Not sure on the first one. I’ve only had that happen on certain clients, but the fact that it happens in the web UI throws me for a loop. Have you dug into the logs when it happens? Looks like there is a debug option you can set in config. I’m assuming you don’t use tailscale to connect while on LAN? When troubleshooting I usually try to eliminate things one at a time. Disconnect from tailscale to eliminate that possibility, connect via IP instead of hostname to eliminate reverse proxy from the situation and see if it improves, etc.

Regarding out and about, what is your upload speed? Are you using direct play or are you transcoding?

I think you need to address your 4th bullet point and troubleshoot the buffering. That shouldn’t be happening. Are you streaming from outside your LAN when this happens or does it happen even when inside your LAN?

Regarding #5 go to the now playing song and tap on the album cover. 4 options should come up. Its the bottom right option.

Side note. I know the other options have download and add to playlist, but I have no idea what the option with the arrow going up does.

Yes I use it. By far the best mobile app I’ve used with Navidrome and possibly the only one with lyric support.

Only do it if you have, or when you get Matter/Thread devices on your network. IIRC, last time I looked at this it appeared to be much more complicated, required an extra add-on container, and was expiremental, so came with the caveat of ‘things might break on updates’.

Is the pi running home assistant or is it an external pi running Z2M independently? Is it connected to your network via WiFi?

Can you explain your disclaimer? You suggest not setting your AD domain to a web address you use, like one for self hosted sites? So you buy 2 domains, one for AD and one for sites? Or you use an internal domain for AD?

What about ddns?

Edit: never mind reread your comment and saw the port forwrding caveat. Sorry pal.

I made a pressure sensor for my bed with an ESP board, some tinfoil, foam, and cut up Ethernet cord. Here it is talked about on HomeAssistant forums.

If you go this route make sure to read all the comments in this thread. Original uses paper, I used some foam to make the distance between the tinfoil larger. There is also a comment around the 150 comment mark that has some extra settings to put in ESP home regarding voltage. They made a massive difference in false positives, which you really don’t want if you are relying on this for keeping the lights off while you sleep.

Lidarr organizes it for me.

DavX for contacts and Calendar

jtxBoard for notes, todos, and journals.

Yep this is the way. What OP wants can’t be done with DNS.

I don’t run any zwave, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. I don’t notice any delays. Tbh things feel snappier and more reliable, but I was previously using like a 50 foot usb cable lol. I don’t think it would function any differently, in terms of stability, than zigbee2mqtt because Z2M actually uses ser2net as well to accomplish this.

You can use a remote adapter with ZHA as well. See my guide.

This is awesome
