What webapps do you selfhost that aren't media/game servers? (lemm.ee)

Since selfhosted clouds seem to be the most common thing ppl host, i'm wondering what else ppl here are selfhosting. Is anyone making use of something like excalidraw in the workplace? Curious about what apps that would be useful to always access over the web that aren't mediaservers.

Home assistant is lights, switches, sensors, blinds, fans, heat/cooling, and more. I have an automation that tells me 5 minutes after the wash is done so I can move laundry into the dryer, and another one that tells me if anyone left the back door open, telling me to close it. (My dog can open it from outside).

How’d you do the laundry one?

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've got a tp-link smart plug that monitors power. The automation triggers when it draws less than a watt (a few minutes after it completes the cycle, it turns off). I have the duration set to 5m, so a slower soak cycle shouldn't trigger it (not tested yet).

Hmm. Wonder if I can do this with my Eve plug.

What are you using for the automation?

Thanks :-)

Home assistant, it's a standard trigger in the automations... Trigger type: power.

Copying the yml is a pain on the phone

Edit:
mode: single Might be important, it feels important.

Thanks; it’s been an interesting four months with HA.

I’ve setup the smart outlets for laundry notifications and even built a (to me) fairly complex automation for when my child gets out of bed at night (triggers different lights and alerts based on time).

[–] Tolookah@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 9 months ago

Nice! My most used automation is a verbal "door is open, please close the door" on my back door, when it's been left open for about a minute. Our dog can let herself in the house (like a velociraptor from Jurassic Park) and still refuses to close the door behind her.

Besides using the power consumption there are also various ways to integrate smart devices - e.g. Bosch Siemens HomeConnect directly and let "the house" react to it. For the later a "no cloud" local integration has become available as well.
