A big advantage of home automation / #homeassistant is that you can remotely mess up and accidentally defrost your fridge because somehow the smart plug it is connected to is turned off while applying a software update. Bonus points for doing so while away for multiple weeks. Ask me how I know.
I’ll have to write an automation that sends me a notification when the plug is turned of…

Migrated the Docker server over to Debian to match the other VMs. Scary, but not too horrible. Also, moving Docker volumes is a pain in the ass.

A fairly handy new app just released: #Aivi. It allows you to create iOS live activities that can be controlled via REST, for example via #HomeAssistant. Downsides: proprietary and another subscription, but at least it’s from some guy in Sweden, not a big company or shady startup. Will probably…

I'm planning to set up a music room for $SPOUSE. Neither of us are audiophiles.
Looking for recommendations for amps that support Airplay, and work well with #HomeAssistant.
Must haves:
- local control - I don't want something that will have issues if its mothership turns off servers, or even just because my internet is out.
- AirPlay support
- Works well with Home Assistant
- Supports unpowered speakers
- Doesn't require an app to configure it
Nice to have
- Streaming support
- IOS app for control
Also looking for disrecommendations for stuff that doesn't work well with HA.

After looking at what hostnames I'm using on my LAN, I realized it's a pretty basic setup. What are some good setups or recommendations for setting/using hostnames in a #linux home #LAN with a #homelab

the local music venue and gathering spot (ex church) is packed tonight to listen to some homegrown talent who was recently rewarded with a dream gig taking a spot in BTO beside fellow Vancouver Islander Randy Bachman.
He just finished his first tour of North America with the band.
Lance was in my grad class in 1995. Played bass in band. He has his own music releases as well which apparebtly have now found new life too.
He's good people. So happy for him. Wish I could be in there rockin' with him. 🎸 🤘
Support your local school music program people! ❤️
look for campfireLance on Insta if you're there.

Finally managed to hook my #GoogleNest in #HomeAssistant.
If you are in the same situation, remember to remove *all* Google credentials first. Home Assistant doesn't allow org accounts, only regular ones. I had Google Drive with my main account, which is in my own org.

Regular people out there *accumulating wealth* by simply owning a home. Such travesty. 🙄
