Goal here would be one zigbee network which is extended to satellite location over TCP.
But I was mainly trying to think how to extend Zigbee-network over TCP (without LoRaWAN).
Currently it seems to be almost impossible.
I think it is somewhat common situation, when home zigbee network does not reach e.g. garage or some other near-distance building. Usually there is some ethernet/wifi network on the satellite building. So distances what LoRaWAN can reach, are not probably even needed.
Read a bit about the implementation, but I think it is easier to just ask: Could this work over general TCP somehow?
One way is also to use HAOS but it is kinda limited.
Current stack for me is HA+traefik+Z2M+Frigate+Mosquitto. All running in containers, on top of Debian. Works perfectly.
I would not use WiFi cameras. Standard RTSP PoE h264 is the way to go.
brew install gnu-units
Not opensource hardware, but available immediately for order and ESPHome/Tasmota can be used as a firmwre.
I think graphile-worker as temporal.io 's little sibling.
Approx 15 years ago I was installing POS system to one second hand store. It was just a beginning of online authorizations and there were few issues with reliability of those that time. As testing was hard, I usually tested operations by trying to make 10kEUR transaction with my expired Visa Electron card. If it worked correctly, I got "denied" response back. It was some time in November when the installation happened. I tested transactions and those went through as approved. I canceled the transaction and cancel went through also. After few tests we found out that payment terminal had some weird demo credentials and finally we got that fixed.
Then, shop finally opened on January. Shop owner called me that their bank account has now negative balance. I joked something about the issue that why he calls me about that and I forgot the thong for few days. Then, after few days he called me again and said they have started police investigation about that fraud. On same evening, I was paying my personal bills and noticed that I had about 65kEUR too much money on my account. Sent immediately message to store owner that I probably have his money but I do not know why.
Well, next day I was suspect of fraud. I started to move money back to customer, but it was not possible for some reason on one tx, it was limited to 10kEUR/day. So it took like a week until customer had their money back.
So what happened: Normally payment terminal transactions expired after three months. Meaning that bank would reject if batch includes older. That was not case here, as there was exception that if same transaction has cancel transaction on same batch, then it is accepted. But, on some later process, they rejected all the normal transactions but accepted the cancels.
So there was real bug on some bank system and bank tried to force me to sign NDA that I would not tell about this issue. I did not see any reason to sign that but most probably they fixed that very soon.
Squeezeboxes are rather durable, probably will use those for many more years. Have been also collecting little replacement player stock :)
Wanted to evaluate esp32 -based player mainly for hacking purposes, but havent found yet time to work on those.
I can play music directly from my mobile Spotify (so supports Spotify Connect). I can see all my Squeezebox players there, combines synced players flawlessly.
Also plays local files. And also directly from youtube.
I have about 9 players on different rooms and could not be more happy with the setup.
If you would like to know any specific details, just ask. Happy to elaborate.
Yes, government could do things which prevent me doing so. Still, I am not capable to manage everything by myself and at the same time I think it is better to let things to be managed by (good) government than corporations.
Hard to predict but usually (lost) belief transforms to feelings/actions like resistance. And probably on that point there will be also others who will do the same.
I am actually not sure if I wanted this. I think this is better than current (specifically comparing to Finnish) state, but still far from optimal (mainly based on privacy concerns).
> Is it possible that [..] is tracked?
Yes. But I have The Great Belief that EU is _still_ one of the Goods. That may or may not last.
Still, it is very easy to exaggregate this (slippery slope) and at the same time it is too easy to understate this. Probably we - as citizens - should raise loudly these concerns and if we are not heard - then roundly refuse.
In Finland its totally opposite. We have 10 or so banks, which all have their own authentication methods and government has outsourced authentication to banks. And every authentication costs 0,10€ (it was previously much higher amount, something like 0,70€ but it is now [since 2017] limited by law).
So, I think at least in Finland banks will be the ones who will come up with several reasons why they should not implement this new authentication method.
If I understand correctly, it should do something what speedify does.
