I’m not 100% sure but this might also depend which OS you are running on your pi. Did change from SD card to SSD few years back for my home assistant setup (now running with a mini pc) at the time I went for a geekpi adapter (can’t recall exact model).
Try a quick ducduck search “sata adapter #yourOS#” and see if a list come up. Here is one for HA (but surely more models are compatible than the ones listed here) https://community.home-assistant.io/t/working-usb-enclosures-and-adapters-with-hassos/212763
Edit: as for SSD, I went for Samsung EVO model
Sidenote: all SSD will be more reliable than a sd card because they are less sensitive to rewrite counts
Thanks for the heads-up, haven’t tried webrtc. Something still missing for me is person detection, with luck it will be added in future as this has been requested by some user to tplink R&D (at this moment, this feature doesn’t comply with onvif standard).
None the less, they are good and cheap devices.
I don’t have any but I’ve seen reolink mentioned a lot, cheaper would be tapo camera (what I have), I know some tapo have baby cry alert but don’t know if this function works with hacs component. For Tapo, once setup inside app you can block internet access to the camera threw your router or else. https://github.com/JurajNyiri/HomeAssistant-Tapo-Control
I don’t see why you think those are web based, usually people run this at home but glad you find what you are looking for
As far as photo librabry, you can compare the different solutions at https://github.com/meichthys/foss_photo_libraries
on your card, click on the three dots. You should have more options there. If it doesn’t work, change “intial_hvac_mode” to “cool”
edit: didn’t see your next replied, glad you work it out
Relying on 4 nvme drive for low power isn’t ideal as nvme drive needs about twice more power compare to sata SSD.
You can use an helper to toggle from one to another and use an automation to trigger it (or a simple switch on your dashboard).
But if I were you, I would use a community add-on as dual AC isn’t a niche, I guess it will keep being updated in future. I’ve been using some community add-on for a couple of years and none have been dropped til now.
Instead of using a community add-on, you can create two generic thermostat. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/generic_thermostat/
On your Xiaomi first time you launched app, you can determine wether you always allow or allow on prompt (but you should still be able to manage that setting afterwards). You also need to disable battery optimization for that app and set app to be able to auto launch in background. This is at least what I do with my home assistant app to determine GPS location in background (app record every 15mn) and no issues with battery draining.
They do have hub (probably pi like hub) with ZigBee and/or zwave but best to use a small nuc (or similar) and get a ZigBee dongle. Will be a bit more expensive but worth it. Have no idea about pricing for subscription service but I’m not sure they can even match the power of home assistant automation capabilities.
A complete and affordable setup that will merge anything you want inside a single app will be by using home assistant. But while it is much easier to setup and maintain than a few years ago, selling the house will require new owner to have a few tech knowledge. You also have to make sure that your setup is designed to be used by all family whatever there age and knowledge (and it isn’t always simple)
Describing everything available that would make it a perfect place will take a very very long comment but here are some hint, look at ethernet cameras instead of wifi, ZigBee and zwave instead of wifi for most of the devices as those protocols are designed for smart homes unlike wifi, use as less as possible cloud base solution.
As a starter, you can check for temperatures/humidity sensors, contact sensors for doors/windows, automated curtains, switches, presence detection, lights, leak detectors, weather station, energy monitoring,…
Don’t have particular case to recommend as the one I have has been printed but get one where you can add an SSD. SD card are not well suited for home assistant due to the amount of overwriting.
i’m willing to try to help you but to be honest, it is far from my limited knowledge… and i’m also not english native so i do sometimes struggle to understand some specifc docs…
That being said, looks like exemple given at https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/voice/intent-recognition/template-sentence-syntax/ isn’t inside _common.yaml
# Example light_HassTurnOn.yaml
language: "en"
also i just realised that this is developer document which could explain why _common.yaml modifications would be wiped out after an update.
I just had a look to the non developer doc and it suggest intent_script is to be added to configuration.yaml and intent to custom_sentences/<language>
as shown here https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/conversation/
# Example configuration.yaml entry
intent_script:
# Example temperature.yaml entry
language: "en"
intents:
Not 100℅ sure…
Your intent script might need to be a bit different using
speech: text:
As shown below https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/intent_script/
intent_script: CustomOutsideHumidity: speech: text: "It is currently {{ states('sensor.outside_humidity') }} percent humidity outside."
Aldo have a look at https://developers.home-assistant.io/docs/voice/intent-recognition/template-sentence-syntax/ for the common.yaml
So pc is consuming 13W, this is with one nvme + one SSD, pic at 30w for a few seconds at boot.
Curious, might have same machine but do consume a bit more, do you have one SSD + one nvme?
It is a beelink mini s12 pro https://www.bee-link.com/beelink-mini-s12-pro-n100-mini-pc-clone-1
Do also have a n100 processor running proxmox with 3 VM. Can’t try right now but can come back in a few days to let you know how much power it draws
Thanks, will check details
