I use an Ecowitt weather station and sensors inside and out.

And I use weewx on a Raspberry Pi to publish that data. Weewx also has a mqtt plugin so I created a weather topic and transmit all the sensors onto it.

Then I created all those sensors in HA :)

Unless you're a weather nerd and wanna go that route there's probably better ways. I was already using Ecowitt devices independent of my smart home stuff.

A number of esp32 based devices have temp sensors too. Or gpio pins to add a 1wire or 3wire sensor.

For what? I'm using Nextcloud self hosted on unraid and exposed via Nginx Proxy Manager for external access for storage.

Works fine.

I have not upgraded to the 2025 HA yet because of the backup drama of the first release. Probably will this weekend now that the major issues were addressed.

Unrelated to this topic but also zigbee2mqtt v2 seems to be a nightmare too I'm not ready to deal with that "upgrade"

Not sure if your messing or not :) but this is a Focus RS!

I am now in life where I could probably acquire one but they're just not many unmolested ones left. Not sure I'd try at this point

That's awesome, even though I think I'd stick to Nissan power :)

Ya, I certainly have lusted for an old 240 tasteful modernized!

One that got away was the FD RX7. 1993-1995 in the US.

I mostly own my current dream car even though I've had it 8 years now

They could just pull their extensions from chrome and focus on Firefox

And why the old "ice boxes" are top load only. And why most boat fridges/freezers are top-load, because energy is scares/finite when disconnected from power.

I'm the same but clearly got lazy and either ok'd it or It still snuck past since it was installed on my phone.

Ya, so elon doesn't care... He's literally dismantling the united states right now and enjoying every minute of it. Also, anecdotally it still feels like those things (teslas) are everywhere around here. There's even a few cybertrucks driving around. Saw one on my way home, and another person with one works at a company just down the road.

Our very own Lex Luthor.

And here I am with windows 11 compatible hardware refusing that upgrade. I'm primarily in Linux on my desktop these days, but it dual boots into windows 10.
