----
-
-I have recently (last couple months) been getting into home automation, specifically using Home Assistant.
-I also wanted to get a coffee maker that used K-Cups.
-Thus the goal was born - to get a coffee maker working with Home Assistant, such that I could automate it to fit my morning routine.
-
-I first searched for new coffee makers, looking to see what the easiest ones would be to hack into and automate.
-I got so far as adding a sleek new brand name model to my Amazon cart, but thankfully reason and frugality prevailed!
-Instead, I opted to swing by the local Goodwill the next day, to see what secondhand options might be available.
-As luck would have it, I found a no-frills, single button coffee maker for the princely sum of $4, and I was on my merry way.
-
-![The Spoils of Goodwill](media/20200610_204856.webp)
-
-***
-
-Later that evening, opening the black box up (thankfully I had the correct triangular screwdriver head), I found very easily hackable innards.
-
-![Poor lighting is the worst...](media/20200610_205351.webp)
-
-The control board ([front](media/20200610_205847.webp), [back](media/20200610_205841.webp)) is very simple - two buttons in parallel, an LED, and a couple resistors.
-I'm not quite sure what the logic is upstream (it un/latches on each press), but the buttons short to ground, and this is something I can work with.
-The control board has wires for ground, signal, and 5V, in that order.
-
-The ordeal of hacking into the thing, and my missteps trying to do so, is rather boring really, but it produced this:
-
-![Interception!](media/20200702_120309.webp)
-
-![Perfboard](media/20200702_120302.webp)
-
-![D1 Mini](media/20200702_120328.webp)
-
-The brains I added was a Wemos D1 Mini (thanks, Aliexpress!), with a 3.3V<->5V converter between to sense when the coffee maker is on, and also turn on a mosfet to short the button to ground.
-I initially had issues with the coffee maker turning on whenever I plugger the D1 Mini in, but a pulldown resistor solved this.
-
-![External USB Plug](media/20200702_120334.webp)
-
-I also opted for an external USB plug - this allows me to possibly reflash this without opening the enclosure, and also meant I did not need to splice into the mains line inside, which I was reluctant to do.
-
-I initially flashed and programmed the coffee maker with Tasmota, but almost immediately opted to use ESPHome instead.
-I like Tasmota and ESPHome, I was just able to get more fine control of the setup using ESPHome in this instance, especially concerning the button logic.
-
-The (important) code is as follows:
-
-```yaml
-binary_sensor:
-  - platform: gpio
-    device_class: power
-    internal: true
-    id: power_on
-    pin: D2
-    
-switch:
-  - platform: gpio
-    pin: D1
-    id: relay
-    restore_mode: ALWAYS_OFF
-  - platform: template
-    name: "Coffee Maker"
-    icon: "mdi:coffee-maker"
-    lambda: |-
-      if (id(power_on).state) {
-        return true;
-      } else {
-        return false;
-      }
-    turn_on_action:
-    - switch.turn_on: relay
-    - delay: 50ms
-    - switch.turn_off: relay
-    turn_off_action:
-    - switch.turn_on: relay
-    - delay: 50ms
-    - switch.turn_off: relay
-```
-
-The beauty of the way in which I can detect signals and simulate a button press is that ESPHome senses when I use the physical button, and updates accordingly.
-I can use the coffee maker absolutely as normal, the 'Smart' part of it is optional.
-
-***
-
-The rest of my setup using this coffee maker is somewhat outside the scope of this post, but it includes using Tasker on my phone to run a 'Wakeup' automation on Home Assistant, which will  - along with turning on my bed-head lamp, and switching my monitor on before putting it to sleep - check if I turned on a 'Morning Coffee' user input.
-If I remembered to prep my coffee the night before, and turned on the switch, I will wake up to a hot cup of coffee (or, the sound of a coffee-in-progress).
-I can also command Alexa and Google Assistant to do my bidding and make me a coffee.
-At least someone does what I want...
-
-Truly, we are living in the future.

-
-This is an ongoing project to build a custom NAS on the most minimal budget possible.
-
-# Use Case
-
-Storing a large (30TB+) amount of infrequently accessed data that must still be immediately accessible (primarily Jellyfin, Nextcloud), with some level of safety.
-
-Some details about my use case:
-* There will be no external network access except via a single local client mounting the drive and sharing via ZeroTier
-* There will be very few clients total
-* Most data is replaceable, though inconveniently so (media may be reacquired / restored from backups)
-* Neither latency nor throughput are very important
-
-# Bill of Materials
-
-| Quantity | Item                         | Per Unit Cost | Notes                                                                                         |

-| 3        | Dell Wyse 3030LT Thin Client | $11           | Ebay - Fairly common, though may run out eventually - other thin clients will no doubt appear |
-| 3        | HGST 10TB He10 510           | $80           | Amazon / Ebay - Very common, can pick these up any day                                        |
-| 3        | ORICO 3.5in to USB enclosure | $25           | Amazon - Could use another, this is what I chose, does the job for me                         |

-| 1        | 8 Port Ethernet Switch       | $13           | Amazon - Or whatever you have lying around                                                    |

-# Rationale
-
-In order of importance for my use case: Price > Redundancy > Performance
-
-## Hardware
-
-### Thin Client
-You simply cannot beat a whole working Linux box for $11.
-With 2GB RAM, 4GB eMMC, 1 GbE, 1 USB 3 port, and a bundled power adapter, it does the bare minimum I need.
-
-### HDD
-Similarly, **used** enterprise drives deliver an amazing value.
-For less than $9/TB or just over $10/TB with the enclosure, these drives are the cheapest possible way to get storage right now.
-By using external enclosures we can also upgrade to larger drives in future, with minimal effort.
-No shucking required!
-
-I buy ones that have a 5 year warranty (spoiler - it's worth having!).
-
-### Networking
-1GbE is plenty enough for me, but if in future I need more speed, I can find a network switch with 10GbE uplink and scale horizontally a fair bit.
-For now, a cheap unmanaged GbE switch will do just fine.
-
-### UPS
-Not 100% required, but the peace of mind in having the whole system on a UPS is worth it.
-
-## Software
-
-### Gluster
-
-I am using Gluster to run my NAS cluster.
-This is in large part due to its very modest hardware requirements, especially memory.
-I can run my nodes with less than 50% memory utilization, and not fill my limited eMMC storage either.
-It is very easy to work with, and offers flexible redundancy configurations.
-
-#### Configuration
-
-I am using Gluster with a dispersed volume, using the native client on my main server to mount the volume.
-Dispersed lets me add clusters of bricks fairly easily, which suits my needs well.
-
-### Netdata
-
-This lets me know if/when drives get full, lets me know drive temperature from SMART data, and will email me if any hosts go offline.
-
-# Experiences so far
-
-I've been too busy to document the whole process, but I currently have a 2 x (2 + 1) array running (if I'd known I'd need 6 drives, I'd have done 1 x (4 + 2), but I didn't know at first).
-Capacity is 60TB raw, 40TB usable.
-
-## HDD Failures
-
-That 5 year warranty I mentioned?
-I've needed it twice so far - one drive died about 1 month in, and a second died 2 months in.
-To their credit, the vendor got me a return package label within one business day each time, and refunded me as soon as the return package arrived.
-For now, I continue to use these drives because the $/TB is so good, but in future I may upgrade to some larger drives in the same way to keep power costs down.
-
-## Power Draw
-
-6 x HDDs + 6 x Thin Clients + Network Switch + 12V Power Supply, draws about 40W at the wall under regular load (serving files).

-# Requirements
-
-Given my experiences with my existing solution, my new setup must (continue) to be:
-* Able to support my existing 40TB usable space, scalable up to ~100TB
-* Easily maintainable
-* Performant
-* Mostly quiet
-* Cost effective
-    * Initial cost
-    * Cost over time (aiming for 5 year lifecycle)
-* Power efficient
-    * Fewer Gluster nodes
-    * Large disks > many disks
-* Reliable
-    * ECC Memory
-    * Redundant storage
-
-This leaves me with the following requirements:
-* Must support a `n x (4 + 2)` disk arrangement (~67% usable space with 2 disks of redundancy, especially as I plan to use used drives)
-* Disks must be 10TB or larger
-* Disks must be cheap
-* Disks should have reasonable warranty
-
-Additional observations/experience:
-* The 4GB storage on the Dell Wyse 3030 LT nodes is difficult to work in. If the storage fills, it can result in a node failing to come online after a restart
-* Network latency results in slow directory operations via Gluster
-* The workstation is already well capable of handling this many drives, it makes more sense to connect them directly to the drives as it is their only client
-
-With this in mind, I want to move away from multiple storage nodes and consolidate into a more unified storage system
-
-# Options
-
-## NAS
-
-### Prebuilt
-
-Easiest option, but not my ideal as I want to learn, and know my system wholely.
-Hardware is too expensive, no expandability, so I'm not going to do it.
-Good more many people's cases though.
-
-### Custom built
-
-Solid option, but too expensive - I already have a workstation, I don't want another desktop holding all the drives and not doing anything useful otherwise. More of a sunk cost issue than a failure of this option, I just can't justify redundant hardware like this. Also, power draw would be increased as I'd be adding a system, not replacing.
-
-If I were to do this, these are some of the options I've looked at:
-* Mini ITX motherboard
-    * [All in one](https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806141617147.html) ([alternative](https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806353828287.html)) - $125-$160 depending on spec
-      * 6 SATA ports, PCIE, 4x2.5GbE, NVME
-      * Power efficient (<10W TDP)
-      * No ECC, memory not included
-      * No brand support
-    * [Xeon Kit](https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256805579918121.html) - ~$135
-      * 6(?) SATA ports, PCIE, 2x2.5GbE, NVME(?)
-      * Powerful, not power efficient (90W TDP)
-      * ECC memory included
-      * No brand support
-      * Cooler not included
-      * More of a replacement to my workstation
-* [3D printed case](https://modcase.com.au/products/nas)
-* NAS Case
-  * [Silverstone DS308B](https://www.silverstonetek.com/en/product/info/server-nas/DS380/)
-    * Too expensive ($200+)
-  * [Generic 8 bay ITX enclosure](https://www.amazon.com/KCMconmey-Internal-Compatible-Backplane-Enclosure/dp/B0BXKSS8YY/)
-    * Too expensive ($150)
-    * No brand support
-    * Leaves empty bays if expanding in 6 drive increments
-
-Overall something I've strongly considered, mostly for space savings, but cost is keeping me away, as it's basically a whole new PC for each new node (unless I'm expanding somehow otherwise, which I could do via the workstation anyway).
-
-## JBOD
-
-Requires an external HBA/SATA expander from the workstation. 
-
-### Prebuilt (ex-Enterprise)
-
-Strong option, moderately easy to set up.
-Concerns are:
-* Power draw
-* Noise
-* Need for rack mounting
-* More bays than I need
-
-If I were to do this (and I may do some day), I would probably get an EMC KTN-STL3, a 15 bay chassis.
-
-### Custom built (from scratch)
-
-Too much work, don't want to *need* to design my own PCB for this.
-
-### Custom built (using ex-Enterprise parts)
-
-A few options,
-
-https://www.supermicro.com/manuals/other/BPN-SAS3-815TQ.pdf
-
-# Physical layout
-
-I had begun modelling and came close to 3D printing an all in one cluster enclosure for 3 clients and 3 drives that would include a power distribution board, fan controller with temperature sensor, and panel mounted Ethernet ports.
-This was never finished, and as I look to

----
-
-This is an ongoing project to build a custom NAS on the most minimal budget possible.
-
-# Use Case
-
-Storing a large (30TB+) amount of infrequently accessed data that must still be immediately accessible (primarily Jellyfin), with some level of safety.
-
-Some details about my use case:
-* There will be no external network access except via a single local client mounting the drive and sharing via ZeroTier
-* There will be very few clients total
-* Most data is replaceable, though inconveniently so (media may be reacquired / restored from backups)
-* Neither latency nor throughput are very important
-
-# Bill of Materials

-
-# Rationale
-
-In order of importance for my use case: Price > Redundancy > Performance
-
-## Hardware
-
-### Thin Client
-You simply cannot beat a whole working Linux box for $11.
-With 2GB RAM, 4GB eMMC, 1 GbE, 1 USB 3 port, and a bundled power adapter, it does the bare minimum I need.
-
-### HDD
-Similarly, **used** enterprise drives deliver an amazing value.
-For less than $9/TB or just over $10/TB with the enclosure, these drives are the cheapest possible way to get storage right now.
-By using external enclosures we can also upgrade to larger drives in future, with minimal effort.
-No shucking required!
-
-I buy ones that have a 5 year warranty (spoiler - it's worth having!).
-
-### Networking
-1GbE is plenty enough for me, but if in future I need more speed, I can find a network switch with 10GbE uplink and scale horizontally a fair bit.
-For now, a cheap unmanaged GbE switch will do just fine.
-
-### UPS
-Not 100% required, but the peace of mind in having the whole system on a UPS is worth it.
-
-## Software
-
-### Gluster
-
-I am using Gluster to run my NAS cluster.
-This is in large part due to its very modest hardware requirements, especially memory.
-I can run my nodes with less than 50% memory utilization, and not fill my limited eMMC storage either.
-It is very easy to work with, and offers flexible redundancy configurations.
-
-#### Configuration
-
-I am using Gluster with a dispersed volume, using the native client on my main server to mount the volume.
-Dispersed lets me add clusters of bricks fairly easily, which suits my needs well.
-
-### Netdata
-
-This lets me know if/when drives get full, lets me know drive temperature from SMART data, and will email me if any hosts go offline.
-
-# Experiences so far
-
-I've been too busy to document the whole process, but I currently have a 2 x (2 + 1) array running (if I'd known I'd need 6 drives, I'd have done 1 x (4 + 2), but I didn't know at first).
-Capacity is 60TB raw, 40TB usable.
-
-## HDD Failures
-
-That 5 year warranty I mentioned?
-I've needed it twice so far - one drive died about 1 month in, and a second died 2 months in.
-To their credit, the vendor got me a return package label within one business day each time, and refunded me as soon as the return package arrived.
-For now, I continue to use these drives because the $/TB is so good, but in future I may upgrade to some larger drives in the same way to keep power costs down.
-
-## Power Draw
-
-6 x HDDs + 6 x Thin Clients + Network Switch + 12V Power Supply, draws about 40W at the wall under regular load (serving files).

----
-
-I love home automation - I've spent far longer writing automation routines and hacking together my own devices and programs than I have ever saved by doing so, and that's perfectly fine.
-One unique aspect of my setup, however, is that I cannot control the network I must use - in my Uni dorm, I am not allowed to run my own router, and so all IoT devices must connect to the school wireless network.
-There abound dozens of Google Home devices, Chromecasts, and so on, all accessible on the same network - but not from the wired connection that my server/desktop uses.
-
-Here then is my solution: MQTT everything I can.
-From my lights, so light sensor, to coffee maker to desktop software, I bounce it through a MQTT server hosted on a VPS.
-I use Home Assistant, so automatic discovery is easy on most things, especially ESPHome.
-In fact, I disabled direct Home Assistant connectivity entirely on these devices, which works well enough for me to live with.
-
-# But how to flash?
-
-Given that my Home Assistant instance isn't even on the same network as the IoT devices, how do I update the firmware?
-Using my laptop, I can connect to the wireless network that they reside on, and using IP address sensors reported by these devices, flash them directly without needing local discovery.
-In fact, I can easily automate this for myself using a couple scripts and a minimal number of hard-coded values:
-
-`hassio.sh`
-```bash
-#!/bin/bash
-
-export HASS_SERVER=https://<server_url>:443
-export HASS_TOKEN='<HA_Token>'
-
-hass-cli ${@}
-
-exit
-
-```
-
-`lamps.sh`
-```bash
-#!/bin/bash
-
-declare -A aa
-
-aa["gosund_lb1_1.yaml"]="sensor.desk_lamp_ip_address"
-aa["gosund_lb1_2.yaml"]="sensor.bed_lamp_ip_address"
-aa["gosund_lb1_3.yaml"]="sensor.floor_lamp_girlfriend_ip_address"
-aa["gosund_lb1_4.yaml"]="sensor.desk_lamp_girlfriend_ip_address"
-aa["gosund_lb1_5.yaml"]="sensor.floor_lamp_ip_address"
-
-__flash() {
-
-    __config="${1}"
-    __entity_name="${aa[${__config}]}"
-    echo "Getting ${__config} IP..."
-
-    __ip="$(
-        ./hassio.sh -o yaml state get \
-            "${__entity_name}" |
-            grep -E '^ *state' | sed -e 's/.* //'
-    )"
-
-    echo "IP: ${__ip}"
-
-    if [ "${__ip}" == 'unavailable' ]; then
-        echo 'Ignoring...'
-    else
-        echo "Flashing..."
-        ./esphome.sh "${__config}" run --upload-port="${__ip}"
-    fi
-    
-    echo
-
-}
-
-if [ "${#}" -gt 0 ]; then
-    until [ "${#}" == 0 ]; do
-        __flash "${1}"
-        shift
-    done
-else
-    for __config in ${!aa[@]}; do
-        __flash "${__config}"
-    done
-fi
-
-exit
-```
-
-this allows me to mostly painlessly flash my devices, though truth be told there is little need.
-
-# Custom software
-
-I developed for myself a tool in Golang to help tie more of my devices together.
-It is rather uncreatively/cryptically named `ha-mqtt-iot` - that is, "Home Assistant MQTT Internet of Things".
-I may rename this some day, but why bother.
-It is similar to IOTLink (which is Windows only), and HASS Workstation Service - they are great projects, but this one is mine, even if it is poorly written.
-
-The gist of the software is that most (all?) device types supported by Home Assistant may be implemented using a selection of user defined commands.
-The most prominent examples in my case are in order to enable/disable dark mode on my desktop.
-I automate this according to ambient light in my room, to better match the aesthetic I want.
-Additionally, I can use it to turn my desktop monitor off, without resorting to using a relay outlet, and even change the color temperature of my system.
-The script I use for this looks like the following:
-
-```bash
-#!/bin/bash
-
-__monitor_i2c='dev:/dev/i2c-3'
-__monitor_dpms='0xd6'
-__monitor_brightness='0x10'
-__monitor_standby='4'
-__monitor_off='5'
-__monitor_on='1'
-
-__unknown() {
-    echo "Unknown ${1}"
-}
-
-f2i() {
-    awk 'BEGIN{for (i=1; i<ARGC;i++)
-   printf "%.0f\n", ARGV[i]}' "$@"
-}
-
-com="${1}"
-arg="${2}"
-
-case "${com}" in
-"command")
-    case "${arg}" in
-    "ON")
-        xset dpms force on
-        ;;
-    "OFF")
-        (
-            #xset dpms force off

-            #sleep 2s
-            ddccontrol -r "${__monitor_dpms}" -w "${__monitor_off}" "${__monitor_i2c}" -f
-        ) &
-        ;;
-    *)
-        __unknown "${arg}"
-        ;;
-    esac
-    ;;

-    echo -n "$(xset q | grep 'Monitor is' | sed -e 's/.* //' | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]')"
-    ;;
-"color-temp")
-    v="$(f2i "$(bc -l <<<"1000000/${arg}")")"
-    ./scripts/run-in-user-session.sh gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color night-light-temperature "${v}"
-    ;;
-"color-temp-state")
-    v="$(./scripts/run-in-user-session.sh gsettings get org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.color night-light-temperature)"
-    echo -n "$(f2i "$(bc -l <<<"1000000/${v/* /}")")"
-    ;;
-"brightness")
-    ddccontrol -r "${__monitor_brightness}" "${__monitor_i2c}" -w "${arg}"
-    ;;

-    echo -n "$(ddccontrol 2>/dev/null -r "${__monitor_brightness}" "${__monitor_i2c}" | tail -n 1 | grep -o '/[0-9]*/100' | sed -e 's|^/||' -e 's|/.*||')"
-    ;;
-
-*)
-    __unknown "root command ${com}"
-    ;;
-esac
-
-exit
-```
-
-Note that the display doesn't respond to being turned back on, so this is somewhat incomplete, but it's good enough for my needs.
-The corresponding portion of the config for `ha-mqtt-iot` looks like the following:
-
-```json
-"lights": [
-    {
-        "info": {
-            "name": "Desktop Monitor",
-            "id": "monitor"
-        },
-        "command": [
-            "./scripts/monitor.sh",
-            "command"
-        ],
-        "command_state": [
-            "./scripts/monitor.sh",
-            "command-state"

-        "command_color_temp": [
-            "./scripts/monitor.sh",
-            "color-temp"
-        ],

-            "./scripts/monitor.sh",
-            "brightness"
-        ],
-        "command_brightness_state": [
-            "./scripts/monitor.sh",
-            "brightness-state"
-        ],
-        "brightness_scale": 100,
-        "update_interval": 5
-    }
-]
-```
-
-Pretty simple.
-This makes custom system sensors trivial.
-For example, to show my system IP, I use the following:
-
-```json
-"sensors": [
-    {
-        "info": {
-            "name": "IP Address Desktop Solus",
-            "id": "ip-address-desktop-solus",
-            "icon": "mdi:ip-network"
-        },
-        "command_state": [
-            "/bin/bash",
-            "-c",
-            "ip -j address show eno1 | jq -r '.[0].addr_info[0].local'"

-
-Some common use cases are built in as well.
-Currently, this includes laptop displays (as lights) and batteries (as sensors), as well as Crypto prices (though the CoinGecko Golang library).
-These are really easy to call.
-An exhaustive example is quite short:
-
-```json
-"builtin": {
-    "prefix": "Name Prefix ",
-    "backlight": {
-        "enable": true,
-        "temperature": false,
-        "range": {
-            "minimum": 0.025,
-            "maximum": 0.95
-        }
-    },
-    "battery": {
-        "enable": true
-    },
-    "crypto": [
-        {
-            "coin_name": "dogecoin",
-            "currency_name": "usd",
-            "update_interval": 1,
-            "icon": "mdi:currency-usd"
-        }
-    ]
-}

-This lets me tailor my setup to each machine I'm using, while still enjoying the benefits of Home Assistant MQTT Discovery.
-The primary limitation at present is the inability to signal to `ha-mqtt-iot` from another process - it can only poll for changes.
-This will be addressed one day, when it is important for my own needs.
-
-# How to host?
-
-But the question is now, how do I access my HomeAssistant instance if it's also hosted at school?
-I most certainly don't have a public IP, so in comes AutoSSH.
-I'm not sure which is the best one at this stage, but refer to [this](https://github.com/psallandre/hassio-addons-autossh) repo and check the various forks of the parent project.
-
-I have configured on my VPS a docker image that accepts reverse SSH tunnelling, authorized only to the key of the HA addon.
-From my `docker-compose.yml`:
-
-```yaml
-homeassistant:
-    image: "docker.io/panubo/sshd"
-    container_name: homeassistant
-    environment:
-        - TCP_FORWARDING=true
-        - GATEWAY_PORTS=true
-        - SSH_ENABLE_ROOT=true
-        - DISABLE_SFTP=true
-    volumes:
-        - "./hassio/authorized_keys:/root/.ssh/authorized_keys:ro"
-        - ./docker-config/hassio/data/:/data
-        - ./docker-config/hassio/keys/:/etc/ssh/keys
-    ports:
-        - "<MY_PORT>:22"
-    restart: unless-stopped
-    hostname: "homeassistant"
-```
-
-This is then reverse proxied to using Caddy, to expose the website on a subdomain of a website.
-From my `Caddyfile`:
-
-```dockerfile
-<MY_SUBDOMAIN>.{$MY_DOMAIN} {
-    reverse_proxy homeassistant:8123
-    encode gzip
-}
-```
-
-Pretty simple, but not without some hiccups now and again - I occasionally have to restart the sshd docker on my VPS if something goes wrong with HomeAssistant.
-
-# Bonus: Android tie in
-
-I use Sleep As Android to track my sleeping patterns, and as my alarm clock.
-Using Tasker, I can run an action when I begin sleep tracking, which (using a HomeAssistant plugin for Tasker) can call a script on my HomeAssistant instance to turn off my lights (only if I'm home, of course).
-Similarly, it turns on my bedhead light when my alarm goes off in the morning, and could optionally make me coffee...
