Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

I would suggest you to use Node Red as backend and Home Assistant as frontend. With Node Red you have a very robust system that survives years of updates without problem (I've been running for...mmm...maybe 7/8 years and no update have ever broken anything, while I read all over stories of Home Assistant breaking over updates). Node Red has node for about anything, you can make your home automation product/brand independent using MQTT, so Node Red collects all the sensors/actuators and sends to HA what's needed. If tomorrow you'll change a device, all you have to do is connect a couple of nodes and use the same MQTT topic as you did with the previous device (I don't know if I explained myself...sorry!) If tomorrow you'll want to switch from HA to something else, it will be pretty easy with Node Red in the back! All of this, clearly, IMHO!
great sell, gonna try moving my integrations to node red later!
