Can’t say anything on unify, but what’s wrong with ZFS in the homelab, especially if you know it already? I use ZFS on my Proxmox hosts and my TrueNAS.

Networking looks fine, but check fail2ban as the other commenter mentioned, it goes to the npm.

Make sure to keep all internet facing applications up to date and use strong passwords.

Home Assistant has a great integration, ZHA, which “drives” the Zigbee device. So having the Zigbee dongle on the machine HA runs on is very common. In my case it’s a raspberry with a RaspBee dongle but every MINI PC will do. Recommended devices: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha#recommended-zigbee-radio-adapters-and-modules

The other common setup is using Zigbee2MQTT which allows different devices that communicate over LAN. it’s been the go to recommendation as it has some compatibility improvements for devices that don’t properly follow the Zigbee standard. ZHA is keeping up though and is natively supported by home assistant. I’m using ZHA and check for compatibility before buying devices.

You can theoretically switch later, but you’ll have to reconnect all devices which can be a hassle.

Not sure how that’s related to docker. It’s the prometheus setup which can be run natively just fine. Still needs an agent that actually retrieves info from the OS.

Certainly there’s “single executable” tools as well. I just don’t know them.

Yes. Prometheus isn’t standalone though, it requires agents on all target machines. The go-to is node exporter. It’s really flexible though and there’s agents for lots of different tools, you can monitor everything with it, but the initial setup isn’t suuper easy.

Both! Connecting Iot devices to your LAN is a security risk, since they sometimes carry malware. Many DDOS these days are performed by smart bulbs or the like. May even sniff in your network. Of course you can firewall them, but why bother with wifi at all then? Zigbee is pretty reliable and works even if your router goes down (you probably can’t access Home Assistant Web interface anymore, but zigbee light switches etc will still trigger zigbee bulbs, zigbee thermeters will still report their sensor values etc).

I’m a Zigbee user so I use that in the examples but I’m sure the other options are fine as well.

If you aren’t locked in yet, I’d recommend against WiFi devices. Check Zigbee or similar. It won’t clutter your LAN and is independent. You usually need some kind of central station for that but it’s worth it imho.

I’m using CamScanner, but I have to share every doc to paperless. Should have a look at an automatic ingest as well…

Yeah they are, they just seem to be the absolute optimistic minimum which applies if you barely put anything in.

Had a very annoying case where I checked it 20 minutes after the supposed end, came back after another 30 and it still said 20. Took over an extra hour eventually (it was super stuffed admittedly).

I think it’s the latter, not sure though. It’s a not ancient consumer one with A+++ rating though. (candy CST G372D-S)

It doesn’t do much, just display some seven segment duration timer and indicators for chosen rpm and temp. 1-2W should be sufficient I guess and it’s probably out of the plug’s accuracy range

The first one would help us as well since it sometimes doesn’t register the start properly (even though it makes a confining beep), but the idle wattage is measured as 0.0 so I can’t track it.

We don’t have a dryer

Damn. It’s Blitzwolf SHP15, any experience with those regarding spiking?

It’s rated for 16A which the machine doesn’t saturate, or do you mean the spiking?

That’s interesting! Currently waiting for more plugs, at least the dishwasher is gonna get monitored too

I don’t have notifications set up yet, but I certainly thought about it!

Edit: “consumption power changes” seems like a weird trigger though since it’s changing all the time while running - or is that further detailed and just not visible in the screenshot?

Can you see in the activity something fires at all?

I’ve been using this to set up my thermostats and it works quite well: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/advanced-heating-control/469873

My devices aren’t Internet connected at all. You could just have asked instead of going off on it.
