It might not be original quality, but this should be fairly straightforward with a tunnel or VPN connection to your parent’s house. You’d also lose quality in having a WiFi camera instead of wired.

You don’t have backups set up in Proxmox?

I believe there’s a throttle node in node-red to only let the flow continue once in a settable amount of time. I use it to keep security camera motion notifications at bay.

Well, I’m quite happy with the timing on purchasing a pair of ratgdos for my two openers. I’d highly recommend for anyone looking for local only control without the myQ bullshit.

Even with the extra cost of shipping to Canada, they’re still worth it.

Ok, a bit more digging and here’s what I’ve found. It seems perhaps I can be of assistance.

• This guy has set up those Arylic Up2streams with the LinkPlay integration in HA, which looks to accomplish what you’re looking for.
• Another viable HA integration looks to be Music Assistant, but the video makes it seem like it might be a bit clunky. Also looks like Apple music might not be an option.

Either way, looks like LinkPlay or Music Assistant can do the work of Snapcast or balenaSound, but within HA, so no additional containers needed. Likely can avoid the Arylic app that way too if you go with those devices.

My wife says no more toys at the moment, but if I were to implement this, I’d probably pick up one of those Up2Streams for each room and try out the LinkPlay integration.

I don’t think the hole ever has a bottom 😁. USB pass through is relatively straightforward, just took some searching as I was very new at Proxmox and most things Linux.

The Arylic stuff looks promising if it can be local-only. It seems there’s a proprietary app, but I’ll continue to research that as well.

Just came across this device while rooting around for HA compatible solutions. Looks to be have lots of connectivity options. Might be a potential less wired option for your setup

Have also seen Volumio mentioned a couple times.

Wow, thanks for the detailed information! Hopefully you can get some direction that helps with your solution. For me, it’s starting to sound like OpenBalena might work. I’ve got an old PC running Proxmox for my services with HAOS in a VM and working great. If you go with that, you’ll just have to configure USB pass through for a ZigBee receiver and any other hardware.

I am of no help, but you’ve opened yet another rabbit hole for me to plunge into.

I’ve got two 820As and tried getting them to work with frigate with no success. I am a bit of a Linux noob, so I’m sure I could have tweaked some more, but I instead tried out Blue Iris and they worked without issue. I’ve now got AI detection and motion alerts going to my phone through home assistant and they were fairly straightforward to set up.

Interesting. Maybe try adding that grid-template-columns line and maybe it’ll force the width and get them to spread out? Only other thing would be try clearing browser cache if you haven’t already.

Did you modify the yaml before it started doing this? Kind of looks like perhaps an incorrect value on a column number or width line of the grid layout card.

For example, I have the following at the top of my mobile dashboard to force one column and a certain width (though it’d probably default to this anyway).

title: Mobile views:

• title: Home type: custom:grid-layout layout: max_cols: 1 grid-template-columns: 350px’

1. It should be able to handle that threshold, I’ve got similar ones in my bathrooms and it gets over them without issue.
2. I haven’t experimented with multiple floors, but it shouldn’t be an issue. The in-app FAQ says it’ll create a different map per floor, so you’d just select that map to start it on a different floor. I’d imagine it’d notify you when done or full and you’d have to return it to the base station. It also has edge detection and doesn’t fall down stairs.
3. Unfortunately, I inadvertently updated my firmware before digging into Valetudo where they recommend not updating. I was going to join their telegram to see if it’s still possible. The site says rooting is straightforward, but their telegram would probably be the best place to get assistance.

I just ordered a pair of the ratgdo devices for full, local-only control. Ratgdo also allows control of the lights separaely, so I’m going to automate the light turning on when someone goes into the garage.

I have Blue Iris NVR with Reolink cameras. A bit of tweaking, but it was easy to follow tutorials online and they integrate into HA nicely. Blue Iris isn’t free, but I couldn’t get Frigate to work and don’t have the background to troubleshoot it very well. I’d say it’s worth the cost, though.

I’ve made an automation that uses sun azimuth as the trigger (window is otherwise shaded), with outside temperature and cloud cover conditions so it’ll stay open if it’s cloudy or cool outside. You could add cloud cover triggers to activate while the sun is in the azimuth range to open the blind if it goes from sunny to cloudy too. Toggling the light can be an action alongside the blind.

I use the met.no integration for temperature and cloud cover entities.

I had more success with using my energy monitor sensors than my inverter ones. My inverter (SolarEdge) seemed to have a fairly low refresh rate, and there’s also no information on power use.

I have a Sense energy monitor that has real time measurements and instead use that for my dashboard production and usage graph.
