Can second that email works great to send Epub, never had issues in years

I have used darktable, but doesn’t seem to fill your need as it is more a lightroom replacement than Photoshop https://www.darktable.org/

I’m not 100% sure but this might also depend which OS you are running on your pi. Did change from SD card to SSD few years back for my home assistant setup (now running with a mini pc) at the time I went for a geekpi adapter (can’t recall exact model).

Try a quick ducduck search “sata adapter #yourOS#” and see if a list come up. Here is one for HA (but surely more models are compatible than the ones listed here) https://community.home-assistant.io/t/working-usb-enclosures-and-adapters-with-hassos/212763

Edit: as for SSD, I went for Samsung EVO model

Sidenote: all SSD will be more reliable than a sd card because they are less sensitive to rewrite counts

I don’t see why you think those are web based, usually people run this at home but glad you find what you are looking for

As far as photo librabry, you can compare the different solutions at https://github.com/meichthys/foss_photo_libraries

Relying on 4 nvme drive for low power isn’t ideal as nvme drive needs about twice more power compare to sata SSD.

On your Xiaomi first time you launched app, you can determine wether you always allow or allow on prompt (but you should still be able to manage that setting afterwards). You also need to disable battery optimization for that app and set app to be able to auto launch in background. This is at least what I do with my home assistant app to determine GPS location in background (app record every 15mn) and no issues with battery draining.

They do have hub (probably pi like hub) with ZigBee and/or zwave but best to use a small nuc (or similar) and get a ZigBee dongle. Will be a bit more expensive but worth it. Have no idea about pricing for subscription service but I’m not sure they can even match the power of home assistant automation capabilities.

A complete and affordable setup that will merge anything you want inside a single app will be by using home assistant. But while it is much easier to setup and maintain than a few years ago, selling the house will require new owner to have a few tech knowledge. You also have to make sure that your setup is designed to be used by all family whatever there age and knowledge (and it isn’t always simple)

Describing everything available that would make it a perfect place will take a very very long comment but here are some hint, look at ethernet cameras instead of wifi, ZigBee and zwave instead of wifi for most of the devices as those protocols are designed for smart homes unlike wifi, use as less as possible cloud base solution.

As a starter, you can check for temperatures/humidity sensors, contact sensors for doors/windows, automated curtains, switches, presence detection, lights, leak detectors, weather station, energy monitoring,…

Don’t have particular case to recommend as the one I have has been printed but get one where you can add an SSD. SD card are not well suited for home assistant due to the amount of overwriting.

So pc is consuming 13W, this is with one nvme + one SSD, pic at 30w for a few seconds at boot.

Curious, might have same machine but do consume a bit more, do you have one SSD + one nvme?

It is a beelink mini s12 pro https://www.bee-link.com/beelink-mini-s12-pro-n100-mini-pc-clone-1

Do also have a n100 processor running proxmox with 3 VM. Can’t try right now but can come back in a few days to let you know how much power it draws

Don’t have knowledge to answer your question but you could check how home assistant does it, I think that should point you to the right direction.

Exactly, neither fit right for an AI

Think it depends the language, in french gpt is very very close to “j’ai pété” which means “I farted”. But, yeah agree that Claude ain’t much better name

If I were you, I would try to disable some/all of the image features your TV has in settings. Could be those settings that create soap opera effect.

I’m not 100% sure but I have always read that playing movie at higher frame rate than source doesn’t make video looking better. To get best results, it is adviced to have your screen frame rate matching the one from source. That being said, can’t tell you how to achieve this on linux since I only watch stuff on TV using shield TV as a player.

If z2m, zwavejs,… Are installed from the adon store of HA, all you have to do is create a full backup of HA, and all your automations will be saved and restored automatically.
