As I understand it, crawl spaces are best in relatively dry climates. Britain is most definitely not one of those. Also, the frost line doesn't go deep in the UK, so a concrete base doesn't need to be built deep to avoid movement from frost.

Looking at their release dates, I was first using it before version 1.0...

Samba was the hardest part, the CUPS bit was easy, other than getting support for random printer #42 installed

Yeah from what I've been reading, seems very straightforward. And since it's not python or anything, I shouldn't need to worry about updates all the time - just set up scheduled patching

Brick is a horrible wall medium for a lot of places

#

But we in Australia are in love with it

#

My house will be double brick simply because I don't have a choice :(

wary jolt Jun 23, 2019, 11:05 PM

#

In Guatemala people are in love with brick also. I think it has to do with how hot it gets there during the sunny seasons.

hushed basalt Jun 23, 2019, 11:17 PM

#

It's the worst for hot climates though

#

High thermal mass in the sun = not fun

spiral latch Jun 23, 2019, 11:17 PM

#

Nah you just use cavity insulation

#

Keeps the heat out

hushed basalt Jun 23, 2019, 11:17 PM

#

Nah you should use lightweight reflective materials on the outside

#

And the cavity insulation

spiral latch Jun 23, 2019, 11:18 PM

#

Jardiamj... Thought about an Intel nuc?

hushed basalt Jun 23, 2019, 11:18 PM

#

Such as weatherboards etc

#

The sun heats up the brick, a lot. And the releases that heat into your house all day and all night

#

Insulation just slows it down but it's better to not retain that heat in the first place

spiral latch Jun 23, 2019, 11:21 PM

#

Blocks the heat getting in though

hushed basalt Jun 23, 2019, 11:21 PM

#

Another thing no one pays attention to in Australia is air tightness

#

Just as important as insulation but talk to most builders and they look at you like you're a nutjob

#

An ideal house would be 100% airtight, with massive shading from the sun when it's too hot and maximum solar gain inside when it's too cold. And insulation good enough to retain the temperature

wary jolt Jun 23, 2019, 11:29 PM

#

@hushed basalt, I agree but there is this general misconception that brick keeps houses cool, and most people in Guatemala don't have the money to pay an architect and so most builder don't have the technical knowledge and just copy what they see.

hushed basalt Jun 23, 2019, 11:29 PM

#

Exactly the same in Australia :(

#

Even weatherboards over brick would help tremendously

#

It's just sad that there's this huge public narrative about the cost of electricity, the cost of carbon pollution, global warming etc

#

And not a single person talks about how half the reason we use so much electritcy is to heat and cool homes that were designed terribly

wary jolt Jun 23, 2019, 11:43 PM

#

And it's often hard to get people to understand some simple heat transfer concepts. My wife, for example, kept on opening every window at home when was hot outside because she thought that would coold the house down.
Now, I have a weather station in my backyard and so I kept on telling her not to open the windows unless the temperature outside is lower than the temperature inside the house but it took me a while to get her into that habit.

#

@jon, I have actually thought about a NUC, and I might go that route. I am trying to reduce my dependency on Google services.

hushed basalt Jun 24, 2019, 1:00 AM

#

Have you looked at Heat Recovery Ventilation @wary jolt

#

You need a certain air tightness though

wary jolt Jun 24, 2019, 2:21 AM

#

I am reading about it right now, thanks for the info.

hushed basalt Jun 24, 2019, 2:44 AM

#

It's a great technology. I haven't had much hands on with it but I've stayed in a place in York that had it and I've spoken to a few designers

#

It's a lot more popular in Europe. Big part of Passivhaus

#

But they can easily be installed with a summer bypass vent as well

#

Which basically means when it's colder outside than inside in summer you can have it automatically pull in the cold air

#

While still filtering out all the pollutants

#

And then normally you run everything through the heat exchanger. So you get fresh clean air but recover a lot of the energy from your heating or cooling

#

Watch out for some systems calling themselves recovery ventilators

#

But all they do is pull in air from your roof space and pump it into your house

#

A pro tip though if you do get one. Is to install a very large diameter cheaper filter in the ducting before your HEPA filters.

#

As a cheaper pre filter to stop your expensive HEPA filter getting clogged with crap

clear ferry Jun 24, 2019, 4:04 AM

#

Recovery ventilation is quite popular in Norway, but here it reuses the hot air inside to heat the outside air being pulled in, helpful in the winters in regards to air quality and less heating spent

smb grwon up, deactivate the drive if connection break or even notice me.

Well, if you migrate toward dedicating the full NUC toward Hass.io, you'll have to rely on Hass.io add-ons to support what you want. If you spin up a VM on the NUC, you can keep your NUC the way it is, and just run Hass.io with limited resources.

#

Yeah I found those too when I tried to look

#

I don’t really like the look and likely the function of them

#

I’d prefer something with a physical switch (obviously it wouldn’t be a two position switch or anything cause that wouldn’t work)

hushed basalt Jun 27, 2019, 11:31 AM

#

@ocean mirage i think a lot of control modules can be switched with a physical switch

#

So the zigbee module etc just monitors the switch and sees a high/low change as an intent to switch

ocean mirage Jun 27, 2019, 11:54 AM

#

Yeah I’ve seen those things but then say I turn the lights off through ha and then want to turn them on physically I would need to flick it twice to turn on right @hushed basalt ?

#

I’ve seen Americans with switches that always default to the same position, and flick up turns on and off, down is dimmer levels, I like that idea but doesn’t seem to exist here

Ooops think my fan has been sending my sonoff crazy, whoops 😄

#

actually I don't think it is the switch

#

https://gnxs.uk/jl4hl

#

21:05:20 MQT: tele/BEDROOMLIGHT/SENSOR = {"Time":"2019-06-29T21:05:20","Switch7":"OFF"} that was me flicking the switch

#

not sure what was causing it to toggle before that

#

Ohh actually, that 21:05:20 message repeats every 5mins, so I guess that's more of a heartbeat, than the switch being changed

#

the switch state changing doesn't update in the logs, just the light setting

#

I'll just a pull up resistor into it when I can be bothered, I'll leave it turned off for now (pulled low)

@rare plover in a lot of ways you're also adding another layer of abstraction

#

There's no good reason to just not control the devices directly in homeassistant

clever mortar Jun 30, 2019, 8:20 AM

#

There are a lot of things that are only supported by GA, but unless they expose that functionality, it's just a pipe dream

#

I can't see them wanting to do that though, as it'd make them "just" a dumb hub, and not an interface

On a English UK pipe is shifted on backslash \

English-US not sure, think its the silly key that goes where enter should be

same on Us qwerty it is above enter ....shifted \

probably a little more then your average rock

some sites say that its a bravia but others don't

What does Sony call it...

both with and without

#

the youtube videos on the product page have bravia in the title but nowhere else on the page does it ever mention bravia

#

i'm mostly interested in whether it can be turned on and off by hass

clever mortar Jun 30, 2019, 7:32 PM

The features page mentions it all over

It's got built in Cast support, so... probably?

midnight adder Jun 30, 2019, 7:34 PM

yep

#

though then again this sony is like $1K for the 55" model

a 55" 4K goes for 750 or something

still overpriced

and fat too
