Ah, ok… I see. I guess you’ve not filtering on distance then, ok. I see all my neighbours stuff on 1 sensor, so automatically started filtering (and then attempting to tune)
Good point on the negative room sensing, I think I need to start this again… but also ditch the crap module.
But… how much faffing did you have to do to get the tuning right?
I’ve recently started using this and have 3 different ESP modules and I’m having a hellofatime getting them to show near-enough results, let alone accurate.
1 of them literally has the phone on top of it and it thinks it’s 4m away.
I’ve gone upto absorbtion factor 10 (Spock) with an RSSI adjustment of 6, and that’s passible on 1 device, but not another
I’ve been using Linux for about 7 months now and have become a lot more comfortable using the terminal but I feel like there is more that I can learn....
Just out of curiosity, I presume a full backup (inside HA, not of the VM itself) can be restored to a completely new HA VM and everything returns? Addons? Integrations? HACS?
Next school year, my son will be left home after school for a few hours while my wife and I are at work. I’m looking for a way to detect when he’s home and have the front door unlock (among other automation scripts that are in place)....
Short version of this interview is that nothing is changing, other than they’re going to be asking a flat fee “$5-20” for the app, rather than relying on donations. All donation platforms have been closed. However, if you choose not to, as Louis says “that’s between you and your God”....
Hmm, I’m in a very similar situation… I think a few people use the calendar in Thunderbird for example, but I don’t use an email client.
What I’ve found that works well enough for me is the calendar in Vivaldi - I can see multiple calendars (ie other family members) Work, etc… so far it’s done me well.
Clonezilla has been my goto backup / restore solution for years. I’ve used it on everything from RaspberryPi SD Cards to a Dell Poweredge server with PERC RAID controller (because some fool setup the wrong RAID parameters).
I didn’t know about Rescuezilla though… so thanks for that.
Good day self-hosters! I’m not exactly sure what to call what I’m looking for besides a “clipboard”. Let me describe my problem and what my ideal solution is....
I’ve been using it for years for a similar reason.
Each section (Tiddler) that you create in each wiki can be exported as a static HTML file, so if you have tables, etc, then formatting shouldn’t be lost.
I use Firefox with an addon that helps to save changes (not at the desk at the mo, so can’t check the name), but it works well.
I think others have covered the main points, but I found it hard going for 1 device (ie a Ras Pi, VM, etc), but then it was effortless when I wanted to add a 2nd (or more…), so at first pick the sensible uses, then consider ansible for that one-off device a little later…
I like a few specific utils (tmux, nmon, htop) on all my devices: ansible script
I want to update all the Ras Pis in the house: ansible script
Within the GNU/Linux ecosystem there are all kinds of tools to diagnose the system, or rather, to check the state of the hardware, but there are few distributions specifically designed to perform this task, or at least that I know of, because the only distribution I know that is intended to diagnose the computer, (Or at...
Yeah +1 for Parted Magic - I’ve been using it for years, professionally.
Has hardware stress testing, SMART checking, etc.
It costs actual money, but that’s the fee for creating the whole thing, which I’m fine with… I could make something similar with a Live USB distro (I use Arch btw), but Parted Magic can run entirely in RAM, so after booting you can remove the boot stick - useful for machines with only 1 USB port - and I’ve not worked out how to do that with my own DIY live distro
Just thinking of ditching nextcloud and its just too much for my family use. All i needis carddav, caldav and file sync. Have a Debian VM running on Scale and was thinking of using Cloudron docker install. Is this the way others are installing on VMs?
Originally the ability to find specific files by name - Joplin was storing with filenames in(I forget exactly) date or serial number…
But, more importantly it was the dynamic bi-directional links that you can just type and creates a new page, and that page shows all the references pointing to it.
I use this for work, so each day’s journal has meetings with subjects… go to that subject’s page and there are all the meetings I had.
I recently learned about Home Assistant here on Lemmy. It looks like a replacement for Google Home, etc. However, it requires an entire hardware installation. Proprietary products just use a simple app to manage and control devices, so can someone explain why a pretty robust dedicated device is necessary as a replacement? The...
I think others have generally caught this, but I wanted to simplify the point: the apps on your phone are not controlling your home, a computer is. If you don’t use Google’s, then you’ll need to provide one.
My friends and family don't understand why I'm so happy with my air fryer notification.
