Thank you for the info! I'm guessing that I could use a mini PC with a zigbee adapter to create my own dashboards or bridge to home assistant, unless zigbee hubs offer similar capabilities

I'm planning on assembling and coding w/e needs coding on microcontrollers, and a mini PC/HA hardware won't be connected to the cloud. But generally speaking yes: most IoT devices in the US connect to someone else's computer these daya

Will do. Is it more for security purposes? Reliability?

That's interesting, I'll have to read more about mine. I think I purposefully bought the "dumbest" option but will need to experiment with it just like you did

That's a good point. This can help me with things like adding a DNS server (I'm assuming pi-hole can be run standalone on a mini PC)

Thanks. I thought the already thought out protocols and configurations would make it easier to program the micro controllers to plug in with that rather than building something on my own

My AC is offline, I was thinking I'd just put an infra red LED on a microcontroller in front of it 😅

 

I'm planning to build several WiFi connected devices for home automation: an AC remote control and air quality sensors. These devices would send data and be controlled through a local server. I'm considering two approaches: running custom software on a server PC (hardware to be determined) or integrating with Home Assistant's protocols and purchasing their hardware. Would using Home Assistant be excessive for this use case?

91.151 Fuel requirements for flight in VFR conditions.

(a) No person may begin a flight in an airplane under VFR conditions unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed—

(1) During the day, to fly after that for at least 30 minutes; or

(2) At night, to fly after that for at least 45 minutes.

(b) No person may begin a flight in a rotorcraft under VFR conditions unless (considering wind and forecast weather conditions) there is enough fuel to fly to the first point of intended landing and, assuming normal cruising speed, to fly after that for at least 20 minutes.

We need a Peektube to accompany it

But then those devices would be harder to manufacture and QA, and probably be more obvious to tge consumer they're less repairable

Phreeli, if you pay using crypto that can keep you anonymous
