Esp motion detectors?
mmwave + pir, yeah
Wiki: The millimeter-wave radar can sense human presence, stationary and moving people within the detection area. Moreover, it can even detect static or stationary human presence such as a sleeping person.
tiny motion for presence
NICE
The good alarm detectors have mw (for objects coming towards and away from detector) and passive ir (crossing detector) your little thing is quite advanced
Good job
Sometimes that is a great thing!
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
Is that for WAF enforcement?
this is what's wrong with the world
substitute? all because the following day as monday you get off work? that needs to be highlighted?
Perhaps
That new announcenent is awesome
Looking forward to be able to control my lighting in raccoon
"racsnack me"
I only use my Alexa-type devices for home automation, and specifically to go straight to HA, so I'm all in
On a serious note, I am tinfoil hat when it comes to sound recording, so it is a big nope from me haha
New raccoon movie remakes on the way in 2023
So excited
the world is in need a new superhero as well
Lol, nice try Satan
okay, shoulder is out
workbench is clear ๐
maybe tomorrow I will mount them
I need to order wall conduit things
everything has been printing great so far (knock on wood) but i can't tell if that first layer is telling me if the nozzle is too far from the bed or not
Fake video is fake. There is an emergency unlock and according to the reviews it is not at all durable.
not sure which is funnier. the video or people destroying those things to get their phone back
The best review I read was someone that tested a newly arrived case by putting their phone in it only to find they'd been sent a dud and it would never unlock.
ugh printed a tall skinny thing that I knew I should have layed over on it's side and sure enough 80% in the first layer on one corner let loose and presto... mess
meh it got colder last year
The PS5 is so ridiculously fast compared to the 4, i sit on the loading screen waiting for it to load, but it just wants me to press a button immediately after it showing up
lol consoles
Currently a subscriber to Nabu Casa Cloud, how can I donate more to the business if I want to provide more financial support?
You can't
@clear ferry shame, thanks for the quick response
go to your local maker space or open lab, light the fire (metaphorical) to get more mass and traction so the business model works better ๐ฎ
see, climate change is a hoax, lets continue to burn coal and oil
how else would you counter the cold?
warm thougts
ohh, are those these prayers I keep hearing about?
could be, yes
I thought you'd want to automate opening the front door for raccoons...
Hey guys!
My name is Michael and I represent a startup currently developing an integration for Home Assistant. I have asked you guys previously a few qโs, and I wanted to know if anyone is available for a 20-30 min call in Discord? Curious about your experience with smart home guys:) Please let me know here in a reply or in DM if youโre available.
just go to hangout, people will join when they have time ๐
D: remember google hangouts?
it was great
best thing ever
ah so it was you guys that kept that garbage hanging on for that long
Brb gonna Omegle ze germans
I never thought there would be anything worth having inside peoples homes.... doormats are normally outside
We have a doormat outside and a doormat inside
the famous doormat sandwich door
I skipped out on a resistor a couple of years ago and I think it finally killed my esp. ๐
Stolen from Mastodon:
A smart house that relies on external third party servers is actually a dumb house terminal.
Reminds me of the Wyse50 serial terminals that we used when I was in high school to connect to a 386-based server
I put my dog's bed in front of my closet and it was a bad idea. I always want to get something out of there but there is just a dog being peaceful and I don't want to mess that up.
maybe later
I shall make a case now that I can. this device is from before my printer and it is very ugly
Getting dressed is overrated
haha, office closet at least
This part I am looking at gives me the distance between screw holes which is awesome but they don't tell me the size of the hole. I might actually have to get up
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.
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
I had a similar issue last week.
I can't remember which status it was stuck in, I think cat sensor interrupt
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
I've been thinking I need to add a sensor for the last clean cycle datetime
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'}}}
it's fun time!
then 30 minutes later:
2022-12-20 20:38:04.159 DEBUG (MainThread) [pylitterbot.robot] Litter Robot 4 updated: {'values_changed': {"root['catDetect']": {'new_value': 'CAT_DETECT_STUCK_LASER', 'old_value': 'CAT_DETECT_CLEAR'}}}
they do update the firmware pretty often, so I imagine it's a moving target
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
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
These are all the ones in my latest log:
2022-12-20 20:38:04.159 DEBUG (MainThread) [pylitterbot.robot] Litter Robot 4 updated: {'values_changed': {"root['catDetect']": {'new_value': 'CAT_DETECT_STUCK_LASER', 'old_value': 'CAT_DETECT_CLEAR'}}}

that's with all the nonsense last night
If you look in the app's history, do you have corresponding faults/entries that you can share too?
Yeah, boutta get nasty across a good chunk of the US
get the whole family together and huddle up D:
I saw -45c some places
-12c in houston
-25c in kansas city
aka Normal Norwegian temperatures
I wish it got this cold here this winter. So I can get out the good jacket ๐
I have a swedish naval coat that is very good when it is -25c outside
it weighs about 20kgs
I need some heated gloves for when I am working
lol, what does your filament say on the package for its range?
205-225
It has strings at 220-225, so 205 is probably great
NICE
so I am pretty sure I need to replace my nozzle as I never have. ๐
There is an inuendo in there, somewhere
I'm printing Michelle some Dil..... Lawnmower stuff, that's right, lawnmower stuff
Well anything is a Dil, if you are brave enough
He is printing me 2 giant balls
I think you got a bad unit. even my other LR4 didn't do wonky stuff like that. technically I have 3 LR4's right now and none of them did state changes like that
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
I think the problem was that that there was something blocking the laser
I wiped down that area and it finished the cycle
cat fling poop into the cut out holes? lol
knock on wood this replacement unit hasn't had a single hiccup
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
helped? on the LR4?
interesting, mine just dumps any extra over the line into the bin the first cycle
mine does too, but it helps to take a bit more out
that's one of the troubleshooting suggestions
if you keep getting issues.. rma that shit.. unit is too expensive to deal with bs imo
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?"
my LR4 has only ever sit on hard surfaces but my LR3 is currently and has been on carpet
it's less sensitive by like an order of magnitude
they have to be getting slammed with returns and issue calls. i been dealing with mine since it arrived in june lol
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
I've had almost no issues with mine knock on wood
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
glad i bought a package of dupont wires eons ago. stupid 80cm wire that came with the BLTouch was just a little short
whats that? homemade alexa?
cover your electronics in nail varnish, keeps water and such away from the magic smoke parts
doorbell? that block is a doorbell?
probably has to be smacked by a hammer
It's a speaker for notifications
Doorbell button makes this make noise
I've been using it for a couple of years or so without pretty box
"Get off my lawn you miscreant!"
Maybe just a year
It's for me, inside
It doesn't go outside, lol
It does laundry done noise, door left open noise, doorbell noise
Stuff like that
what if you have all 3 happen at once?
It do the music
you check the dryer for your amazon delievery?
Hrmm, probably could add delivery stuff
It occurred to me... if you have a natural gas powered backup generator, and the local energy grid crumples under heat demand due to low temps... that generator is probably not gonna help you...
Don't you have your laundry delivered by Amazon?
backward flyover states
i have @tidal bronze drop them as he flies over. they arrive dry and fresh that way
Laundry? Haven't heard that in a while.
oh that's right. keep forgetting those peel off skin suits that you just peel off a new layer every morning before coffee
Yep
more worried about the snow and winds tbh
I'm gonna be out driving on rural roads during most of it
yeah, I will be inside mostly. 50mph winds won't be fun on rural roads
Especially not in a RWD cargo van
at least semi trucks are heavy. I'm just a giant sail.
we had -35 once when I was paramedic,
there was one russian who got lost on the slope and found shelter in a snowcat.
we found him next day pretty frozen and with a a blood-alcohol content of over 5.0
that bastard stood up 10 minutes later and wondered what the heck we are doing with him
lol I bought a couple sensors and a pi and set this up now I'm addicted and want to z wave everything
Fun, my dog just got me blocked by MS's oauth server
Not sure what key she was sitting on
yea it wasn't cheap ๐

Well what do the esp32 do?
All my raspberries do things, esp32 couldnt do
I have one for pihole/wireguard and then 2 others on printers
if I were to buy something today though it would not be pis
all my raspberries do things, a few my esp32 do too
collecting dust
my raspberry been a great toy, but i never really used it
someone gave me a 3b for free at a drone meetup so one of those is on a printer. free pi!
free pie!
I ran HA off of a 4b up until a month or two ago, for two years maybe, perfectly fine but HA is on a mini pc now
-18c outside right now
Why has the US built those mountain ranges to work like a venturi tunnel smh
I went to go put the cover on my grill but said fuck it
Good luck though, the temperatures I saw predicted looked quite yikes
second year running? Or was it 2020 when Texas froze?
There's freezing and then there's your whole infrastructure freezing ๐
Your house is probably much better isolated than the average one in Texas, so you need less power to keep it nice and warm.
soonโข๏ธ
We'll see about that. Just add some more age and the neck pain will get worse
But yes, probably better insulated
Whiplash, unfortunately
oof that sucks
Some daft bitch using her phone
Crashed into us ona clear day on a 300M straight bit of road where we stopped because of an animal running out
Sober? Either way though, people should understand how dangerous using a phone while moving 100kph is
Got MRI results next week so I guess I will find out if there is something they can do other than call me lazy for not training, then tell me I trained too much when I did train
I believe sober yes, it was only 70km/h road, but a reasonable impact
Daft Bitch - Without Her Phone
With or without I think
7th Oct last year
Went in ambulance to hospital
Didn't even get blue lights and sirens
So bloody disappointed
Anyway!
So yeah, I hope places like Texas are trying to cold proof i fastructure
Didn't even get billed $60000 to be driven 5 minutes in an ambulance?
Damn socialist
Wait, Swedes have to pay for ambulance rides?
i had to pay just 10โฌ for my ambulance ride from one hospital to another
Y'all cray
but i didn't had to pay a dime, when one transported me from home to the hospital when i was 15
an ambulance without lights and sirens is just a fancy Uber
Yeah and didn't even get blue lights and sirend
AEXACTLY
a fancy and very comfortable uber!
ambulances really aren't comfortable
Generally you tend to be under some discomfort even before getting into one
you clearly have not been in a german one then
true enough
nope ๐
I'd be afraid of a pickup truck of that size too
I wish I had audio enabled so you can hear the wind, lol
You seem to have it bad there
Aww you can see I have been climbing on your bonnet
Hood. Bonnet is too fancy for this chat
No Krampus?
it's sideways right now
like 170 degrees
I have this big dumb field next to me
wind likes to go vroom
Power went out at my farm. Last pic from the structure was around 6:30am but thankfully my 4g camera at the drive is still going strong lol
If it didn't say farm in the bottom right, you would never know
Phew. Gifts are finally wrapped.
Thats some very impressive wrapping
Thanks! It took about as long as all the others combined.
Should then put it in a box and wrap the box ๐
A couple hours?
About one and a half.

wish i had time to setup the temp sensor in the barn. curious what the ambient temp is there now
it's -20 here at the house
mine had 20C while it was outside at -20C but it has probably 70% load
@forest edge lots of work to be done in KC. Life expectancy not looking good. You might need 1 sensor in the barn and 28 in the house. ๐คฃ
expectancy and what actually happens is two diffrent things. it's no surprise californians think they will live forever lol

are you printing a raccooon?
Maybe
Some 21st century Weird Science going on there
I've had good luck with TPU
As in it didn't work at first very well and then I asked a buddy for their slicer settings and it has worked ever since.
It's all about retraction
TPUs are for AI though
sorry honey, my retraction was horrible,it's sticking to your hotend
o.0 naughty
that is literally all I changed to make it perfect
I've printed more TPU than anything else
Mr "flexible" prints
lol, drones don't like anything else

pfft, if you program your drones to be picky, that's on you
I've printed some things for them like spacers out of PLA ๐
but if I printed other stuff it would explode on harder landing

Raccoons feature prominently in Everything, Everywhere, All at Once. A weird, but enjoyable movie
that movie was weird
Very

I hadn't heard of it, but listened to a Song Exploder episode from the guys who did the song in the end credits
Sex toys also feature prominently. That was unexpected
ugh plex spam emails spotlighting movies older than dirt

I have never been so scared in my life
the bad thing is, those things come with platter drives. not ssd's so i'm pretty sure it's toast toast lol
Yea, spinners need climate control. They don't like getting too cold or too hot.
I wouldn't run one below freezing personally
14F would probably be fine as long as it never turned off but a cold start at that temp would be rough on the drive
never opened the NVR so never thought about it
biscuits n gravy?
How is this comfortable?
You really need to follow the manual when assembling your IKEA cat
Damn you're right, I put the FLรRINGSTRA on backward

Hey smartfreaks, guess what's everybody getting this christmass xd
are those cup holders?
I guess anything could be a cup holder?
are they not cup holders? sure look bowl shaped
All computers used to come with them
made spaghetti twice
Uhh just got my Bambulab X1 C a few days ago
just looked which ports are exposed
itโs running a mosquitto MQTT Broker locally at the standard port without login credentials
I guess I have to make a HA integration ๐
wifi bulbs ๐คฎ
maybe if you can reflash them with tasmota or similar... even then I'd much rather have zigbee
screw that, wait for matter
I'm not convinced it's better than zigbee in practice
building on top of IP, which was designed with the assumption that every node is always listening, seems kinda, ehhh
eh... rethinking that right now
eh, we'll see how it develops, but I'm of the opinion that waiting for a better technology is never good. I'd only make an exception if you know that specific suitable devices will be readily available in just a few months.
and Matter is still just an industry alliance making mid-term plans
Merry xmas
it's a starterโpack to get them addicted -> they work with a phone, that is good to try things out -> if they get sucked in, i will probably end up with having to set up HA for them as well xd
my immediate reaction is "what about the dual-radio Hue bulbs" but those are kinda spendy. Worth it, but perhaps a bit much for an introductory gift
i took my laptop to the store โ with ubuntu installed on external hdd xd just to test on one of them if tasmota will work. unfortunately, it doesnt ๐ญ at least with tuya-convert, they have "too new" chip/firmware i guess => it should have worked for old onesโฆโฆ
i started with a wifi bulb. now i have 5. and sockets. and DIY esp8266 with servo to switch central heating. and a terminal with HA. I even flashed my router with linux to make it work better with HA. all started with one wifi bulb xd
Vast majority of the tuya devices are running a firmware you can't tuya concert on. You would need to flash using the pins, or a lot of them now use a new chip that doesn't have tasmota support (there's another custom firmware that supports the new chips)
yea, i knew the risk โ that's why i took my laptop to test it outโฆ
โฆand i bought them anyway ๐
If it were for me, I'd look for other options, but I'm pretty sure for newbie receivers, tuya soft is enough. the main goal was 1000+ lumens for a reasonable price ๐
the good news is: tuya-convert works nicely for the sp 111 sockets โ I tested that as well ๐
Merry Christmas you nerds!
Not before about windows 95 ish, how young are you?
Speaking of which
I had to plug in a scart cable yesterday, the fat one with rgb pins
I don't mind HDMI as much after being reminded how unweildy a 21 pin fully wired scart is
just mod it to take USB-C
I do love the old token ring connector that looked like scart
Only had 10 pins though
that barely looks like scart o.0
sorry about the godlike appearance
the fingers aren't gods, are they?

I'll trust it when I see something that looks good ๐ฅฒ
Yeah, the one good one only covers what is essentially a prologue
nuts just how many different thumbtack hanger mounts there are for 3d printing
my floor is super out of level near the walls. I have a light fixture near the wall. I used to phone to measure the angle and made some legs to offset the angle. so much better!
it looked real goofy with the light fixture being all tilted
That alone justifies the investment in your 3D printer ๐
I probably would have folded some paper ๐
No love live laugh signs?
no
that dumb home sign has fallen like 300 times in my life with it
probably meant to be hung up but she always tries to stand it up somewhere
but also it didn't come with hardware to hang or anything
so a bit wonky
I don't believe that anything in that last picture came out of a 3D printer...
It will later
now that worries me. Do you produce filament from your excrement?
The casserole tastes a lot better than it looks
It's surprising amounts of meat tbh
Let me give you a liveshot
Salted and dried for a few months, then immersed in water to remove salt flavour 24h before consumption, then boiled for 4 hours
what animal is that? Cattle?
Lamb
we had venison ๐
Lamb is also very nice
Poor Michelle
Tiramisu
essentially, this is it
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
Yea, Proxmox is pretty snazzy.
yup, i use it too, its pretty easy and if you mess something up, nuke the ct/vm and restart from scratch
I just have qemu invocation lines on top of my head that are loooooooooooooooooong
yuck proxmox
good morning atx
what else? raspberry pi cluster?
makes me wonder how insane it'd be to run a kubernetes cluster on a bunch of pis
kubernetes is also made to tolerate their faultyness ๐
no need for physical nodes though, if I really want to test stuff I can just start a couple VMs on my corp machine
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
anyways, I need to modify some qemu invocations at work I guess. To make testing multi-node setups easier
Minikube is great for learning kubectl and deployments
Just do vagrant and ansible for node deployment

We have a lot of ansible playbooks around. But my job is to automate stuff that is currently semi-manual with ansible^^

Anyone else running something janky/jerry-rigged? I Frankensteined this together during a manic summer project using my family's first PC from 2008 and all of the subsequent laptops that broke one way or another.
one of my unmanaged switches is powered by a PSP charger
Yikes
Well I'm sure my father owned all sorts of computers himself in his life, but this was the first "family pc". (the only, everyone got laptops a few years later). It was the first pc I ever used.
I'm just getting old
We got the first family computer in 1986, first x86 in 89, built my first in 95, built my first server in 98
Built my last desktop in 2009, been laptop only since 2017
You've been building servers longer than I've been alive
I've been on the internet since 1991
I can't even imagine.
Not sure I would have been the tinkerer I am back when everything was new like that. The accessibility of everything was a big part of it.
I was born that year!
Damn I'm old
Tell us something we don't know? ๐ ๐
The good news is my birthday is in a few weeks, so I may have been born before you got on the internet
I'm about to be 32, when do you become an adult? ๐ค
That's the ideal
Haha, I did that at my last job
I'm averagely aged at my current role, though someone did think I was 25 the other day which was adorable
I have one colleague who is 75, still travels the world and installs openvms boxes
Well I used to work at a technical university, most of my colleagues were pushing retirement
They stopped asking me for id when buying alcohol when I started shaving my head
I'm not doing that. I just throw a rainbow of colours in instead ๐
A little kid told me yesterday I looked like a princess elf with Christmas hair which was very cute. Also, purple should be a Christmas colour!
A ye olde female headshaving equivalent
My wife agrees purple is both Christmas and Easter colour
Your wife has excellent taste!
๐
Fun fact,power prices have fallen so much now that the average price for the month is higher than the current price, so currently we are paid to use power, so some people are renting out their EV charging points to friends, because it means their power bill will be lower
How do you feel about house guests? ๐
I have enough with two sick kids plus me and the wife with after effects of noro thanks

Ouch, been there, done that. Got the certificates. Good luck
So was Blink right? Does no one like you when you're 23?
Iโm 35 and told my parents I wanted socks for Christmas. Think Iโm getting closeโฆ
I just googled socka and got some weird but not bad results, thank you for fixing it ๐
I got socks! They're cat ones with tiaras
Slowly catching up hereโฆ I have a colleague whoโs 83. After a stroke this spring he decided to scale down to about 40 hour work weeks.
The primary network admin at one of my customers finally retired at 82
And I'm having so many strange discussions with Americans who say they want to retire at age 43-45
Damn weirdos
That said, all the Americans I talk to on those servers don't understand anything when I say I would never quit my job if I won $1m and I will work as long as I have fun
I would be bored as hell if I didn't work
My father was forced to retire at 70 because he works in state, he started working again now at 72 in private 
Make more!
I like how you think
Subwaffles
I used to be like that, but I am at the end of my 3 year cycle where I just get burned out and frustrated with everything
Going for an interview on Wednesday for a job I don't want, but going anyway
Assistant Doormat Manager to The Assistant Doormat region manager?
No, the cover job so I can scope out places to steal doormats
Ah, so a regular civilan then
The daytime job as it were
Though last count I technically have 5 jobs, plus things like helping out here. So I guess I don't get the whole "do nothing" side of things ๐
Only 5?!
I just have too much responsibility for too little money, and other "political" frustrations at the workplace
I currently do 1/5 of a job
Will be doing 4/5ths from new years
finally filled my last time offs for this year
HR is going to be so happy
I'm only transferring five vacation days
Only 112 days of paternity leave taken this year, so I actually have more to take of next year
88 days still left
oh funky popos is getting kernel 6 now
this can get interesting
even if linus says numbers don't matter anymore
funky popos
well I upgraded with a fire
that's great
now to do my production system and zfs

Hey, I want to throw a few temperature sensors around my parents place. Preferably I'd use something like aqara temp/hum sensor and throw a few around, but while my parents do have a zigbee network (hue) I don't think it supports these sensors
well, it does, if you remove the hue hub and install home assistant + zigbee2mqtt
and hue can coexist with aqara
Hue might support it, but go Z2M
My main requirements are:
Cheap, small battery operated temp/hum sensor
remote access
and I'd prefer not to throw a full HA setup up at my parents
I run it at home myself, which is why I was looking to go this way
Then have fun in hub-hell
but now I'm looking for alternatives.
What devices do they have?
just hue lights
If they're iOS based then you can at least go through HomeKit
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
And it works much better ๐
That sounds interesting
They use the hue app
I ran a site2sitevpn between my house and my parents house (2000km away) for years
I have static ip 1/1gig at home, and run unifi both here and at home
but I don't have router control at their place sadly
Unifi does have teleport though?
if you have the USG iirc
yuck unifi
and that's $$$
Unifi is nice ๐
I know it's in my UDM, but that's my only Unifi device ๐
@keen bridge Yeah that's their dream machine. It has the router in there ๐
it's basically a USG + AP
here I just have a few APs, and at home I have a U6-lite and an ERx
Seems like such an ambitious name for a common appliance
lol, got any actual reasons to dislike unifi?
you run pure aruba at home?
or ruckus? ๐
well, outside of their major data breach fuckup ? or the fact that some of their products push advertisement in the UI ? or that some of their products are cloud dependant ? and mostly it is overpriced compared to what you get, not to mention the userbase i mostly people who watch LTT, which overlap with people who shouldn't try to secure their networks ๐
I fortunately only watch LTT to laugh at how incompetent someone can be ๐
Pure aruba ? No, aruba, cisco, procurve, h3c, extreme and some other niceties ? yes
And rarely ๐
better keep that up roscha, max 1min per month
I get annoyed by just the youtube thumbnails
oh, I forgot to mention their planned obsoletion of products too
I saw they did that to some products a while back "if you upgrade you will brick your devices xyz"
I've only seen 'you need to use a separate legacy controller instance for those'
Which ๐คท
This was some APs, would have to search some of the other discords I'm on to find the screenshot
didn't mention any legacy controller at the time
Should I be using z2m instead of zha?
I have yet to go down that rabbit hole. What would be the main benefits?
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
etc etc
also z2m supports devices no matter if it is coded in yet as best effort, whereas zha requires explicit support afaik
Would migrating be worth it if all I'm running at the moment is half a dozen hue bulbs with a conbee II?
well, you want to replace the conbee first anyway
re-pairing 6 bulbs is 5 minutes at worst anyway
I did 80+ devices in 45 minutes
Lol that's just a wee overkill for... pretty much everyone xD
And There's nothing wrong with LTT. It's entertainment
They never claim anything else
well, my current production stuff is a 15+ years old cisco switch + 10 year old procurve and a 7 year old x86 box for pfsense, total worth probably $20 + $40 + $200
I'll probably wait until I get a new coordinator and migrate during the setup for that then
yes
@clear ferry Not worth the $$$ in power you'd pay here ๐
Did consider setting up some x86 box as my router, but my power is close to 0.5 eur/kwh
My power bill last month was $1200
๐ฎ
but state subsidized most of it
because we have extreme prices right now
I'm used to $0.001 per kwh
tbf, my previous opnsense box didn't pull more than 35w probably
and routed 600\600 fine + internal bgp networks + 6 internal other networks and more
my current production box (DL380 Gen9 \ 128GB \ 24c \ 75+TB storage) pulls average 95w for the host
the disk attached draws it all up to around 400w
I need to set NUT back up

I need to put like a pi in my office just for the UPS
Man it feels like such a waste to burn a pi3 for my parents to have remote temperature access
but HA with homekit just seems.... easy
I have bought so much shit over the years to install at my parents but it has always been such a hassle to get things going while I'm there. I realized last night I can just set up a SSID that matches theirs and hook everything up and then just plug it in over there. ๐
and what is wrong with a CC2652R?
such as?
delivery time, no communication
atx, you on a zzh?
I was on zzh
now I'm on tubes poe coordinator
the zzh is in my drawer somewhere
as is my cc1352
going to play with matter eventually?
yes
when it becomes interesting
and I have time
so probably in 3-6 months
right now it is just for the shitkids that want the latest and greatest NOW
my zigbee network could always use another device. ๐
it will be neat for like esp32's and shit though
Looks interesting
like one kid who used to come by the PC shop I worked at 23 years ago, every week, asking "IS THERE A NEW CPU OUT YET?"
if there was a new model in, he would buy it
The shizzle my nizzle, poe is very practical
boo
I have already run some ethernet, but I don't feel like crawling in the super dusty places and pull cables for my landlord
Don't want to improve the place too much
I bought my house at 24, love being able to do what I want, but now I want a bigger house ๐
As for slae.sh, how recent is those complaints? I know they halted/closed the shop for a while back when I ordered my first stick.
no idea, haven't kept up
they delivered on time just fine, did for my friend too
I don't want to buy a house until I have someone to buy it with
too big and lonely for me
hah, I couldn't buy a house if my girlfriend was in on the loan at the time
because her income was too low compared to mine
so had to buy it alone
Yes yes, don't put the coordinator straight into the pi... it works ๐
it's surrounded by repeater devices
oh lawd the power bill
remember, > 0.4 eur/kwh
if I started the lab server I add 200w extra
That's massive
electric heating?
"only"
@clear ferry I use about 1300 kwh/year
that's.. woah
I have district heating for heat and water
My house is still 20% under the average my house size in norway
So I should add more servers to be more average y'all
96% of all power is hydro
explains the (usually) cheap power
which is why our power prices are bonkers right now
I've paid โฌ5200 so far this year in power
but most of it I get back
also, explains why you're mostly electric
heat-pumps don't really work that cold, and it's too rocky to trench district heating in
I suppose it depends on how northern you are
This is oslo area
ah ok
we have -35c winters here
๐ฅถ
I prefer -35c inland compared to -12c coastal
Well that was awkward. $0 Tip? Really?
Good luck with that
My heat pump shut down due to the cold. It's supposed to switch to a resistive heating mode to keep the coolant from condensing when it gets too cold but it got too cold for that.
we have models that go to -35c
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
Mine stopped at about -10c
It's efficiency drops off the cliff around 5c though
we had -12c to -20c all of 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
I'm about 1200km from Montana
I saw parts of US had like -60 ยฐC wind chill
Yea, wind chill where I'm at got to -45c
Yea, only time I went out during that was to let my dog out.
Did the dog want to go out? ๐
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?
Grocy would be my recommendation
It has exactly that functionality built in. Recipes, meal planning, grocery list generation, inventory
I'm amazed this didn't come up when I was googling around. Thank you.
There's even an #add-ons-archived for it ๐
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?
You've made me very happy. I was expecting much more work going into this.
That's the great thing about the HA community ๐
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
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 keep trying. My fridge is empty right now so when I go shopping (and go home) I will try again
I'd also want to use Monica and Firefly more consistently...
How come it can get interesting? Also I've had kernel 6 on popos for a bit now
So this Grocy, am I about to go through my whole kitchen?
Never mind, the girlfriend didn't seem excited to use it. ๐
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?
There's also a website which automates generating recipes to go into grocy too
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
heated steering wheel? what in the pampered fuck
Once you have it, you can't live without it
I'm not ashamed to enjoy the finer things,..
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
It's part of the cold weather package on my car. It also comes with heated rear seats...
bells and whistles
I had to get my car from a guy in Indiana to find one that had it
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 โค๏ธ
See, amirite?
news is saying your about to have noahs flood soon too lol
One of those features I would have never picked until I had it ๐
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
Today I wish I had one. Same with a cooled belt buckle, seat, and any dark coloured part of the car
I accidentally touched the buckle, it hurt
cooled seats are actually a thing. Not sure about steering wheels though
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 ๐
Honestly a built in fan would be nice to stop the butt cheek sweats when driving in summer
Mod it till it breaks
it would make for a great story here, so ehhh
I am tempted to retrofit heated seats
isn't that just parking in the sun for you?
Though 22 year old car so it's got a limited time left in its life
Only during summer
I also drive in winter. When it can be -5
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
Ventilated seats 
this is dumb. more addicted to 3d modeling crap than i am actually printing the stuff out
Heated seats and steering wheel (if I had a car with a heated steering wheel) even in the summer gang, reporting in
Yaaaas
I'm still amazed some people have to use sick leave for doctors appointments. My job has unlimited medical appointment leave, and normal sick leave acrewing
