My super hacky NAD remote control over WiFi setup. An ESP-01S with Tasmota that gets its power from an ESP32-A1S board in the back. The black cable goes to the IR IN input of my NAD C 320BEE amp.

Bummer I can't do this with the squeezelite-esp32 firmware but I understand an IR send feature probably won't work: https://github.com/sle118/squeezelite-esp32/issues/229

Hooked up the "IR IN" input of my NAD C 320BEE to an ESP-01 flashed with Tasmota (tasmota-ir image). Assigned the "IRsend" parameter to one of the GPIOs, connected that GPIO to the tip of a 3.5" jack plug and GND to the sleeve. If I now send "IRSend" commands from Tasmota on the ESP-01 board the NAD responds immediately. In other words, I can now control this 20 year old stereo amplifier through WiFi. How NAD, eeeh, rad is that.

Our small domotics setup has been updated to the latest version of Home Assistant. I'm still using Home Assistant Core so I'm on my own, that way of running Home Assistant is not supported anymore.

So made a backup, installed Python 3.13, recreated the Home Assistant virtual environment, installed Home Assistant, copied over the Home Assistant configuration directory and started Home Assistant.

Few minutes later everything was up to date again.

Thanks for having me here, see you around!

High-severity security vulnerability found in [insert smart home device].

Could you imagine explaining to a person in 1980 that in 40 years, we'd all have to worry about someone monitoring us through our lamp or spying through our fridge. The smart home is a STUPID idea, always has been, always will be. I've experienced the smart home. We have smart home devices. The smartest home device is a simple light switch.

People out there,

I see many people automating stuff I consider normal, such as closing windows shutters or turning on and off lights at a certain time or by using their phone.

I think these activities are normal and fine in a house. Yes, I like to open and close the shutters manually and turn on the light by using the switch on the wall.

So, which useful automations do you have in your home?

A follow up: I got the #velbus starter kit. Looks great, works without any problems, but it requires windows to run #velbuslink - the configuration software. Fortunately nothing is encrypted. So far I didn't manage to run the software under #wine #domotics #homeautomation
