  • Export grid view from qBittorrent?

    Jump

  • This is not what you asked for specifically but check out tqm https://github.com/autobrr/tqm it does everything you want automatically. It takes a bit of fine tuning but it can handle a lot of scenarios.

  • Logitech will brick its $100 Pop smart home buttons on October 15 - Ars Technica

  • I have two Yale Zwave locks that are at least 11 years old and still kicking. The key factor to this is the non reliance on the cloud.

    Zigbee, Zwave, Esphome and other non-cloud will always work longer than any cloud based solution that is at risk of being shutdown, use a outdated or no longer available app, become a subscription, etc.

    I agree with you that they should be required by law to open their code and unlock the devices but I doubt this will happen any time soon.

  • M5Stack Atom Echo configuration

  • installing linux on my surface pro 8

    Jump

  • I have a surface 8 pro too and the easiest way to set it up was to use Aurora (or bluefin if you prefer Gnome). All the drivers were preloaded and if you want to use luks with the tpm it is a breeze to setup.

    You can achieve the same with other distros, I've done it with Arch and Nixos too but if you don't have a solid Linux background I strongly suggest Aurora or Bluefin for an easy and solid installation.

  • Input On Storage Expansion for Torrent Data

    Jump

  • The two options I know of are Headscale and Netbird.

  • Can a laptop docking station be used on a KVM switch?

    Jump

  • I am doing this with my personal and work laptops. I have two dell docking stations and a KVM to switch between the two.

    It will work, probably not well. There is a ton of factors to take into account.

    1- When switching the KVM input, depending on the KVM, the screens just get disconnected, meaning that the screens get re-detected each time you switch. Sometime it works well,sometimes not. Your laptop may also enter sleep mode since it is closed without screens attached. You may have to open it and press the keyboard if the USB from the KVM and docks are not re-detected.

    2- If you use Displayport MST to connect your screens you have to make sure both the dock and KVM will support it.

    3- When switching the KVM USB also gets disconnected and reconnected, it can be problematic with your dock, also see end of point 1

    I have both high quality (and too expensive) docks and KVM that I took time to research and it works ok most of the time but still glitches. The docks and multiple screens add complexity to the setup and fail points.

    If you go this way you will want to take your time and make sure all the pieces work together, I would steer clear of cheap Amazon stuff also.

    • KVM : iogear GCS1964
    • Docks : 2 WD19S
    • Screens: 3 Dell U2415 connected through HDMi

  • Smart locks and remote Z-wave

    Jump

  • I have had Zwave Yale locks for almost 10 years now and am pretty happy with them. I have the assure SL (mentionned in another comment) on 3 doors right now and they are rock solid.

    The battery is reported to Zwave but you will also get some beeping and flashing on the lock itself when the battery gets low, so even if you don't see it in HA it is hard to miss and end up with a dead battery.

    As a side note, I always bought the push button variant of those locks and stayed away from the touch pad version. Living in Canada it seemed like a bad choice to deal with touchpads in the winter with the gloves and snow possibly melting on it.

  • Local Only Water Meter?

    Jump

  • If you are using zigbee you should check Sinope Sedna Walter valve with the optional water flow sensor. It is supported in zha using quirks from claudegel on github.

    Just make sure you select the ZigBee one since their WiFi one need their proprietary hub to work.
