Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Do you control your thermostat via ir remote?
If so, an esp32 or esp8266 running esphome and an ir led connected to a pin might be a solution.
Would cost like 3 dollars in parts from AliExpress, and you could connect it to home assistant or node red for more control or automation.
You could also add a temp sensor like for example ds18b20, which are also pretty cheap, if you want to be able to read temperature remotely or automate based on temp
Nope, I just walk up to it and push buttons if I need to make changes.
What’s the thermostat controlling? How is it wired up? I replaced mine with ram esphome with a temp sensor and a relay that bridges the pins when it wants to turn on. Mine is connected to home assistant but i think you can use esphome devices stand alone.
This is probably not a useful answer, but it's the level of knowledge that I have: it controls the heating and cooling, and it just gets pushed into the holder on the wall.
