If you need something right now, check my other github project - its home assistant version of MedAssist. Its not well documented, but you can find automations that trigger on schedule, dashboard page with preview and config page to update quantity, sending email reorder reminder, sending android critical notifictions or setting android alarms every morning for that day. I abandonded that basically as soon as MedAssist came to life, but It was working great for quite a long time. Anyway, Im quite confident this project will be able to talk to homeassistant at some point.

About tracking “taken”, I need to figure how to track reliably enough to make it worth, but Ill deffo keep looking

Thanks, such a great info. I have 0 experience with these, Ill check them out. Hopefuly Ill figure how to design a perfect one 😉

I was thinking about building device as well. I wouldn’t mind adding webhooks, or maybe even home assistant integration. I would need to know more about device itself to find the way to do it tho.

Do you have in mind ideal device and workflow? I’m interested also in 3D modeling and 3D printing, but I’m not sure what kind of device is best for that use case yet. I don’t know anything better than using phone alarm as reminder, but feels like dedicated device could fill that role perfectly. Phone alarm doesn’t require internet connection, its quite stable and you always have it with you, its hard to beat that lol.

Btw, before device comes to life, this app might help already! At least you can check if your dad took meds, by counting how many left and comparing that with number in MedAssist.

Thank you mate. I’m happy to share

Thx!

Thx, Ill check it out

Thank you!

Thx!

I dont know how to build mobile app, at least not yet. It should work fine on mobile browser tho, it looks good enough on my phone. Did you try opening the page on your phone?

I was thinking about mobile reminders. Before this app I made a same thing under home assistant. I have made automations for android notifications, I also made another automation that sets alarms on Android device every morning. I ended up not using them since built in clock alarms work every time and dont rely on anything. I’m considering that anyway and I might give it a shot soon

Hehe you are awesome 😂

cache few years, but time to time I have problems w

Thx, Ill check it out

Thank you a lot for being patient with me :D

dd if=/dev/zero of=1g-testfile bs=1G count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
1073741824 bytes (1.1 GB, 1.0 GiB) copied, 4.62269 s, 232 MB/s

This HDD is obviously working fine and much faster than I thought it can. I guess I have to find bottleneck elswhere

Thank you. The files I download are usually 5-30 GB size. I don’t want to max out my internet speed, I just want to get the files in media library ASAP after requesting download manually (happens maybe few times a week)

It makes sense, Ill test sequential and random write performance and maybe even test it since I have the hardware available.

At first I wasn’t aware that my speed is super low for HDD, therefore I was looking for some magic solution with SSD speeds and HDD storage that might not even exist. I have to do more testing for sure

Thx. Ive seen dd commands in guides how to test drive speed, but I’m not sure how can I specify what drive I want to test. I see I could change “if” and “of”, but don’t trust myself enough to use my own modified commands before understanding them better. Will read more about that. Honestly I’m surprised drive speed test is not easier, but its probably just me still being noob xD

Ill look into ZFS, but in meantime I found out my HDD is probably not bottleneck. Still want to learn about this so thanks for your comment

I have managed to copy with rsync and getting 180 MB/s. I guess my initial assumption was wrong, HDD is obviously not bottleneck here, it can get close to ISP speed. Thank you for pointing this out, Ill do more testing these days. Im kinda shocked because I never knew HDD can be that fast. Gonna reread all the comments as well

Yeah feels like that lol. Thx anyway, have a nice day dude

Im doing more research, but will defo test this

Yeah it will be faster, but its extra step before the files get available on HDD.

Even if my HDD is super fast and healthy it would still be a bottleneck for 2Gbps fiber? Ill deffo play with HDD more to find max speeds, wasnt paying attention before because it felt normal to me

It will download faster to SSD, but then I have to wait the files to be moved to HDD before getting them imported in media server. Im not after big numbers in qbit, I just want to start watching faster if possible. Sorry Im probably not explaining well and Im not sure if Im asking for something that even make sense

Well yes, but I was hoping files can be available (imported to media server) before they are moved to HDD. Import is not possible from incomplete directory if I understood that correctly (*arr stack)
