Part of me also thinks that fediverse doesn’t need growth for the sake of growth.
That it’s primary function is to be an alternative if people want to use it.

If it helps for a future purchase, Focusrite’s external interfaces have been amazing for Linux support.

To the point where I didn’t even notice; It just worked perfectly out of the box.

I’m assuming you’ve already checked this, but is your interface set to the same frequency/bit depth between Linux and windows? Or if it uses optical, whether it’s set to the same word clock source.

I keep wondering if I should open a little non-profit shop, specialising in “cheap home assistant stuff that isn’t awful, that I’ve tested”.
Then I remember the absolute chaos involved in running a shop…

I’m currently eyeing up an Airgradient One, which uses the SHT40.
Unfortunately, I don’t have enough tinkering time at the moment to roll out much more kit.

In honesty, I use the relative humidity readings as more of a “it’s dry” “It’s OK” “it’s moist”, than expecting any sort of accuracy!
I’ve even considered mapping percentage ranges to “moist, normal, dry” in HA.

I mean, that’s where all my sensors are, and they’re doing OK.

My outdoor sensors are classic 433mhz meteorology ones though, as I didn’t want to mess around waterproofing zigbee gear.

Have you considered mounting a door sensor (depending on the letterbox type).
If it has a shutter, you could mount the two parts on the inside, on the edge.
Do americans still use those flag things on mailboxes? As I guess you could also use a door sensor on the flag.

I knew this would come up, which is why I threw in the “ok for consumer gear” line.
I don’t have any super accurate sensors at home to test against, but to be honest, cheap hydrometers are best for vague ranges. “It’s damp”, “it’s normal”, or “It’s dry”.
Which is actually what I use it for: It’s in the bathroom to send alerts to open or close the windows based on humidity and outside conditions.

Compared to the rest of the sensors in the house, when the windows are open and air in the house is normalised, it’s within 5%, which is about all I could really hope for.

I think live view is how mine are configured, with a snapshot that updates every few minutes.

Then if it’s clicked, the true video stream is opened.

That’s a very good shout, as it’ll save me mucking about in bash.

That was going to be my backup plan, as I didn’t want to use any more resource if I could avoid it 😅

The good news is, we figured it out, and got the file serving out of /config/www without an auth requirement.

Aha, that was what I was after, big thanks!

So, after a bit of meddling:

The location I was placing things in was media>my media (from the HA UI).
Assets there are stored in /media, and served in 8123/media/local, but require an autoSig.
Changing permissions doesn’t affect the availability, no sig is a 401 error.

However, if the file is copied from /media to /config/www/ , it’s then served (as you said) under 8123/local.

Brill, not too painful a process for a few static images (or indeed if I’m feeling brave, I could just symlink the folders).

Maybe one day there will be a way to upload background images for picture elements cards from the UI :)

I can appreciate that!
I do have standard layouts which are mostly big button to do a thing in the room.
But I also fancied having by-floor layouts.

And you’re right: The button I have that sets the kitchen spots on/off/dim as a group is 10x more useable than a scale representation of their location in the ceiling!

HAOS under proxmox.
It’s definitely one of those “many ways to skin the cat” situations!

I’m more interested in what people are doing for internal hosting, not external hosting services. Thanks for the info, however.

It could also be that you need to re-add the thumbnails displayed in your dashboards, as the entities may be vestigial ones from when you used Dahua.

I had a weird issue recently, where after a few reboots all the radios seemed to fail with weird errors.
In a similar vein to your solution, replugging them all worked, and after restarting the services they all came back.
And this was an install which (at the time) was quite a few versions behind.

I wondered if it was something strange with the way the USB devices were passed through the hypervisor, maybe a weird race condition where HAOS was ready, but the USBs were not…Anyway, all sorted, same as you!

Feedback I’ve heard about Drip was that the interface was slightly wanting. Which is a shame. Sample of one, bear in mind!

Depends on the country I guess.

Here, a packet is 16 tablets of 500mg (acetaminophen) or 200mg (ibuprofen).

We’re limited to 2 packets combined per purchase to reduce the chances of severe overdose.

Package dosing generally suggests 2 tablets per dose, with at least 4 hours between.
Or one tablet for children between 10 and 14.

At the moment, it’s seen more like using a proxy or VPN. UK users connect to fuk outside of the UK, then the messages are relayed to zip. Fuk is UK focussed, so tries to work with the OSA.
The best analogy is using a UK-focussed email service (wherever it’s actually hosted) to email a non-UK address.

“Oh, hang on, silly me: I forgot I actually just had a massive, massive breakfast. Can I get on the flight now please?”
