We are preparing for potential service outages that may occur as a result of Winter Storm Elliott. If you lose power during the storm, please contact your local utility company for updates. Once power is restored and conditions are safe, our technicians will resolve any service issues.

We will send you a message to let you know if your Spectrum service is affected.

#

pretty sure the lights going out and your inability to reach me will be a pretty good indicator I was affected lol

I wonder if MO instituted some new law to force these companies to do this cause this is the first year and got one from the power company and another from my net provider

I'm a little late on seeing some of the messages between you and @forest edge on the Litter-Robot, but if you see discrepancies, or new status codes that aren't reported correctly, I'd love if you could post them in https://github.com/natekspencer/pylitterbot/issues so I can get them covered. Whisker has done a good job at obfuscating their code base (unfortunately for me haha), so I'm unable to see newer codes until they come through on my machine.

GitHub

Python package for controlling a Litter-Robot Connect self-cleaning litter box - Issues ยท natekspencer/pylitterbot

static schooner
#

I've had debug turned on to try to capture that, but then it didn't happen again for a while. It did happen last night, so file an issue if I find something there

#

they also seem to have some firmware issues - my unit stayed in "cat detect" for an hour last night, reported by both HA and the official app

#

anything that makes me go push buttons to fix it is a failure

serene gust
#

I had a similar issue last week.

#

I can't remember which status it was stuck in, I think cat sensor interrupt

static schooner
#

I was able to get it past a "cycle interrupted" by using the app to power it off and back on, but I think that was the catalyst for the unending "detect" state

serene gust
#

I've been thinking I need to add a sensor for the last clean cycle datetime

static schooner

Found the bits in the log. It stayed like this for almost 30 minutes:
2022-12-20 20:05:48.666 DEBUG (MainThread) [pylitterbot.robot] Litter Robot 4 updated: {'values_changed': {"root['robotCycleState']": {'new_value': 'CYCLE_STATE_CAT_DETECT', 'old_value': 'CYCLE_STATE_WAIT_OFF'}}}

#

they do update the firmware pretty often, so I imagine it's a moving target

serene gust
#

Yeah, I have an open PR for a firmware update entity for HA, too

#

I have an email chain with their Sr Technical Director, maybe I should just ask him for a list of all of the statuses

serene gust
#

When you get a chance, could you search your logs for catDetect and post the different values you've seen in that field? I'll need to include those in the logic for the robot status. The LR3 was much simpler with a single field, but looks like the LR4 has more data points I'll have to check to determine the current status

wtf does stuck laser even mean lol

that's the first time I've seen that, and I think it was a result of turning it off and back on while it was in an error state

Both my 3 and 4 had been great for a week until that weirdness. keeping the litter level a bit below the line has helped

forest edge
#

helped? on the LR4?

static schooner
#

Might be that my Tidy Cats litter is heavier than most?

#

both

forest edge
#

interesting, mine just dumps any extra over the line into the bin the first cycle

static schooner

mine does too, but it helps to take a bit more out

#

that's one of the troubleshooting suggestions

forest edge
#

if you keep getting issues.. rma that shit.. unit is too expensive to deal with bs imo

static schooner

getting rid of the rug helped, and lowering the litter also helped, so I think I'm on the right track

call them up "first of all, do you know how hard it is to get my ass into this machine?"

forest edge
#

my LR4 has only ever sit on hard surfaces but my LR3 is currently and has been on carpet

static schooner
#

it's less sensitive by like an order of magnitude

forest edge
#

they have to be getting slammed with returns and issue calls. i been dealing with mine since it arrived in june lol

static schooner
#

I think they went a little overboard by trying to be so precise on the weight

#

I would change the trigger to be less sensitive, and then when you're absolutely sure there's a cat in there, feel free to weigh with higher sensitivity

serene gust
#

I've had almost no issues with mine knock on wood

forest edge
#

they need to ditch the ir sensor all together in my opinion

just hope the LR5 takes all the things they got right on the LR3 and marry it with the opening size of the LR4 lol

this server (TestUbuntuServer2) is where I have Home Assistant

you can use the console from there too! And since it's a VM, it's direct video feed from the "screen" itself, so even if you fuck up the network settings, you won't lose connectivity

#

creating a new VM is as easy as it can get. Set a name, put an .iso, set the number of cpu cores, RAM and disk space and call it a day. Of course there's MUCH more to it, but that's only if you want to. The basic setup/usage is extremely basic for such a powerful tool

Albeit makes more sense to do it via kvm on beefier hardware to be able to scale up and down faster during labs

our codelab uses minikube to just have a cluster on the corp machine
Which allows to learn some usage, but doesn't help with administrating nodes

Hue might support it, but go Z2M

My main requirements are:
Cheap, small battery operated temp/hum sensor
remote access

I run it at home myself, which is why I was looking to go this way

just hue lights

If they're iOS based then you can at least go through HomeKit

proud ore

they are

and they have an apple TV here that can work for remote stuff

clear ferry

if you have a site to site vpn you can do a ethernet zigbee coordinator and just tunnel it to a zigbee2mqtt instance in your house

But from experience: I moved my parents to HA and they don't know the difference as they still use the Home app

multiple instances of HA can use your zigbee devices (dev \ test \ production) you can upgrade zigbee2mqtt outside of upgrading HA, you can move z2m to another server than HA

also z2m supports devices no matter if it is coded in yet as best effort, whereas zha requires explicit support afaik

My natural gas was doing most of the heating though, I was just using the heat pump to keep some exterior rooms warm.

mine says -25, but it still runs fine at -35c

The compressor on my parents' heat pump broke and they've yet to get the quote to install the new one

prisma briar
#

Mine stopped at about -10c

clear ferry
#

then it wouldn't run here half of winter

#

๐Ÿ˜„

prisma briar
#

It's efficiency drops off the cliff around 5c though

clear ferry
#

we had -12c to -20c all of last week

prisma briar
#

It won't even run here a good chunk of the winter, lol

#

Our low was -15c last week

#

coldest so far at my place this winter is -22, but we've had -36 some place already I've seen

#

I saw montana had -45c yesterday or something

prisma briar
#

I'm about 1200km from Montana

I saw parts of US had like -60 ยฐC wind chill

prisma briar
#

Yea, wind chill where I'm at got to -45c

Stay safe over there.

And indoors.

prisma briar
#

Yea, only time I went out during that was to let my dog out.

#

Did the dog want to go out? ๐Ÿ˜›

prisma briar
#

She wanted to run around but didn't stay out for long

#

Ran in a couple circles, pooped, came back in

Haha, smart girl

I'm wanting to catalogue recipes and generate grocery lists just by selecting the meals for the week. Maybe a dialog before generating the list that allows you to omit what you already have enough of. Base functionality can probably be achieved in excel but I have a feeling that Bookstacks could potentially play a role in streamlining that process?

keen bridge
#

Grocy would be my recommendation

#

It has exactly that functionality built in. Recipes, meal planning, grocery list generation, inventory

midnight adder
#

I'm amazed this didn't come up when I was googling around. Thank you.

midnight adder
#

Beautiful!

#

Wow, chore tracker and all kinds of things. Is it too ambitious in hoping I can get info from the add-on onto a dashboard?

#

Thats probably better asked in another channel, yeah?

keen bridge
#

You'll find them listed in HACS

midnight adder
#

You've made me very happy. I was expecting much more work going into this.

#

That's the great thing about the HA community ๐Ÿ˜‰

midnight adder
#

Time to load the next project in the chamber.

#

I saw someone on reddit that got their Garbage Collection card to blink on trash day until you tap-to-confirm that its been taken out.

#

I really wish I had the dicipline (and family acceptance) to use grocy

midnight adder
#

Grocy will be my attempt at easing the GF into the lifestyle lol

#

It should also make division of labor easier in some areas

I'd also want to use Monica and Firefly more consistently...

So this Grocy, am I about to go through my whole kitchen?

#

Never mind, the girlfriend didn't seem excited to use it. ๐Ÿ™‚

midnight adder
#

I definitely have to be sure to avoid the whole "yeah its like this whole kitchen manager inventory thing and it does this and this and this" spiel and keep it down to "Imagine being able to automatically generate the grocery list"

#

Anyone using some nifty gadgets with HA that cost $25 or less?

Heh one of those days where the steering wheel gives you a burn

#

I like my heated steering wheel, but can't say I've ever seen a cooled one

#

Sometimes I wish I had one

forest edge
#

heated steering wheel? what in the pampered fuck

static schooner
#

Once you have it, you can't live without it

#

I'm not ashamed to enjoy the finer things,..

forest edge
#

I thought that about remote start since I had that put in aftermarket on my old truck but my current truck dosen't have it and I really don't miss it. but I could see the appeal in that but heated steering wheel? i dunno about that

static schooner
#

It's part of the cold weather package on my car. It also comes with heated rear seats...

forest edge
#

bells and whistles

static schooner
#

I had to get my car from a guy in Indiana to find one that had it

forest edge
#

my current truck has heated seats and a lot of fancy type crap.. many of it died awhile back and thankfully it was stuff i really never used lol

#

It's not popular in San Diego, but these folks don't know what they're missing

#

wouldn't heated seats in the desert just mean death?

#

oh wait, it's get cool at night there

We kinda have winter

I know people that have thick gloves in their car. Heated wheel โค๏ธ

One of those features I would have never picked until I had it ๐Ÿ˜‚

Yeah, rain for the rest of the week

I probably won't leave the house much for the next two weeks D:

just enough to have food

I accidentally touched the buckle, it hurt

#

cooled seats are actually a thing. Not sure about steering wheels though

umbral cliff
#

My car predates cooled seats being a thing, but will be something I'll look at in the future when I replace my car lol

#

most are just "ventilated", which means there's a built-in fan, but some actually route AC

#

then some ventilated seats suck and some blow ๐Ÿ™‚

umbral cliff
#

Honestly a built in fan would be nice to stop the butt cheek sweats when driving in summer

I got a heated steering wheel on the Volvo, and now I never want a car without it

I run it most of the year
