Then I'd recommend turning off the DHCP server on the Asus router and enabling it on the PiHole... inside the PiHole DHCP server configuration set your routers IP as a gateway address, and set the PiHole address as the DNS. This way, PiHole will manage the IP addresses in your network, which might be a better option overall.
I'm an advanced Mikrotik user overall, one thing they had not been great about is WiFi but their networking capabilities have always been amazing but had a steep learning curve if you'd be using their more advanced options. Though Mikrotik has finally released their WiFi6 devices whose WiFi is finally getting competitive with other WiFi router manufacturers. I can recommend hAP AX2 or hAP AX3, and definitely check their Youtube channel for getting their tutorials.
Mikrotik is definitely my go-to recommendation if you also want to learn networking fundamentals because it's affordable and yet incredibly advanced whichever model you get because they all have pretty much the same RouterOS software within them. There's even more things to thinker about ever since the release of their RouterOS 7 which is now based on Linux 5 kernels compared to their old RouterOS 6 which was based on Linux 3 kernels.
You can even run PiHole on the Mikrotik router itself
Some devices get confused if there is only one DNS server provided by the DHCP... Maybe try setting your PiHole IP for both "Primary" and "Alternative" DNS server
The DHCP server pushes the DNS configuration to the clients. Is your Asus router running the DHCP server? If so, in DHCP configuration, set the DNS to point to your Pi-Hole
So can you explain to me in simple terms how the Doorbell, go2rtc, Frigate and HA are operating together? So I could at least know in what direction I should try and make them work together
Thanks for the suggestion, but still feels like a vague suggestion... will it work when there's only Android devices available? How do I add a camera to it when I don't have the HomeKit code to add the camera? I have no clue what to do
Reolink Doorbell with 2-way communication
Hello guys! I've tried tinkering for couple of hours to get this to work, but I haven't had much luck.
Using the Reolink Doorbell PoE camera with their official app haven't brought me much luck with it's 2-way communication... there's too much of a lag with about 5-10 seconds RTT and is often unstable. I thought it was because of my internet connection but I've gotten an FTTH recently and it's still the same.
I've managed to install HACS without issue, I've tried out the go2rtc and I wanted to get the Frigate card to work with it but with not much luck... I've tried Googling what other people have done but it can get so confusing and difficult to get some sense out of it and I end up making even less sense out of it in the end..
Did anyone had experience with it? What was your final solution to get the 2-way audio to work?
The only thing that comes to mind which would be our fault is a suboptimal internet connection when it comes to the Outlook not starting properly each time... but still not an excuse for it to get stuck in a background so we need a hacky solution like that shortcut I've made...
I will give that combo a shot for a couple of coworkers and see how they will react after a while. I've used K-9 2 years ago and it seemed fine, though my company also purchased us Nine Mail and was quite decent. Any thoughts/experiences?
Thanks for the info, I've started using Quad9 ever since I got fiber recently and tried a DNS benchmark tool and saw it's even faster than Cloudflare at my network
RPi Headless Internet Radio player with support for Home Assistant controls
Hello guys! I have a single M3U file with couple of Internet Radio stations which I'd like to have playing on an RPi with a couple of speakers connected to a 3.5mm. I have a Home Assistant instance running in my local network and it would be perfect if I could control it via automations.
Does anyone have an idea what the best setup would be?
Jellyfin has it's own plugins, but I had no interest in adding other services into Kodi. If you need those, better buy a popular Android device which are licensed for use with DRM services and you're done with it. Even Jellyfin has a good Android app but it's slow in development aspect and needs a lot of work to support all media types.
Yeah, I immediately thought of that too, but that's a relationship of an aunt and her nephew
I'm very glad it doesn't have... it shows time, it shows phones notifications, some minor issues will be solved with the updates but that's all I want and ask for 35€ (shipping and taxes for Croatia included). I bought it for that and to support such hardware development that offers transparency and doesn't bloat everything up
It still has bugs with the version 0.3.0 of you ask me... I use Navidrome and Sometimes music won't play until i switch songs back and forth a couple of times... Sonixd still provides smooth experience, I'm waiting for feishin to iron out the bugs
LibreOffice Draw does nice editing as well, I've just learned that recently
And PDF Arranger is very simple for rearranging, rotating, inserting, removing and rotating pages
How long do you have it? What's your average wearing time and conditions? I've just ordered mine and now I'm a bit afraid it won't last long? Though for the money I'll be happy if it lasts 2 years... heck, even a year would be okay I guess. I thought my only concern would be the battery, but seems this is now as well
