Smart Home Junkie's method worked perfect! And it was quite easy and quick. Thanks for the referemce @paf@jlai.lu!

I forgot to mention that I had also renamed one of my automations in the hope that I'd be able to find the original name in my log files when whatever was trying to turn it off could no longer turn it off. But I can't find anything in the log files containing the original name.

This is really confusing to me. The History list shows when this automation was turned on and turned off (turned on means enabled, turned off means disabled) but the Logbook list doesn't show anything for this automation at the datetime it was enabled (it does show me manually disabling the automation, though).

I searched for the automation's name (e.g., automation.my_automation) in every file in HA's confg directory and there are no occurrences. I also searched for the automation's ID (e.g., 1623421375007) in every file in HA's confg directory the only occurrence is in the Automations.yaml file where the automation is defined. I also searched for automation.turn_on and automation.turn_off in every file in HA's confg directory and there are no occurrences.

This seems strange: when I click on the "On" or "Off" bar in the History list for this automation and the details for the automation pop-up (screenshots below), and I then click "Related", the section that says "Part of the following automations" lists about half of my automations, but none of them have anything to do with this automation.

Thanks!

What about an approach where there's a website to facilitate people donating to FOSS project, and all that website needs is a list of possible recipients of the FOSS project (e.g., app developers, libraries it uses). When I want to donate I go to this website and say "I want to donate to Lemmy", and it shows me "Lemmy has these possible recipients: X, Y, ...". When I say "I want to donate $10" the website asks "should we distribute this evenly among all Lemmy recipients?" (which might be the default) or I have the option of unchecking some recipients or or assigning some recipients a higher percentage of my donation.

That looks gorgeous!

I finally got around to this and jailbreaking the iPad was as easy as you suggested. Thanks, @Aatube@kbin.social!

But I don't see how to install a newer browser. Cydia and Zebra seem to be able to install themes and tweaks. How would I get them to install Firefox or Chrome? Also, how would I install linux on the ipad?

I'll try to look into this. Thanks.

This sounds like it wouldn't help much, and whatever increase in volume might be offest by decrease in quality due to echo. But it's free to try (and within my skill set :) ).

This sounds cool, but beyond my skill set. I might be able to re-qire the speaker wire to something else (possibly not if soldering is required), but I don't even understand what a "shutdown pin" is or what it does.

Thanks for the explanation and example, @CondorWonder@lemmy.ca.

I used Studio Code Server to search all files for "Automation: Turn Off" and "automation.turn_off" and "automation" - there were 100s (1000s?) of results. I scanned through them and didn't see anything that looks like it was enabling these automations. And that's the only record in my logbook around these automations being disabled.

So now I've renamed some of my automations and re-disabled them. In a few days they'll either become enabled or I'll search my logs for errors including their previous names.

Thanks for the assitance, @brainstorm@feddit.de.

One of my automations that was disabled but is now enabled has turned off triggered by service Automation: Turn off about a week ago in the Logbook. What does "turned off" mean for an automation?

And in History it looks like this:

What part of this information is usable to search for what triggered the automation to be re-enabled?

I recently installed TrueNAS on a box with Proxmox, following these instructions. It allows the box to be your NAS and run anything else as a VM (so NextCloud, Grocy/KitchenOwl, etc., even your VPN).

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll try it.

Photostructure is a strong starter, but development is slow and it's still missing important features like sharing. Also, it's not ooen source.

Immich seems great but doesn't (yet) support digikam tags ( and since my 100,000 assets are tagged/organized via digikam, I don't want to move to immich yet and have to start over).

PhotoPrism seemed pretty good, though it also doesn't (yet) support digikam tags. Also, their self-hosted version doesn't have all the features of their paid versions.

Thanks for the suggestions, but you don't sound too optimistic about them they they're beyond my skill set anyway (except possibly jailbreaking).

Thanks. I'll check it out.

Thanks for the resources. I'll check them out.

I tried all the downloadable browsers. None work in this iOS. :(
