It is expensive but that Frient keypad is what I have and it's fantastic. Been running it for about a year now and it's rock solid. I've even repurposed Nest tags to work with it.

If you click the switch plan link in the blog post it'll let you change. That's what I had to do.

I've been using Neo Launcher for a while as a Nova replacement and it's pretty good. Both of those features are included as well as things like shortcut actions when you double tap or swipe on the home screen.

I don't use it with Alarmo but it would work just fine if I understand how Alarmo functions. I installed it 6 months ago and it still reads as 100% (though who knows how accurate that is). It does require some beefy batteries though so I tend to believe it. The battery reading is coming through Z2M.

Hope that helps! Here's a helpful thread about getting it working and setting up RFID tags (I used old Nest Secure tags with no issues).

That's definitely its focus, but if you want a very simple store it does support payments: https://ghost.org/help/ecommerce/

If you're willing to accept JavaScript I'd recommend a Ghost setup. Pretty good platform once it's set up and easy to selfhost. Not sure you'll find a platform without JS for your use case tbh.

Thanks for the info. That's odd since most Z-wave devices can enter pairing mode with a button press.

How do you like the lock? Any issues with it?

I have two of the U6 lite APs and they cover my whole house perfectly. They're POE but I just got a cheap POE unmanaged TP-Link switch for now.

I've actually been eyeing the Yale Assure Lock 2 because I want a keyless option (it's Z-wave as well). Does anybody here have experience with that one?

I have an Emporia Vue and really like it. It's great for catching things being left on accidentally.

I use yarr as well but forked it to use postgres as the database instead of sqlite: https://github.com/jgkawell/yarr

I'm running my own SearXNG instance and trying to configure Gugal to work with it: https://gitlab.com/narektor/gugal

It says my instance needs to have API access enabled but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do that. Anyone done this before or know how to do it?

edit: SOLVED - see comment below

 

I'm using the Piper addon in Home Assistant and want to have multiple voices for various usecases (one for assistant and one for security alerts, etc.). In the "Voice assistants" settings you can configure various personas for Assist to use and there are dropdowns for different voices too select when using Piper (see attached image). However, that dropdown only has a single voice which you configure in the Piper addon configuration. Is there a way to configure multiple voices to the Piper addon at the same time? I can only seem to get one working at a time.

 

I'm looking for some good bookshelf speakers to fit into this small shelf. This is a media console that sits underneath the TV in our living room. I'm thinking if I get some speakers that are fairly slim I could lay them on their side. The size of the shelf is shown in the attached picture and there's an equivalent shelf on the other side of the console. Any recommendations?
