A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I bought tuya smart thermostats and they rotate for a second now and then (it sums up when you spend time in that room). It is annoying. Is that normal? Can I stop them from doing that? They shall only rotate when they adjust the temperature.

Do other brands behave the same?

I guess OP is talking about smart TRVs (Thermostatic Radiator Valves).

I've been thinking of installing some myself, but this is ones of the things I've been worried about.

I also heard that SonOff makes some very silent ones (TRVZB).

Yes. In a quiet room, like a bedroom, everything is loud. I'm not sure if that was better. Less often and shorter would be better

I wouldn't say silent, it's very audible when they switch from 6 to 25 °C. But I don't observe that occasional self regulating behaviour. So I don't mind.
