    Nope. The search order asked for all the usual telecom info (see Attachment A), but Signal doesn't retain most of that data, so all they were able to provide were registration date and last seen date.

    I use Jellyfin as a backend for my Kodi boxes (I have 3, and JF keeps them in sync). I used to have a YouTube plugin, but YT broke that this year.

    Personally, I use Kodi for that. It works very well with minimal keyboard and no mouse (though it can handle both), so much so that I've run it for years using only an IR remote.

    Those are kinda what I mentioned originally. The first is for roller shades, the second for curtains. They're good at what they do, but that's not blinds.

    I'm fine with them being battery powered. The nice thing about having a window right there is that it can have a small solar panel up high to recharge if needed.

    I've got several sensors and even a deadbolt that run on battery, and they go for over a year before needing a replacement.

  • I've got some decent window blinds at my house (tilt as well as roll-up and -down), but I didn't want to shell out another couple hundred per-window to make them "smart", let alone being tied to a cloud service that could spontaneous combust any day now... I've done numerous searches, but have not found anything decent that I could use to retrofit to add any sort of automation to these blinds. The best I could find were purpose-built and/or roller shades. Is anyone here aware of any projects or products that can be added to a set of blinds to locally automate any of their features? I'm running latest stable Home Assistant in a container, with HACS, if that helps. TIA!

    Does your August lock allow multiple codes? I've got a Quickset keypad deadbolt that does, and that allowed me to set a code I gave my neighbor, and the lock reports which code was used. If yours does something similar, you can give kiddo a separate code, then when that code gets used after school, the house does the needful. No key to lose or tag to track that way.

    I use ssmtp as well for a simple sendmail replacement. It takes over the sendmail command, doesn't open any ports. You configure it for the domain you want and tell it what server to send everything to and it works.

    True, but SQLite is not recommended in production settings, and is quite often the source of Nextcloud slowdowns, in my experience. A dedicated DB is the first thing I recommend for a production Nextcloud instance.

    Oh and to be clear, in this instance, "production" means "people depend on this", be that your family group, team/department, fraternal order, church group, etc. as opposed to "I'm just playing with this thing."

    Slackware 1.2, because it came on a CD in the back of a fat paperback manual I got at Barnes and Noble. It was only later that I learned what a distro is.

    Currently on Fedora with a Frankenstein desktop of my own concoction.

    This is how my partner and I do our notifications. We've got "him", "her", and "us", depending on who needs the notification. Whenever either of us gets a new device, I add it to either of our groups and then works.

    It's more because they provide an ONVIF interface or an RTSP stream that makes them self-hosting darlings. Them being Chinese white-labels and cheap is mainly a side-bonus.

    What are your recommendations if not them?

    Wait, you object to their feely-distributable firmware updates? Seriously? Without those, your CPU is vulnerable to exploits and known hacks.

    From what I've seen from running it the last year or so, yes, most Z2M releases add/change a large number of things. I use the Docker container, and I backup my mapped data directory between releases, but I have had no release related issues. Sometimes new items or features appear in Homeassistant, but it has always worked for me.

    I agree that it is awesome to use Kodi as a Jellyfin front end. I use some CoreElec ARM boxes that directly support all the codecs I use. My problem is that the Jellyfin plugin only updates content at startup, so I have to restart Kodi before it picks up changes made since the last restart. I've asked around and either no one else is having the issue or they didn't chime in.

  • I started using Jellyfin a few years ago as a shared backend for my Kodi boxes (CoreElec mostly but not exclusively). I use the Jellyfin plugin for Kodi, installed from the Jellyfin repo as per official instructions. I've stuck to defaults/recommendations in the plugin. I did this for the WAF (wife approval factor), because otherwise *none* of my family ever used it. Now I get a shared watchlist and can stop on one TV and resume on another. I've been running into a problem, and after extensive troubleshooting, I'm at a loss and asking for help. The Kodi boxes do not pick up new content when it hits my server, which happens fairly regularly as I am ripping my disc collection into a format that Kodi (and the little Arm boxes) support natively. Unless I restart Kodi or the Jellyfin plugin every day or so, they do not see any new files uploaded since their last restart and if it goes long enough, even watched status falls out of sync and I have to go through the lengthy process of resyncing that entire library. If I restart my Jellyfin service, every Kodi box immediately reconnects within a minute but still nothing syncs unless I restart the client. Is this a known issue (Google is pretty useless in this regard)? Is there an option I can change somewhere to force the check-in to sync on a schedule? Is there another plugin that would work and still show content "normally" in the libraries, as opposed to going into another screen? Or does everyone use the Jellyfin web frame client? Thanks.
