When I have Guest Mode on, I'd like to maintain my downstairs temperature at 20°, but if it's just me, I'm happy to suffer at 18°. However I can't figure out how to do it so that I don't have to make a whole new set of automations. Is there a grateful way I can set a conditional variable?

Does anyone know what I need to put in order to display the timer duration?

Currently I have

{{ states('timer.dining_study_clear') }}

And that just displays Active, Idle or Paused.

Just a heads up, this broke a bunch of my horizontal stacks and so I had to redo them. Didn't take long, but still annoying.

Was super easy and didn't take long. Just had to copy and paste the elements from each page. Being able to look at my dashboard in landscape is so nice. I'm really impressed!

A couple of years ago, IFTTT did a thing where they asked people to sign up to premium and they could pay whatever they like and could keep the service forever. I didn't use many of the services, but thought it made sense to try and preserve something so useful for in case I did need it. In the meantime, I would allow it to check some RSS feeds and alert me when certain keywords came up.

Some time goes by and the ambitions of IFTTT grow, they now rename the service I pay for as Legacy. Seems ominous, but I'm only using it for RSS so nothing to worry about.

Fast forward to yesterday and I get an email to say that they're moving me to a new premium service and doubling what I pay. It left a bad taste in my mouth. I hate when companies do this. Especially when they promised I could keep my old thing at the same price forever.

Anyway, since they've clearly lost their mind in the pursuit of AI supremacy, I may as well just host this myself.

So is there a self hosted solution for RSS where I can get notifications when some RSS feeds publish indiscriminately and others when specific keywords come up?

Something I can put in a Docker container on my RPi, set and forget.

So I'm trying to build a router. Just need something to handle the networking in my house and the plan is to separate things out via virtual local area networks. Anyway, reading a bunch of threads and comments, I think my design will be something akin to this. Is this good or bad? Ultimately I wanna run OPNSense since that's what most people recommend, but wanna about x86.

One of the things I'd been putting off through pretty much cowardice, was updating my Zigbee coordinator. However, this morning I said fuck it and found the tabs that I opened about it again.

This turned out to be a great idea because not only did I have the tabs for the wrong device open, the right tabs updated and now the process was simpler than ever. Hooray!

But there was some extra stuff in there, no longer was it just about updating the dongle, now it was about enabling Matter/Thread and switching from NCP to RCP. Network Co Processor to Remote Co Processor to the ignorant like myself.

I didn't opt for this, but I'm wondering if I should? If any of you have?

BTW, the only issue I had with my set-up after upgrading the dongle firmware is that I had to manually restart the Zigbee2MQTT container afterwards and the initial cable I was using, wouldn't do the upgrade, so I switched to my cheaper one from AliExpress which did it with ease, but that was obviously beforehand.

The other day my WiFi network went down and with it, I lost access to my Zigbee network?* Is this normal or is this a sign of a massive issue?

*When I checked the Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant, all devices showed as unavailable.
