I feel like this is going to be a deciding factor in how comfortable countries are in the third quarter of the 21st century.
“Did they start to get their renewable shit in order by 2025?”

Maybe I’m just a datahoarder, but for me the really obscure stuff is the most worth keeping originals of.

The sheer risk of running NSFW servers in this post-OSA timeline, I wouldn’t be surprised if they just homer-simpson’d into the bushes, and waited for it to all be over.

To be honest, part of the reason I leaned towards having the radios on the same box, was simplicity.
I have a box, with a VM, VM is backed up, new box could be stood up if needed and restored from a backup.
The other was, when I knock over the network (don’t ask…), I don’t lose logged data from the various sensors.

If you did want to be able to fail over quickly, so long as you make the USB device paths match (ie, have them on the same device in proxmox), you should be able to swap things over inside 10 minutes.

“Bots? No, no, those are active users. They also don’t use adblockers, so they’ve better than regular users!”

Is there a particular reason you want to put your z-wave controller on the network, rather than just plugging it into the proxmox hardware? (Assuming I’ve read your post correctly). Are you looking to do high availability on the VM or something?

I found running HAOS in a VM, and passing through USB devices worked really well, and I just bought the bog-standard z-wave dongle from Aeotec.

I haven’t had a single zigbee button need a battery replacement yet.

Plus, the terrain near the coast here is an absolute bastard for point-to-point roads.
You’d struggle to make the alternative road any more efficient than the existing b-roads.

Does being catholic give you access to church time in prison? As that might be a nice perk that people would go for.

Very accurate.
When we had the northern lights here, we pulled over on the way to the dark-sky location, and the aurora filled the sky.
After it died back a bit, we drove on to the dark-sky, where we spent 3 hours sitting in the dark working out if the green bits were going to spike up again.

The 2010s gutting of social services also contributed to this.
Services that might have helped the elderly continue to live in their own homes, or supported in their community, got ripped up.
So everything slides until they hit the one thing that can’t be cut, a hospital bed.

Do you have rtl_433 mqtt auto-discovery set up?

Overpriced and aimed towards tourists?

This is one of the saddest signs of climate change. And it’s visible to anyone willing to look.
You see them bud and bloom in november/december, then get knocked back when it finally gets properly cold.
Knowing full well they’ve used up part of the energy store they needed for actually blooming in the spring.

That’s crazy. I wonder what needed so much spending.
I know that when the host costs for feddit.uk were looked into, standard cloud hosting was going to be significantly more expensive than a cheapie hetzner box.

I reckon culture-grown meat will be the big one that shifts people away from slaughter meat.

Sure, growing it from a culture will still have people refusing on ethics grounds, but it’s damned sight less suffering.

That was the conclusion I reached a little while ago. So I’ve just stopped eating shellfish as a result.

I’m now trying to reduce the amount of cow I eat.

What type of radio is the weather station using? Are you pulling the data using RTL_433?

Boilers are kinda on/off, from a control perspective.
The boiler heats water to the set flow temperature, pumps it around the loop, and repeats until it’s switched off.
The amount of gas used is modulated by the boiler to make the water come out at the right flow temperature.
Unless all the rooms in your house are perfectly insulated, or so badly insulated that they lose heat instantly, ad-hoq temperature changes in individual rooms is tricky to do well.

I did have smart TRVs for a while, but actually ended up binning them.
So my current solution is:
HomeAssistant controlled call-for-heat. This is a relay that when connected, turns the boiler on.
Temperature sensors in each room. This allowed me to balance the radiators so they all warmed up evenly, and also feed into the HA thermostat to decide when the heat needs to come on.
Manual TRVs in each room set to slightly above the normal target temperature. So they’re normally open, but will close if something crazy happens, like someone turning on a fan heater.
Timed target temperatures in HA. So the target temperature drops at bedtime, and rises just before I get up.

I also lowered the flow temperature of the boiler, which improves efficiency.
I’m not 100% sure what you’re trying to achieve in your setup.
But adding TRVs to each room (and having one always-open, like the bathroom) would be a good step forward.

It was such a breath of fresh air when I finally put HA onto proxmox.
“Oh, I actually have resource now? Sweet!”
