What smart wall dimmers are you using?
  • There’s a new line of Caseta switches which actually look good and are traditional.

    Can’t be bothered to replace mine and barely use them anyway. Just use HA and automations for the most part

  • What smart wall dimmers are you using?
  • You mean the Lutron Caseta ones right?

    Yea I do notice the flickering in one of my rooms. They do sell a capacitor to solve the issue Lutron LUT-MLC https://a.co/d/eXWMCdY

    I haven’t bothered with it since the room with the flickering is my server room.

  • Willow on ESP-32-S3-Box
  • I have it running.

    I think there was a minor issue with the GitHub instructions that I had to google the fix for (don’t remember what it is)

    It can only talk to HA. So no setting timers and getting info from the internet.

  • Setting up a Home Assistant as a KVM - resize qcow2 and set up network bridge device [Guide]
  • Thanks for listing it down. I’ve had to occasionally resize my disk for my vm.

    If I may ask, why are you reinstalling HA occasionally? I’ve had the same install running for 5 years and the only time I had to re install was when I moved from a Pi to a mini PC

  • Copying website for offline
  • Do you want it for one trip or all?

    For one trip you select it and then save as html from your browser.

    For all trips if there is a request being made to the backend to get data I’m not sure it’s possible

  • What are the benefits of zigbee2mqtt over ZHA and is it worth migrating?
  • I moved from ZHA to Zigbee2MQTT because I had a few devices (mainly xiaomi/aqara) misbehaving on ZHA.

    It depends on your use case and with many thread/matter devices coming out this year I’m not sure if you even need to switch unless you have specific devices in mind not supported on ZHA.

  • if I selfhost, does that take any load of Lemmy?
  • Your instance is it’s own thing and will only push data that’s from communities created on your instance to others.

    However, since your instance will have limited users, it will consume fewer resources and your browsing experience would be faster.

    I’m not sure of where the limits are on the pushing side of things. If people from a lot of instances are subscribed to a particular community in an instance, there is a lot of outgoing data from there. This is something I’m curious about.

  • What are new technologies I should be looking into / learning in my free time?
  • As someone with more than 5LOE I’ve found that technology matters less and general concepts are more valuable.

    So look at system design concepts, how infra you use typically works (pubsub, databases, etc), how companies solve problems (engineering blogs from companies like slack, meta etc)

    Learning new languages only helps if you are currently working on something obscure.
