Right, but the opener is already there and installed. Plus, it does give you all the information and control over that interface. Buying a ratgdo for $30 and adding it into your Liftmaster opener is still a better situation than a dumb opener and a dumb switch. The dumb switch doesn't give you open/closed/stopped status, lights, etc.

If I were to buy a new opener, I would probably get a liftmaster + ratgdo again anyway

I don't know about him, but I really don't want to be screwing around replacing my openers

That would be neat, but I really doubt it will ever happen

What don't you like about ratgdo? It seems pretty good on paper, I've not yet got one in my hands. Hopefully soon

What I can't figure out now is if I want to replace OpenGarage when my Ratgdo arrives. It has a lot more features, but do I care now I have OpenGarage setup? Unsure

 

Hopefully this fits here? Its self hosted, but not quite what the usual self hosted post would be. I've not seen any real reviews of these, so I figured I'd post

 

Last time I posted a full writeup on my lab (The before before this) there was a lot of questions on what exactly I was running at home. So here is a full writeup on everything I am running, and how you can run it too

I use O365 Business (Or whatever the heck they call it now) for my email, so for SMTP on all my devices at home, I use an O365 account with an app password, sending as a distro-group so it can have a custom name

This works, but I don't like how every device/server has O365 creds in it. I am thinking I should setup an SMTP Relay at home locally, which sends to O365 (Or Sendgrid, etc etc) and then SMTP on local services can just point to that local address

Is this the right way to go about it? What is the current best software do it? I've only ever had experience using IIS to do this, and of course I don't want to be running windows!

 

I have 2 x TrueNAS boxes, and because I am doing replication between them, I need to keep the UID's and GID's the same between them for accounts that are needed on both ends

This leads to a situation where I must great all accounts on both sides, which gets a bit annoying.

There is also situations where I need to update accounts, like my wifes account, but she has no access to TrueNAS, so I need to get to her type her password in, twice. A bit annoying

I'd love a way to have a central account repository with a self serve password changing UI so people can change their password, and have it all sync between TrueNAS. Ideally the accounts would stay on TrueNAS, so if the SSO solution dies, all the accounts stay

Does this exist?

I'm not bad, but I suspect I'm worse than a lot of guys out there

Zero problems, often times stuff in the house is actually hotter than stuff in the garage funnily enough, even in summer

Yes, I have a 27kw Natural Gas standby generator with an ATS. It takes 10 seconds from power failure, to it switching to generator power. So, the UPS just bridges that gap

In the extremely unlikely even the natural gas goes out, I have a 7.2kw Tri-fuel portable generator (Gasoline, NG and Propane) and I keep around 80 gallons of gasoline on hand, and I have an inlet and interlock on the main breaker, so I can switch to that if needed

its a Natural Gas generator, and it actually takes 10 SECONDS!

I don't know if I should be happy or sad

I have Bitwarden set to give my wife access if she requests it and I don't respond in X days

Things generally "just work" so she would have access to everything, and she can figure out what she wants to do. All the passwords are there and all of the configs are fairly easy for stuff she cares about anyway

 

Hopefully this is not too long! There has been a lot of changes since the last time I posted a full overview like this

 

Well, that didn’t take very long at all! As with almost everything, the cloud seems appealing, and then slowly increased in price while the service gets reduced
