It's a shame because it's an excellent product, I really wish 1P understood this. Their removal of the cloud sync feature and insistence on moving to a subscription-based model is infuriating and drove me away from them. I want to be in control of where my vault is synced to and the only way of doing that is by staying stuck with the older 1Password 7.
Interesting! I have the same TV and never see ads (I'm on the latest WebOS update). My Pi-Hole actually blocks everything and the only times when I see ads are when I disable the blocking to be able to access the app store.
Edit: To clarify, ads served on the WebOS interface. YouTube ads are still there.
Haaaa great write-up! I was in that situation and ended up repurposing a Raspberry Pi to make sure it would fully work. Didn't wanna take the risk of bricking it so soon after getting it haha
+1 for this project, I'm glad it's getting visibility. It's an excellent add-on for the robots that are compatible, especially for all the privacy-conscious people that want smart devices in their homes.
1Password. They've taken a fantastic password manager and are slowly moving it to a subscription-based product. They're slapping in the face the very users that helped them get to where they are and are removing local vault syncing with the new 1Password 8. Now I'm faced with the choice to not continue updating the apps (which, if I do so in iOS, I'm screwed because I won't be able to downgrade it) or to start using a new password syncing solution.
Any of the Kickstarter projects I've participated in. I used an alias for my Kickstarter account and I know for a fact that at least one of those projects sold my email because now I get random Kickstarter-type project emails in my spam folder.
This looks like a great solution, congrats on the launch! I don't know if I would store that information in the cloud though. If you were to offer a self-hosted option I would be all over it.
Thank you but no thank you. As it receives OS/app updates it'll inevitably lead to the monitor slowing down to do a basic function like displaying the image coming from the computer. This "smartifying" of everything is getting very frustrating, it happened to TVs and now monitors are next.
I would gladly pay the $3/month if they were doing what you mentioned in addition to adding features. One of the problems with their new subscription model is that they're replacing existing support for password syncing with a forced adoption of syncing to their cloud.
Syncing to Dropbox (or others) is going to be removed with 1Password 8 and we'll be forced to either keep the old license of 1P7 and lose out on security updates, or, to start paying a subscription and accept that they manage the syncing instead. For many that's not acceptable, and it's a bit of a slap in the face for all the supporters they've had for years now who have been promoting their product through word of mouth.
I really enjoyed reading this, thanks for posting. I've been struggling to find a more sustainable solution on my end for all the sensors and buttons I have set up. Anecdotally I feel their battery life tends to be shorter based on whether they're in busy locations or not. I've ordered the CR2477 and CR2450 batteries they use in bigger quantities but I'd much rather be able to recharge them instead. Have you ever found devices of this type that allow them to be recharged?
Split into VLANs for trusted devices, IoT devices and guest wifi. Proxmox server with Pihole and Wireguard for adblocking and VPN access, along with other non-networking services (Firefly III, MySQL DB, Plex...)
Unfortunately yes. You'll still be able to use your license but once that version becomes incompatible with your OS you won't have a choice but to upgrade. I'm disappointed I won't be able to keep the Dropbox sync in 1Password 8. They did have this survey to gauge interest in self hosting it: https://survey.1password.com/self-host/
> The lights in my office come on when I walk in if it's dark, and when I unlock my computer it shoots a message out over a MQTT broker which my automation takes as "someone is occupying this space now" and leaves them on. When I lock my computer, two minutes later if no motion is sensed it'll turn them off.
What did you do to send the message when the computer locks/unlocks? This is an exact use case I could make use of
Can confirm, the fingerprint reader is apparently a huuuge pain to set up. I had found an article on how to set it up and it was requiring me to boot into Windows to do the initial set up and then go to Ubuntu to be able to use it. I just went for a stronger password instead.
I love home automation and I love this idea but I'm deadset against having a cloud service connected for my home automation. Would it be possible to run a server locally, using my GPU for the processing?
