I have a rainwater tank, and I use an esp32 (nodemcu) flashed with Tasmota, and a waterproof ultrasonic sensor to measure water level.

19·5 months agoTrue, but I really appreciate that someone is doing it. (It’s far beyond my capabilities…)
4·8 months agoI’m just running them independently. Although the proxmox helper scripts automate the creation of a load of bits that I use. https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/
I don’t run much, just a Debian-vm, Unifi docker, Jellyfin and Jellyseer (and some *arr) apps.
I grabbed a cheap Dell Wyze from eBay, then stuck proxmox on it, then Home Assistant in a VM. Works beautifully, plus I can run other VMs and containers. Plus snapshots etc. It runs at 5w idle and 15w under load.
Hate to say it, but unless you go for air-con, just a standard pedestal fan works way better than the evaporative coolers.

1·1 year agoI still enjoy the “Dell’s poker face” from Only fools and horses…
But probably not what you’re aiming for ;)
2·2 years agoNice bag, where’s it from?
1·2 years agoThanks for the suggestion. I did a bit of digging and it looks like my firewall supports any BSD compatible cellular modem, so might try that.
I’m happy with the service 3 provide, my question is for a 3rd party router that supports 4/5g
The only other option I have is Openreach/BT who will only give me 4mb down 1mb up. At least I get 50mb with three.
I’m happy with 3, it’s just their router is shit.

I started with a Dell Wyze 5070 from eBay. I put a 1Tb M2 sata in it, and 32Gb of RAM. Be warned it’s really picky about RAM type. After a while I added 2 more, for testing and to spread the load a bit. I also added a proxmox backup server. I like the little boxes as they run at about 15W each.
If I was doing it again, I’d try and find a lowish power box that wasn’t so picky on RAM, and also look at something with a 10GbE port so I could run ceph for some shared storage - but that pushed the price up…
HTH
