  • oh lawd i am glad to meet another out in the wild!

    i was fortunate to start with residential alarm and A/V. due to a talent vacuum, leapfrogged to control system programmer/service, which allowed a few forks in the road (service manager, project manager and sales,) before bringing me back to my primary passion in this industry, AV programming and design.

    but yeah I’ve installed my fair share of alarm panels, access control, thousands of camera systems.

    but most of my shit has been fixing old rich people’s wifi and kids/grandkids AV




  • when i first saw and played with music assistant i was absolutely amazed for a bit. the ability to sling tunes to any device that can be seen on the network with all metadata available on a home assistant (adjacent) dashboard? sign me up! i was thrilled at the audiobook/podcast support as well. able to tie in tidal and local music with announcement capabilities… just awesome!

    i can’t remember the exact reason why but it didn’t quite work perfectly for me, as far as “checking all the boxes”

    the companion app wasn’t quite designed to be a music source and would stop playing if screen was locked for a few seconds? on webpage it is like, constantly spamming KDE connect to continue playing, even when sending to another device.

    i am following music assistant for sure though!
