Key Takeaways

Samsung’s Galaxy Buds FE are known for their affordability, high-quality audio, comfort, touch controls, and water resistance.

Wouldn’t want the reader to think the earbuds are all that bad

+1 for Shelly as I have or any other drop in relay, all the wiring you’ll need to do is behind the switchplate, you can decouple the input switch from the relay output and have HA trigger either output based on some input conditions. My fav config is having two flips of the switch perform a different action

Well im glad I didn’t buy a license, I imagine license checking is the hardest part of maintaining the Linux branch. Oh well

Gentoo is anti-consumer because I’m still waiting for it to compile

Mint is anti consumer because you have to enable snap

Hey yes, add a person for each person you want to have access, only have yourself as admin that way they wont have direct access to entities.

Now you can use either conditional dashboards, or conditional cards to control what utilities are available to users. For example, my dashboards home screen shows general controls for everyone, but conditionally shows light controls to each user on the same page. I then have myself an admin dashboard with server controls, etc.

For the garage, that was an issue I sought to avoid, a simple automation that closes the garage if it has been opened for too long, and a toggle for that function as well as garage notifications seem to be plenty.

Only one incident where my jerry-rigged Shelly relay remote had the sensor switch miss, and the auto close - thinking the garage was open - opened the garage. I added an error state so that it would attempt to close again and notify if the garage is open after autoclose, which works if its blocked as well. All of this because MyQ doesnt provide local or API access lol

Edit: turns out I may be wrong about entity access, which is a bit of a shame, hopefully we can see that in a future update.

Thats actually a brilliant idea, a little Macgyver, but certainly what I’m needing, thank you!

Not that its necessary but I would assume I would need per user automations and templates to be able to append a name and add that to a main message todo, a little over what I have time for

Hey I just went through google hell, make sure you are the Nest owner account, the project ID from the cloud page and the project ID from the nest page are whats needed on the last step, and at this part for me it still errored out after the redirect but did integrate nest.

You also as far as I am aware need external access with HTTPS set up, Porkbun was a breeze and I got myself a 10$/y .dev domain, and for that you will need to be able to open ports on your router. Honestly everything networking was easy compared to getting Google to play nice.

Also also its easiest if your browser session only has one Google account logged into it, good luck!

First year of Linux for me was Mint, loved it, have since switched to popOS which I will admit has been less stable than mint with the DE very infrequently locking up, it does self recover. Only REISUB’d Mint twice and I don’t actually think I’ve had to on Pop yet, some recent nvidia driver made it angry but rolled back without issue

Thats actually amazing! In that case I’ll risk sounding like a walking advertisement and mention how I was actually talking with a friend that its probably the only integration app and client that I’ve had the absolute pleasure of using, and that a new Samsung TV already works slow and doesn’t have the same app selection (Not even peacock or jellyfin!) doesn’t live nearly up to roku is abysmal. Wish I had some more constuctive feedback, just keep up the good work over there!

Roku support posting???
