Home Assistant 2023
Over the last 18 months or so, I’ve been running Home Assistant to automate various things in the Grumpy Household. Overall, it’s been quite a success. This post aims to dive into what I’m doing, how I’m doing it, and what I want to do going forwards.
DigDag - Orchestrating The Madness
Quite some time ago1, I set up my very first home server. Over the years, it’s become more and more central to our day-to-day technical needs, including (but not limited to!) photo backups from all our various devices, syncing files from desktops to the server for archival purposes, documentation management, photo album displays, and most importantly, backing up important files to an off-site location.
With all of this activity, I’ve been running more and more nightly jobs.
