What did you ask?

late gate Jun 1, 2019, 7:19 PM

I asked if they would refund items that was sold under "works with nest" and alexa, when they wont after the api change. They still brand them as works with nest, but say its not their responsibility to confirm to the specs

#

but their chat is just overseas and they are reading a script. its like talking to a wall

#

This is kinda why I usually buy stuff here in Norway. Stores are actually responsible for false advertising. In the US it seems like they can do what they want. Just removing an API and advertised statements seem completely legal in the US with no responsibility

I also watched a few videos.
A feedback from someone who use it would still be interesting to hear tho.

Anyone know if you can specifically point out a Google Home as a cast device in the config like other chromecast devices?

Not sure what you're asking, but the GH devices should work exactly the same for casting as chromecast devices do

Can you call the Chromecast devices specifically in the config: https://www.home-assistant.io/components/cast/

Home Assistant

Google Cast

#

This bypasses the discovery for the chromecasts I was wondering if you put a google home here as well if it would work or if discovery would still be needed

orchid rose Jun 4, 2019, 2:41 PM

#

should be able to. For me cast: doesn't work at all so I can't test but with the media_player component I've used ip addresses instead of discovery

#

Thanks for the help! I'll give it a try later today!

deft reef Jun 4, 2019, 3:22 PM

@dark swallow I'm just curious, why are you wanting to bypass discovery?

dark swallow Jun 4, 2019, 3:24 PM

#

@deft reef every once and a while on a reboot one of the chromecasts get missed, it's not a huge deal because it usually gets picked up within 15 minutes but I was just looking for something that would tell HA to find them specifically

#

honestly the few that get missed are probably because they further away from the router so poorer network connection which I could fix just by moving them closer

deft reef Jun 4, 2019, 3:26 PM

#

Ah gotcha

#

Well good luck with it

#

I recently ran into issues where it appears I have too many wifi switches and they're interfering with each other so I'm setting up another AP on a different channel to see if that alleviates the issues

can tuya plugs be flashed without an rpi?

deft reef Jun 5, 2019, 6:17 PM

Have you tried the OTA method?

Tuya-convert

#

It's a method to flash tuya devices OTA

midnight adder Jun 5, 2019, 6:20 PM

#

i thought that required an rpi

deft reef Jun 5, 2019, 6:20 PM

#

I've used it on some 30 tuya switches around my house. Flashes them with Tasmota. However, back in like Feb Tuya got smart to it and disabled it on devices that have the newest firmware so it may or may not work for what you have

#

It either works or doesn't. It won't brick it if the Device isn't compatible

midnight adder Jun 5, 2019, 6:21 PM

#

mine are losonho smartlife branded, never upgraded any of em

deft reef Jun 5, 2019, 6:21 PM

#

Don't have to have an rpi, although you need some way to run the scripts (Linux machine)

midnight adder Jun 5, 2019, 6:21 PM

#

i wonder if this would work in a VM with a usb wifi thingy

deft reef Jun 5, 2019, 6:22 PM

#

I use my rpi to run it but it's not required, just don't think it's been tested on many devices other than rpi but it should work on most linux setups

#

It's worth trying

#

Only takes a few minutes (once you install all the stuff) to test it

midnight adder Jun 5, 2019, 6:23 PM

#

yeah i'm spinning up a fresh ubuntu vm right now

deft reef Jun 5, 2019, 6:23 PM

I'd give it a whirl and see what happens

#

if the vm doesn't work i'm just gonna install ubuntu on my laptop and see if that works better

deft reef Jun 5, 2019, 6:25 PM

I tried running it on the windows subsystem first before I got my rpi but couldn't get it working

So anyone got a touchscreen in the wall that lives in europe? since i see tons of american solutions where they pretty much put a giant hole in the wall called a 2/3 socket thing. We only have 1 socket and it wont even fit a PI in it. I have a whole in the wall, i can bring utp/power/etc to it but no pi will fit. Ideas?

make a bigger hole and just pull 5v to it? you dont really need a box for a pi / screen, but you could 3d print one

I can't say I know much about either systems, but if you are having no gripes with Alexa why change?

@clear ferry Im not sure what GH can do here in EU that Alexa cant do?

#

@ocean mirage No to be honest im happy with Alexa and dont think I want to change as it works well in Norway, does what it should. The only thing I notice is GH is getting much love in HA with select entities, video on demand etc, while alexa kinda hangs behind. If thats an Alexa limitation thats a problem, if its a resource problem of HA development thats not a huge issue as that I can understand

HA will have a much larger role with the solar when I finish building my battery bank - price on power change extremely much. Could save around 2000USD a year on just letting HA move power around

#

I did buy them and installed by a company. We are talking about a peak of 15 kilowatt so a LOT of power. Not legal to do stuff like that yourself, and I had to get installed new wires from the street for them to handle the backload

How long do you expect it to take to recoup your investment?

late gate Jun 6, 2019, 5:58 PM

#

with the current production I would say around 12 years (30 years warranty on panels) - with battery bank and making good automations it will be fully paid in 8 years

#

usually it should live between 25 and 50 years with with no less than 20% reduction if how effective the panels are

I just bought a I7 computer off ebay (HP) that I use for surveilance. IP cameras need a lot of resources I dont want to waste

lucid dock Jun 6, 2019, 6:13 PM

#

need another computer to use your computer

#

i mean i have 24 threads and 24gb of ram

#

but still

#

there has to be a linux based system

late gate Jun 6, 2019, 6:16 PM

#

it is a lot, just ugly ones though

#

you could try the docker version of blue iris - never tried it, but it does exist

lucid dock Jun 6, 2019, 6:17 PM

#

we are actually about to buy blue iris for our work

#

but windahs

MotionEye

lucid dock Jun 6, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

ooo @light trout that might the one

clear ferry Jun 6, 2019, 6:18 PM

#

@lucid dock sure you can 🤷

#

Oh like that... Just have a thin client, connect to a VM, problem solved 😛

lucid dock Jun 6, 2019, 6:19 PM

#

haha yeah...

#

only advantage i see is being able to take full images of linux partitions live without ZFS

#

@light trout do you know if that supports pan and tilt camera controls?

#

was thinking of getting a couple of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07BF9S261

dont think that one is a zoomie boye though

clear ferry Jun 6, 2019, 6:24 PM

#

Zoneminder lets me zoom all my cameras and the resolution is good enough I don't need optical zoom 🤷

#

Just zooms digitally

i wonder what the best way to even run a windows VM in Ubuntu is

clear ferry Jun 6, 2019, 6:27 PM

#

Probably KVM, but who knows, Ubuntu as a virtualization platform, meh 😛

lucid dock Jun 6, 2019, 6:27 PM

#

haha i know

#

it looks like they did add pan/tilt/zoom controls to motioneye

#

is blue iris decent?

#

@clear ferry i think ill start with that cheaper camera and go from there

#

any recommendations for a PoE injector?

clear ferry Jun 6, 2019, 6:39 PM

#

I run Aruba 2530, so I have native Poe 😂 but probably anything supporting 802.3af or at should probably be good enough

goin super cheap 😄

be careful with the cheap ones. A lot does not sense if the equipment is requesting POE and poff. Sometimes better to buy a unify POE switch and something like Dahua POE cameras - then you get good cameras and a very good switch
