Hey fediverse, you know about hacky stuff so I thought I may ask.

Currently have a #RaspberryPi 4 connected to my tv, running lineageos, just to play #Plex and filmin.

The display port is a micro one, and it's starting to break. I'm looking for alternatives!

Everything is owned by google/amazon/etc or is an nvidia shield (150€). Do you have any alternatives?

@plaetzchen I went through this. The problem is that #zigbee unavailable status is a symptom, like having a fever. And, like a fever, it shows up with so many underlying causes that it can be nearly impossible to diagnose without other symptoms.

For example, when I add or remove repeater devices, the mesh gets unstable for a few days and I sometimes have to wake devices up or re-pair them during that time. And then they get stable and everything is ok.

I had another issue where a large number of database writes was slowing down the #raspberrypi 4 #homeassistant server enough to cause the Zigbee controller to go offline and reset, causing all devices to go offline for a couple of minutes.

And all of this was after I carefully chose my channel and the channels I use for my wifi APs to minimize interference.
