In other news, the #meshtastic node I have been carrying all week has behaved swimmingly.

Battery life is around 11 hours, maybe 12.

Its a #heltecv3 with a cheap serial GPS (which seems to take forever to get a lock on power up). Amazon delivered me 1000 2n2222s and 2 ublox GPS units to the house today, which I'll use to set up some powersave features and switch the #GPS on/off via meshtastic's enable/disable function. Should extend battery life a couple more hours, at least.

I hope.

There's a few things I wish Meshtastic did automatically, like automatically switching to the correct subtopic for #MQTT based on GPS, so I don't have to manually switch from msh/US/XX to msh/US/YY when I land or take off.

Look for AWED in the air, or on the ground, if you are wanting to see if you can ping me. I try to answer all messages with confirmations. I view that like #QSLing.

Anyway, now that I've got another 2 hour wait in this frelling airport, I'm going to get some reading done.

Hope everyone had a great week, and will have a better weekend.

I got bored at work today so built another remote co2 level (+temperature) display using a nook simple touch ereader and #nodered from #mqtt for the office . Now just need to get to grips with the 'join' node to make sure the values go in the right places in the static #html 🤔

Photos to follow tomorrow

Оповещение о РО через колонки Яндекса (Ну или в целом получение сигналов в УДЯ)

Система и алгоритм оповещения о ракетной опасности с использованием Яндекс Станций. Пользователь вручную создает сценарии для устройств «Умного дома Яндекса» с использованием «Лампочки», которая включается при сигнале о РО и выключается при сигнале ОТБОЙ. Стэк: Python, telethon, aiogram 3.x, mqtt, postgresql.

If you wanted to build your own #localized #IoT #Android based #botnet for some reason, here's a good starting point.

Using #BLE to operate #MQTT is so countryside compound it almost makes me want to boobytrap my perimeter.

I'm extending Mitemperature2 ( github.com/JsBergbau/MiTempera ) to add the packet counter received from the hygrometers so I can add a second receiver running on a esp32 without duplicating the Mqtt messages. I've added the packet counter to Mitemperature2's #mqtt output, I just need to add the Bluetooth sensor name so the esp32 can find the topic for each sensor without requiring a lookup table.

The custom firmware for the sensors is here: github.com/pvvx/ATC_MiThermome
And the sensors can be bought on Ali

Hallo und guten Abend zusammen!

Für unser Projekt #mapleHome haben wir uns kürzlich einen neuen #homeserver gegönnt und bereiten und den Umzug unseres #Smarthome und einiger Apps/Tools vor. Bislang läuft unser #HomeAssistant OS auf einem Raspberry Pi 4 - soweit so gut.
Was mich persönlich immer nicht ganz so glücklich macht ist, dass die erforderlichen Add-ons und Zusatzdienste eben zu 100% vom gleichen System abhängen. So ist ja z.B. zigbee2mqtt ebenfalls "offline", wenn ein Update mit Neustart durchgeführt wird ...

Meine Idee:
Ich möchte zusätzliche Server/Dienste wie #zigbee2mqtt, den #MQTT Broker, Datenbanken, ... ein eigene VMs/Container auslagern. Dazu läuft #proxmox auf dem Server, für Home Assistant wird es eine VM geben und eben auch eine VM für #Docker.

Habt ihr es auch so oder so ähnlich umgesetzt? Bin ich gedanklich auf dem Holzweg? Oder würdet ihr noch weiter gehen?

Danke schonmal und allen einen schönen Sonntagabend!
