I finally started documenting all the home automation devices and apps I use, with the main goal of everything running locally! Here's a fun list to browse through if you're looking for some holiday shopping ideas! aaronparecki.com/home-automa…

@samgrover you might also check out: github.com/matthewwall/weewx… looks like there's a way to get the temp sensor data without their expensive phone-home hub. Need a 433 radio receiver: github.com/matthewwall/weewx…

that's what I use, did you read it?

Read through it but didn't follow all the links. Didn't realized rtl_433 was the driver (different git repo though?).

oh yeah guess there are two of them. I don't remember why I used the one I did.

Also not seeing you using the weewx-sdr? I'm entirely new to this so perhaps just my ignorance.

The names of these things are terrible. I'm using the RTL-SDR dongle, it's linked down from the "controller" section.

:) agreed. Yah, I was looking at weewx because it'll run on a mac and I have an old MacMini sitting around that I was thinking about using: weewx.com/docs/macos.htm

weewx looks neat. That screenshot is pretty nice. That's one aspect I need to keep working on with my setup is putting displays in more places.
