Any docker solution to control smart light bulb? (lemmy.world)

I own a couple TP-Link Tapo Wi-fi light bulbs. Currently, each family member installs an app on the phone to control the light bulbs. I wonder if there's a way to do the same but in a browser (via docker app on my NAS). And because we may use smart devices of other brands in the future, it seems too much trouble to install yet another app on each phone.

HAOS is a managed operating system, which is perfect for people who want to automate their home but don’t want to manage a Linux machine. It’s a little wild to me to see a person in this community advocating a managed OS. Like, what are we even doing here??

I killed HAOS and set it up in docker because it was phoning home a lot. Sometimes there were hundreds of dns queries a minute to HA servers. No thanks.

Haha! I feel like I got a little roasted and have some learning to do, but this hobby is all good fun.

I'm definitely not hating on docker. I use it for dozens of containers across several machines and love how easy it is, and even some of the fights we've had. If that works for people's needs, awesome!

I really wish I remembered what the error was. It's been bugging me all day. Maybe it's not a thing anymore.

Ha, I roasted you for having the good sense to let somebody else handle some of this stuff for you.

Nobody in crazy rabbit hole club is allowed to do anything the easy way!!
