I'm sorry to hear that. I know what you feel, I had a few of those days a few weeks ago... Things change, everything pass.

I hope you the best, good luck!

I'm really thinking about starting from scratch. The rabbit hole kind of scares me but at the same time it's exciting 😂.

I think I have room to grow in the new home and I always try to get things with local integration and as open source as possible.

My setup right now is in a small flat, with 3 or 4 automations and a very small amount of sensors. The new home is going to be very very different. I have a lot of plans, maybe too many of them. So maybe staying from scratch is the way to go.

Thanks for your input

Same thing is happening to me. I even have some old stuff from Android devices that no longer exist and your comment just reminded me about it. I think I might start from scratch saving what I think is worth.

Thanks

That is why I'm thinking about starting from scratch. I'm going from a small flat to a house and everything is going to change A LOT. I'd like to move HA from the pi4 to a small home server but that's for later, I have too many thing in my plate right now.

Thanks for your input!

Thanks! I have a few answers with same suggestion, will check all this out!

I love the graphs and the seeing how every variable make changes in what I'm measuring.

But that is just me

Nice idea! Will study the possibility in my pool. Thanks!

That looks amazing. But it's out of my budget right now. Thanks for the suggestion!

I've been thinking about the DIY route for some time but creating a water and weather proof enclosure it's not easy.

Same here, I've been using an aqara ZigBee sensor for more than two years and it works great.

I designed 3d printed rain proof enclosure and it's been reporting outdoor temperature and humidity for more than two years with no problem.

The worst part for me is the changing the battery. The sensor is on a hard to reach place and my design is not the best, so I fear when the battery gets low.

I was planning to build something like this for the rain.

Thank you! Just checked it and it looks really nice. How do you integrate it with home assistant? I've been checking the inkbird integration and it seems to be Bluetooth only. I'm afraid Bluetooth is not an alternative, the HA server is in the basement and is not going to reach the pool by Bluetooth
