Take a look at the home assistant voice preview device.

It has a 3.5mm jack out to connect to better speakers. You should be able to integrate some aspect of audio playback.

From the FAQ

Can I play music on this device?

Yes, if you plug an external speaker into the 3.5mm audio port. The built-in speaker is meant for voice feedback and is not optimized for listening to music, but the included DAC is capable of playing lossless audio on a suitable external speaker. We recommend using Music Assistant to control music playback.

Good to know, thanks!

I’m not sure about self hosted specific. There is a device called WiiM. Works with most of the major streaming services. I believe they’re also working on plexamp integration too.

Could you do line of sight with a long distance recording unit?

Por que no los tres?

I’m guessing the author is getting some kind of referral to send them to that other site that hosts grafana. Because home assistant has a 3rd party app for grafana built in. Granted it would be a few more steps than they outlined, but it’s also not sending your data to some random company.

No particular reason. Just chose one and went with it.

FYI, for step 3 you should be able to do a “docker compose pull” with the same effect.

Edit: and on step 8.2, to minimize down time, you can also do the pull before stopping the containers.

I feel like I have the same or similar issue, but I’m using synapse server with element app. If I’m on mobile sometimes I don’t get my notifications at all until I’m back on Wi-Fi, then a steam of them.

Or to keep things fresh, only keep the oldest 100gb.

There’s always money in the milk stand (wink wink)!

That was part of why I stick with it. Does exactly what I need to to do and nothing more. It also works with my watch for reminders and confirmation of taking the pills.

It’s a pretty simple interface.

I use take-your-pill

Not released on any store and near as in I can tell has no telemetry.

Not sure about at rest encryption, but I just label my pill with the first letter or two.

Pretty old project, but it’s pretty well done and doesn’t need a whole lot of the “new” features.

I like that I can keep getting reminded as I don’t always take it right when I need to.

For a minute I thought the kid was pooping in the top of the cat tree.

Not that I’m aware of, but I’m not as knowledgeable as someone else. I’m hoping some quick research or someone better can help. If I remember I can look later on this evening, but can’t at the moment.

Someone more knowledge than me can correct me, but I’m pretty sure you could buy a newer bigger drive to replace an older drive. You obviously wouldn’t get the full capacity as it would be limited by the other older slower drives. However, you would get a, theoretically, more reliable drive than a random one on eBay. Then as you replace older drives eventually you could have increased size.

Caveat is that it will put stress on the old drive to rebuild, however you’d get that with any drive you put in. General wisdom I saw says to replace all the drives. Although that can be expensive.

I’m any case make sure you have a backup before you do any of the changes.
