The brain of the system is a Synology NAS DS918+ with 16 Gb of memory. This NAS is running many different Docker containers:
- Home Assistant : Home automation connected to my IoT devices
- Node Red : Advanced automation with node graph (like Houdini for vfx people :-)
- Mosquito : MQTT server for communication in-between Home Assistant and Zigbee2mqtt
- Unifi : Controller for Unifi network gears
- InfluxDB : Long term storage of Home Assistant data
- Pi-Hole : DNS filters for blocking advertisings and trackers
- Grafana : Graphic for display Home Assistant's data
- ESPHome : Control ESP8266/ESP32 by simple yet powerful configuration files and control them remotely through Home Automation system
- Portainer Yes a container for managing containers :-)
- Watchtower : Automatic update of all my docker containers
On my Mac:
- Atom : A fantastic open source editor
- Home Assistant Mac Companion : Permit to have HA sensors for my Mac. Currently in beta but very stable
- MQTT Explorer : For investigating MQTT via a human interface
On ESP8266:
- ESPHome : Control ESP8266/ESP32 by simple yet powerful configuration files and control them remotely through Home Automation system
- WLED : A fast and feature-rich implementation of an ESP8266/ESP32 webserver to control NeoPixel (WS2812B, WS2811, SK6812) LEDs or also SPI based chipsets like the WS2801 and APA102!
