🎤 Oh, look! It's a groundbreaking innovation: voice dictation for #macOS that uses Apple's own tools and doesn't require an internet connection. 🚀 Because clearly, the world was desperately craving yet another way to talk to their computers without the convenience of cloud. 😂

🦎 New release of TerrariumPI is out. Version 4.16.0. 🥳 🎉

A nice summer release 🌞

Still adding more hardware support, and some nice GUI updates to make it all more smoother and professional 😜

Read all about it at https://theyosh.github.io/TerrariumPI/posts/2026/06/23/release-terrariumpi-v-4-16-0/

#TerrariumPI #Reptiles #RaspberryPI #CloudFree #HomeAutomating

Yesterday I installed the first of two devices which will allow me to have cloud-free automation control of our HVAC systems. We have Mitsubishi heat pumps and air handlers (similar to a traditional 'central air' system but vastly more efficient), and of course Mitsubishi offers their 'Kumo Cloud' system for automation. There are various integrations for Home Assistant to connect to Kumo Cloud, and it has a mobile app, but I don't want a vendor-managed cloud service in the path.

I used an ESPHome component called mUART which contains code for the mostly-undocumented-but-heavily-reverse-engineered protocol that these units speak on their UART ports. I also used some really nice boards named MahtanarM made by one of the primary authors of the ESPHome integration. The software is FOSS, the hardware is not 'open hardware' but it's quite simple, and these boards are not required they are just a quick and easy way to get things connected. One of the benefits this particular ESPHome component (there are at least four out there) is that it supports pass-through so the Mitsubishi wireless thermostat/controller continues operating normally - this is important for the Spousal Acceptance Factor.

This now the third such integration I've installed. I also have our LiftMaster garage door opener using the 'ratgdo' ESPHome component instead of the MyQ cloud, and our Rheem water heater using the 'econet' ESPHome component instead of the EcoNet cloud. All of this is FOSS, and the hardware to make the connections is simple and inexpensive.

О, кажуть, що деякі розробники IoT пристроїв, а саме зігбі, чомусь не заплатили вчасно туї, китайський компанії, тому їх пристрої не підключаються до екосистеми 💩 туя

Раджу навіть не дивитися на тую, чи їх пристрої. Максимум ті, котрі є вразливі до оновлень, щоб прошити вільну систему, наприклад ESPHome/Tasmota #tuya #zigbee #esphome #homeassistant #cloudfree

Instead of #selfhosted servers it'd be nice if software was #CloudFree and #P2P

Not only should we not ve reliant kn centralized corporate hosting, we should be able to just use whatever devices we have on hand without extra server maintenance.

@sambowne A real "smart" home should never rely on cloud services and #homeassistant is simply consequent in contuing to drive this road to ensure your #smarthome continues to work even though a vendor decides to shutdown its cloud service. And we at #RaspberryMatic are doing exactly the same for the #homematicIP #smarthome world… Thus, 2023 will hopefully also be a year of more #CloudFree endeavors like this!

@encbladexp Mach es doch gleich richtig und steig von einer Cloud-basierten Lösung (die jederzeit vom Hersteller deaktiviert werden kann) auf eine rein lokale #CloudFree Lösung wie #CCU/#RasperryMatic um. Diese kommt dann auch gleich mit verschiedensten APIs daher um deine #HomeMatic/#hoemmaticIP Geräte überall anzubinden und die im Grunde fast keine Wünsche offen lässt. Ein Cloud-basiertes #smarthome ist eben im Grunde fast nie eine smarte Lösung!

Welcome Mastodon.

This is our #introduction. #RaspberryMatic is an #OpenSource operating system alternative for all your #HomeMatic / #homematicIP #IoT #SmartHome gear

In contrast to the vendors own cloud solution it operates #CloudFree so that your #OpenHome stays alive even if the vendor goes away

RaspberryMatic can be operated on various platforms like #RaspberryPi or virtual solutions like #Proxmox #Docker or as an add-on in #HomeAssistant
