Mine is Local Send which is a FOSS alternative similar to air drop that works across a variety of devices.

    HomeAssistant, it’s such an awesome Tool. You want to combine your plant sensors with air quality sensors and an plant light? Easily done. You want to forward your mastodon follower count to an mqtt-LED-Pixel-Clock? No problem.

    It’s just an amazing piece of software.

      My favorite thing I’ve done with hass is put a color-changing light bulb by my front door. It’s connected to the weather forecast. I know what the weather will be at a glance without a website or going outside. (Where I live, it’s not always obvious when I’m gonna get rained on.)

      Oh nice I was wondering if there was like an all in one place to put my shitty automations. I’ve been oddly fixated on automating my blinds.

      Pretty cool, I use it as well. Works with basically everything thanks to the big community.

      I just wish it allowed for proper programming of the automations. I despise the YAML-as-code hack they are using. I get it, it’s much easier to offer a GUI editor for such a format. It feels very limited and cumbersome compared to regular programming though.

      Yeah, as far as FOSS I almost actually can’t live without: HomeAssistant controls my spring pump to the cistern so that the pipes don’t freeze.
