Here’s how my Home Assistant dashboard look like. I’ve already throwed away my Ikea hub and bought several thermo sensors from Aqara 😄 What’s more, it allowed my to avoid vendor-lock so I could connect any Zigbee device from any brand. I also bought CC2531 Zigbee USB Stick and flashed zigbee2mqtt firmware which allowed me to connect my Ikea bulbs bypassing Ikea hub.
It’s open-source, supports a lot of devices, very configurable, can act as a HomeKit bridge (very important for me since I’m apple boy) and many other nice things. There’s an awesome software for home-automation called Home Assistant. Here’s the summary of what my Raspberry Pi does at the moment 1. I’ve already had Ikea Trådfri smart lights, Xiaomi Air Purifier, Sonos Play 5, but I wanted some device that could expand their functionality and provide unlimited potential for future opportunities. That chart of theirs can be updated and AdGuard could checkmark few other boxes.One evening, I decided to buy Raspberry Pi to make my home smarter. I have both running and my recco still stands for AdGuard for extended features for anyone looking to filter per client, specially with kids. One of the killer features for me, given I can easily enable parental, safe search and also enable family shield dns from opendns. Individual upstream config per client is not available on pihole. I didn't even mind AdGuard when I was testing it I just find configuring pi-hole easier for me and the AdGuard 'we're better than pi-hole, if we move the goalposts far enough' chart really doesn't sit well with me. They might have a point about having secure DNS available off the start, but installing cloudflared or unbound are relatively simple and they guides provided are pretty much cut and paste. Per-client filtering has been available since the 5.x series was released, pi-hole is technically more efficient with filters (no a dev but I've read developer Dan's input on this), and if sshing into a pi and running 'pihole -up' once every few months when FTL gets updated I would seriously consider using nextdns.io (actually a great service for people who don't want the headache of running their own DNS server).
(Specially if you are on their beta stream).Įxcept all of those things are available for pi-hole, so they're not even correct about what features they have that are 'better'. I had felt the same about the support but the package does get updates frequently and developers are active on telegram etc. I don't see anything wrong and the new features are much better than Pi.Hole's, including more efficient way of handling filters, updates and pre-client based DNS filtering, which isn't available on Pihole. I'd imagine they are responding to the community's inquiry on their package vs pi.hole which came first.
