I am using VPN. That’s probably causing my issue. Thanks.

Thanks. I am using VPN on my WiFi network. I’ll try using my iPhone with cellular connection only.

I have the account for more than 2 years with 218 karma if that matters. I usually am able to post comment replies successively but not anymore. I deleted my other account with lots of karmas because of this issue on replies/comments/posts.

Yes! I did! None that requires my attention. And there’s no mention device/entity area assignment. I fixed the Roku error by changing the device area assignment and then set the “Use device area” in the settings of the device. It was on a different area (originally) and then it was assigned a different area at the “Use device area” turned off - that created the error, I guess! I ignored the “Myq” error because that is a ghost device. I have dropped the MyQ integration a long time ago when Liftmaster/Chamberlain abandoned their support in HA!

I’m not whining! I just don’t want to click on a link. I forgot I already commented. Sorry if I offended you.

I don’t know what your top pick is because I don’t want to click the LINK!

I just did this 5 minutes ago (date/time stamp: 08-Oct-2026 10:01:30)! I blocked www.reddit.com from my firewall’s url filter.

So, which one is your top pick?

That’s the way to go. And, local integration, which does not depend on cloud account for HA to control. The only integration I have that needs a cloud account is the integration for my car - it still depends on the cloud server to expose the differenct entities for my car’s status and functions (close/open doors, start engine with climate control, etc.).

Can I use it as my avatar?

Really? I used to play Doom on a MS-DOS PC circa 1994 or '95.

I had deleted my account in Reddit. But when I was still there, when ads come in my feed, I usually hide them! However, there is a limit on how many ads you can hide!

Me, I don’t have “shitty vendor integration”! I deleted all apps to control/access respective vendor devices. I have HA to manage and control the variety of vendor devices in my home.

Unfortunately, I have already deleted my account so I can no longer login. BUT, Reshit does not automatically delete posts and comments from the subs that you have posted/commented. However, I can pull my posts and comments using this: https://rosint.dev/

I used to have an app (and a login account to their cloud server) for my: 1) MyQ Garage Door Opener; 2) TP-Link smart plugs, switches, and bulbs; 3) Reolink AI cameras (I have 6 of them); 4) Insteon plugs and switches; 5) The Weather Channel; etc… Now, I have Home Assistant to manage those devices that I deleted my account from the respective cloud servers and deleted the respective apps from my mobile deives.

When I’m out and about, my iPhone is always connected to my home VPN gateway so I always have local control of my IoT devices at home with Home Assistant companion app on my iPhone. I have been with Home Assistant for 4 years now. I started with a Raspberry Pi 4B with 8Gig memory and HAOS in a mcroSD card. Now I’m on RPi5 with HA on SSD in a USB-3 enclosure.

Long Live Home Assistant.

Yep! I deleted my Reddit account because it became useless! Any new post I create or reply to comment, it is removed/deleted immediately by the “Reddit filters”. WTF! I did not receive any communication from the Reddit management or mod(s) of subs I had joined but I was being banned from any sub. I was a top contributor in 3 subs I was a member of but my account became USELESS! Reddit is now being ran by dictators.

Reddit is dead. I left Reddit because for no reason every post or comment I create is immediately removed/deleted by “Reddit filters”!

Reddit is crazy! I searched for my (now deleted) account username and there it is: posts and removed posts are dug up by https://rosint.dev/. WTF reddit. I deleted my account and I assume that all my posts and unsuccessful posts are removed - but no!

My advice: buy the SSD now and download the latest HA image for Pi5 and save it to the SSD. Save a full backup of your current HA into an accessible network share or to a large enough capacity USB Drive. Shut down your current HA. Power up the Pi5 with the SSD, configure the fresh instance of HA on the PI5 (name, IP Address, etc. to match your HA instance). Restore the backup.

This is one of my favorite dashboards. It has buttons to enable/disable automations, turn on/off smart switches that control devices in the garage. It has entities that shows status of my Hybrid vehicle. In the “All Info” tab, it has all the entities of my car’s integration showing all status and active buttons to activate some functions in my car.
