Do you have any articles discussing this? I’m interested to learn more as someone who doesn’t live there.

It’s good to plant trees, but beware of folks using it as cover to avoid more important work like actually reducing fossil fuel usage: https://art19.com/shows/the-climate-deniers-playbook/episodes/5322de3f-ffc0-4258-a890-c648f59bc195

It is expensive but that Frient keypad is what I have and it’s fantastic. Been running it for about a year now and it’s rock solid. I’ve even repurposed Nest tags to work with it.

Dude, that 68 overall one with spikes in Res, Rec, and Dis!? Nice!!

I don’t use it with Alarmo but it would work just fine if I understand how Alarmo functions. I installed it 6 months ago and it still reads as 100% (though who knows how accurate that is). It does require some beefy batteries though so I tend to believe it. The battery reading is coming through Z2M.

Hope that helps! Here’s a helpful thread about getting it working and setting up RFID tags (I used old Nest Secure tags with no issues).

I’ve been using this and it works great!

That’s definitely its focus, but if you want a very simple store it does support payments: https://ghost.org/help/ecommerce/

If you’re willing to accept JavaScript I’d recommend a Ghost setup. Pretty good platform once it’s set up and easy to selfhost. Not sure you’ll find a platform without JS for your use case tbh.

Thanks for the info. That’s odd since most Z-wave devices can enter pairing mode with a button press.

How do you like the lock? Any issues with it?

I have two of the U6 lite APs and they cover my whole house perfectly. They’re POE but I just got a cheap POE unmanaged TP-Link switch for now.

Yep! And it’s amazing. I just had to keep retrying the connection for like 3-5 minutes.

I’ve actually been eyeing the Yale Assure Lock 2 because I want a keyless option (it’s Z-wave as well). Does anybody here have experience with that one?

Yeah it’s weird but usually when Destiny says something has a “chance” to happen it’s actually an invisible progress meter based off of kills, damage, etc. Super odd they don’t just say that in game.

I use yarr as well but forked it to use postgres as the database instead of sqlite: https://github.com/jgkawell/yarr

I don’t understand the downvotes either. Maybe folks don’t like your opinions? Either way, I’d rather see a discussion instead of just downvotes

We got one from Grain Wood and liked it so much we got a second. One we have is pine wrapped in a veneer of walnut and the other is painted white. They’re not hardwoods, but they’re leagues better than particle board IKEA stuff and don’t cost a fortune.

The Guardian Games skimmer works on all classes! Just move it over to your other characters or purchase duplicates from collections.

I’m experimenting with the Music Assistant add-on but it seems to be early days for that project. Could be awesome though as it combines media libraries from services (e.g. YouTube music) and self-hosted things (e.g. Navidrome) and plugs them into the Home Assistant ecosystem.

I’d recommend looking at the Wyoming/Piper/Rhasspy system. There’s some really good minds working on it and it’s got a big community behind it already. It’s also plug and play with Home Assistant which is awesome. It’s the system I use and while I’m still fine tuning it for my use cases it’s already pretty great.

Yeah there’s a bunch of them out there. I’ve had one running for a while now. Don’t have the specific model but it’s something like this: https://a.co/d/2v5M3U3
