Amazon hasn’t ruined invincible. I’d argue it’s better than the comics and each season it’s better than the last.

I don’t know if this is true but i once read that when classifying lighter-than-air ships they broke them down into two categories. A rigid and B limp and that’s where the name blimp comes from.

Sonos speakers will miss the mark on price, they’re fairly expensive, but have a home assistant integration and can be blocked at the firewall from accessing the internet making them 100% local. I was lucky to get a couple on sale when ikea stopped carrying them and their quality can’t be beat.

Using home assistant and a smart speaker i’ve done what you’re wanting to do. Added bonus is when going to bed I press a button to turn off most of my automations and the same button to turn them on in the morning. That way if my sleep cycle changes on the fly the chimes change with it. I’ve also got the added bonus of being able to use whatever chime or sounds i want.

But that’s probably overkill for what you want, unless you want to pick up the hobby of home automation.

I’ve lost count of the number of times and number of formats in which i’ve consumed The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy and i’ve loved it every time.

I have a few Reolink POE cameras(and poe doorbell) with an old mini pc running frigate, all on a battery backup so if the power goes for a bit the cameras and recording don’t. I also have a coral tpu installed in the mini pc.

All of my cameras are blocked at the firewall from leaving the network and they function fully, 100% local. When i plugged in the poe cable the cameras grabbed an ip address and you can interact with them through that.

As others have said there is also a home assistant integration for reolink that let’s you import and control the cameras from within home assistant as well as a frigate integration. I prefer having frigate on it’s own box so when i need to reboot home assistant my cameras are still recording.

Once it’s all set up you can have live video feed for each camera accessible within home assistant, on your dashboard if you like, as well as access to clips and continuous recordings depending on frigate configuration and storage capacity.

An option no doubt but there’s two reasons i’d not want to go that route unless necessary. First, i already have the device on hand and would like to find a solution to what i currently have. Two, i’d like to keep zone based motion if i’m able. Second of these can still be achieved by getting more sensors and blocking them into the zones i want but for one of my current sensors i’d have to buy three new ones.

The thought had crossed my mind but i’d still like to zone if i could.

The alarm went off so i turned it off.

Since you’ve got an open outlet you should consider putting a dehumidifier next to it with a drain that empties into the sump.

I hope someone else knows a better way to do this because it would appear it is somewhat possible but not easy.

Subsonic servers, such as navidrome, offer the ability to “SyncPlayQueue” via api to specific players, but in the case of navidrome that does not included the web player or music assistant for home assistant (the later is an assumption as i was unable to find a setting to enable it).

For those who don’t care about home assistant they just need to find a player on the devices they want to transition music too and from that supports the feature.

For those who use home assistant and want to listen to music across devices you can transfer queue from within the music assistant player to a device added as a player or the app by picking “this device”. That only works if you’ve been playing music from your phone on a smart speaker, the music queue being played via web isn’t visible from the app and vice vera. It might be possible to set a web browser as a player to interact with but i imagine that would be a fragile setup at best.

Based on some older results i’ve found jellyfin isn’t set up to save play location in songs but if you ran the music folder as audio books it will. Not sure what that’ll do in regards to meta data but it’s only half the problem. I’d just as soon give up the time stamp memory if i could get playlist save state.

Credit where credit is do plexamp is the best option for what i want to achieve, I just hate having to authenticate through them and report the activity occurring between internal addresses.

I opened my server via web browser and started playing music and when i opened the app on my phone it didn’t show anything as playing. Either there’s a plugin i need to install, a setting i need to change, or it’s not an option with jellyfin.

The joke is solid but if those are spoon tomatoes then next year you’re getting over ran by them. They’re self propagating and spread like a weed. Third summer in a row of not planting them and they still come back with a vengeance.

“We’re all mad here” At me?

So I understand this correctly, you’re using Fossify Calendar as the phone app that accesses your self-hosted calendar?

This was the second half of the fix that I needed. I filled this box with the address that shows when external connections would authenticate or play, and set “forwardfor” at the proxy, then the information came through. Thank you for this.

Turns out it was as simple as checking a box in my reverse proxy settings to enable “forwardfor” now to wait and see if the information actually gets passed through or if I have to do as NeryK suggests and enter the address in Jellyfin.
