so I tried to make a script that just calls media_player.play_media, telling a Roku player to open TuneIn and have it start playing a specific station, only to hit a roadblock that I'm pretty sure is a bug with the TuneIn app on Roku...
apparently they actually cared enough about my odd use case with Home Assistant to escalate it to a supervisor within just 2 email messages lmao
for details on exactly wtf I mean - to be clear, I don't need help with anything, there's just no way to make this work because of a problem with TuneIn itself:
service: media_player.play_media
target:
entity_id: media_player.roku
data:
media_content_id: 1453
media_content_type: app
extra:
content_id: s34568
media_type: live
what this is supposed to do is open TuneIn and begin playing KOST 103.5. the TuneIn app on the Roku, however, says it can't play it because there's no compatible streams. but when you search for the station in the UI on the Roku itself, it suddenly has no problem playing the exact same station.
primal laurel
Is it only with this specific station or also others?
rare patrol
Is it only with this specific station or also others?
other stations as well. they first claimed it was because the Roku players didn't support AAC - which is wrong anyway, but I rolled with it & then followed up with "if that's the case, how come it plays just fine when played from the UI?"
then they followed up asking for technical info & a video demonstrating what it's doing exactly, and now I'm waiting for a reply after the one I've posted a screenshot of
wouldn't be my first roundabout with a company's tech support over what ultimately turned out to be a software bug - went back and forth with Native Instruments over some libraries catastrophically breaking if the samplerate is set to 192khz when I exported my tracks, and managed to trick iZotope customer support into... providing support for an OS they don't develop for lol
the case with iZotope is especially funny, I falsely put my OS down as Windows 10 just to see where it would get me. after 12 emails back and forth I ended up in a call + remote desktop session with the person who oversees their entire customer support team, at the same I used stock GNOME with only 3 or so extensions, they could've very easily noticed what I was running wasn't Windows 10... yet somehow they didn't! (or at least said nothing about it)
it ultimately didn't lead to solving my issue, but looking back at it now I still laugh about it a bit, everything was either running in WINE and therefore looked like ancient Windows UI, or it was something obvious like the GNOME overview or the "Run A Command" dialog that I even used to open regedit for them

Everything related to fonts and printing is kinda frozen in time.
And when Microsoft includes a modern alternative along-side the legacy version of something, people complain that functionality is duplicated (Control Panel / Settings App being a prime example).
Rock, meet hard place 🤷♀️
Honestly, I'm kinda thankfull Microsoft has maintaned such stringent backwards compatability. The MSP I work for has a few print shops as clients, and we can run their ancient software and silk-screen printing machines on Windows 11 no problem.
Those same machines require PowerMac G3/G4 towers if you want to run the associated Apple software.
And nobody wants to maintain PowerPC Macs in a production environment in 2023 🤢

You have to be... efficient... with the encoding. This is the hex version of the payload from one of mine: 01755c0367e50004686f077d0903 which contains temperature, humidity, co2 and battery level in 14 bytes

pretty cool
i think i stick with my basic pubsub esp stuff tho 🙂
no idea if those sensors will survive being submerged

In case you're wondering how that value works:
[0175][5c] = 92 (% battery)
[0367][e500] = 0xe5 = 229 (× 0.1°C = 22.9°C)
[0468][6f] = 111 (× 0.5% = 55.5% humidity)
[077d][0903] = 0x309 = 777 (ppm CO2)

how much did that unit cost you

Gateway was about $250 USD equivalent, the temperature/humidity/co2 sensor about $100.

Weird question for the off-topic chat:
How would you do ventilation in a very well isolated energy efficient house?
HR+++ 3-layer glass panes, floor isolation, roof isolation, extra isolating layers on the walls, etc.
Obviously, I don't want to just pull cold air in, and it needs to be automated as much as possible, but in a loosely coupled kind of way
There are ventilation machines that extract heat from the outgoing air, but I would want to do that in a centralized place in the attic on the ventilation shaft, rather than put one in the living room and one in each office. Both because of cost and because of the noise that the decentralized ones add. But then I lose out on a possibility to automate and regulate per room, and although I do recover the heat, you still feel the cold air coming in through the regular ventilation holes
solar zealot
so supposedly there is a ventilation system in the house
misty pumice
Sort of. There is a ventilation shaft and it connects to the kitchen (the thing above the stove), toilet and bathroom. But none in the living room directly.
There is no active ventilation installed yet
So I am free to choose in that regard
We are going to replace the windows and basically the entire backside of the house, the outside of the living room
It's a concrete house from the 70s, the walls have been isolated already, the rest we're going to take care of in the first year we live there. We're moving in this spring
But for planning out the windows, the kind of glass and ventilation holes, we need to have a plan
solar zealot
from the people i know who have such air system, its mostly just centralized heating and then under floor distribution to each room with some valve type of thing to block it off
kinda similar to in floor heating
misty pumice
Thanks! We want to do floor heating too, that's the first thing we're going to get done there before we move in
solar zealot
i dont know how about the recovery on that works, but if thats left alone, i suppose this wouldnt be difficult to wire smartly into ha
misty pumice
So there should be no problem pulling cold air in, as long as you recover the heat on the outgoing air?
I'll still need to manually open and close the ventilation valves per room then I guess, unless there is some smart ESP32 design that will turn the knobs
solar zealot
i kinda feel this would be not a comfort issue due to centralized pre heating, but i could guess the outwards ventilation could be set to circulate instead of blow outside to some extend
but thats totally out of my knowledge
misty pumice
It's all very complicated, some people say that HR+++ glass does not make sense if you have a ventilation hole where cold air comes is
solar zealot
you could check the net for fitting smart valves if those units cant be bought with some already
misty pumice
i kinda feel this would be not a comfort issue due to centralized pre heating, b...
That would be ideal, but the house does not have the required tubes for this. A per-room solution does work both ways, but is costly and creates noise
Thanks I'll do that!

You might want to contact an expert for that. With additional insulation and poor/wrong ventilation you could get a problem with mold.

hotspots like to do client separation, so thats a problem
To my understanding the hotspot should just kinda expect all the traffic is coming from a single client 🤷
I doubt my Hotspot is gonna support the layer 2 protocols, surly the ISP thought of it
So I'm expecting my best bet is Relayd

no need for relayd if you handle your hotspot like a wan

Shame since the nanoleaf stuff I have used is great
Granted only used it in the apple homekit app, works great there
copper kindle
in my case it wasn´t working well even there, I only wanted a bulb that I could trigger a sunrise scene from an iOS automation, HA support is desired but not fundamental, and the scenes worked wrong from the Nanoleaf app and blocked the bulb when launched from the home app. I have a Wiz wifi+matter bulb here that works pretty well with both HA and iOS , gonna pick up another one that have that sunrise mode and try. Too bad it is not thread, I wanted to get rid of adding more devices to my wifi network, but...

guys, weird question, can I control power of a specific usb port on my pi that has HAOS running so I can power on and off something?
more context: I was playing soldering and assembled a 4x4x4 led cube, but I dont want it to run 24x7, and its usb powered. I could have an usb switch, but that would defeat the purpose, once all my lights are already being controlled by HAOS
primal laurel

this should work
jade totem
thanks, let me have a read
thanks I think that will do the trick, now the only concern and where I have to be very careful is to power off the correct USB, not the one that has my skyconnect 😉
prisma briar
I'm fairly certain that's an all or nothing thing on the RPi
You can either have them all powered or none powered
jade totem
darn, than no. I needed to turn of a specific port, just so the led cube doesnt remain powered on all night
the link does mention each port beind addressed, so we might have a chance, just need to specify the correct one
unless hub-crtl.c goes all in
prisma briar
It also mentions he had to turn off every port for it to actually shut off.
jade totem
the part that he does not address and where I think it my fail me is that he is not using that in his HAOS host, but in another pi.
I could probably do something like that had I had another PI where the USB ports were less important, but the current one holds my antenna as well
prisma briar
I'm pretty sure he's controlling an RPi dedicated to his 3D printer over wifi.
jade totem
yeah, he does mention his PI count is up to 5, so I reckon its not gonna be his HAOS one
ok, back to the drawing board
prisma briar
The behavior is different between RPi 3 and RPi 4
RPi 3 has two groups of two ports that can be turned off, RPi 4 is all or nothing
primal laurel
for pi 4b you need a hub that supports it then
but apparently those hubs are quite rare
jade totem
so, not the usb on the board itself
primal laurel
im not sure if turning off the power also disables communication. Probably not
but if it doesn't, they you could also externally power the stuff you want to keep alive
any dumb hub will do in that case
prisma briar
You could do something like put a relay or mosfet on the power line for that USB cable and control it from a gpio pin too
jade totem
there is the option of having a smart plug on mains and a regular usb charger to juice up the cube, similar to what I have for christmas lights,
now that mosfet relay idea might be something to read on... im learing this tinkering pish (at a later age, I might add) but hey, why not
using GPIO to power the cube might be doable
primal laurel
GPIO cant supply power
prisma briar
You can't pull power directly from GPIO pins
jade totem
hmmm
prisma briar
You might get like 50mA out of them, might be enough for a single dim LED
primal laurel
I was thinking:
rpi --> powered hub --> anything you want to keep connected (like zigbee)
rpi --> cube
Then turning off power will not affect the hub but your cube will turn off
jade totem
hmmm, I see what you mean
primal laurel
kind of like when I turn off my pc my headset is still charging
jade totem
or go with this if feeling too lazy?

You can't pull power directly from GPIO pins
There is a 5v pin on the header with the GPIO pins but there's nothing special about it compared to the USB port 5v (except it's not switched at all). If the light doesn't need any data at all you could power a mosfet or relay from that 5v pin
But you can't power it from the GPIO pin itself
primal laurel
https://thepihut.com/products/usb-power-switch-module
this one you could control via GPIO
I've done something like that before
jade totem
now that might be something...
im willing to try that

Like, I'm going to a party on Friday
And me and a girl got the brilliant idea to go as Tinkerbell and captain hook
(theme is heroes and villains)
(I low key like her)
She's posting some pictures on bereal where she's creating a new Tinkerbell dress because she couldn't find a green dress
So I'm like, aaaaa
What do I get
I can hardly find anything that fits me and is like captain hook
And the party itself isn't that brilliant, as in, it's in a cellar in Utrecht
So I also don't want to put in too much effort
So I want to be the best Ali Express version of captain hook possible

Go as ICQ. A flower mask and a tshirt with the contacts list. And shouting "Oh ohhhhhh!"
And when she asks, why you aren't Hook, you can answer: "Because ICQ"
