Anyone in here HA users? How many of you all are using all local calls without any need for internet?
What kind of cool stuffs are you doing? I know this isn't JAMF related (per se - although you can do some pretty cool things with API and home assistant….maybe integrate things with JAMF instead of leveraging Routines?).
Anyways, just curious of how many folks in here are home nerds as much as corporate nerds 😄
Home assistant users
+21+21Interested to here more from you and other users!
My instance is fairly lame, I have WLED with Permatrack on my house that turns on and off following the meterolgical sunup and sundown.
Probbaly the most fun thing I have is integrating my PBX with HA so you can call into a DISA or the desk phones around the house and check the temp of the hottub and house with voice commands.
Oh that’s awesome! Right now I’m running my HA instance in a docker container (ease of use, backups, etc. etc.). My biggest issue is making everything localized. I’ve started building my own LLM for use with HA Voice so I can make everything local (yes, I have a proxmox cluster with horsepower to run most of this).
Right now I have about 150 devices connected to HA (fans, lights, switches, thermostats, curtains, water valves, nano glass, etc.). My ultimate goal though is to not to have to rely on cloud based APIs and do everything locally.
+26Call me the odd man out, I deal with enough tech at work. Withstanding a desk with a monitor on it at my house for me to work from, literally everything else in my house is dumb. I spend my entire day automating things, when I get home I just want to flip a switch to turn on a light lol.

I do have a smart thermostat which I mostly like, though I’ve disabled a lot of the “helpful” settings after it almost roasted my cats by not turning on the A/C for four days while I was on a road trip earlier this summer.
Thankfully a friend who was checking on the boys let me know the house was at like 90°F and I was grateful to be able to override that from hundreds of miles away via the app on my phone. (Apparently no humans had to pee while stopping in during those four days, so did not pass by the thermostat on the way to the bathroom so it could sense someone was there.)
We heard you like space.

I have a 1960s home...so it’s super awesome to be able to automate it. I live in the middle of a hay field, so the more I can make people think that it’s literally the “Smart Home” (movie), maybe they’ll stay away ha.
Having convenience is nice...but I also have manual overrides 😁
My next setup is going to automate my portable generator to kick on when main power is lost. The only thing I have to manually do is flip breakers at that point
I find your lack of faith disturbing
+20I too have a 1960s home!

+7I have HA setup and like to play around with it. Thanks to the power of AI, I was recently able to use chatGPT to reverse engineer the bluetooth commands (via some bluetooth sniffing and the JADX with the android apps APK) to open and close my garage and then setup an esp32 to send the bluetooth commands. Next up I want to automate it so that it opens when i get home (but only when I’m on my bike or bicycle).
+26My house was built in the 1950’s, but I live in the middle of a subdivision in the outskirts of the largest metro area in my state which is not terribly large (I’m originally from LA, so my scale of what a large metro area is has been well defined)
