Have you never lost your password device (phone, laptop, etc) suddenly and unexpectedly? That's when you really want that file synced somewhere else. But then it's too late. Bonus on many password vault servers is shared folders, so one can share their garage door code with the family but keep the bank account details to oneself.

Nope. The search order asked for all the usual telecom info (see Attachment A), but Signal doesn't retain most of that data, so all they were able to provide were registration date and last seen date.

Welcome to corporate phishing emails, then, where the page that loads scolds you for being an idiot and submits your name to the boss for automated remedial phishing training, which must be completed lest it also tells HR...

Smart-ening Window Blinds (sh.itjust.works)
submitted 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) by synestine@sh.itjust.works to c/homeassistant@lemmy.world
 

I've got some decent window blinds at my house (tilt as well as roll-up and -down), but I didn't want to shell out another couple hundred per-window to make them "smart", let alone being tied to a cloud service that could spontaneous combust any day now...

I've done numerous searches, but have not found anything decent that I could use to retrofit to add any sort of automation to these blinds. The best I could find were purpose-built and/or roller shades.

Is anyone here aware of any projects or products that can be added to a set of blinds to locally automate any of their features? I'm running latest stable Home Assistant in a container, with HACS, if that helps.

TIA!
