I watched this live. Pretty cool interview. Crazy that ZSKnight wrote it all in assembly.

Plain and simple there isn’t a better Android option than the shield yet. I have the 2017 pro. I put the projectivty launcher on it and haven’t looked back .

Why is this so hard? - because it is hard! if it was easy then everyone would be doing it. It’s ok to struggle, you can do this! Everything will be alright and if you do fail, you will be able to recover and learn from what didn’t go right so next time you will be successful.

Have you tried getting just one link to work? Troubleshooting is best when you start with a small problem and work up to more complexity. Narrow down what the issue is. You dumped a ton of data and text in your post. I don’t have a page of bookmarks in my dashboard. I tried a link at one point and never got it to work. I assumed at the time it had to do with http vs https but just decided I don’t need that link in my HA dashboard. Good luck to you.

Had to look up what Tuff Si Krette was… That’s pure garbage.

THIRDREALITY Zigbee Water Leak Sensor. I got it off amazon $20 works great with ZB2MQTT I have it under my AC unit in the garage incase the drain gets plugged and condensation goes crazy. It beeps loudly when it detects water so if something is up with your HA or zigbee network, it still alerts someone. I would buy another one, prime shipping and not too expensive.

I love mine but I use the bidet before I wipe. Then it doesn’t take much paper at all.

Doubletake looks pretty cool! I’ll add it to my Ubuntu PC and see how it works with frigate.

I use frigate on a separate PC that’s several years old that I snagged from work surplus. You can find a similar one on eBay or woot. When I started, Frigate is a resource hog on a pi. MQTT on the pi as a HA addon is plenty.
