Here is a forum thread on the Jellyfin forums from 2 days ago with an explanation and a solution. Looks like somehow the Roku Jellyfin client somehow has been marked as Beta which requires some extra steps for installation.

I have sets of both:

Sena 30k Cardo Packtalk Bold.

In my opinion the Sena 30k is terrible audio quality for music very tinny sound, no bass reproduction (not the primary purpose, but nice to have) and decent quality for communication. I had issues with being able to hear my riding partner, and issues with being able to hear while on the phone as well. I will say that the person on the other end did not have issues with hearing me (comms, or phone calls). Could have been placement of the speakers in my helmet, though I tried additional spacers and adjusting speaker placement with little to no change for myself.

Cardo Packtalk with JBL speakers is excellent quality for music (excellent given the size of the speakers, I mean they are 40mm speakers in a helmet not audiophile units) and decent quality for communication. I can say in the half dozen times I've needed to answer a phone call I could hear clearly, and the person I was talking to was unaware that I was on my bike.

In the end my wife and I use the Cardo system. More expensive than the Sena but overall we have been happy with them.

Unfortunately I do not have any experience outside the above. Comms are expensive and at some point I had to prioritize cash to other wants/needs.

Dynamic DNS service, or update client?

I have a domain name I have purchased, and have several sub domains for various services that I expose to the internet. My home IP is not static.

I use Inadyn as my DNS update client. Easy single config file to edit, and low resource client. Simple and just works for me. I know A LOT of people use DDClient I just personally found Inadyn easier to stup.

While a direct migration does not exist, since you have access to the data on both instances it would theoretically be possible to export/import the database tables from one to the other. That will require digging and knowledge on your end to figure out which data needs to move over.

Another option would be to duplicate the database from the first instance and connect to that front the second instance. From there make the changes to the second instance by hand.

Just make sure before you go mucking about with and database imports you have a good solid backup in case things go south.

Note: The above is theoretical as I have not setup am instance of Lemmy of my own. Just typical of how a database works.

You could add Ombi to your software stack. It supports multiple push notification providers (WhatsApp is included I believe). Bonus is it will let your users add requests which can either be admin approved, or automatically added to your respective *arr downloader.

I have had great success with the coordinators hand built by Tubes. He has a variety of options to choose from, and his support is bar none better than you will find from any mass produced product.

Wholeheartedly agree. I believe 100% they are over priced. I knew it was over priced when I bought it for the wife's bike. Then again, I tend to believe just about ever accessory that says "for motorcycle" is over priced. And yet we pay those prices to keep our knees in the breeze, and that shit eatin grin on our faces.

I too looked into Open Garage, and Open Sprinkler. In the end I happily settled on Tailwind, and Rachio. While I would like to avoid more cloud enabled stuff, quality of life told me with a few of my smart home items, it was better to just spend the money on a complete system that works. I've invested in both, and honestly they both just work.

If you have the Tailwind app loaded on your smart phone you will also get push notifications when the door(s) are opened/closed.

User of the Tailwind system for going on 2 years now. The ONLY issues I have ever had are the same issues you might have with any cloud based API. If their servers have an issue, you have an issue. That said, in 2 years of use I have had exactly 1 time I was not able to use the Tailwind system because of a server issue on the Tailwind side of things. The outtage lasted a short time before it was resolved.

I actually only purchased the Tailwind system because I ride a motorcycle. Their system allows for auto open/close based on near proximity to the house. When my phone is connected to my helmet headset and I pull away from my house the door closes when I hit a point 700 feet away (distance is customizable). Opposite happens when I come home. In 2 years of riding I have had the system I have not had it fail me. If your car/truck/van/SUV is equipped with a Bluetooth headunit it would provide the same functionality.

The HACS integration is VERY stable. You can see the door status at a glance.

Personally I would not hesitate to purchase their system again.

All that said a less expensive option does exist. Open Garage Though I not and have not used their system so cannot speak to it's stability or functionality.
