I have lurked on this list for..., well forever. I started my wireless
business career back in 2001 and recently retired from the ISP world
last october.
I know this isn't really related to wireless internet but has anyone
built out a comprehensive monitoring system using HomeAssistant?
<https://www.home-assistant.io/> It seems to me someone in this bunch o'
genius's has got to be using it. Yes, it's a diy setup but isn't that
what we all have been doing?
I've been using it on a daily basis in two houses for over 5 years.
I've have ping sensors, custom snmp sensors, hundreds of integrations
for IOT.
Of course, if you're a Zabbix expert, there's that.

One thing these MSP sales-training things are teaching me is that A) You ha=

Don't get into =
technical details unless required - just fix their pain points or tell them=
what their pain points are, then fix them. One should be building a homoge=
neous solution that actually delivers a better experience, rather than sell=
ing ala carte that is disjointed.
That applies to ISP stuff as well, though ISP stuff is less complicated.

We'd probably be building from scratch since nothing we have now is intelli=

put all your systems details into grok. Will probably spit out a good start=
er, maybe even an existing integration solution. If not, dump the API white=

It started with lighting, but then expanded to HVAC, so I wondered what els=

Are you taking like hvac or lighting or....?=20
I run a building management system in the packetflux manufacturing facility=
but that's just so the correct resources (compressor, N2 generator, supple=
mental ventilation, etc. ) can be started based on the equipment being used=
. We also do some heat/hvac management so we don't have multiple systems co=
