I support this change. Hardware can also be relevant apart from thr typical servers/mini PCs. Recently I asked about possibilities for a self hosted video/audio doorbell and was met with really helpful answers. While this question could also have fitted into communities for smart homes, I still think it is a good fit here. Self hosting already is a rather broad term. We should not limit ourselves too much in its definition.

One problem can be, that the better fit community does not have enough active users, thus being unlikely to give a good answer. I think we should have a look at that before refering the user to that community.

He is out of line, but he does have a point. A camera could still be useful for varying the voltage. I’ve heard, that Jehovas Witnesses could use a little more of a shock to get their life together

It is already possible without a battery. The new door, that we are getting, can also be bought with an automatic lock, though its expensive. Probably because the eletrical lines are running cleverly through the hinges. Having the lock on the outer side, woukd probably make it cheaper

Aren’t we already doing that? I for sure didn’t take the time to write paperless-ngx myself

Yeah, time, the all limiting factor. I have a big pile of project I want to do, if I only had more time…

Ah, that looks good. And they are affordable. Definitely comes on the top of my list. Thanks you very much for your help

Does it give you the option for 2 way audio through home assistantm And how are your experiences with wifi connection stability?

The proprietary app is something I don’t like. Would be great to find something, that is open enough to work with other systems

I agree, that full SIP is overkill. Though I don’t want to go the DIY hardware route. I already tried that and had constant disconnects. So I want to buy a system, that just runs, but also provide possibilities to do more in a self hosted solution.

I’m not sure how much time I want to invest in this. Maybe I will just go with an easy, less capable solution instead.

Do the reolink door bells also provide their feature openly to othet systems like Home Assistent? I don’t wanna use their proprietary app. And do you have experience with the connection stability on Wifi? I don’t want the connection to randomly cut out. I can go with ethernet (as we get new cables on our door either way), but Reolink doesn’t seem to have an ethernet option.

Hi from Germany, I’m not much into AI and with my pathetic 3GB VRAM I’m not sure, if it would be feasable to get useful local AI running. But recently I read about a very interesting project: llama conductor From what I understood it provides a way to handle ground truth, weave it into your llm interactions and get a confidence level for every answer (to avoid the confident halucinations). I’m not sure, if it can hold, what it promises. But I certainly would like to try.

Eh, I’m pretty sure it is. Haven’t had Kodi running for a while, but I used it on a Raspberry Pi with an USB HDD with my content long before I had Jellyfin. Though it cannot stream the content over network, just display it on the machines video output (which is what media PCs do)
