  • I don’t use HA but FHEM and what I do to retrieve data from my homecontrol is using a telegram bot.

    In telegram you can setup buttons when formatting messages, so my bot shows me the control menu with predefined actions. One action is to show my power consumption at home.

    There is no need to open ports as the telegram bot polls the same way you cell phone does.

    Also the bot only communicates to known clients that I predefined before, so nobody can see or control my home network.

    Maybe something similar is possible in HA.



  • While on an fairphone where a “normal” user can change various parts himself it makes sense, how does this workout on a pixel or any other “not for selfrepair” built device?

    A screen module of the fairphone is 70€, so you drop it and change the screen yourself. Continuing to use it.

    More than 4/5 years updates with batteries dying due to fast/ultra charged cycles doesn’t make sense in my point of view.

    They will for sure require original parts installed in the manufacturer repair shop.
