The trouble for me was always getting people to use the controllers. I had some success with some family members using bubbleupnp on their Android phones. But the separation between sources, renderers and controllers is a little confusing for non technical people

DLNA is going to be your best bet, but it’s such a deep and convoluted rabbit hole. There’s a lot of ways to configure a setup.

Ubiquiti unifi g4 doorbell works great for me with home assistant. But it’s a bit of an upgrade as you would need all the supporting hardware as well.

Thanks for answering, I didn’t see this.

The homeassist app let’s you do that.

Exactly, a millennial has now clue about the newfangled kids stuff. Just hit “close friends”

I have a box with 10 old laptops that I keep around, just for that. Unreal tournament 2004, Insane, Brood Wars and all the Id classics. I don’t get to set it up a lot, but when I do it’s always a hit.

Could you add a fan at the exhaust end to create an ever present, gentle, negative pressure to encourage the air to flow that way?

Acinfiniti makes duct fans that have a temperature sensor and when it detects the change in temperature it turns the fan on. I took one apart and used the sensor, pcb and fan in a different project without problems.

I have one of these with normal sprinkler system valves. opensprinkler.com/. Works great with home assistant.

I have a few airthings pluses. They’re pricey, but work with ha and flawlessly. And they measure just about everything you can.

I’m surprised there no comments riffing with honeydew something… I just can’t think of one.

I’ve been using an open garage device I ordered from https://opengarage.io/ for years. It works great with home assistant or by itself. (their opensprinkler control is great too)

It’s doable. Personal experience

Couldn’t you leverage i2p or tor?

Sigh. Their hearts are in the right places…
