If you want the whole house, you’ll need to crack the box to get at the phase split as it comes in.

If you want to track individual circuits, you should be able to do it outside the box. It will work with single phase at least,but not sure about dual-phase; but those are usually reserved for heavy appliances like stoves and dryers.

You can get meters that clamp over the wire, no electrician required.

What in the AI generated advertising is this?

My home assistant is on an old laptop, so obviously it’s names HAL 9000.

Once you prize your son off helldivers, you should play helldivers.

In all seriousness, homarr now has some fledgling home assistant integration, and I saw a really slick showcase in the discord where someone was using home assistant pages in iframes (mobile view) within a overall homarr page (desktop view).

Breaking change!

Now I’ve got to update my dashboards with the new name and icon 😀

In short, the issue was that the battery blinds don’t alert when they are low battery, and he didn’t think to hard-wire them in advance.

Ones that are close enough to power, he’s run some 5v lines on an automation timer.

Best:

Network rack, unifi wifi, and cabling

Home assistant

Zigbee devices.

Smart heating/cooling

Automated lights

Hacked T6Es

Worst:

Batteried smart blinds (with not battery level reporting)

Bed mat sensors (some issues)

You can also just look and the model number of your rental and buy that.

I can do this on android 10.

To peer, or not to peer. That is the question.

Drivers and road design.

How do you figure? Red light cameras decrease frequency and severity of crashed at signalized intersections. https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R46552

There is some increase in rear ended, but those are much less severe than right angle or pedestrian collisions.

Cities adjusting the dilemma zone, or increasing speed limit; is a problem with revenue usage of red light cameras; and revenues should be going to victim funds. It also seems to be a uniquely USA problem? That could be a taxation and funding source issue.

I take argument with #5 as a concept.

My region is against speed and red light cameras out of freedom and privacy arguments; so people get slaughtered by cars instead.

Fine for selfhosting though.

I use my laptop server for babybuddy so I can take it with me. Then if I find there’s a service I really want I the go, it gets loaded there as well.

Correct, that would not work for that case.

So my thought with the time based pruning is that you can keep a backup that’s X days old.

Let’s say you keep 2 weeks. If there have been no problems with an image after 2 weeks of an update, you’re probably good to go. If you have an issue during those 2 weeks, you can return to and image within those 2 weeks. If you’ve had no problems after 2 weeks, it’s probably stable.

Adjust 2 weeks to whatever you’re comfortable with.

Not to my knowledge, but you can set up a cron job to prune containers older than X days.

Yeah absolutely, but tonyou as an individual , it’s the same net effect of your cloud backup is lost. Just re-up your local backup to a different cloud provider.

A data cloud backup loss should be fine, because it’s a backup. Just re-up your local backup to a new cloud/second physical location, that’s the whole point of two.

I don’t see a need to run two conccurent cloud backups.
