Well

steady hound May 22, 2018, 3:41 PM

#

lol

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 3:41 PM

#

Maybe... 🤷

#

It's unlikely to be easy

steady hound May 22, 2018, 3:42 PM

#

i am rethinking on hassio

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 3:42 PM

#

You get to fight Docker, and ResinOS

#

Hass.io is fantastic if the add-ons cover all you need, or you can develop your own

steady hound May 22, 2018, 3:42 PM

#

love the onclick installs, but some times it kills all the fun

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 3:43 PM

#

Once you start wanting to stray beyond that, if you're not familiar with Docker and able to build your own containers, then life gets more complicated

steady hound May 22, 2018, 3:43 PM

#

docer is alien to me

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 3:43 PM

#

Of course, if you don't know *nix then it's always going to be little complicated with a vanilla install, but there are more people to help

#

Yeah, I've not yet learned enough about Docker to know what I think of it, if that makes sense

#

It's a thing I've never had to work with

steady hound May 22, 2018, 3:44 PM

#

my linux knowledge is limited to Rasbian lol

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 3:45 PM

#

Raspbian is Debian with a slightly different coat of paint

#

Most of Debian is like any other Linux, and most modern unix platforms

steady hound May 22, 2018, 3:45 PM

#

so now you are aware of my linux skills

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 3:45 PM

#

If you can find your way around Debian then any modern unix platform is just "odd" - though anything BSD based is a whole 'nother world 😉

#

Meh, if you've found man then you're 90% of the way there

agile sinew May 22, 2018, 3:46 PM

#

@clever mortar which BSD?

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 3:46 PM

#

After that it's just experience, and repetition (and lots of Google, no matter how long you've been doing it)

#

FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD... take your pick

#

Dragonfly too, though I've not used it

#

SunOS 3 and 4 though...

magic pilot May 22, 2018, 3:47 PM

#

most of my stuff runs on illumos (the Solaris fork) since my background is in kernel development there

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 3:47 PM

#

I spent "some time" looking after Solaris boxes while Sun was around, starting with SunOS 3.x

#

Great hardware

#

Poked into the kernel side, just enough to realise I didn't brain that way, and went back to making the boxes behave 😃

agile sinew May 22, 2018, 3:49 PM

#

I used some Sun systems in college, also Novel Netware

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 3:50 PM

#

Oh, Netware... there's a nightmare from the past

agile sinew May 22, 2018, 3:50 PM

hey all. have a bit of electrical question. in my current home wiring, my lights/fans are on separate (dumb) switches and I use the pull chains on the fans to adjust speed. can I replace the fan on/off switch with a variable fan zwave switch?

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 6:08 PM

#

It'd be a Z-Wave dimmer, one designed to control a fan

shut wyvern May 22, 2018, 6:09 PM

#

yep, that's what I was looking at. just couldn't find a straight answer online if a fan dimmer could be used with fans that have pull chains

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 6:09 PM

#

Obviously you'd want to disconnect the chain so you didn't use it, and you need to use a dimmer that's rated appropriately, since not all are

shut wyvern May 22, 2018, 6:12 PM

#

excellent. thanks.

clever mortar May 22, 2018, 6:14 PM

#

Oh, and if it's a single cable that powers both the light and the fan, controlled by the cables, you'll need a dimmable bulb and be aware that the fan and light will speed up/brighten together

shut wyvern May 22, 2018, 6:14 PM

#

the lights and fan are wired separate

Somebody who used to do a bunch of videos on home automation, then vanished

#

guys & girls, yallow, very random question

#

I wanna do some stupid things like voice commands, some useful, some just for shits and giggles

#

for example play dramatic music when i shout "dramatic music"

#

which would suit better - amzn echo, g.home or some diy based on raspberry pi?

#

also apart from that - what would be better for integration with home assistant?

clever mortar May 26, 2018, 5:33 PM

#

https://www.home-assistant.io/components/#voice lists the ones that can integrate with HA

#

If you just want to shout at it with no keyword, none will work for you

#

All require a trigger phrase

simple bane May 26, 2018, 5:35 PM

#

but I guess if I have most of my things in scenes and MQTT set up with mutliple triggers

#

I could probably just set custom triggers on alexa/google side

clever mortar May 26, 2018, 5:36 PM

#

Google doesn't support custom triggers, without the use of Dialogflow

simple bane May 26, 2018, 5:36 PM

#

so that it would just send a message/trigger api endpoint

Need a ubiquiti expert... got my workshop fully insulated with foil backed insulation, which in effect has made a faraday cage... so no wifi can get into it... was wondering if unifi had a product that I could mount the antenna's to receive on the outside of the building and do it that way, or if I'm stuck digging up the garden and running an ethernet cable...

amber bramble May 29, 2018, 1:25 PM

#

@maiden estuary something like a nanostation outside the workshop could pick up the wifi from your house, then you'd need to run an ethernet cable inside the workshop to an AP in there

#

https://www.ubnt.com/airmax/nanostation-ac/

maiden estuary May 29, 2018, 1:28 PM

#

thanks @amber bramble - I'll look into that then.... I don't think the cost of that will go down with the wife very well though if I still have to buy an AP for inside... I can see myself with a shovel ruining my lovely lawn

amber bramble May 29, 2018, 1:30 PM

#

there's also this unifi mesh AP https://unifi-mesh.ubnt.com/#products which looks like it has removable antennas

maiden estuary May 29, 2018, 1:32 PM

#

any idea if the mesh is interchangeable with the standard AP's?

amber bramble May 29, 2018, 1:32 PM

#

might be able to run one of the antennas outside and one inside, not sure

#

I don't really know anything about the mesh APs 😦

maiden estuary May 29, 2018, 1:33 PM

#

no, nor do I... perhaps more research required... and again is one antenna 2g and one 5g.... not a bad idea though

ivory jewel May 29, 2018, 5:39 PM

#

@maiden estuary you may be able to do powerline ethernet

#

or https://www.ubnt.com/unifi/unifi-ap-outdoor/

Ubiquiti Networks - UniFi® AP Outdoor

Featuring Wi-Fi 802.11n, the UniFi® AP-Outdoor is ideal for outdoor deployment. The UniFi AP-Outdoor+ model operates in the 2.4 GHz radio band, and the UniFi AP-Outdoor5 model operates in the 5 GHz radio band.

     Faster, less expensive, 10x the client...

maiden estuary May 29, 2018, 6:42 PM

#

Yeah tried powerline but it has to go through two fuseboards before it gets down there and that appears to be too much for powerline

#

The outdoor ap looks perfect..just need to see if the antennas then only send the signal back to the outdoors

wraith temple May 30, 2018, 5:42 AM

#

ok folks - how do you all deal with visitors (and automation rules)? curious to see how people approach it (a simple rule that arm alarm and trigger 'goodbye' when everyone leaves is great until you have guest in the house lol)

#

do you add visitors MAC addresses, do you have 'visitor mode' ?

thorny swallow May 30, 2018, 5:52 AM

#

@wraith temple I use RFID for login/logout; I can associate any NFC/RFID device with a guest profile to allow them to arm/disarm/untrigger the alarm with RFID

#

my BLE prox system will suppliment that; but it sits outside of hass and feeds mqtt data in

#

(which will link BLE devices to the same profiles/RFID tokens in that auth middleware)

wraith temple May 30, 2018, 5:54 AM

#

huh thats quite elegant 😃 i tried BLE from a separate pi zero but didnt get whole house coverage - and i give my guests a door code (but if say i use my code, HA doesnt know they are there. Do your guests 'tap in' and

#

'tap out' their RFID tags?

thorny swallow May 30, 2018, 5:54 AM

#

yeah I have a bunch of spare tokens; but I usually pair it to their public transport stored value card 😃

wraith temple May 30, 2018, 5:55 AM

#

interesting idea !

thorny swallow May 30, 2018, 5:55 AM

#

i can send an MQTT command to the auth server; it will then wait for a scan; and add that token to the user from the first payload

#

rfid tokens sit in a sqlite db

wraith temple May 30, 2018, 5:55 AM

#

dont suppose you have a write up of this anywhere?

thorny swallow May 30, 2018, 5:55 AM

#

I may eventually move that to appdaemon as i'm using that for more stuff now

#

Will have soon! 😃

#

Not sure if the authenticator is code ready for human consumption

wraith temple May 30, 2018, 5:57 AM

#

sweet - be sure to share it! keen to find a solution to not locking the house and turning the lights off when my visitors are home alone lol

thorny swallow May 30, 2018, 5:57 AM

scanner is a NodeMCU with a RC522 and a buzzer and I will publish the Arduino C++ for it too

I just got my TTS announcements into the shower; my next task is to remap the evdev input keys to something unique so I can control the bathroom light in the shower 😃

#

(waterproof bluetooth)

#

I'm expecting that's a job for lirc.

wraith temple May 30, 2018, 6:01 AM

#

i havent revisited TTS since the sonos script lost the ability to restore the previous played item (TV or music after the TTS announce)

thorny swallow May 30, 2018, 6:02 AM

#

That annoyed me so much when I was sending it out my best speaker

#

Now I send it out to the echo dot via bluetooth and the shower bluetooth

#

but actually out to MPD, which in turn uses pulseaudio

wraith temple May 30, 2018, 6:03 AM

#

nice

thorny swallow May 30, 2018, 6:03 AM

#

the bathroom speaker supports override from the phone audio profile; so I was thinking of trying out both profiles; but the alexa doesn't yet (but I believe it's coming for car/phone use)

#

then I could send radio / music and have it do the usual bluetooth car thing when a 'call' (being an announcement) comes in

#

but thats next time I have time to play

#

buttons first... 😄

royal hatch May 31, 2018, 3:21 PM

Anyone have experience or opinion on if I should use access points (ie ubiquiti) or go mesh network with ethernet backhaul for m y home wireless. Current aged wifi/router sucks especially with my new house.

frigid panther May 31, 2018, 3:22 PM

#

So, let's talk a little about terminology....when you say mesh, do you mean one AP connected to network via Ethernet cable, and other(s) connected to first AP via WiFi?

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 3:23 PM

#

There's an active thread on the forum on the topic BTW

royal hatch May 31, 2018, 3:24 PM

#

@frigid panther mesh: like Velop or Orbi with ethernet backhaul to the main node, Access Points: Ubuiquiti access points wired to my router

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 3:24 PM

#

Mesh with wired backhaul and multiple dedicated APs will likely give you very similar results in general terms

royal hatch May 31, 2018, 3:24 PM

#

@clever mortar I must have missed it

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 3:25 PM

#

It'll more be a question, I'd expect, of which brand and which devices

royal hatch May 31, 2018, 3:26 PM

#

ah that makes sense. the only think I was thinking that I could possible gain from mesh (although I do not think the logic exists yet) is soft handoffs between mesh access points

#

based on signal strength

frigid panther May 31, 2018, 3:31 PM

#

So, you are talking more or less about a "unified" WiFi solution. I'm not sure what you should use for home...I run an enterprise wireless network of about 1800 wireless access points...controller based. At home, I use Ruckus, and it is a mesh, and does a good job of handing off based on signal strength. But, they are kind of pricey.

royal hatch May 31, 2018, 3:32 PM

#

@frigid panther can you explain unified?

Let me Google that for you...

Here, try this => http://lmgtfy.com/?q=lmgtfy

frigid panther May 31, 2018, 3:32 PM

#

By unified, I mean where all APs are controlled from a central point, whether that is one of the APs, or something like a controller.

#

As opposed to using say 2 or 3 routers, each individually serving WiFi clients with the same SSID configuration. They don't "know" about each other.

royal hatch May 31, 2018, 3:34 PM

#

@frigid panther so ubiquiti access points would not qualify as this?

frigid panther May 31, 2018, 3:35 PM

#

I can't say...I have a buddy at work who runs ubiquiti at home, but he only has one of them. However, the answer to the question would likely be if you can put one ubiquiti AP in what would most likely be called "master" mode, or some similar terminology

royal hatch May 31, 2018, 3:37 PM

#

@frigid panther makes sense. what is the advantage of having them "unified" sharing the same central point? devices will keep their connections better when transitioning between nodes?

frigid panther May 31, 2018, 3:38 PM

#

Yes, exactly. Plus, your client devices will "see" one network (SSID) even though they'll still know that there is more than one access point. You won't drop connection when roaming from one to another, but will be handed off by the system.

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 3:39 PM

#

It's worth a browser of the Ubnt forums, you'll get all the details on how it works there. Their system is "unified" and designed to allow you to wander around even with a video call going, moving from AP to AP

royal hatch May 31, 2018, 3:40 PM

#

@clever mortar excellent

frigid panther May 31, 2018, 3:40 PM

#

Right. For example, at the University I work at, I can roam all across campus, from building to building, and almost never drop connection. We've got around 100 buildings.

royal hatch May 31, 2018, 3:40 PM

Have you got a floorplan of your house?

royal hatch May 31, 2018, 3:42 PM

lol

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 3:43 PM

#

Because you can use their controller software to place virtual APs and see what the coverage would be

frigid panther May 31, 2018, 3:43 PM

#

@clever mortar, is that directed at ak?

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 3:43 PM

#

frigid panther May 31, 2018, 3:43 PM

#

lol

royal hatch May 31, 2018, 3:43 PM

#

@clever mortar excellent I will try that

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 3:43 PM

#

The only downside is that it doesn't list the new NanoHD yet, so I'm assuming coverage will be similar to the normal HD for working out what I want/need

frigid panther May 31, 2018, 3:44 PM

#

And after you get it, there is an android app called WiFi Heatmap which will let you measure RSSI, etc. and fine tune your placement.

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 3:45 PM

#

To be honest, I'm expecting that their heatmap is pessimistic, and that a single AP centrally upstairs will do. After all, my ancient Asus covers the whole house from one corner.

rugged bobcat May 31, 2018, 3:46 PM

#

Can someone tell me what I need to get started with Ubiquiti Unifi for an apartment. What I've seen so far is that I would need an EdgeRouter X and an AP. Is that correct?

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 3:46 PM

#

I like it because I can run it from the PoE switch that's in the hallway, which I can't do with the full HD

frigid panther May 31, 2018, 3:46 PM

#

Ah..PoE for that? Nice!

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 3:46 PM

#

All their APs are PoE

#

If you want the fully connected thing, you want the Unifi Security Gateway, an AP, and either a Cloud Key or something to run their controller on @rugged bobcat

#

You can use an EdgeRouter, but it doesn't hook into the GUI then

rugged bobcat May 31, 2018, 3:52 PM

#

@clever mortar The gateway doesn't run the controller?

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 3:53 PM

#

No, the idea is that the controller manages gateways, APs, switches, etc

#

You can apparently run it on a Pi

rugged bobcat May 31, 2018, 3:54 PM

#

Ok. I have a spare Pi laying around. So I would just need the gateway and an AP then.

amber bramble May 31, 2018, 3:55 PM

#

I ran the unifi controller on the same pi as hass for a while. it liked to eat all of the memory and lock up the pi

#

might be ok if its the only thing running on the pi though

rugged bobcat May 31, 2018, 3:59 PM

#

Yea, I can run it by itself. I have hass running on a NUC anyway.

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 4:00 PM

#

Run the controller on the NUC then 😃

#

https://www.ubnt.com/download/unifi/ - they support Debian/Ubuntu, Windows, and MacOS officially

rugged bobcat May 31, 2018, 4:01 PM

#

It's running Ubuntu Server. How would I get to the GUI

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 4:02 PM

#

The GUI is web based

#

Even if you run the controller on Windows, you reach it with a web browser

#

Some folks run it on GCP

rugged bobcat May 31, 2018, 4:02 PM

#

oh cool.

Mix and match Ubnt products and manage trough UNMS

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 4:25 PM

#

That doesn't do Unifi I thought @vast dove ?

#

The Ubiquiti Network Management System (UNMS) will be our first system for ISPs that allows you to monitor, configure, upgrade and manage all UBNT devices (except our UniFi family which has its own centralized controller).

#

Or have they improved it and not updated the docs, again

vast dove May 31, 2018, 4:32 PM

#

@clever mortar you're right.. my brain is overheating so i mixed Unifi with AmpliFi support thats coming later this year

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 4:32 PM

#

They've been steadily improving things, so I've lost track of what does what

#

I just wish they'd one thing that did it all

vast dove May 31, 2018, 4:32 PM

#

"UniFi® Connect your UniFi network as UNMS™ client (simple monitoring)"

rugged bobcat May 31, 2018, 4:40 PM

Can you use a dumb ethernet switch with the USG?

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 4:42 PM

#

Yup

rugged bobcat May 31, 2018, 4:44 PM

#

So if I connected the LAN port to the switch would the AP go into the switch or can you use the VOIP port?

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 4:47 PM

#

The AP would go to the switch, which goes to the LAN port

#

The VOIP port can be configured as a second WAN, not sure if you can configure it as a second LAN

vast dove May 31, 2018, 4:49 PM

#

You can, but it there is no bridge between the ports so needs its own subnet

#

📎 large.png

#

Just select LAN2 there

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 4:49 PM

#

So it'll be routing all the way

#

Not ideal from a performance perspective

vast dove May 31, 2018, 4:50 PM

#

Correct

rugged bobcat May 31, 2018, 4:52 PM

#

Ok, so not a good idea

#

So I'm guessing then the USG wouldn't work because I have 3 devices that need ethernet in addition to having wifi?

vast dove May 31, 2018, 5:01 PM

#

Get the USG and a switch where you connect your 3 devices and the wifi ap

#

If you want to manage the switch trough the same controller get a Unifi switch

rugged bobcat May 31, 2018, 5:02 PM

#

So I already have a dumb 8 port switch

vast dove May 31, 2018, 5:02 PM

#

then you can use that and plug into the USG LAN1

rugged bobcat May 31, 2018, 5:05 PM

#

I thought LAN1 was for the AP

vast dove May 31, 2018, 5:05 PM

#

Is it a POE AP? if yes, does your switch have POE?

rugged bobcat May 31, 2018, 5:07 PM

#

Switch does not have POE, but the AC lite has a POE adapter

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 5:08 PM

#

The USG (and the big brother) are designed on the assumption that you'll connect a switch to the LAN port, and everything to that switch

#

(including other switches)

#

I mean, heck, that's how all routers work

vast dove May 31, 2018, 5:09 PM

#

Then set up the USG, Connect your "dumb" switch and use the PoE adapter for the AP. All set

rugged bobcat May 31, 2018, 5:09 PM

#

Ok, so the AP lite also plugs into the dumb switch. I was under the impression it had to be plugged into the USG directly

vast dove May 31, 2018, 5:09 PM

#

If you want the Unifi UI to look all shiny and green lights get a Unifi switch with PoE in the mix. But only difference will be the shiny lights and PoE

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 5:10 PM

#

But I don't think the USG does PoE, so it doesn't matter

#

If it's a problem though, just buy a Unifi switch 😛

vast dove May 31, 2018, 5:10 PM

#

Thats correct

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 5:11 PM

#

When I start my Unifi journey my USG will be connected to a switch, that then connects to another switch, that then connects to the AP

#

Neither of those switches will be Unifi, but it won't matter other than the lack of prettiness in the GUI

#

Oh, and the forum thread: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/mesh-wifi-or-not/54671/3

vast dove May 31, 2018, 5:13 PM

#

I started with an EdgeRouter 5P and a ToughSwitch. Now i got 4 ToughSwitches and 1 USG 😄

#

and ofc Unifi AP's

clever mortar May 31, 2018, 5:15 PM

#

I've got a mix of things from over the ~~ages~~ years. Some dumb switches, a couple of ZyXEL smart switches, a NetGear PoE powered switch with passthrough, and a NetGear "smart" switch - because things are scattered around, and I bought 8 port switches where I should have had 16 port ones

#

As I upgrade switches now I'll be properly future proofing them, and also looking at what I'll need when I get network cables run through the walls

vast dove May 31, 2018, 5:18 PM

#

Probably many of us are in the same situation

rugged bobcat May 31, 2018, 5:19 PM

#

I just got into a house in february. aside from house repair projects, I have managed to pull the modem hook up into the center of the house with a couple pulls of network cable to 2 rooms, getting ready for the next step which will involve ubiquiti access points, patch panel, new switch and router and running network cable poe to my cameras

@dry cairn So you have the controller installed on the same machine as hass and haven't had any issues with MQTT?

nope

wraith temple Jun 1, 2018, 1:39 AM

#

what are people's preference when turning off a group of lights and switches? do you
A) call a script and list the lights individually in the script
B) call a group and create a list of lights and switches in the group
C) other?

rugged bobcat Jun 1, 2018, 1:39 AM

#

Interesting. I was planning on installing it on my NUC with hass until I read the docs

#

I guess I may try it now

dry cairn Jun 1, 2018, 1:39 AM

install it

#

i choose D) raisin bran

wraith temple Jun 1, 2018, 1:40 AM

lol

just curious if there is a preferred way (and now you made me hungry)

dry cairn Jun 1, 2018, 1:41 AM

#

whatever works for you

dull chasm Jun 1, 2018, 1:41 AM

#

@wraith temple you can create a group and turn off with one service call but no there is really no preferred way.... i tend to keep separate myself

wraith temple Jun 1, 2018, 1:42 AM

#

ok thanks folks - wondered if there was any benefit i was missing - everytime I add a new switch or light, it needs to be manually added to either group or script. I guess the only only plus with a group is you can turn it on OR off

#

whereas a script you would have to call the 'off switch script'

dull chasm Jun 1, 2018, 1:43 AM

#

yep it really comes down to your thinking... do you think of them as a group or... do you think of the function first.... i think of the fuction and would rather list there

wraith temple Jun 1, 2018, 1:45 AM

very logical - ok - good to sanity check (just going through the process of cleaning things up - mostly deleting yaml files from projects that never took off lol)

So I got my Ubiquiti stuff setup and running, but now when I try to connect to hass it takes me to the sign in page for Unifi. I am using duckdns if that makes any difference. Anyone have any ideas?

clever mortar Jun 2, 2018, 8:55 AM

You forwarded port 443 to Hass?

dry cairn Jun 2, 2018, 11:40 AM

@dry cairn that was their business when windows was king at Microsoft, it seems now that windows throne has been taken azure after Linux gained the server market place as its own and the need for VM servers grew, due to the need for Linux their azure has been a lot more friendly to open source, the behaviour of Microsoft depends on what part of the company is king of the company

dry cairn Jun 3, 2018, 1:44 AM

yet they steal all your information and harvest your behavior ...do you think that ethically correct? you pay for the sw then you get spied on and shown ads they get paid for and you can t turn some of the spying off

junior forge Jun 4, 2018, 8:57 AM

@eager trench Don't worry...

#

The community add-ons are already on GitLab for a month or so

and everything is mirrored

nobody noticed 😉

so it works like a charm

nothing changes

eager trench Jun 4, 2018, 8:57 AM

You don't have to do anything

nothing changes

it is already like so..

GitHub just stays in place and can be used

On the microsoft aqusition of git hub, there is a lot of FUD coming from the opensource side.

One major agument i have seen is the distruction of skype, but there is an issue, they are only giving examples of Balmer Acquisition, Balmer was a ahole, and would fully absorb and canabibleis aquired companies, Now if we look at recent aquistions of Mojang and Linkedin, One major diffrence is that microsoft has allowed these 2 companys to operate fully indipendently of main microsoft only going as far as intergrating there products(like xbox accounts and allowing you to use linkedin to sign in and link with microsoft certifcations).

annother argument is that microsoft will treat users as the product becuse they think github has no profit making part, yes they do, and one source quotes and estemates that github made $140m in 2016, and now with companys trusting it as it is a microsoft company i expect enterprise subscriptions will rise

You need the pro bridge to have the remote work right.

my Denon home theater amp died... Checking a few used options and found a Denon X2000 and a Pioneer VSX-922 close by... Anyone have experience with either Denon or Pioneer integration with Hass? Can I use Hass to turn them on etc?

#

3 days to the world cup so I need something pretty quick, lol

shy comet Jun 11, 2018, 5:18 PM

#

@orchid rose damn that sucks i literally had that happen to me last week for my onkyo 😦 i ended up getting a replacement onkyo lol

#

my onkyo allows me to turn it on let me check the denon docs

#

looks very similar in terms of integration

orchid rose Jun 11, 2018, 5:19 PM

#

cool, I thought it should work as long as they have some network thing

#

mine didn't, but can't find a cheap old one atm for sale

shy comet Jun 11, 2018, 5:20 PM

#

yea on mine i need to leave network standby on but I can turn it on and switch inputs etc..

#

if u r that worried though

#

Harmony will work on any receiver

#

I mainly use Harmony here

orchid rose Jun 11, 2018, 5:20 PM

#

ofc, I have a IR emitter I used with the current one

#

just thought I might as well get one that integrates properly with Hass as well, but I guess turning on and off etc is something these things will do

shy comet Jun 11, 2018, 5:21 PM

#

i can control the volume on mine as well with the hass integration

orchid rose Jun 11, 2018, 5:22 PM

I have amps from the 70s that still work fine so it's a bit annoying that this gave up so soon. 2010 model isn't exactly new but it's not that old... Just died while idle between Saturday and Sunday

shy comet Jun 11, 2018, 5:22 PM

#

my amp was a 2014 and teh hdmi board fried during a firmware update

#

luckily had 6 months left in warranty lol

#

so looking at the code it seems like it does support turning on/off, setting volume and sources

#

even previous and next track

orchid rose Jun 11, 2018, 5:23 PM

#

denon? What about Pioneer?

#

I opened mine up to see if I can see anything wrong with it, but nothing I could see with my very limited knowledge of electronics. Checked the fuses and they seem fine but just no power at all...

shy comet Jun 11, 2018, 5:24 PM

#

ok this made me laugh a lil

#

Please note, however, that the more recent Pioneer models work with Onkyo platform instead.

#

are they the same company now?

orchid rose Jun 11, 2018, 5:24 PM

#

hmm, maybe 😄

shy comet Jun 11, 2018, 5:24 PM

#

pioneer does on/off, volume and source

orchid rose Jun 11, 2018, 5:24 PM

#

that's good enough for me

shy comet Jun 11, 2018, 5:24 PM

same with onkyo

#

so denon would have the most supported features it seems

orchid rose Jun 11, 2018, 5:25 PM

object based used to be a thing in gaming a bit over a decade ago but it's been downhill since

OpenAL was pretty fantastic compared to what the 7.1 sounds are in today's games... Hopefully atmos will bring some life to that as well but I have my doubts as people are more keen on buying soundbars than proper audio

Can anyone recommend a website or software to draw out ciruit diagrams?

#

@maiden estuary huge wannabe pitmaster right here -

maiden estuary Jun 23, 2018, 10:28 AM

#

@midnight adder - look at fritzing, that's a good start for circuit diagrams...

#

also what do you cook on?

#

I've just started and looking for any great recipes

midnight adder Jun 23, 2018, 10:34 AM

👍
I have an offset smoker as I like the low and slow method - but I am looking to move back to a kettle grill.

Get yourself a nice pork rib, make some bbq sauce ( i like a carolina gold ), peel off the membrane from the ribs and smother it, add in a litle sprinkle of brown sugar, put it in a foil tray and throw it in. Low and SLow. Keep brushing it down with more sauce. You serve that with some BBQ Beans - Beans, Br Sugar, BBQ sauce, Chillis and chopped onion and you drink it with beer.

#

Dont do a typical UK BBQ of throwing sausages, burgers, chops, wings, thigh, all on and making a feast of it. Pick a dish and cook it well.

#

You also have to grow a long beard and put on an american accent - it adds to the flavour.

maiden estuary Jun 23, 2018, 11:11 AM

#

@midnight adder 10-4 😉 I brought a traeger yesterday for low and slow.. still love my weber kettle though. yes we tend to try and cook at least one of ever member of the farm yard over here 😃
I've got the ribs and just about to sauce it up now.. as for the beard.. well I cant remember where I put my razor so it's coming 😁

Hi All, Wondering if anyone can advice me on this automation. During a specified time in the morning I have an automation that when you turn the bathroom light on it sets it to brightness 15 then brightness 200 with a duration of 300 with the idea of slowly bring the lights up to wake me up in the morning. Only problem is if I decided to 'override' it and turn the lights of they come back on quite annoying and was wondering if anyone knows of a way to cancel the running automation
