#UnplugBigTech Tipp 25: Home Assistant und Co.

Viele IoT-Geräte (bspw. smarte Steckdosen, Thermostate, Kameras) senden Daten an (US-)Hersteller-Server. Kaufe lokal steuerbare Alternativen oder setze auf Open-Source-Lösungen wie Home Assistant.

Home Assistant

I just finished the first version of a small software for managing the balcony solar plant of some family members. It works completely without any cloud or any other people's computers or even an internet connection.

There's three panels and an inverter with a battery. Any power initially is used in the household, then if anything is left it's put into the battery for later use, or if the battery is full, fed it into the public grid (to get a small financial compensation). Or if you want to, you can override that and just charge the battery, or even charge it from the grid.

Of course the inverter originally needs a cloud connection and comes with an app that needs a cloud connection and obviously is described as AI-powered very smart whatever. But there is a documented API for getting and setting some values! Interoperability! Without the cloud, there's hardly any logic built in. So I had to create it myself.

It's just a few HTTP requests, json, a SQLite database, and some very basic HTML.

This is how I got into the home computer lab and self hosting hobbies. Yes, data centers are disasters. They're terrible for the environment as they deplete water sources and place additional strain on the already stressed power grid. Furthermore, they lead to deforrestation. Their diesel generators dump even more CO2 into the air.

#UnplugBigTech Tipp 7: Die eigene Cloud

Verlasse die US-Cloud-Anbieter und wechsle zur Open-Source-Lösung Nextcloud zum Teilen, Speichern und Synchronisieren. Office-Dokumente kannst du mit dem optionalen Collabora Office gemeinsam bearbeiten. Nextcloud kannst du selbst betreiben. Einfacher ist es, für ein paar Euro einen europäischen Nextcloud-Hoster zu wählen – idealerweise inkl. Collabora.

Zum Einstieg unsere Nextcloud-Serie. 👇
