The fact that the ccc uses matrix as their official chat “app” doesn’t imply that it is inherently insecure I would say.

They even have a dedicated piece of hardware for it.

Look into vlan.

Basically allows you to have different subnets rubbing on a physical network card.

It is possible what you want to do and not that complicated.

Hmm, maybe. Depends on the infrastructure they put up. If there is a separate domain for the telemetry, then you can block it. Still no guarantee that it still works though.

The app will need internet access to login though. That really is a cat and mouse game that is not worth your time I’d say.

I regularly comments from users who were not aware or the financial situation. Maybe “we” need to promote it a bit more. But it is 332 per week, not month. At the beginning of the last migration it stood at 40 something, so we at least got some traction.

Thanks for the update and thanks for the work guys, I really appreciate it

Reolink ist the way to go. I think only the battery powered ones don’t have onvif. Otherwise the poe cameras all support onvif and are generally of very good quality. Plug it in and of you go. EDIT: Forgot to mention: You can configure the camera via the web interface, so no need for an app. I’m using the 820 at the moment, but I’m planning to get the new trackmix camera, these look really good.

Thanks. This definitely goes onto the pile of things I’ll build at the new house.

Nope, that doesn’t sound right.

I just tried all of your use cases and it works for me every time, HA in the foreground, background, closed; the command changes to the HA app and the right page.

One thing you should check: Android Settings, Apps, Special app access, Display over other apps, -> make sure home assistant is enabled here. If that doesn’t help I’m out of ideas and suggestions for the moment.

Not OP, but most people are using load sensors under the bed frame with an esp or raspberry.

I was curious about this so I tested it on my systems. Path refers to the part after your domain. So, if your settings page is available under https://homeassistant.mydomain.com/config/dashboard (check with your desktop or mobile browser to get the exact URL, then you would use “/config/dashboard” as your path setting. Same for any lovelace dashboard, check the URL in your browser, if it is https://homeassistant.mydomain.com/lovelace-mobile/0, then use “/lovelace-mobile/0” as the path argument. lovelace-mobile is the dashboard part, 0 corresponds to the tab.

Hope this helps!

Easiest route you could go is setup a systemd timer which runs every 5 mins, pings an ip and write the result into a logfile. that way you have a timestamp for the problem start without going all out with monitoring.

Good luck!

Since you’re not really sure what the issue is, check all the logfiles around the time the problem starts. maybe you’ll see a service stopping or starting.

This might not be applicable to your use case, but maybe it helps.

Couple of years ago I had a problem where ONE windows laptop was unable to access the internet. Sometimes it would work right away, sometimes it took 1 or 2 reboots, sometimes the damn thing wouldn’t budge.

lo and behold, it turns out the windows laptop was assigned a DHCP address that one linksys router had as a static ip. Why that resulted in a sporadic error and not a constant one I’ll never know.

So next time you have this issue, rip out the network cable from the server and try to ping the ip the server is supposed to have.

Other than that, check the journal if something start to pop up around the time you experience the problem.

catch two birds with one stone and make the spam about reddit alternatives.

Are you using groups with snapcast? Lat time I used it that was a major pain in the ass and made me switch to squeezebox.

Afair the groups were named on the fly and you couldn’t create static ones (downstairs, house for example)

EDIT: Found one of the threads and it is still open. https://github.com/badaix/snapcast/issues/308 Seems there is a workaround for home assistant, but that doesn’t look like it is really stable so to speak. I guess I’ll stick with squeezebox for now, the sync feature is good enough for me.
