A pi5 with 1gb ram will always be cheaper but that’s not enough ram for your usecase, search n150 at Aliexpress, you can often find some mini pc for around 150-160€ on sale with n150, 12gb lpddr5 (or 16gb ddr4 sodim) and 500gb SSD. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQ5k2Uu This one was 153€ couple of days ago. Thay are other Chinese brand like soyo, beelink, bmax that have similar hardware. They are not as good as NUC, but they do the job for way cheaper.

Home assistant is a beast, not sure openhab can actually match it today. Unless you already have a pi5 and a SSD (avoid micro sd card), you could consider a mini pc with n150 (or n100) processor. It doesn’t consume much power (close to pi5) and it will be more powerful and more Ram which will be useful for immich.

Start with zigbee first, much more mature than thread. I don’t personaly use thread but i believe some zigbee dongle also can deal with thread at the same time.

About the setup. If mini pc, you can use proxmox so you will be able to create a VM for home assistant and another one for immich.

They have changed their policy last year, not sure it is the best place to put pictures on

There is a ublock filter you can add to block the login page to appear if that’s what you are looking for.

Can’t add it right now, but let me know if you can’t find it and I will add it

You can search for “9 2009” to help finding it. Not on first page but does appear (check pm)

That might depends on how your AC is working, I recently did the same at my dad’s house and run into issues because the temp control for the unit is reading from the remote. So when I sent infrared command to turn off unit, it worked as expected for some minutes then turned back on because remote sent back command as temp wasn’t meet. Still need to do a lot of testing to find a way to make it work, might need to disable remote and use some temp sensors for the triggering part but not sure how that will work, might need to use some hysterisis friendly climate addon for that…

First off, I don’t get why someone down voted you for just asking a question… So take my upvote.

There is so many things you can do with home assistant therefore not easy to explain all possibilities, here are a few things that comes to mind.

Many smart home users prefer to not depend on cloud giant and that’s a way to keep it local and keep everything in just one app even if devices are not same brand. It can just trigger light automatically depending of scenarios (if you have earring issue, it can trigger some light when someone rings at the door). You could have switch that are not well placed and are not practical and it enables you to add wireless switches elsewhere. It can also monitor appliances (and/or services) so it can remind you stuff (useful for some people that easily forget things) like emptying washing machine, taking trash out… (No need to add many daily reminder in your agenda which would have single notification that you will wipe out and forget). You can add security cameras and keep them local only. It can remind you to close windows when you just left home or because it started raining. It is also a way to monitor for exemple water leaks so you can react quicker to avoid big damages (imagine a small leak behind a sink which you wouldn’t notice for quite sometimes) same thing applies for smoke detectors, CO2 levels…

The list of things it can do is really endless.

You can try captvty on desktop, it enables downloading available replay and many have English, French audio with subtitles in each languages.

Only thing is I don’t know it if requires to be in France to access it but vpn would solve that.

If you go on any French download website mentioned in fhym, look for files with “multi” so you will get subtitles in English.

Why would they propose free turbo mode with uploader status if it was an exit scam? I personally don’t think they will bother to do so since they are the largest pt by far, I would see a scam like that for small pt that are not able to get bigger. They probably received so much new uploaders status that they can’t keep up right now, according to their saying they are also writing new API. That being said, ygg team have never been seen as nice people but that was the same for t411 (most are probably from t411 anyway)

If you can find one with IR remote, you can use something like broadlink rm mini 3 or 4 to learn commands

A second option I can think off is If heater has a button (not touch ones), you could use a fingerbot and add a temp sensor further away on direction of the fan so you can make an automation to ensure it is on or off

In MAS we trust! :D

Did you check photogimp? It’s gimp with Photoshop like user interface

Can’t answer sorry

Comparison of self hosted photo library https://github.com/meichthys/foss_photo_libraries

Did you try darktable? Pretty decent open source alternative to lightroom

Kodi

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
