Oh, there is some support, you're right! https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/wemo/

Yikes the Wemo outlets have pretty bad reviews though. I think I'll look for a z-wave version instead of wifi.

This is great thank you! Do you have a smart plug that you like? I'm looking for something that monitors wattage, not just turns off/on. The Wemo Insight Smart Plug is the right kind of thing but it's not hacker friendly.

I haven't looked for that kind of thing yet. I thought the Wemo outlets let you talk directly to them on the LAN and also had Home Assistant support though!

I finally started documenting all the home automation devices and apps I use, with the main goal of everything running locally! Here's a fun list to browse through if you're looking for some holiday shopping ideas!

@aaronpk this post doesn't federate properly on Mastodon as it gives me an invalid link to https://aaronparecki.comvideo.mp4/

Thanks! I just fixed it. No idea how to get Mastodon to update its cache of it though.

Last year, I finally got in the habit of catching up on my business accounting every 2 weeks. 💵 This year, I haven't even opened quickbooks since August. I really need to get back on track with that or tax season is going to be really painful.

Wow I feel dumb but I just figured something out. You know how when you launch Instagram you briefly see a photo before it scrolls way down the timeline, and you really want to see that photo, so spend the next several minutes scrolling for it and not leaving IG? Yeah… genius.

at first I thought you had found a solution for that... then it hit me 🤦‍♂️

Maybe 2 years now? I’ve had the channel for almost 3 but really focusing on it for 2.

Super cool, congrats in advance!

I can’t decide if I actually have a use for this or not… a 15.6” thin (like iPad) external HDMI/USB-C monitor for $110. Add a second monitor to a laptop or even new iPad sounds clever. But do I *need* it? Damn sales… https://geni.us/mkwdmx

I have a 13" one that I use with my portable ATEM setup and it's fantastic. This is a ridiculously good deal!
