do you have a good place to start? I'm getting a house next month and would like to self host but it seems daunting.
Home assistant, and some zigbee solution (i use a conbee usb stick)
Zigbee and Zwave. Get both sticks.
Also recommend Home Assistant. Their integration page is a great resource when looking to buy products as they'll tell you exactly how your device will connect to it, whether it's local control, cloud control, etc.
Subscribe to @selfhosted and read the links on the sidebar. Any doubts, post a question and we'll do our best to help you.
Seems the main focus there is on hosting Lemmy instances. I subbed hoping to see stuff about hosting your own domain, media server, storage server, etc but didn't see any posts that weren't about Lemmy.
Be the change you want to see? Lemmy is still a baby and someone's going to have to make those posts or ask those questions if that content is going to show up there.
That will die down. There has been a massive influx due to what's going on with reddit.
