Maybe click on that lux entity in the dashboard and see if it has been consistently transmitting its data (on the history graph)? I'm pretty sure you'll get this warning if the state reads "unavailable" which could be a reception issue or a dying sensor.
I recently saw this happen to an animation of mine and I think this was the cause
I would spend the money on smart switches before smart outlets. I personally find that I want smart control over almost all of my lights/ fans but only some of my outlets.
Another reason for my avoidance of smart outlets is they are much more expensive than smart plugs and it's rare that you want to control both plugs in an outlet anyways.
As far as wiring if you want window/ door sensors or motion sensors you might consider running power to those locations. Much better than changing button batteries constantly.
Use conduit to future proof any network cables you run....
Dietpi is a nice little distro, especially when running it minimal without a GUI. Its added toolkits make farting around on the command line more comfortable
I've spent countless hours over the last couple years, since I left the Googs, trying to find a good alternative for STT. I love that I just bumped into this post and it seems to be the answer I'm looking for. I've been playing around with it today and it works pretty great. Thanks OP!
Murena is the company behind e/os which is a privacy (from big tech) driven android spin. Whether or not you want to flash your phone with the os, you can use their cloud suite for a few dollars a month. It's built on nextcloud, has email, calendar, notes, picture and file backup, productivity suite.....
Murena isn't end to end encrypted like proton, so it depends on your threat model I guess
If I was looking for a top of the line card I would dig in and learn everything there is to know about graphics cards to make an informed decision. When it comes to buying a run of the mill card, its hard to get that excited!
Not sure what I'll buy yet, but you've pointed out what I need to look for. Thanks!
