  • IKEA has its own hub. I used to have the old Tradfri one but now I just connect with a Sonoff Zigbee dongle. I think if you want to go through Google and then to Home Assistant you might need the Dirigera hub which is kinda pricey. My personal preference is to have as little as possible connect through the internet. I just want everything local.



  • I have something similar, a helper called ‘Awake Mode’ and a helper called ‘Night mode’ (for some automations I need something to be true not to happen).

    With a shortcut button on the door in the bedroom I can activate Sleepy mode and on weekdays, it also activates on my wife’s alarm.

    A lot of my automations have the condition that Awake mode needs to be on our nothing happens.










  • Not that I have a horse in this fight, but how many migrants don’t pass these border guards and live in houses completely undocumented and unbeknownst to the US government? It’s difficult to get stats on things you don’t know.

    In any event, nobody is illegal and there is no world where any kind of violence or threatening of livelihood is warranted.

    Containerized software. The main advantage of this is that every application, or stack of applications, runs in its own ecosystem. You can restart a container whenever without having to reboot your entire system. You can store all data off a container in a volume, so if you hit a snag, you can recreate the container without actually losing any of your configs.

    You can also create networks so that apps run in different subnets than other apps.

    Very simply put, a docker container is like a mini system that runs on your main system.

    Something else I like about docker is docker compose. You can create a container or stack of containers with a single simple YAML file without actually having to install anything yourself. I manage my containers in Portainer.
