I was thinking about building device as well. I wouldn’t mind adding webhooks, or maybe even home assistant integration. I would need to know more about device itself to find the way to do it tho.
Do you have in mind ideal device and workflow? I’m interested also in 3D modeling and 3D printing, but I’m not sure what kind of device is best for that use case yet. I don’t know anything better than using phone alarm as reminder, but feels like dedicated device could fill that role perfectly. Phone alarm doesn’t require internet connection, its quite stable and you always have it with you, its hard to beat that lol.
Btw, before device comes to life, this app might help already! At least you can check if your dad took meds, by counting how many left and comparing that with number in MedAssist.
Thank you mate. I’m happy to share
Thx, Ill check it out
Thank you!
Thx!
I dont know how to build mobile app, at least not yet. It should work fine on mobile browser tho, it looks good enough on my phone. Did you try opening the page on your phone?
I was thinking about mobile reminders. Before this app I made a same thing under home assistant. I have made automations for android notifications, I also made another automation that sets alarms on Android device every morning. I ended up not using them since built in clock alarms work every time and dont rely on anything. I’m considering that anyway and I might give it a shot soon
Yeah it will be faster, but its extra step before the files get available on HDD.
Even if my HDD is super fast and healthy it would still be a bottleneck for 2Gbps fiber? Ill deffo play with HDD more to find max speeds, wasnt paying attention before because it felt normal to me
Are you also talking about incomplete directory in qbit? Doesnt make it faster afaik, but I might be wrong. I havent tried anything yet, wanted to check is it something usual or not worth at all. Got zero experience with using SSD as catch drive, it just made sense to me
But that would first download to SSD, then move to HDD and then become available (arr import) on jellyfin server, making it slower than not using SSD. Am I missing something?
You create a folder on one device and share it with other device. Both can edit files if you set the folder type as “Send & Receive”. If you edit the same file at the same time you will end up with 2 copies

2·2 years agoYeah, I have filter box and back preassure flap, but there might be something better that Im not aware off.

From let to right: filter box, flap, flexible tube
I also fitted carbon and heppa filter in the box

1·2 years agoNot the best option, but still doable. Hooking into neighbours hood could be possible if I implement the same thing on both hoods since they want to solve the problem more than us. Its like 7m distance and I could guide the cable trough the tube.
TBH Id live to learn how to fix back flow valve or buy better one if it exists. The thing is, all valves simmilar to mine are not made to stop smell afaik. And hood is not strong enough for water tight valves, at least others told me that

1·2 years agoPlease explain more, both answers sound usefull, but not sure exactly what you mean. What kind of damper? Do you have example pic or link?

1·2 years agoI could install this kind of fan

I was thinking about this, but feels confusing how to sync it with extractor fan. Not sure if it should be on or off while our hood is running, and would it reduce air flow too much. I dont think temp sensor is optimal for this, but I might be wrong. Some guys mentioned air mass and air quaility sensors which feels better I think

1·2 years agoI should test if air temperature is high enough after 5-6 m of vertical travel. If you know any device that can do that please link. Unless you are talking about full DIY?

1·2 years agoThe simple way is to use a fan or blower limit switch
Is this temperature controlled? Im not sure if temperature would be best since appartment is 2 floors below me and air might cool down? I might be wrong.
Mass airflow sensor sounds like it should work. Ill research more









If you need something right now, check my other github project - its home assistant version of MedAssist. Its not well documented, but you can find automations that trigger on schedule, dashboard page with preview and config page to update quantity, sending email reorder reminder, sending android critical notifictions or setting android alarms every morning for that day. I abandonded that basically as soon as MedAssist came to life, but It was working great for quite a long time. Anyway, Im quite confident this project will be able to talk to homeassistant at some point.
About tracking “taken”, I need to figure how to track reliably enough to make it worth, but Ill deffo keep looking
