Okay, a bit more on the #thermalPaper printing front, in case you enjoyed my #ToyCamera tootz and pics.
I received the cheap printer ($12) I wanted to play with. It's like the toy camera, but without the camera part. You can send things from your phone - text and images. Fun.
The app, which I'm honestly not wild to put in my phone, has a good range of darkness settings, which is nice for making the ancient blue thermal paper work. Liking that!
I've seen some references online to a python app that'll work with such printers. Eager to play with that. Would be fun to have #HomeAssistant print out a weather forecast each morning or something.

It seems to have gone well. I had to rename a couple of sensors, most people won't have to do that and update my config.yaml fine as I had some calculations going in there.
Got my Chipolo ONE Point! First impressions: yep, it’s a little Bluetooth item tracker. 😁
Interestingly, it has a button just like the standard Chipolo ONE, but it doesn’t do anything after the initial pairing. No ring-your-phone feature or anything… I wonder if that’s something Google will add to the Find My Device network/spec later? Not a big deal, I almost exclusively trigger that accidentally on my Tiles. 😅
Anyone using #Mealie and #HomeAssistant?
I've spent some time creating an integration that mirrors the shopping lists and also creates a read-only calendar of the meal plan. Beta so things may break but if anyone wants to try it feedback is most appreciated.
Spend some time updating the #zigbee2mqtt herdsman-converters three of my rather esoteric light fixtures use (and which broke after a z2m update about two months back and I just hadn't found the time yet).
#SmartHome is like a constantly changing model railway, but with the added benefit of impacting your day-to-day!
I have two choices to run Home Assistant on my future #Pi5. With HAOS and as a Docker container. My idea was initially HAOS, but the Pi5 will be equipped with an SSD, have 8GB and may be able to take on other tasks. That's why a OS Lite 64 bit might be more flexible. Are there any major advantages to HAOS (apart from being efficient with resources)?
Ok, ich habe mich entschieden. Home Assistant kommt auf einen Raspberry Pi 5 (8GB) mit 256GB M.2 SSD. Argon Expansion Board und Gehäuse (diesmal nicht selbst gedruckt).
Ich möchte doch gerne mehr auf die dedizierte Lösung setzen. Das Synology NAS ist aus dem Support raus und ich möchte es etwas mehr aus dem Blickfeld des wilden Internets nehmen.
Seid heute ist mein #apsystems nicht mehr erreichbar. Es sieht so aus, als hätte es sich die Firmware aktualisiert und dabei vergessen die lokale API wieder zu aktivieren. Habe mich per Bluetooth verbunden und das korrigiert. Die Fritzbox zeigt das Gerät an, dennoch komme ich nicht mit Postman auf die API und natürlich kann sich #Homeassistant auch nicht verbinden. Hat das Problem noch jemand? Bitte boosten…
Today I fougt with #homeassistant 'browser mod' because I wanted to redirect the sound from #musicassistant to ... a browser.
I lost.
While it works on Amazon FireHD & FKB browser, it doesn't in Win&Chrome combo.
I've got this #ESP32 WROOM Opensmart board, works fine with #HomeAssistant. That is until I put any kind of ultrasound sensor on its power rails, and then the wifi doesn't work (5V) or it stalls the micro (3V3). Ah, you think, dud board. So I try a Pico W. Wifi works, but ultrasound doesn't (3V3). I have 3 different types of SR04-ish sensors and a bunch of MaxSonars. I have 3 ESP32's and 2 Pico W's. The sensors work on Arduinos. What am I missing?
