I have it on good authority, be it a bit dated of a source, that Cleveland rocks.

When i say that imagination is the limit i mean it. I ordered some car seat pressure sensors and soldered them to either end of a door contact sensor and put them under our couch cushions. Now i have a battery powered, zigbee based, way to override the motion based automation if we’re on the couch. The lights stay on if we’re too still or they stay off if we’re napping and a pet walks in.

I watched a video where a guy used meshtastic to reach the back of his property and those radios can run on solar.

It is as vast and customizable as it gets. The sky, and your imagination, is the limit. I’ve been at it for years and i’m still tinkering with automations and services. It’s biggest strength, in my eyes, is being able to run everything local and off line. My advice is to start with zigbee so as to not congest your Wi-Fi traffic and add in zwave where the budget allows and range is needed.

When you come down from your high and you’re looking for your next hit check out home assistant.

The first few things that jump out to me are, the smoke isn’t coming out of the front stack, instead it’s coming out of a second stack thats more in the style of an older steam tractor. The second stack and subsequent second smaller steam engine are where a tender box should be. Worst of all is the illustration of the connecting rods/tie rods, i don’t think even a lazy human who’d gone so far as to make the whole image would get that sloppy drawing them so non uniform.

Even if you didn’t know much about steam locomotives spending more than 5 second absorbing and processing the contents of the image would tell you the smoke is in the wrong spot and the rods that make it go look bad. That is assuming you’ve seen a steam locomotive, which i imagine is the bulk of anyone with access to the internet.

I believe the go to recommendation now days is a reolink camara and frigate as your nvr os. My understanding is both can operate fully locally when blocked from accessing the internet at the firewall level.

I hope someone else knows a better way to do this because it would appear it is somewhat possible but not easy.

Subsonic servers, such as navidrome, offer the ability to “SyncPlayQueue” via api to specific players, but in the case of navidrome that does not included the web player or music assistant for home assistant (the later is an assumption as i was unable to find a setting to enable it).

For those who don’t care about home assistant they just need to find a player on the devices they want to transition music too and from that supports the feature.

For those who use home assistant and want to listen to music across devices you can transfer queue from within the music assistant player to a device added as a player or the app by picking “this device”. That only works if you’ve been playing music from your phone on a smart speaker, the music queue being played via web isn’t visible from the app and vice vera. It might be possible to set a web browser as a player to interact with but i imagine that would be a fragile setup at best.

Based on some older results i’ve found jellyfin isn’t set up to save play location in songs but if you ran the music folder as audio books it will. Not sure what that’ll do in regards to meta data but it’s only half the problem. I’d just as soon give up the time stamp memory if i could get playlist save state.

Credit where credit is do plexamp is the best option for what i want to achieve, I just hate having to authenticate through them and report the activity occurring between internal addresses.

I opened my server via web browser and started playing music and when i opened the app on my phone it didn’t show anything as playing. Either there’s a plugin i need to install, a setting i need to change, or it’s not an option with jellyfin.

So I understand this correctly, you’re using Fossify Calendar as the phone app that accesses your self-hosted calendar?

This was the second half of the fix that I needed. I filled this box with the address that shows when external connections would authenticate or play, and set “forwardfor” at the proxy, then the information came through. Thank you for this.

Turns out it was as simple as checking a box in my reverse proxy settings to enable “forwardfor” now to wait and see if the information actually gets passed through or if I have to do as NeryK suggests and enter the address in Jellyfin.
