Any other Home Assistant users migrating over from Reddit with all the api BS that's going on? If so, what's your current project? Mine is to convert my Docker instance over to HAOS.

Yeah, Reddit native app is crap.

Not a project but I'm currently adding my TV as a device and play around with casting media.

Ha, doing the same thing right now. Both the Reddit and converting from Docker to Home Assistant OS part.

Bought an Odroid-M1 that's waiting just for this. Currently using a Pi 4 with Docker.

Haha. Great Minds, I guess. I'm trying to switch TO an RPI4. I love the docker version, but I want better uptime and addons. Eventually, I want to move to a Yellow, but the CM4s are still so hard to find at the moment. Just ordered a SkyConnect too. Gotta see how that shakes out.

I got HAOS installed on the RPI4, but the thing won't connect to my network for some reason. Using POE an due need to troubleshoot.

Finally fixed this. It turns out hassos won't boot from a hard drive when you have it plugged into the 3.0 ports.

My current project is an ESP-based irrigation system for the garden. But I am still reading up on solenoid vavlves and havent bought any hardware yet.

I'm here from reddit as well.

Over the past couple days I've been working on getting my Amcrest cameras working and displaying on the dashboard along with general tinkering like adding Adaptive Lighting to test out.

I'd like to dig deeper into custom dashboards but it's a steep learning curve and I've gotten overwhelmed and discouraged each time I've tried it. I wish they would create a theme store or way to import other people dashboards so that you can just add your own entities and you're good to go.

Yes, came over from reddit. Spinning up my own Lemmy to contribute something to the Fediverse, and trying to set up monitors for it.

Yep, the second Sync stopped working I stopped visiting. As for projects my current long-term one is working on getting away from a RasPi + docker setup to either a bare metal or proxmox with HAOS. For my short term I'm working on modifying the chore tracker by u/maceinjar on Reddit to allow you to switch from an interval of days to hours, and enabling recurrence based on the due date, not the completed date.

Still trying. Got mixed feelings though.

My current project is to improve my dashboard UI and also fix Tuya connection problems.

Not the first time I've have to leave somewhere (digg 2.0), but this is different and new to me.

My current project is to fix my VPN network so I can re-expose my network.

Yep, deleted Relay earlier this week and have been exploring here. Don't really miss it although a bit interested in the drama and if Reddit will have any true ramifications. I was there for the Digg to Reddit exodus and this feels very similar.

My next project is to get my entity naming fixed and consistent. I've not started yet and I'm not even sure what the right approach long term approach is....

[–] CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

If it's any help I typically name things by Company > Location > Function like Aqara bedroom light switch or WLED coffee table

Not sure if this is the best approach either but with 50+ devices and countless entities, its going okay so far.

Just did that and came over to lemmy. One of my current projects is to integrate an rss news feed so that my piper tts engine can give me the news everytime I ask

Yea I just checked whether this community might exist and here it is. I don't have any current big project. Just running my homeasistant yellow pretty happily.
