I think he also recommended NextCloud Bookmarks in an earlier podcast. Have you tried that one too?

I’m using a mm wave sensor for a similar purpose and it works well. I don’t use it as an on trigger. I use it to help decide when to turn lights off.

For a cheap or free solution, you could detect when your TV is on (Chromecast integration, home kit TV integration, etc. or power monitoring smart plug) and don’t turn off the lights if the TV is on.

I’ve seen some interesting development with Music Assistant but I haven’t personally used it. It’s not sure if it can be commanded using the cast button.

What is the battery life?

If you’d like a web UI too, Radicale may be a better fit and easier to set up. I tried it out briefly using docker compose.

It’s not too hard to self-host too.

Thanks. That’s helpful. I decided to get an R720 I found on Ebay for $60. I’m not sure if it was a good choice but I’m excited to try it out!

Used 2nd hand sounds great, but the price range online is huge. Which units would you recommend and about how much should I expect to pay for them?

Can you explain this? Why does it have to be open?

What do you think about the U7 Pro?

Which ones do you have? Which ones would you get if you were buying now?
