• Are there any decent android tv boxes that can power a 2tb hard drive and can install core elec to rom?

  It's a lite version of kodi like libreelec https://coreelec.org/ It does have a list of chipsets it's compatible with but wondered if anyone on here was using it with an android box without any issues. Source: 10 months ago

• How many widgets are you running with Arctic Horizon 2?

  Coreelec on the Beelink GT King 2 and Khadas VIM4 was about 40s but still acceptable. Source: about 1 year ago

• 4K Remux and dolby atmos and DTS X - which media player to install?

  TV's won't output multichannel lossless audio, only compressed audio codecs or stereo PCM. You need an external device for multichannel lossless audio. The Shield TV, tube or pro, is the only Android TV device that will output multichannel lossless audio. The Fire TV Cube 3rd Gen or a custom CoreELEC box are other options that will also do this. The CoreELEC box is the cheapest solution but requires some... Source: about 1 year ago

• Hey guys I have a old android box (x96 mini) that I’d maybe like to try and set up hopefully to play some n64 games, is there a good tutorial or some website out there to help do that or does anyone here have any information?

  You can find more info on the CoreELEC site. Typically all you do on these is flash an image to a MicroSD card, copy an appropriate dtb for CPU/RAM config and place it renamed on the root of the MicroSD, pop it in, and hold the reset button (which can be hidden, such as in the back of the 3.5mm AV port so have a paperclip handy) and keep it held while you plug in the box and it should boot.

• I have this old android tv box, there is a way to delete everything and put in it OSMC? The main reason is that I cannot update Android and the remote integration is good for kodi but not for the other features that it offers.

  Put CoreELEC on it. You can find it here: https://coreelec.org/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Working on a custom smart home app..

  HA is Home Assistant. You should check it out. Mushroom is an add on to HA’s interface that adds sone different style “cards” than what it comes with. Source: 10 months ago

• standalone systems?

  Yes, there's Home Assistant that can work completely off-line. You can find multitude tutorials on youtube on how to set it up, even using cheap solutions like Raspberry PI. Source: 11 months ago

• Turned my old 10-year-old android tablet into a wall clock/weather station

  I'm going to suggest- you ever heard of Home Assistant? It's a really useful home automation tool you could integrate with weather and clock on a dashboard. As well, you could use it to control smart devices. Source: 12 months ago

• has anyone done the big move from Spotify or other to Plex?

  As for the "what is playing" detection on my google minis. This is done with "https://home-assistant.io/". Source: about 1 year ago

• looking for a decently cheap zigbee hube

  The method that seems to work most reliability with all devices and all ecosystems is a Zigbee2MQTT software hub running on a computer alongside Home Assistant. The Z2M project has a list of compatible USB dongles which are typically around $20-30 (The Sonoff being a good one) but you still need a server (i.e. a small computer like a thin client or raspberry pi) and install and configure the software, so this...
