Well, it's about time I got started on my latest self-hosted project: Home Assistant. Luckily, I've had an RPi 4 for a while now, so I'm saving myself the money these gadgets cost these days.
First stop: automating the lighting system.
Next stop: smart irrigation system.

I just set up a hardware watchdog on YunoHost to monitor my connectivity using the watchdog systemd service. If I can't ping 8.8.8.8 for 30 minutes, it'll trigger a reboot.
I've been having issues where my RPi4 server suddenly lost the internet connection... I disabled EEE, which hopefully fixed that, but having some extra security like this probably won't hurt.

I ended up getting Vikunja installed locally and it will probably take the place of Planka, which has some weird proxy issue I can’t easily work around. Vikunja also has more features, some of which Planka was specifically lacking.
