Recently I started playing around with Home Assistant, to make my home smart and display useful metrics on a dashboard, e.g. calendar events.

I found a Grafana dashboard to import on another fork (included in my fork as well) which is … [Read more…]
For a small project (a microcontroller with a temperature sensor) I needed a mqtt broker to process the sensors data to display it in Grafana. There’s already a TIG stack running on my server, so it was obvious to me that I will go with Mosquitto. For some reason Mosquitto never returned any data scraped … [Read more…]

Issue: Keyboard and mouse input is not registered, when using a Teamviewer session on a host running VMWare Horizon. A few days ago I was confronted with a simple yet annoying occurence.
