I probably won’t be going for commercial use, just hobby stuff mainly. It would be neat to do some nylon stuff but that’s probably as crazy as I’d get.
But yes, ideally my budget is $450-1200 (wide I know, but I’d like to explore my options).
Do you know how well the auto leveling works?
What does your mount look like for that nozzle cam?
That was the best part, it was like no humans were in the building for a bit there.
Can you share your redacted frigate config?
This thread on the inovelli forums has the wiring you need to do, but you can directly associate z-wave bulbs with the z-wave dimmer. I have the inovelli blue dimmers, and do exactly that (except with Zigbee, easier to find the lights for those though)
And this site has z-wave devices, you can probably find compatible bulbs there.
What a daddy.
Yeah. My solution is to do the negotiation on my microtik switch. Basically I input 10G to the switch from the router, and then use the switch to change the speed of the connection.
I do admit I am graced by low power costs due to hydro, and if that wasn’t the case I probably wouldn’t have done it.
So, sort of along the same vein. I recently wanted to build a cheap 10G router. I found this SuperMicro X10SLH-N6-ST031 on ebay with 6x 10G RJ45 on it (they don’t do auto negotiation, and only run in either 1G or 10G) for roughly $60. This specific seller gave me a compatible CPU for free, already in the mobo. Of note, this motherboard is slightly longer than a micro-ATX motherboard, but still smaller than a full sized ATX board. Knowing this, I went for the safest option of finding a case that was compatible with both micro and full ATX. I ended up going with a Silvertone GD09B HTPC chassis.
After finding that, I wanted to make sure I could update the BIOS to include patches for Spectre and Meltdown. Lucky for me, users at servethehome already did this! The modded BIOS also enabled NVMe support. There’s also a lot of great info about this board and related projects in that thread.
It works perfectly for my use case. I think with the NICs, it runs at about 100W idle. More than a normal switch, but cheaper for the hardware at least compared to other 10G switches. Might be worth considering!
Is there an advantage with Apexcharts as opposed to using Grafana and embedding the graphs that way?
Yep. It’s insane every time Jassy says that it’s to increase productivity. It’s so insane that he’s stopped saying that at this point, and now basically says it’s “because I made the call, and you have to follow it”. Amazon claims that they are a data driven, “Day 1” company, but clearly this is not the case anymore, if they ever were.
Fair, but you could just donate instead, no?
Is there any benefit for using this as opposed to a normal standalone host?
It sure does read that way…
Sure! I have three, in different spots in different gardens. I do find them to be pretty darn accurate, especially if you calibrate them like the instructions say. I don’t have anything to compare them to, but their data makes pretty graphs in home assistant and their backend.
Hey there, I have an Ecowitt system. I use it to tell me when to close the curtains based on sunlight, use it to tell me when to open or close the windows, and I also have some of their soil moisture sensors in my garden to tell me when to water. I plan on expanding that last one to an automatic irrigation system!
The one catch is that you’ll want to lock it down on Ecowitt’s site, otherwise other people can see your sensors.
Lower Decks is so good, much deserved.
At least on Android, you can make TTS go through your alarm channel on your phone at max volume, to really make sure you don’t miss it. I do this for my alarm and doorbell (only when I’m at home).
