The number of appliances that have an app is fucking insane. I’m sorry, but I don’t need my oven to have internet connectivity. We got by just fine before.
HomeAssistant for the win! Not everything needs to be connected but for those things I would like to control I want CONTROL. So only my server (not even the nubucasa servers) control it!
Big difference between “smart home stuff” and stuff compatible with home assistant. You host home assistant yourself on your own hardware and everything is connected in one interface. You only need one app, or one webpage. No shady actors get access to your home, you control everything.
Give it a few years and home assistant will have ai built in, mandatory telemetry, be coded with ai, and have a bunch of angry nerds arguing about every update and censoring everyone they disagree with.
No
I choose to believe in a brighter future
Apache license, source on Github. If they piss off their users, someone will fork it.
Go touch some grass and smell some flowers. Spring is finally here
I want/need to switch over from Google home to home assistant . So, how difficult would it be to migrate over? We mostly have smart plugs and a Google nest thermostat.
Is a raspberry pi adequate for this, or do I need a mini pc?
It will automatically adopt almost everything. A raspberry pi is ok, but I would recommend a PC depending on how many things you have.
Oh nice! Okay, thanks!
Don’t forget the gun by the printer, you know just in case.
Are you an idiot?
Never have a gun within reach of the printer. Do you want to die?
PC LOAD CHAMBER, fuck around and find out what that means
A couple months ago, my dishwasher stopped working. When the tech showed up to look at it, he said it may need a software update. He then unscrewed the toe plate, plugged a wifi hotspot into the newly revealed network jack, and let the update happen.
I was shocked, and a little alarmed, that my dishwasher even had software to update. Its entire control panel is six buttons, some status LEDs and an LED timer.
Me too. And no Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, HBO, … just good old Torrent.
IT professional here.
Yup.
Everything is hardwired with multiple layers of security. Everything even remotely personal is on encrypted hard drives. No Alexa/Google. Made sure the smart TV and smartphones (no Apple, vanilla Android) have all data sharing disabled. And I drive a 1999 vehicle that doesn’t make me jump through any hoops.
There’s a fine line between technology making things better and making things worse. We’re definitely starting to drift into the making things worse era.
I have a couple of online things that I find useful, but they have their own network
Don’t work in IT but, I do all of them
Should I have my own router? I’m honestly rocking the fritzbox my ISP gave me like a normie. am i cooked
Fritzbox is quite good but you should probably turn off the remote management. Some ISPs have it enabled by default for support purposes.
