Thank you very much for the insight. I’ve updated my build list and I’ve got the total price down to $1507 which is much more in line to what I wanted to spend.
I appreciate the extensive response. I see I can build an AMD much better for the same price. Check out this PC Parts Picker list. This is probably top of the line right now? Would you say this would be able to play comfortably for 7+years (obviously estimating)?
Amen. Same boat here. I have too much of it now and I want to start migrating to local control. I’m starting on Shelly devices myself.
HA has gotten a lot better in the last year if you haven’t used it in a while. I honestly don’t feel it’s cumbersome. Gone are the days of needing to use YAML code.
What if you made a pin switch in combination with the magnetic switch? Any magnet should work, the magnet from the magnet switch can be replaced with any magnet. Maybe you need a stronger one is all?
Looks like Shelly. If so, if you set up home assistant and get Shelly added do you get all the features you want? I would think so.
I can only assume this was intentional, I agree username checks out
I made a solar powered wifi enabled weather station and moisture meter for my garden. The first attempt was my only and it lasted a couple weeks before I noticed the ants liked the heat of the electronics, created a little farm around the box sitting on the ground and then my wife became unhappy about it.
That said I will eventually make another that is elevated from the ground, just haven’t gotten to it yet.
Sync was only released within the last week to the public, it’s going to take a little more time to finish working out the bugs. I am excited for sync because it was my preferred Reddit app and I’m hopeful it’ll be as good here. As for the ads… I use adguard dns and I haven’t seen any ads yet… Hopefully that continues. I agree $20 is steep but I thought I read somewhere that was one time payment. Someone else will have to confirm.

I apologize I realized I was updating the linked list. So it’s no longer the same as it was when I posted this.
