I’m running the enclosure purely as a JBOD.

Inside the JBOD, I have a jumper connected to the 24-pin ATX motherboard power connector so that the PSU can power on without a motherboard installed.

The drives are connected through SAS SFF-8644 to SFF-8087 adapters. From there, two Mini-SAS SFF-8644 to SFF-8644 HD external cables connect the JBOD to an LSI 9300-8e SAS HBA running in IT mode, which is installed in my Unraid PC.

When the JBOD loses power, the Unraid machine itself is always completely fine and remains powered on. It’s only the JBOD enclosure that shuts down.

Today I tried replacing with a known good power supply and it didn’t seem to change anything, it’s powered off since

Hey guys,

I’ve been on a bit of a journey to get rid of as much cloud-based and subscription-based smart-home tech as possible. The final piece of the puzzle is replacing my Amazon Alexa devices.

I’ve found myself using Alexa less and less over the past couple of years, and I’d really like to replace the Echos with something based around Home Assistant that can continue working even if my internet connection goes down.

I’m not looking for anything particularly complicated, and I’d strongly prefer everything below to be processed locally.

The main things I’d like to be able to do are:

• Walk into a room and say “Nabu, turn on the lights” and have it turn on specific lights assigned to the room I’m currently in.

• “Nabu, turn off the lights” and have the same room-aware behaviour.

• “Nabu, turn on/off the lights in the bedroom/living room/kitchen” to control lights in a specified room from anywhere in the house.

• Ask “Nabu, what time is it?”

• Set timers, ideally with support for multiple simultaneous timers, as I use these quite a lot when cooking.

• Some basic Music Assistant controls, such as play, pause, skip, resume, etc.

The big requirement for me is that the core voice functionality continues to work completely locally without an internet connection. I’m trying to avoid replacing Alexa with something that’s effectively just another cloud-dependent voice assistant.

I already have Home Assistant running and most of the smart-home side of things is set up, so this is mainly about finding the best way to add local voice control around the house.

For anyone who has gone down this route, what hardware/setup would you recommend? And are all of the things above currently possible with Home Assistant’s local voice setup?

Anyone on here tried this kit is it good ? And is it easy to install?
