  • I built a DIY with a 12v chime, a 12v dry contact ZigBee relay, a 12v generator, one ZigBee button and a Tenda two way audio pts external camera .

    The 12v (AC) is required by my gate lock. The two way audio depends on a proprietary app (didn’t bother too hard to make it works with Home assistant yet).

    Using home assistant I can open the gate and check the camera. To actually talk back I need to open the proprietary app






  • I think Plesk is still self-hosting. Nowhere it says that self host MUST be open source or in general, free stuff. Self hosting is host on your premises, or actually host yourself (hosting on a VPS IMHO is still selfhost).

    As for Plex, i discarded it from the day 0 and went with Jellyfin directly, never looked back and i am 100% happy with my choice. I would NOT consider something like Plex (with it’s enshittification, pricing and overall shady approaches in general) as viable for my setup. But, it’s still self-host since you host your media and your service.
