Yes! Let’s make this place feel like home 🙂

Those are very original!

How do you detect the zoomies?!?

I like to shop at https://cloudfree.shop/ when I can. Their pre-flashed Tasmota smart plugs are nice and support MQTT/fully local integrations.

Hi @[email protected]!

These are Zigbee, so they are entirely local as long as you control them with a control software such as Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA that doesn’t interact with the cloud.

I have some arbitrary temps in my system too. I also have our bed warmer automated to turn on each night, but only if it’s <=60 F outside.

I actually prefer the Xbox controller – the offset joysticks are more comfortable for my hands.

Unbelievable. Hopefully this drives more users to the fediverse.

No special addon. I use a Node-RED flow to query the Paperless-NGx API to find the number of documents with the “intake” tag. Here’s a template.

Instructions:

1. Create an API token for Paperless-NGx by going to http://<PAPERLESS_URL_WITH_PORT>/admin/authtoken/tokenproxy/ and clicking Add Token
2. Import the flow into Node-RED
3. Take the token you’ve created in step 1 and paste it over the <PAPERLESS_TOKEN> placeholder in the “Headers” function node
4. Change the URL in the “Make API Request” HTTP node to point towards your Paperless-NGx installation
5. Replace the debug node at the end with whatever you want. I personally use a Sensor node to import the value into Home Assistant.

That’s a great one! We have an automation like that too, though we sometimes wish we could remain blissfully ignorant that the laundry is done.

If you have a college or university near you, search online to see if they have a property disposition department.

I just got an HP Z2 SFF from my local university for $182. It has a Core i7-8700, 16 GB of RAM, and a 512GB NVME SSD.
