  • If you start living by your own time you should take a look at decimal time too.

  • This is not what you asked for specifically but check out tqm https://github.com/autobrr/tqm it does everything you want automatically. It takes a bit of fine tuning but it can handle a lot of scenarios.

  • I have two Yale Zwave locks that are at least 11 years old and still kicking. The key factor to this is the non reliance on the cloud.

    Zigbee, Zwave, Esphome and other non-cloud will always work longer than any cloud based solution that is at risk of being shutdown, use a outdated or no longer available app, become a subscription, etc.

    I agree with you that they should be required by law to open their code and unlock the devices but I doubt this will happen any time soon.

  • Mine are there too!

  • I'm not sure what your regular OS is but on Linux you can also use Qemu/Kvm to run virtual machines, or docker/podman for containers. You can also look into Virtual Box for a more finished interface. If you want to have something that behaves like the cloud you could also try Incus.

    On windows : HyperV or Virtual Box for vms, you can also use Docker Desktop or Podman desktop. I think wsl also let you run services.

  • Here are my readings for my outdoor Airgradient Open air and indoor Airgradient One.

    Doors and windows are closed since yesterday afternoon and my HVAC uses MERV 13 carbon filters. I have set the fan to run a bit faster in order to filter out more PM. You can also turn off the air exchanger a bit but you need to keep a eye on CO2.

  • I have a surface 8 pro too and the easiest way to set it up was to use Aurora (or bluefin if you prefer Gnome). All the drivers were preloaded and if you want to use luks with the tpm it is a breeze to setup.

    You can achieve the same with other distros, I've done it with Arch and Nixos too but if you don't have a solid Linux background I strongly suggest Aurora or Bluefin for an easy and solid installation.

  • This works very well for tech enthusiasts and people who self-host nextcloud at home.

    The issue is when you are a government or university, it becomes harder to get all your users (which are probably not all tech savvy) to install a third party app store deal with the Android warnings about installing from third-parties, etc etc.

    And this is probably the user base Google are targeting with this move (assuming it's malicious) . When the higher ups complain that their files are not syncing and need to install things with a special procedure they sometimes wonder why they are not using M365 or Google which seems hassle free.

  • The two options I know of are Headscale and Netbird.

  • To answer the last part of your post:

    So far my experience is that the RCS-iMessage feature is working (or not) depending on the Apple user's provider. I'm on Android with a "cheap" provider in Canada and RCS-iMessage work with my iMessage contacts that are on major providers but those on cheaper providers don't work yet.

    So if you are on Android and your basic RCS works you should be good.

  • I have had Zwave Yale locks for almost 10 years now and am pretty happy with them. I have the assure SL (mentionned in another comment) on 3 doors right now and they are rock solid.

    The battery is reported to Zwave but you will also get some beeping and flashing on the lock itself when the battery gets low, so even if you don't see it in HA it is hard to miss and end up with a dead battery.

    As a side note, I always bought the push button variant of those locks and stayed away from the touch pad version. Living in Canada it seemed like a bad choice to deal with touchpads in the winter with the gloves and snow possibly melting on it.

  • If you are using zigbee you should check Sinope Sedna Walter valve with the optional water flow sensor. It is supported in zha using quirks from claudegel on github.

    Just make sure you select the ZigBee one since their WiFi one need their proprietary hub to work.
