    • Embedded "in-wall" raspberry screen

      DesT

      Just to start a new thread...

      I received last week some kit (3) from Gazouta:tech

      Gazouta Technologies  /  Jul 14, 2018 Professional Wall Mount for Raspberry Pi Touchscreen (Black Anodized Aluminum) | Gazouta Technologies Professional Wall Mount for Raspberry Pi Touchscreen (Black Anodized Aluminum) | Gazouta Technologies

      This kit will allow you to install a Raspberry Pi Computer and an Official Raspberry Pi 7" Touchscreen as a wall mounted touch controller.

      I will work on that in the incoming days/week, the goal it's to put at least one in the main entrance to "replace" the alarm keyboard and they other one in the master bedroom to control "scene".

      Will need to figure out some dashboard for that and will probably check also to send some IP camera feed too!

    • Jetson Nano

      With the price of these little buggers dropping, I am finding more and more the nVidia Jetson nano attractive as a self contained platform to run openLuup/z-way/Home Assistant and all the HomeKit/Alexa bridges of course with a couple of sticks for zigbee and zwave. Because of the included GPU, it can do faster video processing and be a development platform for further ventures into AI and a potential alternative to the rPi4... Enticing for <$100?

      Im very frustrated with my new pi. I have 2 pis running on ssds with no sd card great. But for the life of me I can’t get it to boot from the exact same model of ssd that works on my other pi. I also can’t get the new pi to boot from old known working sd card. I tried burning new image onto ssd, known working image, in fact the only way it will boot is with the noobs card it came with. I thought pi3s didn’t have any firmware it was all software, but thats all I can think of. I am stumped. No, I don’t want to boot off sd card. Is it a bad pi? I did every single step multiple times. I know how to do this, ive done it twice. What’s going on?

      Any reason why I shouldn’t repurpose a RPi 2 that I have laying around do run openLuup? I know a lot of people seem to be using v3.

      Thanks

    • Portable pi power

      prophead

      Is there any way I can run my pi on portable battery power for short period of time? My plan is to take that zway server to each of the zwave devices rather then the other way around. Does that make sense?

    • PSA upgrade your Pi’s to ssd

      prophead

      I just upgraded one of my pi’s from sd to ssd. Huge speed increase. Stop what you’re doing and do that now if you haven’t already

        Oh, please give us a review. I'm looking to do something similar.

          I have a fire tablet with a madebymake enclosure and it’s pretty good. I have a dashboard similar to the msr one, and I’m very happy. I posted about it months ago here.

            @dest Interesting. How do you plan to power this?

              @hsd99 Will go with PoE, that way I will have a stable network connection and power 😉

              I have a bunch of PoE adapter here that convert PoE -> RJ46 and microusb!

                That would be my thought. I can't tell from the product description how much space is allowed for connections. You could also buy the PoE hat for the PI. That's how I power my PI server. The PoE Ethernet switch is on the UPS, so the PI is automatically backed up in the event of a power fail.

                  Cool, we have one of those in our racecar, for map tuning and race GUI.

                  I use old tablets/phones and imperihome myself, 3d printed frames. I would also like to put them into the wall, and not have the power cabling. One day!

                    I've been using my dashboard on Kindle Fires since the beginning, but I'm pretty sure the Pi will outperform the Fire any day (at least, Pi4 will).

                      About power. I’m just using a usb cable attached to the Ethernet cable, going back to my rack, where I have a Zwave switch doing 20-80 cycle automatically. I’m using FullyKiosk and it’s http and mqtt api. You can switch it on/off, dim the screen, open apps and pages automatically.
