I have four Raspberry Pi 4 running, so that’s 15W max each or 60W max total. Usually they consume much much less.

Ok, great to know, thanks!

I’ll take a look, thanks.

What’s the difference between Prometheus and Telegraf? Why do you prefer Telegraf?

I use Ansible for management, I just want to see nice graphs and maybe get alerts when things go south. Thanks for recommendation.

Sonoffs are usually safe.

The communication method doesn’t mean anything security wise. Here’s a simple example.

Device #1 is an ESP32 based WiFi device with your own firmware. It won’t phone its Chinese parent company every hour because you made the firmware yourself. It’s no less secure or more wrong than using your phone hooked to your WiFi.

Device #2 is a ZigBee device. It doesn’t have any connection to the internet. But you need a hub to interact with it and you decide to use Amazon Echo for simplicity. Now your house is fully owned by Bezos.

You need to inspect every device to see if they suit your needs.

I would recommend using Ansible to manage your containers and infrastructure in general. It has quite a steep learning curve, but it’s worth it!

Why do you want that? Plain git can do everything you actually need.
