Beeper uses Matrix as it's backend. Love it!

Nothing wrong with that! Cool beans! I haven't tried either. My garage has too much stuff to hold a car so the door is rarely opened.

Did you use OpenGarage?

My washer/dryer has no smart functionality. I explained it here but I put a device in my breaker box with a clamp on the two lines and that just sends the current to Home Assistant. I read a bunch before I ever tried it and many people have put vibration sensors in/in their dryers. But, this way seems more reliable.

I did my laundry 3 hours faster than usual today because I actually knew when it was done. Worth it to me.

I agree with you on this. Lifetime licenses are great, but not feasible for some software. Anything that needs to be constantly updated needs steady income for developers. But, if their updates don't provide anything that you need then you should be able to keep using the version you are on for no additional money.

I was worried about drowning out my network with Wi-Fi devices but I don't want to invest in Z-Wave or Zigbee unless Thread falls through. Here's to hoping 🤞

I am using a Shelly EM to monitor the power usage of two circuits, One phase of the Dryer and the whole circuit for the Washing Machine. Monitoring only one phase of a two-phase circuit makes it inaccurate. But, I just did one phase because I only care to know if it's off or on.

I used ESPHome to add it to HomeAssistant and this guide to setup the automation.

I have been waiting on Thread/Matter to be bigger and more adopted before I buy most devices. Everything I use right now is on Wi-Fi (using ESPHome). But, I am in no rush. Just having fun slowly building it out. :)

That's honestly adorable. I love it!

I think it's a lot more intimidating than it is actually hard. You could get a Raspberry Pi, Alternative, or a Home Assistant Yellow. Then there guides that can get you going in minutes. It's actually a pretty good time with the latest update introducing better onboarding.

I am not trying to convince you. But, I don't want to see anyone scared out either.

Home Automation. It can be as simple as buying a hub and some devices. But, I went the self-hosted route using Home Assistant to give me more control of what it can do.

I have some automations that turn on a certain set of lights on when the sun sets and off when it rises. It's pretty simple, but saves electricity because I used to leave my front porch light on 24/7.

I just set up an automation last night that sends me a discord notification when the laundry machine finishes and the same for the dryer. I can't hear the beeping because I am always too far from the laundry room. This one has me so excited!

I've seen people automate gardens which seems really neat. Really, your only limit is your imagination. I also just really like having an app on my phone to toggle power to random lights and fans around my house. It helps me get out of bed because I can turn the fan off when I'm cold in bed.

Wow, that's what cooler than I ever would have thought. Thanks for sharing!

I know I've looked at it before. But now I can't find it either. Maybe it was changed?

Probably, but you can also view all edits. Lemmy is very open to history of files.

There is on the website. If you are on a mobile you might not.

Yes

I hear you. But, the specific soldering task for this is really simple. You could watch a YouTube video and have this specific task done really fast.

Can you explain the differences between the license like I'm five?

Does OtterBox make cases for Fairphone?

Or un-naturally selected? 🤔
