Okay so I understand the less cost part, but less safe? Isn't Neutral supposed to be there for safety reasons?

Well, i know Neutral is there to complete a circuit and I believe "ground" is the actual wire added for safety and to prevent shock. There are actually 3 compositions, Live-Neutral-Ground. the structural engineers can explain better. I only know the little i know based of my little wiring experience.

There must be a reason why its so, or maybe be it's the standard specified in the building code. I'm eager to know this too.

airsaylongcome:
So as expected, I've faced a stumbling block. Only God will save us from the kinds of buildings developers build in this country! So the Sonoff smart switches need to have a neutral (earth?) line for them to be safely connectes and used.

For the electrical folks here, why in God's name would a light switch not have neutral? Is that safe? Is it allowed by the Nigerian building code?

For me there are two reasons.

1. Its less cost cuz you will buy less wires.

2. Its safer than having it with neutral wires. - for you to have electric spark and fire, you must have a complete circuit. So this is the reason why must times you have sockets burning but light switches staying intact for years.

But recently, people have been going with the new standard of Live & Neutral.

I'm not a structural engineer. this is my own opinion.

Hey bro, how e dey go? Wanted to ask of you had used OpenFlixr before?

OpenFLIXR Media Server is an all-in-one media server for automated downloading and serving media. Tools like CouchPotato, SickRage, Headphones and SABnzbd to download and Plex Media Server to bring everything to your screens. Be it tablets, TVs, PCs, you name it. Completely web-based and includes monitoring and management tools.

Wow. This is very interesting. I haven't used it before. I've just been restricted to Plex Emby and Jellyfin. I have looked at the features and it's sounds promising. Will look for a docker or LXC version and experiment with it. Thanks for the suggestion!

islamics:
How do I start with the bolded?

You need a computer (regular desktop, laptop or single board like raspberry or a micro computer - anything that has OS sha), A router, a hard drive with stored Media content, download a few applications and your good to go. That's all!

In my case, i only need the internet to pull down the movie information and pictures to make them look beautiful on screen just like Netflix.

islamics:
But person go dey burn data ooooooo.

That's the good part! It works locally without the internet. Even when your internet down, as far as you have a router, you can access all your movies and content on any device, phone, tablet, PC or TV.

airsaylongcome:
Omo! I made a post with a link. Bot handcuff me for 24 hours. Lesson learnt.

I've been wanting to ask you, How do to you cope without Alexa, Google or Siri?

airsaylongcome:
Ehen nau! That's why I'm asking for where you download yours from. I haven't downloaded in a while. My sure source got hit with a DMCA takedown

Remove the spaces, scared of the Nairaland bot. dont want their ban!

torr ent gal axy . t o

Never say die. working for me since for ever. Surviving Torrent sites in my arsenal.

When it comes to 1080p or 2160p or higher, rarb does not disappoint. Its just a click away.

Thank God Nigeria has not invoked strict download laws, i wonder how i would have survived or even sourced contents

airsaylongcome:
Meanwhile @xtremeidea I will hit you on the SSD thread. Need reliable source for HD content for my Plex

When I used Plex back then, I sourced my contents myself.

Do you download movies and contents from the internet?

My first smart home device was a Bluetooth smart bulbs that could change color and i was happy with it for years till i wanted more.

Please feel free to ask questions, no matter how stupid you think it sounds, i can answer to the best of my knowledge or direct you to somewhere for better clarifications with examples.

That's my little contribution.

EgunMogaji2:
Just a quick heads up for the beginners that may read this thread.

Please don't be discouraged by posts from the heavy hitters. You don't need this professional level knowledge to introduce automation to your own homes. AliExpress, eBay, Amazon, etc are loaded with first class off the shelf equipment to get you started and you may never need more than that.

Good luck.

Very True. Please ignore some of the heavy languages used. We all started small.

airsaylongcome:
You still got the 256gb M.2 SSD?

Sorry bro. It's sold

airsaylongcome:
Lol! I am happy to leave the conversations out here. Mesef na learn I dey learn and I didn't know we had a few Home Automation hobbyists on here. A lot of the stuff being thrown around fit confuse you and that's normal. Just step back and start from the top by Googling Home Automation. I also heard that Home Automation is also called Domotics so you can also use that as a keyword. The long story short about home automation is to have IoT control of your home (or dare I say entire building for Commercial Real Estate buildings).

@xtremeidea for your emby setup, where do you get your content from? I'm looking for reliable locations to get at least 1080p or 2160p. Are you on emby premiere or just ole regular emby?

I download movies and series a lot. So I uploaded them to my Network storage and have emby pick them from there.

airsaylongcome:
You have just mentioned all the nonsense I will like to do! Not emby though. I'm a Plex or Jellyfin buffoon. Pihole locked and loaded (no time for nonsense ads). Proxmox 7.2 sitting on a Lenovo Tiny in one corner running a PBX VM and a host of other smaller VMs (currently testing Peertube for a super secret idea I'm tossing in my head)

Correct guy! It's so much fun!

airsaylongcome:
For those that have smart homes how did you get started? I'm looking to start a personal project on this but I'm finding it very hard understanding how to start. If you are a techie and are into home automation how did you get started? I'm aware of a number of software that will enable you start off but what hardware would I require for a basic start? If I just wanted to be able to turn off light bulbs from my phone while I'm not at home what would I need to get to start off? I've been hearing of Zigbee and Z-wave but they all sound very confusing to me. Please advise if you in this field

I started with an Amazon Echo Dot controlling custom built sockets with Sonoff basic $5 devices and yeelights smart bulbs.

Wanted more so i added smart IR devices to control TV, AC and every IR/RF devices in my house.

The IoT power was shacking me and i couldn't resist the cravings for more, so i went Full Home Assistant with a Raspberry Pi 4. Added Door Sensors, motion sensors and cameras. It wasnt enough!

Then i added Zigbee to my network and expanded my network and added sensors everywhere (because i can ). I started enjoying the offline benefits of working without internet. Then i wanted more ............... So i went ESPhome madness.

I flashed all my wifi devices so they work locally with ESPhome, bought so many ESP32 & ESP8266 microcontrollers and started building my own sensors! With all this, i wanted more. its obvious i was already sucked into the rabbit hole of Home Automation.

So i bought two micro computers, HP EliteDesk 800 G2 Mini and Lenovo m93p tiny. I migrated Home Assistant to a virtual machine, ditched the Pi cuz i needed more power.

Now i run Home Assistant as a VM on Proxmox VE, added Docker and portainer and started a media server (Emby) - more like my own netflix.

I also have PiHole, Adguard, Openmediavault 5 & 6 (for network storage), PiAlert and so many more apps on the server.

I still feel i havent arrrived yet! Looking for more inspiration.

2buffagain:
No yawa man. What's your id though? I can try to transfer to you.
DM me.

No need. i cant be the only one there!

Pearlla:
Sorry to ask you this.....is this an online game or get to download it?

Yes, Its an online game but you have to download it first to play.

You can search for videos on the division 2 on YouTube to see the game play.

2buffagain:
Hey fam. I created the clan last year. I don't play much right now due to life priorities, but I'll be happy to pass on the baton of ownership to anyone who is currently an active division 2 player.

And then if at some point you ever stop playing too due to life, you can pass it on. Let's leave a clear Naija footprint where ever we step

Oh wow! I totally understand though, i am not so active too but play weekends when i am not working. I just usually use it as a way of relaxing after the Mon - Friday Lagos Hustle.

Cheers

I seem to be the only one in the Clan!
