Yup. One for the network equipment and another for the servers in the rack.
This is one area I need to upgrade. Lithium batteries ?

This look looks great, thanks for the info and update.Sure. I've just started redoing my dashboards and I've separated some things into one of the new "Sections" style dashboards to give me more flexibility.
This is my progress so far on the first one.

As you can see the Geyserwise card is wider than the original I posted which allows me to make the time span longer too.

Very active community, of course.How is Home Assistant these days. Have been running OH2 for a while now and it's time for a change. With every upgrade they always break something and the learning curve is too steep.
What's the leaning curve like with HA? Looked at it a few years ago and it didn't look too impressive but that was a while back.
Looking at installing it on proxmox.
No issues my side since installing on a old windows laptop and I install HA updates regularly.How is Home Assistant these days. Have been running OH2 for a while now and it's time for a change. With every upgrade they always break something and the learning curve is too steep.

No, two really cheap Eaton units. They're only there as a buffer for the inverter switch over, which is just slightly too long for the power supply in my DAS. Technically don't need the one on the networking gear but I had it already so may as well use it.This is one area I need to upgrade. Lithium batteries ?
I have one of those cheap Eatons but it runs the whole rack and is woefully under powered, probably need to split network vs compute in terms of the UPSNo, two really cheap Eaton units.

Its been very stable for me - i actually haven't tinkered with it in ages because it just works. There are some breaking changes when you upgrade but these are very well documented . There is a Core update monthly and the integrations usually follow a similar upgrade cycle as well.How is Home Assistant these days. Have been running OH2 for a while now and it's time for a change.

Cheapest is to get a DS18B20 from eg CommunicaWhats my best bet to monitor roof top temperature (where my pool heating panels are)?
I was thinking of either using a TH16 with temp sensor - or - a Sonoff ZigBee Temperature sensor in a water proof box. There's a Zigbee repeater right below the metal sheeting (about 1m away)
I'd like to do away with weather forecasts for my pool automation.
Home Assistant is honestly so far ahead of anything else at the moment. It's also been rock solid stable for me.Thanks. Sounding promising. I have a range of devices - Google Nest, Alexa, various MQTT temp sensors, Ring Alarm - the list goes on. So will look into setting these all up.
Used a script and setup the image already on proxmox - 5 mins work.
It really depends what devices you have.Are there any must have integrations that I should install?
Mushroom cards for dashboard design although Bubble cards are also gaining popularityA few hours later...
Philips Hue and Ring Alarm was a 10 minute job.
Google...FU! Try and add my Google Nest. I need to pay a once off $5 for dev access. Then I need to migrate my Nest account to Google. Google...sorry we don't support GSuite accounts. WTF? Really! Your own system and you don't support it.
Created a new gmail account and setup everything again (and again have to pay another $5 for dev access for the new account)
Finally working.
Are there any must have integrations that I should install?
Once. Just wait a day for their cache to clear. New caching on v2Anyone have an issue with the new version of HACs, where updates don't apply? It say update available, you click update, sometimes need to restart, and then awhile later the same update needs to apply (for integrations/themes)
