What is your experience with loxone? What is it worth to integrate with it? in c/homeassistant@lemmy.world
[–] danielo515@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

This is great feedback, thank you very much. So far I only talked to a loxone comercial, and another installer that works both with knx and loxone, and that person has recommended loxone. Do you know if loxone gives incentives to their installers ?

What is your experience with loxone? What is it worth to integrate with it? (lemmy.world)
 

We are moving to a new house, and I want to build a foundation in something more reliable as homeassistant and zigbee. I looked at KNX and it is ridiculously expensive (170 euros for a pir sensor is a joke). So as an alternative I'm looking at loxone, which seems to be a cheaper alternative to KNX. Do you have experience with it? How good is it? What kind of things are worth automating with loxone? They have a lot of solutions, but I'm not sure if they are all worth it. I am already sold about the lights, but what about multi room audio? Light, motion, temperature sensors?

Any experience/testimonials are welcome

VS Code in Home Assistant: any use for this outside of editing yaml files? in c/homeassistant@lemmy.world
[–] danielo515@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Vscode extension is aware of home assistant entities, so you get (or should) auto completion of existing entities and services, which you will not get on vim over ssh

What's the point on hosting RSS reader's? (lemmy.world)
 

This is a honest question. I have two RSS services hosted on my server, and I don't see the point. RSS is by nature distributed, and subscribing to my own server just makes the source of all news being the same. What is the advantage? What do people use it for?

What is a long time? I've been running it more than a year, and the number of times it broke and the amount of time I had to invest into its quite high. You may be lucky, or I may be unlucky, but I'm just explaining my experience

Gigabox looks like a cloud backup solution. Did you meant anything else?

No, but totalitarian governments tend to get into everything, and a popular piece of software is something they will be interested in.

Q: should I increase my current VPS capacity or spin up a new one for the same price? (lemmy.world)
 

I have an already configured VPS server in Hetzner. I'm pretty happy with it. I have it configured with yunohost (a Debian "layer" that allows you to easily install services). Now I'm planning to run a NextCloud service, but my current server is not capable to handle it with it's current capabilities. For the same price I could scale my current server or spin up a new server with the same capabilities and dedicate it to next cloud.

The disadvantages of spining up a new server, is that I have to configure another server and secure it, but the advantage is exactly on the same side: I will have a second server in case something fails or I want to "scale down" to save costs it will be easier.

Even if I just scale up the current server, I will have to add an extra disk and configure the server to use it, so I'm not sure about the advantages of each one.
