Hi!

I created a sensor from an ESP32 and two HC-SR04 Ultrasonic distance sensors.
The device works fine and is recognized in HomeAssistant.

But every 2:22min/142sec (sometimes a bit faster or slower, but overall it's quite consistent) the connection resets and the device becomes unavaillable for ~500ms in HomeAssistant. Reconnection is automatic, and after 2:22 the reconnect happens again.

When I take a look at the VERY_VERBOSE logs, I can see that in the normal phase both sensors are updated and sent (I removed some filters/lambda entries from the log):

[16:40:46][V][ultrasonic.sensor:032]: Echo took 1603µs
[16:40:46][D][ultrasonic.sensor:039]: 'Ultraschall Abstand links (c

Hi!

I just started my Unraid/Selfhosting journey and of course the topic of external access came up. I do have a VPN to access my network, but I want some services to be availlable on the internet.

I am aware that networking is a huge and complex field, so I am not surprised that watching videos, reading a bit of documentation, tinkering and having a blast for a single weekend did not lead immediately to a working setup ;)

I do not mind a learning curve, but I wanted to ask if the direction(s) I'm researching are good for what I intend to do:

I want to expose some services (all dockerized in different containers) to the internet, especially a simple REST-Service and a rustdesk-server to

Hi!

I started my Smart Home journey about one year ago. I'm a software developer by trade, so I have a good grasp of technical concepts in general, and no problem whatsoever writing yaml or code.
But... I have no idea of electronics. I use Home Assistant, so ESPHome seems like a natural fit for my first steps into electronics projects.

When I see something like this simple example I am able to follow the steps and build this project (I guess, I never tried...), but I'd love to understand why I need exactly two resistors (and why they have to be (?) 100Ω ).

I'd like to use different sensors (lightlevel, temperatur, ...)

I feel really stupid, but my google foo is totally letting me down...

Is there a way to delete the production of an assembly plant? Sometimes I misclick when selecting the desired production, and right now I always have remove the whole plant with a right click to change the production to the right item.

I know that I can paste the "production" (or the lack of thereof) from another plant where I did not select anything yet with shift-lmb/shift-rmb, but that does not help if I just want to change one assembly plant...

I tried the obvious candidates (well... obvious for me) like ctrl/shift/alt plus rmb/lmb, but I had no luck.

Can anyone enlighten me?

I have the impression that many tales about witches are about them stealing milk and butter, and sometimes going to great lengths to do this (see "Tilberi"). Or they bewitch animals to stop giving milk (and give blood instead). Or they make milk go sour. Or they do something else involving milk and butter...

At least European witches seem to do this, since I found quite a few examples in my German mother tongue, but next to nothing in English.

How come? Was butter that important and expensive during "the time of the witches"? Is this something about witches being female and doing or ruining woman's work with magic?

Examples:

... and how do I change one into the other?

On the Voyage a book I imported via Calibre shows up under "documents". I'd like to have it show as a book. Is there a way to change the type?

If anyone wants to backup a synology box to Crashplan, here is a good guide how to do this. Worked flawlessly for me.
