I'm giving up on this. I have tried everything and I can't make it work, so bye bye GPU.

Not sure how to change the driver to AMDGPU, I blacklisted the Radeon driver but the kernel didn't load the other one. I read somewhere that I have to do a initframs update but the command doens't exist in truenas scale. How do I force to load the other driver?

Thanks for the answer.

Just checked with lspci -v and it says radeon:

03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cape Verde PRO [Radeon HD 7750/8740 / R7 250E] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller])

Is that the one it's supposed to be active?

About the allocate thing, I think that is a number and not an index in an array. I think that you can allocate as many gpus you want:

I've seen that same menu in screenshots and I'm supposed to be able to choose something different from zero.

Hello c/Selfhosted!

Although I'm still new with truenas, I've been a happy truenas scale hoster for a year more or less and I've been increasing the reach of my self hosted server little by little.

The problem came when I decided to add jellyfin and a GPU for encoding. My server is mostly made of old parts and the GPU is not different. The GPU is recognized by truenas scale as a "Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. [AMD/ATI] Cape Verde PRO [Radeon HD 7750/8740 R7 250E", which AFAIK has hardware encoding/decoding as per Jellyfin wiki.

But the only place I can see the GPU is in lspci and in System Settings/Isolated GPU PCI Ids (and it's not isolated). Whenever I try to change the configuration of an app to allocate the GPU I can only select "Allocate 0 amd.com/gpu GPU", there are no more options.

I've searched for this a lot but I found very little info about AMD GPUs and how to debug this issue.

I'am missing something? Could anybody point me in the right direction? Any commands I can run to diagnose?

Thanks for reading!

Moving to new house. Start from scratch or reuse? (sh.itjust.works)

Hello!

As stated in the title I'm moving to a new house soon(tm) that will change my home assistant instance a lot.

I was wondering what would be better... Start from scratch or adapt what I have? I have some information in HA that I want to preserve but most of it could go away.

Have you any experiences in this situation? Any insights?

Thank for reading!

I love the graphs and the seeing how every variable make changes in what I'm measuring.

But that is just me

Nice idea! Will study the possibility in my pool. Thanks!

That looks amazing. But it's out of my budget right now. Thanks for the suggestion!

I've been thinking about the DIY route for some time but creating a water and weather proof enclosure it's not easy.

Same here, I've been using an aqara ZigBee sensor for more than two years and it works great.

I designed 3d printed rain proof enclosure and it's been reporting outdoor temperature and humidity for more than two years with no problem.

The worst part for me is the changing the battery. The sensor is on a hard to reach place and my design is not the best, so I fear when the battery gets low.

I was planning to build something like this for the rain.

Thank you! Just checked it and it looks really nice. How do you integrate it with home assistant? I've been checking the inkbird integration and it seems to be Bluetooth only. I'm afraid Bluetooth is not an alternative, the HA server is in the basement and is not going to reach the pool by Bluetooth

Hello!

I moving to a new home with a small pool and I was thinking of buying a pool sensor.

Right now I'm searching for something simple like temperature but would be nice to have ph and others.

I'd like it to be local, no cloud, and right now something cheap, I love DIY stuff.

So, any recommendations? Any experiences with these kind of sensors? My searches lead to pretty expensive stuff that can measure all the pool parameters and cloud based.

Thanks for reading!
