I have a rainwater tank, and I use an esp32 (nodemcu) flashed with Tasmota, and a waterproof ultrasonic sensor to measure water level.

Yes

True, but I really appreciate that someone is doing it. (It’s far beyond my capabilities…)

Or use this…

I’m just running them independently. Although the proxmox helper scripts automate the creation of a load of bits that I use. https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/

I don’t run much, just a Debian-vm, Unifi docker, Jellyfin and Jellyseer (and some *arr) apps.

I grabbed a cheap Dell Wyze from eBay, then stuck proxmox on it, then Home Assistant in a VM. Works beautifully, plus I can run other VMs and containers. Plus snapshots etc. It runs at 5w idle and 15w under load.

Hate to say it, but unless you go for air-con, just a standard pedestal fan works way better than the evaporative coolers.

Just wish there was an iOS app…

Was it this?

I still enjoy the “Dell’s poker face” from Only fools and horses…

But probably not what you’re aiming for ;)

Will it run doom?

For me probably Terry Pratchett’s dwarves. Or TBH quite a lot of his characters…

Nice bag, where’s it from?

I’d split your network into 3 vlans. One for home, one for IoT and one for guest access (probably over WiFi). That way your firewall can handle the access rules.

Yes

Thanks for the suggestion. I did a bit of digging and it looks like my firewall supports any BSD compatible cellular modem, so might try that.

I’m happy with the service 3 provide, my question is for a 3rd party router that supports 4/5g
