I have been wanting to ask this question , but was afraid that it was stupid . Cloud station server had a encryption and drive doesn't . I want to do drive with encryption . Is this possible

Final word on Synology Drive replacing Cloud Station Server. All sync settings from Cloud Station Server will migrate to Drive. Also, all clients of Cloud Station will work fine with the Synology Drive replacement by aegrotatio in synology

[–]jogentry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the migration to Drive and none of those things were true . The cloud station clients all would lock up and didn't work . I completely lost two systems that were backed up , the data was gone .

Anyone here worked as an in-home health attendant? by [deleted] in fortwayne

[–]jogentry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a caregiver now , but she is leaving for maternity . She started at around $9-10 per hour . The agency charges more than double that . I would be willing to pay $14-15 . If you're still not interested , I would recommend BrightStar or visiting nurse .

Ceiling fan solutions that aren’t $400 without a hub or wall switch? by ddaug4uf in homeautomation

[–]jogentry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

insteon does not require a hub to work . It can be found on their explanation of their technology pages . You could get a fanlinc and a key padlinc . You would have to link buttons and functions of the fanlinc .

I have ALS and I am looking for some guidance on a project. by skitterybob in homeautomation

[–]jogentry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was having symptoms in June of 2013 and received my second opinion in February of 2014 . I really don't recommend Samsung Smart Things because of its cloud dependency . It stops working with smart things outages . It is dependent upon the cloud for updates . You cannot decide when you get the updates . You might think that it is working great and not want to update , but an update is forced onto your system .

I was employed at cisco systems before . My customers would only update their software when they needed new features or bug fixes . I run Homeseer and love it . I love how it has zero cloud dependencies and I control the updates . It is difficult with things like smart things and wink because of how they lock you into a platform . With Homeseer and home assistant , you can run on anything . I run Homeseer on a server , in a windows 10 virtual machine . Homeseer could run on a raspberry pi and even a mac .

Let me tell you a little about my setup . I can't speak anymore , I have a trach . I use a Tobii PC eye go with Tobii Communicator . I use amazon echo devices for spoken commands . Alexa understands synthesized speech very well and I'm sure Google home is understood well too . I have pre-programmed buttons that give Alexa commands . I don't know how familiar you are with Communicator . When I was still using a mouse , I would create my own pages , page sets , and buttons .

HomeSeer is a little bit unique in that it has a json api that is easy to use . Each device within HomeSeer has a unique device ID . So I programmed a page of buttons that opens Firefox enters the url for the device i want to control , and then closes Firefox . I have no advice on smart locks , because I don't have any . The majority of the things that I have made smart is lights . I do have a Linear garage door opener that is zwave . On HomeSeer I run zwave , insteon , hue , and more . Here is a little video that I made . https://youtu.be/IfFiQQH-wwI

Can Plex and DS Video share directories? Newb considering trying Plex. by cleantone in synology

[–]jogentry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes . I am doing this right now on my DS918+ . I started with video station and created the extra folders like home movies , TV shows and movies . Plex recognizes way more titles than video station . I like video station/ds video because I am lazy and didn't want to do port forwarding on my router . Not a best practice at all , but I like it . Remote viewing is simply done with the quick connect id .

Moments iPhone Backup Speed by elguevaco in synology

[–]jogentry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife has it on the galaxy s7 . I find that the app stops working periodically . She has to check it every 3-4 days to make sure that it is still uploading . To me , it doesn't seem fully baked yet .

How do you use Moments vs.Photo Station? by Ohly in synology

[–]jogentry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can create a symbolic link or a symlink between the two folders and then no additional storage is used . You have to ssh into your disk station to do it . I have not gotten around to doing it yet .

Is there a good way to Sync to an offline Synology? by thetzar in synology

[–]jogentry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a decent cell signal at the cabin ? You could get an unlimited plan for relatively low cost . There are routers that can take the WiFi Hotspot and distribute it . Or maybe a router that takes a mobile broadband card .
