    You can find resources for each categories but don’t think there is one that would cover everything and the reason is there is always several ways to do things and not one way for all.

    First you need to choose an OS. You have a few choices here, a good way to start if you don’t have much knowledge on linux command, docker… is to use something like Casa OS, Zima OS which are much more beginner friendly, it basically has a store where you can pick what you need to selfhost. If you already feel more confident and want absolute full control you can use proxmox instead.

    Once you settled your OS, you need to pick what to use sleefhost image, music… Here you have again several solutions, you can check immich for pictures, jellyfin for music/video, home assistant for smart home.


  • Mainboard and psu are the ones to take care the most but keep in mind that not all filament like to be printed in fully closed enclosure (without proper ventilation), PLA for exemple.

    One way to monitor and secure my printer is to use smart devices. I have home assistant running at home, my printer has an integration available and i can recover several printer informations like status, temps, printing time… and i have several smart devices (mostly zigbee) which i use to monitor and apply automation based on scenarios. (temperature sensor, smoke detector, camera, light, plug to power on/off printer). I can then create automation like “when smoke detector has detected smoke, turn off printer, then send picture to my phone and broadcast a message in the house…”. I have maybe 5 different automation running for the printer but the possibilities are endless.




  • Make sure your printer is not on something flammable, have a smoke detector (are common practises for safety). Since the problem is about power draw, and heated bed is what needs the most i got a cool build plate so i’m now printing at 30°c instead or 60°c. Obviously, some could also replace the cheap component bambou has put in but i’m not confident enough with my electric skills.

    About the issue, i recall that quite a few A1 got on fire. Bambu denied there was an issue and said it was a user fault. Some guys pointed out a weak component that would just barely support the maximum load printer can use and ranked it as unsafe. No recalls as no issues for Bambu









  • Home assistant is a beast, not sure openhab can actually match it today. Unless you already have a pi5 and a SSD (avoid micro sd card), you could consider a mini pc with n150 (or n100) processor. It doesn’t consume much power (close to pi5) and it will be more powerful and more Ram which will be useful for immich.

    Start with zigbee first, much more mature than thread. I don’t personaly use thread but i believe some zigbee dongle also can deal with thread at the same time.

    About the setup. If mini pc, you can use proxmox so you will be able to create a VM for home assistant and another one for immich.


  • To just store your printer there if you are not printing isn’t big issue as long as you don’t live in a too humid place, if I was to do that, I would leave printer in his original box to avoid collecting dust on it and would drop a few silicate bags. Two primary issues for printing will be to maintain your filament dry (enough) and warping due to the difference of temperature



  • That might depends on how your AC is working, I recently did the same at my dad’s house and run into issues because the temp control for the unit is reading from the remote. So when I sent infrared command to turn off unit, it worked as expected for some minutes then turned back on because remote sent back command as temp wasn’t meet. Still need to do a lot of testing to find a way to make it work, might need to disable remote and use some temp sensors for the triggering part but not sure how that will work, might need to use some hysterisis friendly climate addon for that…


  • First off, I don’t get why someone down voted you for just asking a question… So take my upvote.

    There is so many things you can do with home assistant therefore not easy to explain all possibilities, here are a few things that comes to mind.

    Many smart home users prefer to not depend on cloud giant and that’s a way to keep it local and keep everything in just one app even if devices are not same brand. It can just trigger light automatically depending of scenarios (if you have earring issue, it can trigger some light when someone rings at the door). You could have switch that are not well placed and are not practical and it enables you to add wireless switches elsewhere. It can also monitor appliances (and/or services) so it can remind you stuff (useful for some people that easily forget things) like emptying washing machine, taking trash out… (No need to add many daily reminder in your agenda which would have single notification that you will wipe out and forget). You can add security cameras and keep them local only. It can remind you to close windows when you just left home or because it started raining. It is also a way to monitor for exemple water leaks so you can react quicker to avoid big damages (imagine a small leak behind a sink which you wouldn’t notice for quite sometimes) same thing applies for smoke detectors, CO2 levels…

    The list of things it can do is really endless.
