Gah! I've got to get my HomeAssistant running. Can't believe it's taken me so long to do so. Will sort it this weekend.

@stephenharlow I'm assuming you've got an HA instance running - what components do you use? I'm looking at how ambitious I'm wanting to be in the first instance with my set up... Thinking I'll include a queue and other bits and pieces, but don't want to overcomplicate it.

Out of curiosity, is there anywhere in virtual #Aotearoa that people discussing #HomeAssistant and locally-relevant issue meet? #Geekzone? I'm keen to have https://community.iridescent.nz (a locally hosted Discourse instance with ActivityPub support) start to take on that role (along with hosting other 'open community-of-interest' groups)...

@lightweight There's a Facebook page. Yeah, Facebook. On it anyway as I have to maintain crap there.

Other communities of practice I'd love to see there would be, for example, open source language communities, degrowth/climate action communities, knitters, EV communities, Local power gen people, Greenhouse people, sourdough people, fermentists, woodworkers, etc. So many cool interests people could have..

@vik hah, nice! We used 33kWh today, too, but half generated, half from grid (no battery storage 😥 )...

@downbeatdan > I've only used proprietary systems to date. I have HA on my 'to investigate' listMaybe you and @lightweight could investigate it together? You're both highly skilled technologists and lovely chaps to boot : )@stephenharlow
