Playing around with LibreELEC and Kodi on a Raspberry Pi 4 as a Jellyfin client for the TV.
Over the past month or so the Jellyfin app for WebOS has basically been unusable and I can’t figure out why. So this is my solution.
I do have a DIY Steam PC attached to the TV too but its GPU fan is annoyingly loud for TV and movie watching.
Newish blog post about an oldish thing I did https://sjtrny.com/posts/2026-07-07-automated-cat-deterrent-with-frigate-esphome-and-home-assistant/
Right under the aircon
Current dining room controller setup in the simulator. Added the individual blind controls today.
Radio corner has expanded with another dongle max. The left is for Thread and the right is for Zigbee.
I helped to run a focus group this week in a noisy, public environment. Normally we do this in a quiet meeting room which has mics everywhere.
So to record audio I bought a DJI Mic Mini kit (on sale rn!) [1] and 3D printed some handles. This is the "flat" option from [2].
I like this handle design because it uses the mechanical clip of the mics to latch on. Most other handles rely on the magnets.

On the metro home I was thinking about how the new extension is ripe for a food crawl.

You could throw in some middle eastern options at lakemba and punchbowl too.
@TechConnectify Check out esphome. It could solve a lot of the shortcomings of your solution. It uses YAML configuration.
You would need to add at minimum:
Re-use the thermistor you already installed.
It works completely autonomosly and without network connection. You can monitor it with home assistant or via web interface if you like.

I've been testing out music assistant more and more. I think that Tidal is the best provider currently. It has an official API, decent library and good encoding.
Apple Music, Spotify or Youtube Music all fail at one of those criteria.
Updated https://github.com/sjtrny/caddy-hostnames with performance improvements from using async.
Wet bread wrapped inside.
Dry noodles left outside, placed casually.
Dissapointingly the IKEA MYGGSPRAY's lux sensor is both inaccurate and slow. Time to tear it down to see if it improves when exposed directly to light.
Having some range issues with one of my zigbee blind issues. Nothing $30 on aliexpress can’t fix.
This is how I adapt zemismart blinds on to the blinds in my house. It’s just two M4x20mm bolts and hex nuts to space off the provided bracket.
Dear IKEA, why on god's green earth do you only sell a multi-pack of BILRESA in colours?
Please give me a three pack of white.
The IKEA BILRESA buttons report button presses over matter in a weird way. Single button presses get reported twice in home assistant. I'm not sure if this is a bug on IKEA's side or if these are meant to be button down and button up events.
First thread device I’ve setup is an IKEA BILRESA for individual blind control.
