Amadeus PaulussenI currently use <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/sensibo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sensibo</a> air sensors to control the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/airconditioning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#airconditioning</a> in our bungalows. However, I would like to use something local that does not need a <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/cloud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cloud</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/subscription" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#subscription</a> to operate. I have already set up a <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/homeassistant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeassistant</a> on a Raspberry Pi 4. Can anyone recommend some sensors that can be used locally and interact directly with Home Assistant without using the cloud? I need to sense <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/humidity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humidity</a> and <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/temperature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#temperature</a> and be able to control the air conditioners. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/smarthome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#smarthome</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/homeautomation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#homeautomation</a>

Chris BrookingMy "Scientific American" subscription is coming up for renewal. I'm trying to decide whether to renew it on the basis that they are critics of Trump or cancel on the grounds that it would be supporting America. This is made harder because I see only two viable alternatives, **New Scientist** which doesn't have the detailed articles, or **Nature** which is excellent but costs nearly three times as much!<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/ScientificAmerican" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScientificAmerican</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/boycottusa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#boycottusa</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/subscription" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#subscription</a>

Third spruce tree on the leftThere are lots of <a href="https://mas.to/tags/plugins" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plugins</a>/services that allow you to sync your <a href="https://mas.to/tags/browser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#browser</a> saved website <a href="https://mas.to/tags/credentials" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#credentials</a> across multiple devices; even <a href="https://mas.to/tags/sync" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sync</a> between ecosystems (chrome/google account <--> Microsoft acc). But - leaving aside "password sharing is Baaaad" and "probably violates a TOS somewhere" issues - does anyone know of a plugin/service that allows you to share a saved login with a trusted other? e.g. share an newspaper <a href="https://mas.to/tags/subscription" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#subscription</a> account with a partner _without_ a shared google account.

MattSteal this postal ideaI was thinking about how much fun it was to get mail as a kid. These days, it is all bills and Kafkaesque forms from the government, which gave me an idea.What if there was some sort of inexpensive subscription service where you got a nice or fun letter in the snail-mail post each month? Maybe customised for you in some way. Perhaps also some postcards from random parts of the world.Perhaps when you sign up for a year of nice mail, you could opt in to a postcard exchange. Opted-in people would get their postal address added to a handful of nice letters with a prompt to maybe send them a postcard. Thus, subscribers would get nice things by post from the service and also from other people who like sending cool local postcards.For added niceness, opt-ed in people could get a birthday mention. Or put on the postcard part of all the letters.Something like that anyway. There would have to be an opt-in component because I’d not be happy sharing my address otherwise.<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/letters/" target="_blank">#letters</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/mail/" target="_blank">#mail</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/post/" target="_blank">#post</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/postcard/" target="_blank">#postcard</a> <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" class="hashtag u-tag u-category" href="https://node.lordmatt.co.uk/tag/subscription/" target="_blank">#subscription</a>
