NAB 🇬🇧🇪🇺🔶:marmite:I'm after weather station recommendations. Wind speed and direction, rain, temperature and humidity are essential and UV/light would be good. I need output via MQTT (I'm not averse to some 433MHz/SDR type solution).

Home AssistantTime for the midyear roadmap update!

Rpsu (326 ppm)Yesterday I decided to gather basic documentation of my home network into one file. As a result I know I have four RaspberryPis, instead of only three.

RachelSo industrial SCADA systems often have a certain style of graphical view to them I wonder: is there any toolkit for that, or graphical mock-up tool? I guess the alternative is sit down with MS paint or something Goal would have a page in the smartphone dashboard naturally <a href="https://transitory.social/tags/Homelab" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Homelab</a> <a href="https://transitory.social/tags/HomeAutomation" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAutomation</a>

Paul PuschmannInstalling Debian on the old Intel MacBook was easy. Interesting to see that even with a „server“-installation all the ACPI-stuff (or whatever) is totally working, like sleep on lid-close. At least now I have some learning opportunity to configure and automate these settings. My NUCs (derivates) did not need this. 😀<a href="https://ieji.de/tags/homelab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homelab</a> <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/homeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeAutomation</a> <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#debian</a>

Daniele Verducci 🧉This morning I woke up to a very silent and "static" house, and before breakfast I was greeted by a lot of blinking and unhappy leds in all the <a class="hashtag" href="https://social.ichibi.eu/tag/iot" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IoT</a> devices around the house...

MinoruHow can humidity in the bathroom get lower than the rest of the house?I want to automatically turn the towel dryer when it's not needed. I put a bunch of Zigbee sensors across the entire flat, and use the difference between humidity in the bathroom and the median humidity in the rest of the house. When someone showers, the difference jumps to 20% or more, triggering the automation. Once the showering is done, I can see how bathroom humidity drops while adjacent rooms get slightly more humid. But after a few hours I see that the humidity in the bathroom is 1% or 2% lower than the median. Now, the sensors are speced to ±3%, but the effect seems pretty reproducible, so I think it's either a systematic error at some humidity levels or a real effect that I can't explain.<a href="https://functional.cafe/tags/HomeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAutomation</a>

Courtney RosenthalI got a new smart thermostat, a Venstar ColorTouch (first photo). The reason I did so, instead of the usual Ecobee or Nest, is the local API (second photo).That means I can control the thermostat directly, without using the cloud.<a href="https://venstar.com/thermostats/colortouch/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://venstar.com/thermostats/colortouch/</a>It is a feature step-down from my previous Ecobee. For instance, I miss the ability to do limited time overrides. But I think it's an alright tradeoff. The integration into Home Assistant was a snap.<a href="https://pdx.social/tags/homeAssistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeAssistant</a> <a href="https://pdx.social/tags/homeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeAutomation</a>

Ozzie D, NP-hard :bikepump: :vegan:<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@kajer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@kajer</a> I missed your post on this a few days ago -- this is excellent, some great ideas! I have two bathroom exhaust fans on mechanical rotary-dial wall-switch timers (like this one <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Intermatic-IW700K-20-Amp-Heavy-Wall/dp/B00LBHBL6I" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/Intermatic-IW700K-20-Amp-Heavy-Wall/dp/B00LBHBL6I</a>), which turn them on for 15-20 min intervals a few times a day, but would love a system that responds to ambient CO2 levels. What fan controllers do you use? I haven't set up Home Assistant yet (on my summer project list, which is long enough), but it looks like my ol' Aranet4 sensor will integrate, although it doesn't sense particulates.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/HomeAutomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomeAutomation</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/CleanAir4all" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CleanAir4all</a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/RespiratoryHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RespiratoryHealth</a>
