Amcrest seems to be the cheapest and I have good experience with them and Frigate


Kapowarr is for comic books, OP is looking for comic strips.
That said it should be great for finding collected editions.


Ah I missed that. That’s great! I should look into it.


So the automation is triggered if the power draw is above a certain amount? I assume there is a smart plug? Or is it a dishwasher with Wifi? Forgive me still learning how these things work.


Looks great, can old Google location data be imported?
If you can figure out a better way please let me know 😭😭


Very easy to use… once up and running. But there are other distros out there (Bazzite comes to mind as a good example) that “Just work” on a level even Macs can’t approach. Installation is the only “complicated” part but I’m sure we’ll see some manufacturers installing Bazzite by default in good time.


You’re absolutely not wrong.
But I’m still gonna clap.



Not defending the behavior in question, but Linux nowadays is MUCH simpler to understand than Windows or MacOS. It is by far the easiest operating system to change to, and the easiest to learn if you are somehow not familiar with any. From a user standpoint it’s the least “techie” OS now (aside from mobile OS of course).
What you describe about “needing to take courses” was true ten years ago, it was probably true three years ago. It is just simply not true now.
How would you do presence detection (getting home)
I have a sensor on my front door that triggers an automation that sends a text to everyone’s phones that is (supposed to) trigger a location update. It then waits ten seconds and checks everyone’s phones to see what wifi network they are connected to, it then waits another ten seconds and if nobody’s location is “home”, or nobody’s wifi is the home network, then it texts everyone an alert of a possible break in.
Only about 50% of the time does it correctly identify someone legitimately coming home lol


Wasn’t a fan of their hub so I connect the bulbs directly to my ZigBee hub/dongle.
I did the same, I wish it was more widely known that it was possible (and very easy with Zigbee2Mqtt).


I just checked and it’s in the HACS docs


I just checked and it’s in the docs but I’ve never needed it…


But there are dozens of people in this very thread who if I am understanding correctly are willing to offer the same service for free to prove their point that Plex is evil.


ok


Sorry to have annoyed you.


idk I find $2/month to be very reasonable. I don’t feel squeezed.
EDIT: Just to be clear there is no amount of condescending replies form trilby wearing neckbeard keyboard warriors that will change my opinion.


I know it’s fashionable to shit on Plex here, but OP either has his server misconfigured or is just trying to stir the pot:
https://support.plex.tv/articles/202526943-plex-free-vs-paid/
Free to Use: Video (movies & TV) streaming of personal content on the same local network as the Plex Media Server
This is a good point, I actually made that mistake once! It required their app to setup.
