11/13/2023, 8:06 PMHA will totally ruin an SD card with all the writes, FYI. google it and you can tune it down some, but in the end, it's not long for this world

11/13/2023, 8:25 PMHA is awesome!
I'm running HA on a decent SD, been running for some time with no issues (but the issues may be coming)

11/13/2023, 9:57 PMI’ve still got 2 Raspberry Pi 3’s I got from the CTP program. Still trying to figure out how to get one to manage a light for when I’m in a call

11/13/2023, 10:08 PMInteresting, I’ll give that a look. I’m only looking at HA because of its ability to report on my new solar panels. Wanted something that I could use to possibly automate a few things that perhaps Enphase’s app can’t do.
It’s the only smart device in (on?) my house that isn’t on my SmartThings network.

11/13/2023, 10:27 PMHA is annoying to me, as it feels like "work".... These days at home, i don't want to "work" .... ST is just easy. It's not the best by any stretch, but it's easy.

11/13/2023, 10:27 PMFucking with YAML files is not something I want to do on my off-time. hahaha

11/13/2023, 10:28 PMAs HA goes on, the need to modify YAML becomes less and less, if at all now.

11/13/2023, 11:52 PM^ next step is to use HA Automations to call that URL and move through a few steps when enabling my webcam (turning off Spotify/turning on the right lights etc)

11/14/2023, 12:25 AMYAML files? Citrix has already ruined those for me thanks to the automation cmdlets.
Nick Panaccio
11/14/2023, 12:26 AMAnd yeah, SmartThings has been outstanding for me. The move to Edge drivers was horseshit, but at least the important apps I use made drivers for it, so I don't lose too much functionality.
Nick Panaccio
11/14/2023, 1:38 AMI've spent an hour looking through how to actually make these changes, but apparently the rpi install for HA makes it impossible. I now hate everything about this for wasting so much of my time...

11/14/2023, 1:21 PM@Kees Baggerman I have a Blynclight, but the CameraUsage app might be just what I need. I have done something similar via the Streamdeck, but that’s manual. Wondering though if I can automate that with Shortcuts/Automator 🤔

Ryan Gallier
11/14/2023, 2:03 PM@Nick Panaccio Yup... I'm sorry.. That's how i felt with HA too.
n
Nick Panaccio
11/14/2023, 2:18 PMYeah, this is shit compared to ST. Ah well, I'll see how this solar reporting actually does, and if it does burn out the SDcard, I'll turn if back off and throw it into the closet again.

Ryan Gallier
11/14/2023, 2:23 PMThat's what i ended up doing. 😄

11/14/2023, 2:35 PMhow about RPi with AdGuard Home ?

Kees Baggerman
11/14/2023, 2:37 PMThat's how I'm utilizing my NUC: HA/AdGuard/Unify Controller

11/14/2023, 2:38 PMI honestly don't think I care about that enough to set it up

11/14/2023, 2:50 PMMy router can natively use AdGuard for DNS, apparently.

11/14/2023, 2:51 PMOPNSense?

Nick Panaccio
11/14/2023, 2:51 PMActually, not necessarily natively, but it's an option in Merlin's firmware.
Nick Panaccio
11/14/2023, 2:52 PMJust points all DNS queries to their servers. Looks like somebody wrote a guide for actually installing AdGuard Home on the router itself if you wanted to go that route.
