  • I don’t use HA but FHEM and what I do to retrieve data from my homecontrol is using a telegram bot.

    In telegram you can setup buttons when formatting messages, so my bot shows me the control menu with predefined actions. One action is to show my power consumption at home.

    There is no need to open ports as the telegram bot polls the same way you cell phone does.

    Also the bot only communicates to known clients that I predefined before, so nobody can see or control my home network.

    Maybe something similar is possible in HA.






  • I went for the ASRock J5040 board, 16gb ram (yes it works) a 500gb m.2 as system using a PCI adapter , 2x4tb ironwolf as ZFS mirror pool, 350 W power supply all in the node 304 fractal case for 550 euro.

    Runs proxmox as hypervisor for VM or Container. 6 LXC running motioneye, plex, pyload with openvpn, syncthing, rclone cloud backup and openbookshelf.

    Typical power usage is around 20W
