Current Stack — What We're Working With

7 tools, each doing one thing well — but that's a lot of context-switching

N

Notion

Docs, service inventory, project tracking, KB

TS

Tailscale Serve

Static dashboards (circadian chart, etc.)

HA

Home Assistant

Automation, sensors, lighting, devices

D

Discord (Rosey)

Alerts, notifications, family comms

M

Monarch Money

Financial tracking, budgets

n8

n8n

Workflow automation

Py

Custom Scripts

Circadian updater, calibration, monitoring

Pain Points

Context-switching between 4+ browser tabs

Notion for docs, but dashboards on Tailscale Serve

Alerts only via Discord (no unified view)

Service inventory split: Notion page + HA + scripts

No single place to see "is everything healthy?"

What Should Stay

Home Assistant — irreplaceable for automation

Monarch — specialized finance, no OSS match

n8n — mature, 400+ integrations

Python scripts — purpose-built custom logic

Discord — family comms (alerts can move)

Lux-Driven Preset System

The circadian system computes target illuminance per room using science-backed lux curves (Brown et al. 2022), then translates through per-fixture calibration data to exact brightness percentages.

Key insight: at 2700K warm white, the melanopic EDI to photopic lux conversion uses MDER = 0.47. Melatonin suppression ED50 is only ~25 photopic lux — the old system was setting Butler's Pantry to 290 lux at 6am (14x above safe evening threshold).

Architecture:

time_of_day + room_type → target lux (science curve) → min(target, ambient * ratio) → calibration curve → brightness% → SET_PRESET_LEVEL

Ambient reference: Currently using Living Room FP300. Planned migration to sun.sun solar elevation — see sun.sun Reference Plan.

Validation (2026-03-17):

Butler at 4% = 5 lx, Pantry at 17% = 4 lx. Different fixtures, nearly identical perceived brightness. System working as designed.

Recommendation

1

Start with Huly

Biggest bang for the buck

Single deploy replaces Notion docs, project tracking, and team chat. Native mobile apps. Migrate Tailscale Services page, C4 audit, circadian docs, upgrade roadmap. Use built-in chat for alerts instead of Discord #server-alerts.

2

Add Grafana Later

When you want real dashboards

If HA's built-in dashboard isn't enough for sensor visualization, Grafana gives you time-series charts, threshold alerts with native Discord webhooks, and embeddable panels. Pairs with Huly — Grafana does monitoring, Huly does everything else.

What stays as-is

Home Assistant Monarch Money n8n Python Scripts Discord (family comms)

Migration Path

Week 1: Deploy Huly on EQR1 (Docker Compose)

Week 1: Expose via Tailscale Serve

Week 2: Migrate Notion docs (start with service inventory)

Week 2: Set up #server-alerts channel in Huly chat

Week 3: Move project tracking (circadian, climate, etc.)

Later: Add Grafana if monitoring dashboards needed

Later: Evaluate replacing Notion entirely
