I don’t know how cheap pi5 are where you are but I would advise to have a look at one of those small pc with n100 or n150 processor. They are really low powered (close to pi5) and you will get a more powerful device. They cost around 150€ (even 100 on sale).

You can also use a ZigBee smart plug and connect your 5v power supply to it

That’s cool but reading this it feels like nothing is being done on home assistant. Is that correct?

I can’t remember any name but search for f2f (friend to friend) p2p. Basically a private way to share files over p2p to limited people you have accepted without any use of tracker like P2P use

Oh ok, the first thing that comes to my mind is Kodi. Depending your pc it might be a bit slow but that should work.

Edit: are you on linux or windows? If windows, you should really consider linux. Old pc comes back to life with linux as it needs way less ressources than windows

I guess you meant something to act as a remote desktop? Something lightweight better than a remote desktop for your use case is to setup a FTP server or a samba share. You will then use some media player client to read from there

You can go to Annas and search “piracy”. Not sure how much materials you will get but there will be some

I don’t know about jailbreak, but you can sideload games/apps. Will send a link in mp

It already exists for quest (vr head set) which is android base, so I guess we will see one for phone at some point.

Cool, enjoy

My guess is that your issue is from torrentio, I don’t use it but heard a lot recently about instability. You could try comet instead of others.

You already had some good advices but something I haven’t seen mentioned. If you use Kodi (and probably a couple others media player), you could use some sub plugin like open subtitle (forgot other names) to fetch subtitles on the fly when you will play video. It can be hit or miss at first, but subtitles name are like release name (title, quality, release group). So if you often encounter a release group that do your sub language. Try to download video from same release group, so you will have better chance that audio/sub sync properly.

This apart, +1 for private tracker as already mentioned, you may need some searching to find one but worth it.

I remember an announcement that the feature enabling remote viewing (outside of network) has/will become a paid function on Plex. But I haven’t followed it so don’t know all details

Nice. you can look out for a project with esp home and a contact sensor. Here is an exemple

Is the end goal to know if your dishwasher has finished? If so, a smart plug with power monitoring could tell you that.

Thanks for your answer, I only spend 15-20mn yesterday and have a starting prompt that doesn’t look bad (from my very limited knowledge). Would you be ok to have a look at and tell me what are your thoughts about it?

I obviously don’t realise how much work that is but thanks to you, I started one by asking AI as you recommended (didn’t even think about it, that’s shows how much I’m new to this :D). It isn’t personalised yet to my HA but I think I’m on the right track.

Since I almost never used ai, I didn’t know that people gate keep their ai knowledge so thanks for letting me know. I honestly thought it wasn’t a big deal. Also, I didn’t ask for someone to create it but asked for guidance like tips to not miss important details.

was assuming it was something very general and not specific to my HA like " you will act as a home assistant specialist giving me step by step guide to create automation, dashboard elements…" But by the feel I get from your answer, I guess I’m wrong…

+1 those are really great. And should be just below 150

Hi, If the one you link is good enough for you in term of accuracy, you can pick nearly everything you find at Aliexpress. Since you will be using rechargeable batteries, might be best to pick one without screen.
