The Enbrighten Z-Wave switches have been awesome for me for several years now. The only thing I’d recommend is that you get the UltraPro brand. Jasco makes both brands, and they are identical, except that GE usually charges more. https://byjasco.com/ultrapro-z-wave-in-wall-smart-switch-quickfit-and-simplewire-2-pack-white

I can answer Q1. The order definitely does not matter. All the drives are aware of who they are, so when you import, as long as they are all present, you’re good.

I’ve been using RecipeSage for a while now. It replaced Paprika for me. Runs easily in Docker, and it can create a recipe from a URL.

Surprisingly, I’m going to make my money back quick. I was previously using older Supermicro machines and small hard drives that used a ton of power. This thing let me downsize power-wise (like a LOT), and I doubled my total capacity.

Asustor LockerStor 10 with 12x 20TB Seagate Exos X20 (2 reserved as spare drives).

Clocked in around $6500 for everything, but totally worth it.

Oh no. At least there’s no way for everyone in the world to make a backup before it goes dark…

I love the automation screen updates. Makes it all a bit less “techie”. I’ve been assisting my non-technical sister with setting up her own instance on a Pi. This is going to make things much easier for to understand.
