Turned off the Home Assistant and IOT Server

There were a number of changes I made to the network this week in preparation for the move to Greenspring:

• Took down the RPiPWS and turned off the Tempest weather station.  This is now ready to be packed up.
• I moved the NodeRed docker containers from RPiKodi to an LXC container on my Proxmox server.  I then took down RPiKodi and it is now ready to be packed up.
• I copied the HA-IOT docker containers from the HA-IOT server to an LXC container on my Proxmox server.
• This morning I turned off the HA-IOT server that has been running commanding my lights in the house.  The HA-IOT server and the switch that I was using to send back the data to my router are now ready to be packed up.
• I then spun down the two LXC containers on the Proxmox server since they are no longer needed.
• I removed the hardware IOT equipment from the living room and side room.  These are now ready to be packed up.

All of this seems like loosing an old friend that I have been playing with over these past few years.  But, in hindsight I did learn a lot and now I am ready to take on other challenges.  It will be a few weeks until I am packed and ready to move to Greenspring Village, but at least I will not have these items nagging me in the back of my head.

Turned off the PWS from streaming data to Weather Underground and CWOP

So, while I was out on vacation, my contractor did some work on the house in preparation for sale.  One of those things involved taking down my PWS from the chimney and painting it.  Since I am going to be moving into a retirement community at the end of the month, I decided to stop transmitting data to WU and CWOP in order for the data to remain "pure".

When I got home from vacation, I simply shut down the Raspberry Pi that had been running my weather station for almost 8 years now.  I don't think that I will remove the WU and CWOP IDs just yet.  That is for another time if I can't get the station back up in a good spot.  Right now, with 8 inches of snow on my deck, I will have to wait until some thawing before I will be able to find the Tempest station in order to turn it off.

Update: I have also signed out of Weather Underground and CWOP since I am no longer sending data.
