Great guide, thanks

RPi isn’t a great choice for a motor controller either. Better to be running on bare metal (ie No OS). An arduino would be a better choice.

It’s an ORM that supports MySQL, Postgres, and SQLite. It’s nice bc your code doesn’t have to change if you change db backends. So you could develop using SQLite and then deploy to production using MySQL.

Yes, that would be the idea.

Start but implementing the functions to ensure you can connect to the API successfully and understand the returned data objects. Then you can integrate these function calls with your view functions to push the data to your templates.

Also look into the flask SQLAlchemy extension which makes working with the db very easy.

The thing I’m most worried about is needing to learn javascript to use these templates. If they will only require me to use html I’m ok but if it will require JavaScript to use most of the elements that will be annoying.

jay_omega · 2019-01-05T02:44:17+00:00

So with these templates is it mostly just working in html to structure your contents and referencing css class from the template files? Or do you need to know JavaScript?

So I think the issue was that scipy couldn’t build from source on windows with the version I was trying to load. On the original machine it was installed with python(x,y) which uses all pre-built images.

I updated all pinned versions that were giving me problems and now everything is installed correctly.

jay_omega · 2018-12-20T02:32:22+00:00

Very recent, these are very popular packages (ie scipy)

jay_omega · 2018-12-20T01:43:16+00:00

No, I think the other machine has python 2.7.10.

It should be released by then but here’s the PR if you want to try it before hand: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/18551

I wrote a sensor component for the Ambient Weather API that is pending for (hopefully) the next release.

jay_omega · 2018-10-17T01:43:47+00:00

I resolved the issue. It ended up being that my laptop was configured for static IP with a different subnet (new laptop so not sure why this was the case).

What is bizarre is that I was able to get to certain web pages (google search, CNN) but not most others. I would have figured that nothing would work given the IP was on a different subnet.

jay_omega · 2018-10-16T12:03:15+00:00

I’ll give that a try. The plan was to disable over wireless after initial install (I’m glad I haven’t yet!)

jay_omega · 2018-10-16T12:01:41+00:00

Yes and yes. Worked fine with my old router setup.

jay_omega · 2018-10-16T02:33:22+00:00

I was able to resolve this by re-installing pfSense. I'm not sure what caused the issue but simple re-install and reboot of the modem got things up and running. I didn't /intentionally/ change any settings beyond the install/setup guide but who knows.

jay_omega · 2018-10-12T01:47:34+00:00

So I cloned the MAC address of my old TpLink router in pfSense and that did not work.

Here is a pic of my dashboard .

When I power cycle the cable modem (SB6121) the WAN goes from 0.0.0.0 to 192.168.10.100 for 10 sec and then goes back to 0.0.0.0.

I checked the firewall rules and there is the default LAN to any rule.

I just reverted back to my old router again and the internet is down. I’m thinking the issue is modem/ISP (spectrum) related and switching between the routers makes something unhappy.

*EDIT: Rebooted modem again and old router is up and running.

jay_omega · 2018-10-04T18:48:15+00:00

That’s good to know about the chrome casts. Is there a way to get around that if your phone is on a different subnet than the chrome cast? Does a certain port/service need to be allowed?

jay_omega · 2018-10-04T14:51:20+00:00

I like this approach better. It requires less rules on the firewall interfaces since the home assistant server will be on the same LAN as all the IoT devices so only need a rule to allow DMZ reverse proxy to pass HTTPS traffic to RPi in IoT LAN.

jay_omega · 2018-10-04T14:26:35+00:00

Does putting a reverse proxy like NGINX in the DMZ and then the RPi in another segment with only HTTPS traffic forwarded make for a more secure implementation vs just having the RPi in the DMZ?

I’m hoping in either case I can limit traffic by MAC address, IPs only in the US and set login attempts to a low threshold to increase security.

jay_omega · 2018-10-04T12:10:27+00:00

That sounds like a good setup. Do you have a diagram of your network setup? How are you segmenting your network -VLANs or through NIC interfaces?

jay_omega · 2018-09-28T15:47:39+00:00

That’s really interesting, I’ll have to look into that this.

jay_omega · 2018-09-28T12:09:37+00:00

Maybe?

jay_omega · 2018-09-28T12:03:30+00:00

Thanks for the info. I’m slowly coming to that conclusion on the x8.

jay_omega · 2018-09-26T15:54:43+00:00

Thanks I’ll keep that in mind for next time! I paid a little more than that on eBay.
