Expert generalist • Independent Contractor • Microsoft MVP • Home Assistant enthusiast Hi there! I'm Bogdan Bujdea, a software developer from Romania. I'm currently a .NET independent contractor, and in my free time I get involved in the local .NET community or I'm co-organizing the @dotnetdays conference. I consider myself an expert generalist, mostly because I enjoy trying out new stuff whenever I get the chance and I get bored pretty easily, so on this blog you'll see me posting content from programming tutorials to playing with my smart gadgets.

Hi Nikhat! Do you know what's the package size that you have? If I remember correctly, the maximum package size is around 1Gb, so you shouldn't try to upload a file larger than this.

I think it would be overkill to monitor computer games with Home Assistant if this is the only thing you want to use it for. There are better solutions out there that are made just for this, and probably some of them are free as well. However, if you already have Home Assistant and you want to integrate this, then you could make some simple automations that would turn off their PC at a certain hour or it would cut out access for certain websites in a specific interval of time. It mostly depends on what you want to do exactly :)
Thanks for the comment May. I don't know anything about iRobot, but I can say about my Roborock that I'm very satisfied with it. I hope in the future they will make a version that can attach its own mop or dispose the dust bin, but other than that it's perfect. As for Wi-Fi, all of them use 2.4 Ghz because it has a better range than 5 Ghz Wi-Fi, so I don't think there's much difference here. If you have problems with the Wi-Fi coverage in your home then I would suggest you buy an Unifi AP.
