I’m gonna give you flak, but only for calling it flag :)

Really appreciate both responses, thank you and have a great day! :)

Thanks for the write up, really appreciate it :) Looking further I agree e-ink was a misplaced idea…

I’d like to reduce the number of potential fire points for this, so I’d look too spend $30 extra to have non battery powered devices if possible, but we’ll see.

Which rpi and screen if I may ask?

How do you manage battery bloat?

Yeah definitely a case by case situation of usefulness

Thanks for the comment! I did not have ESP32 on my radar at all until now.

I’m seeing a lot of AI slop articles on the HA forums, can you recommend any resources on the protocol, it’s control and anything to watch out for?

As annoying as this is, I agree. It’s a case of automate better or add a confirmation layer to the download decision.

The reason I don’t auto-DL anything yet is cos I’m too lazy to spend hours making sure it’s setup correctly.

Really nice to see how my setup compares to a standard. Thanks for setting this up, looking forward to the results :)

This is cool and if you feel like posting more updates in the future, I personally would appreciate it.

It mirrors my own entry into self hosting these last years. Funnest one for me was spending 5 hours trying to log into my server after my IP “upgraded” for me, after they replaced it with a system with which the settings can only be modified via an app… 😊

But you live and learn and wait for the next headache!

But it is still beans and people have the right to choose and the donation was significant.

Can you explain the issues with KeePass? Or is there another thread?
