Kelly Guimont<p>Attention nerds: I had an idea last week that I could use a static site generator to make a wee baby website for all my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/smarthome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>smarthome</span></a> nonsense and now I am wondering if this is something my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/raspberrypi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>raspberrypi</span></a> 4 can manage alongside the Homebridge it does now.</p><p>I'd also like to know which one is the easiest to use because the point is not to fiddle with the site, I just want to use it.

Und wieder zwei Shellies (Shelly 1PM Mini) installiert. Die „Taster-Only-Policy“ im kompletten Haus muss ja gewährleistet sein. 🤓

Bei der Installation hatte ich kurz den Gedanken, dass es eventuell ein kleines bisschen übertrieben sein könnte sogar im Keller jedes Licht über das Smarthome zu steuern.

Die Zweifel waren aber schnell wieder verschwunden, weil alles ist besser mit Taster und Automatisierungen. 🙃

I wonder how many signatures we could get for an EU initiative that would require manufacturers to sell same quality "dumb" counterparts to their regular "smart" offerings of appliances and electronics, at the same or lower price.

Dumb TVs, washing machines, coffee makers, toothbrushes, etc. that would not require apps, wifi, bluetooth, phoning home, ads, etc.

Remove anything extra that is not required for the core use case of the product.
