It’s too bad this forces SSL connections. I’d like to use it for some home network/lan sites I have that are http only and use this just for convenience to access when at fine, but it requires a secure connection it seems

I use backblaze B2. I use duplicity to create a local encrypted backup of daily and then monthly incremental backups that are stored on a separate hard drive as a local backup. I then sync that with backblaze every night. It’s worked like a treat. Gives me my primary data, a local backup on a separate drive and then an off-site backup. And actually my primary data and my local backups are both on ZFS raidz2 drives, so I can even have drives fail and be okay.
I used to use glacier, but the backblaze interface and uploading scripts were just so much easier to use, and the price was comparable if not maybe just slightly cheaper, I can’t remember exact. I think duplicity also has a front end, duplicati that some people use, but I’ve never used it.
Perfect, I’ll try it out. Sounds like no reason to get a steam link, and that what I have should work well enough
This is a fascinating idea, I’ve used KVMs in the past, but never One like this with an extender to go a long way over cat. I’m going to do some research on this, this might be exactly what I was looking for in the future when I want to eventually have a server room that I can have all my PCs in one room and go to other areas of the house. Thanks
Awesome, I’m going to look into this, thanks
Out of curiosity, how are you connecting your phone to home when you’re out? Are you exposing HA, vpn? What sensors do you have enabled in the companion app? Do you have high accuracy enabled? How’s your battery drain?
I have the ecobee 3 lite and I try to keep it off the cloud and connect through home kit to home assistant. It is exceptionally unreliable and disconnects all the time. It’s the only home kit device I have, everything else is zigbee. I don’t know if it’s an ecobee issue or a home assistant issue or maybe a router issue. The only thing that’s helped some is occasionally letting it have access to the cloud and then it will reconnect to home kit and then I can disconnect it from the cloud and it will be good for any more from a few days to a month. I cannot recommend it because it has been so unreliable, and looking through online forums I’ve seen a lot of other people have similar issues with HomeKit and the ecobee. Eventually I want to switch to a purely zigbee device, as this is the only thing I have that even has Wi-Fi on my automation network.
I then control temperatures through a combination of home assistant, node red, and sensors through zigbee2mqtt.
I tried so many, eventually landed on trilium. It’s not perfect by any means, but it ticks the most boxes for my needs
