I'm showing quite a few sensor values from @homeassistant on our #DAKboard digital calendar. To avoid handing over a long-lived access token to DAKboard, and to limit what it can access — I set up #Caddy to enforce a limited access scope.

Securing Home Assistant API access for Dakboard — with Caddy

Back in 2021 I added Home Assistant sensor data to our Dakboard monitor. But I did so using a long-lived access token directly on the Dakboard blocks — which is not great for a couple of reasons: Tokens have no access scope, meaning they grant full admin access to everything The token was stored on Dakboard’s servers I want Dakboard to be able to pull data from my locally hosted Home Assistant, but I’d like to restrict access. I did this using Caddy as a reverse proxy 🤓

I’m terrible at promoting my own apps, but I’m trying anyway with a 50%+ off WWDC sale on DejaView (my macOS app that privately streams photos to DAKboard).

My DAKboard is hands down my favorite piece of tech in the house. It constantly resurfaces photos we’ve forgotten about, turning them into family stories over breakfast or dinner.

Regardless of DejaView, DAKboard is worth checking out.

I added an On This Day feature to my app DejaView. Easily one of my favorite apps I've built ... not the most complex, but regularly being reminded of great memories from my 80k+ photos over the last 25+ years is priceless (all the way back to some Nikon Coolpix 900 ones). If you run a DAKBoard and want to try it, just DM me for a promo code. #DAKBoard

We have changed out the screen we used for our @dakboard for a touchscreen one

Allows us to tap the screen to cross off our tasks and scroll upcoming stuff

Very happy with this, though it did require reflashing the SD card to get it working

I'm using an old #RaspberryPi 2 and a DS18B20 probe to accurately measure outdoor temperature. Value is sent on #mqtt to @homeassistant, and displayed on our #dakboard digital calendar 👍 https://blog.cavelab.dev/2024/11/rpi-outdoor-temperature/
Measuring outdoor temperature with a Raspberry Pi and DS18B20 probe

We have a Dakboard digital calendar in our kitchen — showing lots of house and temperature data. So naturally; it must show the actual outdoor temperature as well. To do this I used a Raspberry Pi 2, and a DS18B20 HAT I made some years back.

We now have the correct size cables attached and it looks a lot tidier, so far a lot of positive comments from both @lindsaylikestea & @magickmogwai about its usefulness

The Pi and extension lead are now velcroed to the back of the monitor

This was the TV I was gonna use for the notice board, but when setting up the software, which was a chew on, not the fault of @dakboard, I was clearly sold a counterfeit dodgy Micro SD card by @amazonuk

I accidentally dropped my phone on it and the screen was utterly destroyed, like it won’t turn on now!

The iPhone 15 is heavy!

The notice board is up!

I have specific length cables in their way over the next couple of days so they will get tidied up and look less jank

This is just my old second screen, mounted on Megan’s old TV bracket, with the Raspberry Pi that used to run the home server

I really need visual things to keep me on track!
