Will post my findings below .. hold on

Home Assistant versus Domoticz
After many years Domoticz, tried Home Assistant … again.
Going to test this instance, running on a NUC, besides my production setup. Time will tell.
- HACS installed.
- Node-red connection
- Zoneminder
- 2022-03-30 : Nextcloud snapshot backup, Mushroom Cards/Theme
- 2022-04-04: Great tip by dkorbee .. Esphome
I’ve got a RFXCOM connected to my domoticz, and i wanted to share my 433Mhz devices also in HA, so i configured ser2net.
On domoticz server
apt-get install ser2net
append
10001:raw:0:/dev/ttyUSB0:38400 NONE 1STOPBIT 8DATABITS max-connections=3
to /etc/ser2net.conf
Better is using by-id instead of ttyUSB
Find yours
find /dev/ -type l -iname *RFX*
(/dev/serial/by-id/usb-RFXCOM_RFXtrx433_A11ZKXF0-if00-port0)
Domotics
- disable RFXCOM in hardware
- stop domoticz
- systemctl enable ser2net –now
- check port with ss or netstat
- start domoticz
- and CHANGE hardware type from RFXCOM-USB to RFXCOM RFXtrx over lan (using port 10001)
Example
Home Assistant
Add intergration “RFXTRX” , select LAN, input your domoticz IP and port 10001
Takes a while to populate the devices.
I’ve still have to find a way to add a second RFXCOM
RFXCOM
IP Blocked fix (Locked myself out .. Remove contents in this file.)
Using SSH
➜ ~ find / | grep ip_ban
/config/ip_bans.yaml
➜ ~ vi /config/ip_bans.yaml

20 years www.pipetunesearch.org
I’ve took it offline, maybe someone wants the source code and database.
It was much fun, time to move on.
UPDATE: 20230228 – It is online again.
(I’ve got some mails and mentions in music forums)
https://pipetunesearch.henriaanstoot.nl/
At least i’ve got some nice reactions
I’ve create my own bww/bwm to parsons code convertor.
Rest of the website is php, mysql … first one started in 2001 using php3, until php7.
PARSONS CODE: OMG, you don’t know how long I have been waiting for a search engine to find tunes in my head. I thought about creating some kind of dictionary based on theme notes, or searching through bww files for sequences. What a thrill to find your site. I just hum a tune, use the up, down, repeat letters and… like magic the title is found. You are a genius. I will never be stumped for a title again. Thanks so much, John
Other successes i’ve heard of are: 2 Youtube movies being identified, a nameless bww file and mp3’s
Mail from Dave:
Hiya
My name is Dave Mason. I put a few tunes together a few years ago called "Tummle Yer Wilkies" which, I see, gets mention on your website. However, I see that you're not sure where people can access the tunes.
Well, the book is free to download from https://sites.google.com/site/tummleyerwilkies/home and I hope to have volume 2, "Tummle Yer Wilkies Too!" uploaded in the near future.
Cheers
Dave Mason

Botteling – Pepermeibock
Beer at last taken out of the cooling unit. Cooling temperature was not perfect, need to fix some things in my brewing computer 🙂
Above the brewfather app. The transition from Brouwhulp to brewfather was big, but it is a great online tool, with perfect integration of tools like ispindel, or DIY tools!
