Switching to Electric Heating in c/ontario@lemmy.ca
[–] LetMeThinkAboutIt@programming.dev 4 points 8 months ago

Lol. I (Quebecer) have 200a panel, electric resistive heating (in every room including a detached garage, no central AHU) + mini-split heat pump + electric car charger + electric water heater and my power demand never go above 15 kW (which equates to ~ 62 Amps).

Circadian vs “dim to warm” in c/homeassistant@lemmy.world

Personally, I have colour-capable bulbs in my bedroom (paired with a smart switch). Using Adaptive lighting (https://github.com/basnijholt/adaptive-lighting) was a breeze to setup and offers more capabilities than I even need.

Thank you for all the help! in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

That’s an impressive stack you were able to build. How long did it take you?

[Help]Stream music to my headphones through Bluetooth (programming.dev)
 

Hello all,

I'd like to get a bit of your help to get me started in the right direction.

I have a project that, I think is simple :

  • Trigger : I press a Zigbee action button
  • Expected result : Music is playing in my Bluetooth headphones and will stop in 30 minutes.

The gotchas that I have, for now :

  • The source file of the music is actually Tidal (a streaming platform similar to Spotify, but better).
  • My Home Assistant installation lives in a VM and has no Bluetooth capability
  • I have both a RPI3B and a ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1-N8 to my disposal

So, far, my researched lead me to come with this solution.
1 - Install Logitech Media Server (aka LMS or SqueezeServer) [Done]
2 - Install Tidal Plugin on LMS [Done]
3 - Flash my ESP32 with SqueezeLite-esp32 [Not done].
4 - Craft an automation to glue everything together. [Obviously, not done]

The problem I think I have is that my ESP32-S3 doesn't meet the 4MB PSRAM required by the SqueezeLite-esp32. Before purchasing another ESP32 with more PSRAM, I wanted to ask if you thought that I understood this properly?

Other solutions that I haven't thought of? Would using Volumio be a better solution?

Thanks for your help!

VMs or containers? in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world

Why not do both ? As I understand it, to do kubernetes clusters, you must have at least 3 hosts. They don’t need to be 3 different physical hosts: they could be VM (hosted on Proxmox).

Proxmox also having a very strong implementation of ZFS, then it could be used as the storage « host », and it gives you also the option to do snapshots of the VM (and the storage pool), as well as replication/etc.
