  • You might just live on the edge of their range or something! Here in the SE US they are abundant

    I can head out to a nature trail, look off into the woods on one side, and spot 2-4 of these beauties suspended in webs from the same spot.

    Only ever had one in my yard, unfortunately she chose to build a web right above the porch door and gave us quite a fright

  • Thank you, and good suggestion! I installed grafana once last time and failed to get anything useful as I didn't invest enough time. Notifications sound great so I may look into the same combo you mentioned and see if I can wrangle it this time. Did you follow any particular guide when you started out with that? Otherwise I'll just dive into the google

  • Thanks! Too much spare time on the weekend, haha

    Good point, mine might be the same. I was linking things up from memory since it's been >1year since I last had the server interface up, and I can't remember how the modem was represented now that you mention it - I'll have to fix that up

  • Thanks for the hint, it's a good point. I need to check that my TV app store has it, I could see that being the catch.

    That being said, I have been learning that my TV's software is complete garbage and I may just go back to Android casting for TV control in general...

    I enjoy making diagrams, and I spent as much time on this as I did because my internet has been out for 2 days and counting and it was an offline tool I already had. Nevertheless, thanks for the link to a new tool to look at

  • You're definitely right, I'm going to remove the Hue hub and connect everything to the ConBee. They were separated before because Hue came first, and I didn't want to rebuild my lighting setup at the time. HA automations were set up to use Hue-side groups, rather than HA-side groups. The thought hadn't occurred to me yet that I can unify them now - but I definitely will.

    I did think I remembered that Hue bulbs don't work properly as ZigBee routers, but could be wrong there

    New house, new server - step 1: update diagram

    Hi all, new to Lemmy but this seems to be the best community for this that is decently active. Apologies if not!

    I got into home servers in my first house a couple years ago, but our stay in that house was unexpectedly brief and everything got put back into boxes. It's time to setup at the new place, and I have many improvements in mind from the first implementation - so while I wait for server parts to arrive, I decided to update the diagram for planning.

    In no order, here's a list of lessons I learned from V1:

    • The blade form factor doesn't work for me. I enjoyed getting one and learning about them, but my use cases are small (&quiet) enough that a tower and a small network rack works better.
    • In the quest for automatic home lighting, I shouldn't have gone all-in on smart bulbs rather than switches. There get to be too many in the house, and when a couple start inevitably failing, expensive bulbs and misplaced warranty info are a gigantic pain. So now the bulbs are just for speci

    Birding festival recommendations?

    Hello birders!

    I don't have a cool bird pic for you today, but I'm wondering if anyone has some recommendations for good birding festivals you know about? My wife and I are relatively new birders and have greatly enjoyed a couple festivals that we tried out, so I'd love to add the list of ones we should try to make it to.

    Would love to hear any mildly related stories as well!
