Check out the “Open Source Security Podcast” with Kurt Siegfried and Josh Bressers. It’s not about specifics so much as how to build a mindset around security for IOT and hosting, generally dealing with opensource offerings.

Using Discord to support code is like trying to teach sculpture over the telephone.

I think we fixed that for someone a few months ago, maybe you can scroll back and find it. I think the guys handle was user-something, might have been around May…

Node Red.

It’s half a GB of ram and virtually no CPU usage. You could run it on a Pi 3 with a 16Gb SD card and have resources to spare.

This is just weird.

I started out that way, but I’ve moved to doing most of it in HA directly since they massively improves the UI. I still use NR for complicated stuff though. I’ve recently started using Pyscript for modbus integrations too.

pulling the html of a devices web ui

I’ve done something similiar in NR to scrape the CUPS webpage on my desktop and turn on a tasmota plug for the printer when it sees a job waiting in the queue. I wouldn’t even try to do that in HA directly. But I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s an integration somewhere that would do it.

There’s a lot of difference between a container and a VM. You can install HA on a container, all you have to do is set it up according to the manual install instructions, and work around any hardware interfacing issues that come up. You’ll save 200MB of RAM and will have to do any upgrades manually. Doesn’t seem worth it to me, but to each their own.

Share your favorite automations

I’ve been running HA for a while, and it’s been working well; I haven’t had to change much in a few months. That being said, it’s fun to tinker with it, and I’m curious to hear what kind of automations the rest of the community is using. What automations are you most proud of? What are your favorite? What kind of...

HTML scrape of CUPS web server to see if there’s a print job waiting, turn on tasmota plug for laserprinter, then turn off in 5 minutes to save power.

It’s an old LJ4000 so it’s idle power is pretty high.

I’m trying this now, I see it change the state to “printing” but I can’t bring up the device in automations to act on it. If I go into the IPP devices page and try to add an automation from the device page, it tells me no devics are available for automation.

Edit: got it, it was under entities, not devices, in automations. That’s one more thing out of Node Red now, thanks!

Ive always had a VPN going, but it just makes more sense to keep the control local.
