My home server is a Proxmox machine with some VM one of which is Open Media Vault from which a Windows PC plays videos to my TV. I want to get rid of the Windows PC and connect the TV directly to the server with an HDMI+USB RJ45 extender, but...how do I get a GUI from it? Is it even possible? I would need to connect to a Windows VM because for what I know Netflix only plays 4K videos with Edge. Thanks!

Hi all! I've been looking for a selfhosted system that can monitor one or more email accounts and check if a certain email with a particular subject arrives every day (or every x hours) and alert me if it doesn't (or if the subject is different). I need this to check if backups from different PC have run or not. The best thing would be to integrate it with Uptime Kuma. Any idea? Thanks!

Edit: I'm switching all my backup software to Restic (Autorestic on Linux machines) so I can send a ping to Uptime Kuma when every single backup successfully ends.

I've just discovered OmniGPT that seems to be a chat where you can interact with different LLM (Claude, GPT-4, Llama, Gemini, etc.) and costs $16/month (it was $7/month until a week ago 🤦‍♂️). I've read on a Reddit post that it uses the APIs of all the provider that is a thing that can be done for free using a personal account (since the API limit seems to be high). Do you know something like OminGPT that can be self hosted that uses users API keys?

Hi all! What do you think is the best chatbot to use for suggestion/learning vvvv, TouchDesigner and similar software? I will be using it also to check/suggestion on JavaScript/Python scripts. One where I can upload a file and let it analyze it would be very nice.

I have some sensors like this one:

  - name: "Sala"
    unique_id: "temp_sala"
    state_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/temp_sala"
    value_template: "{{ value_json.temperature }}"
    unit_of_measurement: "°C"

Those sensors publish the battery status too, how can I add it? Thanks!

I have created this climate:

- name: "Riscaldamento"
  unique_id: "termostato"
  modes:
    - "off"
    - "heat"
    - "cool"
  mode_command_topic: "home/riscaldamento_raffrescamento/TEST/mode/set"
  mode_state_topic: "home/riscaldamento_raffrescamento/TEST/mode/state"
  temperature_command_topic: "home/riscaldamento_raffrescamento/TEST/temp/set"
  current_temperature_topic: "home/riscaldamento_raffrescamento/TEST/temp/state"
  power_command_topic: "home/riscaldamento_raffrescamento/TEST/pump/set"
  payload_on: 1 
  payload_off: 0
  min_temp: 17
  max_temp: 28
  temp_step: 0.1
  precision: 0.1

thinking that the power_command_topic would be sent whenever the temperature would go over/under the one set, but nothing ever get send to that topic. How can I turn on the pump when the temperature goes under the one set and turn it off when it goes over?

Hi all, I've been using Domoticz for years and I've finally decided to move to HA. In Domoticz I could have a timer (fixed date, every days, every x days, and so on) for every single entity, in HA how I can do that? Thanks!

Hi all, I'm pretty new to HA and Frigate. When I installed the cameras (they are all vertical, 9:16), they were correct, I could see all the vertical images. Since about a week they are all shrinked in a 16:9 images/videos, even if they are 9:16

What the heck is going on? Thanks!

I have a couple of home server, both with Proxmox as hypervisor, one VM with Ubuntu 22.04 that does just Docker containers, one with Open Media Vault, one with Home Assistant (HA OS) and a couple of Windows VM to do some tests. Since I wanted to move from OMV, right now I see 2 options:

• stay with Proxmox and find another NAS OS
• use Unraid as NAS and hypervisor

What other option would you suggest?

I'm pretty new to HA. I've set it up and I keep editing the confirmation and everytime I restart to apply the changes, all the switches, sensors and even the thermostat lose their values. The most annoying is the thermostat (classic thermostat entity) because I have to turn it on selecting heat/cool and set the temperature. Is there a way to keep all these values across restarts?

Edit: I'm using HA OS on Proxmox. All the sensors and switches slowly goes back to "normal" as soon as they publish their state, apart from some entities that have values provided by HA itself and not by the devices (like the thermostat).

Every time I try to access this community, ther's some kind of problem with the server. If you have a look at the status page, it's almost all orange/red. The problem aren't DDoS attack since the server is behind Cloudflare protection. Admin/mods, why don't you move this community to a different ~~server~~ instance? I'm not accusing anybody, I know that maintain a server can be a challenging sometimes, I just want to enjoy this community!

Please!

@Loki

This instance happens ti be down quite often. Why do the admin doesn't close the subscription and focus to keep the instance stable? It's not like there will be blocked outside Lemmy, there ar plenty of instances out there. From outside (and IMHO) it seems a power hungry needs (sorry,bI don't know if this does make sense in English). This is a question (that I hope will flow to a good conversation), NOT an attack.
