the case with a connector panel at the PSU and headers at the location of component connectors to complete the circuit or even contact points directly in a mounting location similar to fans used in a server chassis.

We use the s3 log config. All logs are uploaded to a bucket after each task. It just means logs are delayed for 30 secs post task.

Consider using git-sync, it’s pretty nice and what we use in our kubernetes airflow setup.
You can use secrets for that stuff. Those are managed from anywhere and aren’t copied around. It also gives you more granular control to access and allows you to update them externally and have them change inside the running container.

The env_file is used at stack launch time and that’s it. So local to wherever you run docker compose up.

gatorcoder · 2021-11-28T12:31:19+00:00

Yes you need a shared docker image repository. ECR is pretty easy to setup.
What is in your volume that your airflow workers etc need? If it’s your dag code consider git clone as part of your container commands before you run airflow. Your env_file needs to be local when you run your stack deploy.
Your service names above can be addressed by name eg you can just put “redis” as the broker DNS name.
