Not exactly the same scenario, but close enough for proof of concept.

Not exactly the same scenario, but close enough for proof of concept.
If you want to skip wiring all together, pick up two Aurora Dimmers and put Hue bulbs in all your sockets. It’s not the cheapest or most privacy friendly if you’re using their hub. But going this way, you can put the dimmer near the fixture you want to control, you have no wiring whatsoever, connection to HA, and you’re completely up and running inside of 30 minutes.
The only thing I have inventoried is what’s in the attic. Everything is in large plastic totes by category. I keep a text file listing each tote and what’s in each. You looking for something specific? Search for that word in the text file and then go open up tote F3.
The totes are color coded based on what category of item is in them & have their contents written on the lids using a chalkboard marker for anyone in the family who doesn’t want to use the text file.
We check criminal records from local and national databases as well as your driving record. Because my industry is working with kids, we’re really just checking to make sure you don’t have any child abuse or neglect on your record.
Other industries, I’m sure, are looking for different things based on what they’re hiring for. Where I work, there is a different set of checks we run on folks that work in our finance department, but I don’t oversee that area.
Why does this cat look like it’s singing along to “Chop Suey!” by System of A Down?
Why? You seeking some jamaharon?
We’re calling out Comic Sans, but not Papyrus?
I made SO many self-extracting archives back in the day. My friends just couldn’t be bothered to use 7zip.
I’ve done my fair share of distro hopping. Mint is the distribution that I have to do the least amount of configuring starting from a clean install.
Take a look at the models that Gadgetbridge supports. Your data stays on your phone. There are no servers to connect to. You should have roughly the same experience on any Android device.
As for tracking sport sessions, look at what each model offers. I use it to sync my PineTime and Mi Smart Band 7.
I really like using the features that Mi Smart Band 7 has to offer AND knowing my data stays on my phone instead of going to servers in China.
Caveat: Recent Amazfit/Mi devices have needed you to set up the device in their proprietary app first to generate a pairing key.
Something worth noting is that F-Droid is both an app to download other apps but they also maintains a repository of apps. You can use alternative store apps (like Droid-ify) with the F-Droid repository OR you could use the F-Droid app with a different repository (like IzzyOnDroid). You can mix and match to meet your needs.
I use the Droid-ify app with the F-Droid, IzzyOnDroid, microG, NewPipe, and Collabora repositories.
Once you start down this rabbit hole, give Obtanium a look.
