Podcasts about Home Assistant

En el podcast Domótica Compatible, Carlos nos ha contado muchas veces sus idas y venidas de Home Assistant a HomeKit y viceversa. En mi respuesta, intento aclarar por qué yo elijo un sistema sobre el otro, con argumentos.

In this episode, we range from ice-cold mornings and sunny Colorado skies to a deep dive on home mining, heat reuse, open hardware, and sovereign home automation. We recap getting featured in Forbes on Heat Punk projects and how mainstream coverage is finally grokking mining-as-heat, Canon's heating-first designs, and Bitmain's market dominance risks. We share real-world progress: integrating Canaan home miners with Home Assistant via APIs and Node-RED, using Zigbee sensors for room-aware thermostatic control, solar and TOU-aware automations, and the vision for a sovereign “miner control hub” box built on Raspberry Pi 5. We get nerdy on RISC‑V vs ARM, open firmware, and the Libre Board + Mujina roadmap, with detours through customs-destroyed SMD parts, packaging HydroPool for Docker, and the power of public, self-hosted pools after a solo-Block win with a NerdQAX. We also cover privacy and the surveillance creep: doorbells, cars, app signing, and why self-hosted tools (Pi-hole, PFsense, Mullvad, Signal, Proton/Tutanota) matter. We discuss HPC pivots by large miners, grid vs. heat-reuse economics, Canaan's momentum in home heating, and the imminent Telehash on HydroPool with StartOS packaging on deck. Plus, the Stealth Miner enclosure, Bitaxe-powered heat projects, and shoutouts to the open-source crew making sovereignty practical at home, one sensor, miner, and Docker container at a time.

In this episode, we go deep on two fronts: protecting open-source projects from trademark hijacking and advancing real-world hash rate heating. We share the ongoing battle to oppose fraudulent USPTO filings on the BitAxe mark, why “TM” vs. registered matters, and how we're navigating opposition, Madrid Protocol options, and the broader goal of keeping open hardware open without enabling scammers. We then switch to practical engineering: Tyler walks us through immersion mining powering radiant floor heat, dynamic performance scaling, control loops with Home Assistant, thermostats and dry coolers, and why tight software control beats expensive hardware band-aids. We unpack LibreBoard and Mujina plans, APIs, Stratum v1/v2 quirks, Intel vs. Bitmain chip behaviors, and how PyASIC/ASIC-RS standardize miner control. We also touch on FreeCAD pains, open-source CAD needs, educational content plans, and a wild idea: launching a BitAxe to low Earth orbit for space-mining experiments. The throughline: building a sustainable, open-source mining ecosystem where entrepreneurs can profit while dismantling proprietary roadblocks, especially for heat reuse at home and in buildings.Resources we discussed or referenced include: USPTO trademark process and oppositions, Madrid Protocol for international marks, Home Assistant integrations with open thermostats/APIs, LibreBoard and Mujina firmware architecture, BrainsOS and DPS/ATM concepts, PyASIC and ASIC-RS (standardizing miner APIs), FreeCAD/KiCad vs. proprietary CAD, and Dyson Labs' BitAxe-in-space concept. We wrap with shout-outs to community hashers supporting 256 Foundation and an invitation to contribute, test, and build on these open platforms.

In this episode, I host a deep dive on open-source Bitcoin mining hardware and network policy. We kick off with updates on the Ember One v5 hashboard design: a modern, smarter voltage regulator with digital telemetry and over-temp safeguards, header breakouts for optional fan-control daughterboards, and the tradeoff of dropping 24V input in favor of better performance up to 17V. We talk real-world cooling scenarios from hardwired desk fans to immersion, water blocks, and the dream of a fully passive, fanless space-heater miner, and how firmware can target room temperature using external thermostats or Home Assistant, including hashing on dummy work for heat when the network's down. We also cover system builds with S9 chassis reuse, USB hub scaling, and the open-source release on the 256 Foundation's GitHub.Then we zoom out to software and network sovereignty: IPv6 support work on Bitaxe and why testing the full chain (ISP to router to device) matters; the merits of self-hosting vs cloud IoT, dynamic DNS, and why more economic nodes will matter as home mining grows. We wade into Bitcoin Core vs Knots relay/mempool policy drama, argue for keeping “the knobs” and user choice, and explore a BIP proposing a scriptable mempool policy. Finally, we unpack copyleft vs MIT licensing for hardware and software, what “preferred format for modification” means for open hardware (use real CAD source, e.g., KiCad), how legal enforcement has played out (Cisco/Linux precedent), and why open-source accelerates development, decentralizes control, and creates durable ecosystems using Bitaxe's rapid growth as a case study.

Ezinne and Oji Udezue have over 50 years of combined product leadership experience at Microsoft, Twitter, Atlassian, WP Engine, Typeform, and Calendly. They've witnessed every major shift in product management, and, despite their seniority, they're taking beginner AI courses and learning from engineers half their age, and Oji is coding more now than in the past decade—from Waterfall to Agile to AI. They are also the authors of Building Rocketships, a guide to building great products. In this conversation, the couple shares hard-won lessons they've learned from companies successfully adapting to AI, including their “shipyard” framework and their “sharp problem” methodology.What you'll learn:1. The “shipyard” framework: why the best AI teams embrace controlled chaos2. Why Oji writes more code now than in the past 10 years—despite being a PM for more than 25 years3. The three skills that matter most for PMs in 2025: curiosity, humility, and agency4. How to identify “sharp problems”5. AI at the core vs. AI at the edge: why companies that are building entirely new AI-centric codebases will beat those just “sprinkling AI” on existing products6. The counterintuitive truth: engineers are moving so fast with AI that PMs are now the bottleneck7.

In dieser Episode nehmen wir dich mit auf eine Reise hinter die Kulissen von Home Assistant – dem Open-Source-Giganten für Home Automation, der den Smart-Home-Markt im Sturm erobert hat. Es geht um eine Frage, die (fast) jede Tech-Community irgendwann beschäftigt: Ab welchem Punkt reicht Ehrenamt nicht mehr aus, und wie schafft man Strukturen, die weltweit Wirkung entfalten?Zusammen mit Pascal Vizeli – Co-Founder und CFO von Nabu Casa und Gründungsvorstand der Open Home Foundation – tauchen wir tief ein: Wie wächst ein Open-Source-Projekt von einer Freizeitidee zum internationalen Backbone für Smart Homes? Warum braucht es eine Schweizer Stiftung, um Kommerzialisierung zu verhindern? Und was hat es mit Works With Home Assistant, lizenzierten Produkten, Hardware-Innovationen und politischen Ambitionen auf sich?Spannend wird's, wenn Pascal erzählt, wie es gelingt, aus Community-Engagement professionelle Jobs zu machen, warum Datenschutz und Nachhaltigkeit zentrale Werte sind und wie Open Source endlich auch die großen Hersteller in die Pflicht nimmt. Dazu gibt's jede Menge Insights aus der Welt des Home Assistant, von Cloud-Diensten und Lizenzmodellen bis hin zum Kampf für offene Standards, Transparenz und das Recht an den eigenen Daten.Eine Folge, die nicht nur Smart-Home-Fans elektrisiert, sondern zeigt, wie Open Source zu echtem gesellschaftlichen Impact wird. Jetzt reinhören und Open Source mit ganz neuen Augen sehen!Bonus: Wer immer schon wissen wollte, warum Vereinsbuchhaltung manchmal wichtiger ist als Programmieren und wie man mit einer Non-Profit-Stiftung weltweit Standards definiert – hier kommt die Antwort.Unsere aktuellen Werbepartner findest du auf https://engineeringkiosk.dev/partnersDas schnelle Feedback zur Episode:

For Brad, that's getting a proper travel router and GaN charger for easier networking on the road, jailbreaking his Kindle to try out that KOReader magic, and, uh, maybe someday setting up a local network time server. On Will's side, there's getting set up to take advantage of the Twitch 1440p beta, finding ways to utilize a USB-connected multi-foot pedal, and building an outdoor IP camera rig with the optics and shutter speed to properly document the ongoing hummingbird fracas outside his house. An episode as ambitious as it is speculative!Links for this episode:The Kindle Modding Wiki: https://kindlemodding.org/A pretty good basic explainer about Kindle jailbreaking and demoing KOReader: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qtk7ERwlIAk The style of travel router Brad's looking at (not sponsored!): https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-axt1800/ Support the Pod!
