Totally agree.
Day after day the mods delete questions and force users over to askandroid, a community with only ~250 subs and 8 active users a day.
The main community had about 10 new posts within the last 24hrs. A few questions would not hurt at all (5 within the last 24hrs)
Yeah, it sucks. Recently moved from a 5 to a 7a and it’s just terrible.
Maybe it will improve over time but chances are I’ll switch to another phone vefore that happens…
They are out there but not in large quantities.
i.e. my new home server runs on an odroid H3
Maybe I’m celebrating too soon but I feel that, finally, smaller phones are having a comeback.
It clould also be that it took ~3 yrs for the folding tech to enable smaller phones but after checking out many razr+(40ultra) reviews, and now the HM V2, reviewers are once again getting excited about smaller dimensions and lighter weight.
Also discounted in .at/.de!
Also check out 'Everything Smart Home 's video. He compiled a prime day offers spreadsheet: https://youtu.be/BTlypaOe4G8
If you like statistics give graphana a look. It’s a very powerful graphing toolkit, given enough time you can create really beautiful views of your data.
If you need aditional data: Many smart plugs can measure power consumption…
Before buying more sensors/actuators: Think about the communication pritocols you want to use:
WiFi
Bluetooth
Zigbee
(This is just a veeery short summary)
It’s one of the first phones that raised my interest in a looong time…
Seems like my scenario is less challanging…
Have you set the sensibility to high and run the ‘empty room’ calibration in the app? (Don’t know the exact enlish name for the option…).
I started out with docker because it looked like a clean and portable solution.
After adding container after container to get the features/add-ons i wanted, various hassles with USB components and networking troubles I ended up with a solution that was a PITA to keep updated.
Then I switched to a RPi and it was smooth sailing (especially integrated updates and backup).
Next step is to move it to proymox running on an Odroid H3…
The metrics I quoted may not be precise, but they are still representative. How many more subs does android have on your instance compared to askandroid?
That aside: Just look at the post & engagement numbers!
My argument is that, at the moment, the community is too small for so many specific sub-communitites. And this approach sends users into oblivion.
Most of the deleted questions aren’t even reposted in the other sub, and if they are get way less responses.
