The traffic is really suspicious. Have you by any chance a health or heartbeat endpoint which provides continuous output? That would explain why so little hits cause so much traffic.

It is an open alternative to MS365 developed on behalf of the German ministry of the interior and distributed as open source software.

If I remember correctly it is not an independent development but it is based on existing software and integrating them to build a consistent service.
I think it combines Nextcloud, Element, Jitsi and some other projects.


The community edition allows me to have multiple sites, multiple users and is way easier to set up. If I ever need additional features like funnels I would need a subscription for both - Plausible is less expensive.


Just a word of warning for everyone: The free self hosted version is heavily limited. I will stick with Plausible which may be simpler but also doesn’t want to push me into a subscription.

The easiest thing: We use a motion sensor to automatically turn on the light for the stairs. You wouldn’t need Home Assistant for that, but with a little more configuration you can adjust the light levels and colour temperature based on the time of day (not as disturbing at night). We have two rooms which have problems with humidity in one a fan is automatically turned on (basic) in the other a dehumidifier is triggered based on the outside and inside temperature because there are large windows which are producing a lot of condensation otherwise. Now the really specific stuff: My daughter has Diabetes and we need to manage her blood glucose levels. There are alarms but ideally you would act before they are triggered. So we hooked her blood glucose levels to a light in our bedroom which turns on if her levels are getting out of bounds at night. That way she isn’t woken by the alarm, but by one of us and can go back to sleep much quicker.


That’s easily Home Assistant. It got me into the whole home automation stuff and I have gradually included more and more parts into it - including some health related stuff. It really makes my family’s life easier and helps us organizing it.
You may want to change the title and include the word “protection”…
