Interesting. Thanks!

Any use for programming? Preferably local hosting only?

How is it feature wise? Parity with xmpp/matrix? Better?

Yep, lookup ollama

Rap mostly.

When programming however, Chill Lofi HipHop beats to study/relax to. Words distract.

It definitely did . So did New Vegas. I know I fired up New Vegas again.

Not everyone leaves their house I guess…

I apologize for the confusion.

It makes it so that the direction of the switch doesn’t matter. Flipping the switch toggles to the off or on state that it’s not currently in. I like to think of it as a three-way switch that you may already have in your house where up doesn’t necessarily mean ‘on’ because there are two switches involved. The relay in the wall is the other switch. So if you have the light on in home assistant but you flip the switch, it’ll turn the light off whether it was up or down. I hope I made more sense.

If my wifi goes out my switches function as normal too.

I love my Shelly relays. I don’t use the stock firmware though. I have them overwritten with ESPhome.

I have heard that you can have full local control with them now and that it’s not really necessary to do a custom firmware. I just like having a configuration file that tells me exactly everything that it can do. That and I have a script running that updates all my ESPhome devices automatically.

I wish, thread just isn’t there yet. I currently use Wi-Fi for most of my smart home stuff. I have a really good Wi-Fi setup though and it could support a lot of devices. I have been slowly moving to zigbee though.

I do in-wall relays so that I can use regular, off the shelf switches and it looks like nothing special is there. I like the idea of people not knowing it’s smart until I do something from my phone.

Thanks. I might have to watch that.

What am I missing? What is this movie?

I love the examples!

Huh, I thought brew was a Mac thing. Thanks for the link. I’ll give it some reading.

So, if I wanted to install zsh I would need to use a container for it?

Thanks for the input! I’ll look more into these

I agree with the foss alternatives part. FreeCAD isn’t great, but I’ve been loving ondsel lately which is a fork that improves the interface and even sends some pull requests to the upstream. 😊

How does installing apps work? I know you can use flatpak. But, what if it’s a cli app that you want to install that isn’t on flatpak?

A script to make it easy.
