That’s the way to go. And, local integration, which does not depend on cloud account for HA to control. The only integration I have that needs a cloud account is the integration for my car - it still depends on the cloud server to expose the differenct entities for my car’s status and functions (close/open doors, start engine with climate control, etc.).

Really? I used to play Doom on a MS-DOS PC circa 1994 or '95.

I had deleted my account in Reddit. But when I was still there, when ads come in my feed, I usually hide them! However, there is a limit on how many ads you can hide!

Me, I don’t have “shitty vendor integration”! I deleted all apps to control/access respective vendor devices. I have HA to manage and control the variety of vendor devices in my home.

Unfortunately, I have already deleted my account so I can no longer login. BUT, Reshit does not automatically delete posts and comments from the subs that you have posted/commented. However, I can pull my posts and comments using this: https://rosint.dev/

I used to have an app (and a login account to their cloud server) for my: 1) MyQ Garage Door Opener; 2) TP-Link smart plugs, switches, and bulbs; 3) Reolink AI cameras (I have 6 of them); 4) Insteon plugs and switches; 5) The Weather Channel; etc… Now, I have Home Assistant to manage those devices that I deleted my account from the respective cloud servers and deleted the respective apps from my mobile deives.

When I’m out and about, my iPhone is always connected to my home VPN gateway so I always have local control of my IoT devices at home with Home Assistant companion app on my iPhone. I have been with Home Assistant for 4 years now. I started with a Raspberry Pi 4B with 8Gig memory and HAOS in a mcroSD card. Now I’m on RPi5 with HA on SSD in a USB-3 enclosure.

Long Live Home Assistant.

Yep! I deleted my Reddit account because it became useless! Any new post I create or reply to comment, it is removed/deleted immediately by the “Reddit filters”. WTF! I did not receive any communication from the Reddit management or mod(s) of subs I had joined but I was being banned from any sub. I was a top contributor in 3 subs I was a member of but my account became USELESS! Reddit is now being ran by dictators.

Reddit is dead. I left Reddit because for no reason every post or comment I create is immediately removed/deleted by “Reddit filters”!

Reddit is crazy! I searched for my (now deleted) account username and there it is: posts and removed posts are dug up by https://rosint.dev/. WTF reddit. I deleted my account and I assume that all my posts and unsuccessful posts are removed - but no!

My advice: buy the SSD now and download the latest HA image for Pi5 and save it to the SSD. Save a full backup of your current HA into an accessible network share or to a large enough capacity USB Drive. Shut down your current HA. Power up the Pi5 with the SSD, configure the fresh instance of HA on the PI5 (name, IP Address, etc. to match your HA instance). Restore the backup.

This is one of my favorite dashboards. It has buttons to enable/disable automations, turn on/off smart switches that control devices in the garage. It has entities that shows status of my Hybrid vehicle. In the “All Info” tab, it has all the entities of my car’s integration showing all status and active buttons to activate some functions in my car.

In my case, I was forced to leave Reddit because at one point, I was not able to post or reply in any of my joined subs! I didn’t know why I was band because there was no communication from any mods or the Reddit dictators. I deleted my account because there was no use of staying if I was banned. I asked my favorite AI if there is a Reddit substitute and it pointed my Lemmy. So I’m here!

Thanks! I just added it and blocked ://.reddit.com/*

I get “Access Denied”! Why?

Thanks. It’s too late now because I’m done with Reddit.

Thanks. I see it.

Thanks for the warning! There is no mod log at Reddit so I really don’t know what triggered my being banned!

BTW where can I look at the mod log?

I just deleted my Reddit account and deleted the app from my mobile devices.

Hey take a look at this which was NOT removed/deleted by Reddit filters: https://www.reddit.com/r/Rants/comments/1uzyeph/reddit_fucking_sucks_now/
