From what I understand (probably wrong) but you can get it to work, but it requires passing the device through. Sort of like in a docker container.

It took me 3 weeks to backup my 2TB of data.

Yep, you’re right. I’m watching my ISP upgrade their cable to docsis 4.0 which will allow for 2g down 1g up. Instead of the garbage 1g down 40mbps up I have now. That upload speed is chaffing.

But I’m looking for a new toy like this because my current router is only 1g.

Is there a 2.5 gigabit version?

It sounds like you’re describing Home Assistant? HA has a ton of integrations into a lot of self-hosted services not just IoT devices.

Any cam with an rtsp stream is fine. Host frigate on your server point it to the cams you can get audio and video and object detection pretty easily. I also recommend taking an extra step and creating a firewall rule to block the cams’ inbound/outbound internet traffic.

Still sounds easier than getting my roborock on valetudo. I had to take the entire thing apart to get to the other side of the mobo to flash the thing. Felt like I needed 3 hands to ground one place while doing a bunch of other things just to get it to flash. My workspace was a mess of screws and tiny robot parts I only half remembered taking out.

In the end it worked and I’m very happy with it. Was sweating for a bit though. It was a $400 vacuum iirc.

Its fine. It’s what I use when listening to music on my tv. But on my phone I use navidrome/ultrasonic. I love navidrome, ultrasonic is fine.

Good to know, thanks.

I use Pingvin. You upload a file to it and it generates a link. Has expiration on the link.

You can allow anonymous uploads or not, give friends logins etc.

I have it locked down to just me with a login and I use it to let others download the files.

You’re going to hampered in your choices by the lack of wires. You have an old 2 wire setup. Most nowadays want 3. Some can handle 2 wires, look for thermostats that don’t need a “c wire” or “control wire”.

No, but I have a Honeywell T10. It connects via wifi and HA via HomeKit. I also added it to a firewall list blocking it from accessing the internet.

Works great!

Did you create your own docker container, or did you use the official one?

I have the official one up and running, voice and video chat work out of the box.

Looks like most of their services are also foss. Says their cloud service is powered by nextcloud, and pad is powered by Etherpad, upload by Lufi, etc. So, OP could probably just self-host most of these really easily. Hardest one would probably be email. That’s a whole 'nother beast for most. Especially since most residential IPs are blacklisted. You almoat always need to cloud-host that.

My cloud-hosting knowledge is a bit dated, bit I bet there are webhosting places that do the email bit for you, you juat pay the monthly fee to use their auto-gen instance of mailcow or whatever.

I’ve had issues like this before too. Mine was with the api password. You have to enable api access in settings->authentication->allow api access

then reset the api password (sometimes takes a few saves to stick for some reason).

I have one where I put a door/window sensor on a window and anytime that window is opened it turns off the HVAC, then when closed, turns it back on.

I tried once to setup a notification to open the windows if the weather was nice, but I’d never gotten to work quite like I wanted, and so I turned it off.

looks like these are the rechargable version.

You can buy rechargable coin batteries.

This was my first thought too.
