The lights we have definitely require the app and an account to get them to do anything other than solid white.

Thanks I will look into those products as well as Home Assistant. I’ve yet to pull the trigger on installing HA, I don’t have a lot of devices that have made me want to use it yet. We only have a couple Google speakers and Chromecasts.

Apparently it’s to detect nearby devices so that you don’t have to pair the traditional way.

The other thing that bothers me about these lights is they have a built in microphone that listens for music playing and can adjust the lights to match the music. I haven’t looked myself but some users on Reddit have posted about the amount of network activity with Govee cloud and Google Analytics being very high.

If I can isolate them from accessing the internet and connect through Home Assistant locally then I may keep them… These are sort of a trial run for future permanent Christmas/Occasion lights on the outside of the house.

You can actually start collecting CPP at 60 and OAS at 65.

I find the price has also doubled.

You took it too far bro

I’ve been to Paris 3 times, I’m from BC in Canada. April, May and October I went. Had an amazing time every time, people, food, places. It’s one of my favorite cities.

What is it that you all are documenting? I’m just getting started and have so far just set up docker and several containers (Plex, the *arrs, qbittorrent, gluetun) and not sure if I should be writing something down?

Thanks a lot. I have looked around and haven’t found anything like this… Maybe my search words weren’t the right ones.

Is there a chassis you know of that has similar dimensions to the DS923? I know it’s a strange concern but size is an issue for me.

My wife and I are both 90s kids and none of this really resonated with us. This is a dumb meme and is hard to read.
