I mean, to get this far in and only now mention a monitor with a large stand

#

Though, no context on what that means

past idol Oct 4, 2019, 6:38 PM

#

you are right

#

So:
I will purchase a XB271 HUA Acer soon ( 61,4cm x 55,1cm x 26,8cm with stand)

my keyboard is around 25cm and i need a bit space for my hands to rest and a proper viewing distance. Which more info you need?

#

monitor is like this

#

not that bad with space actually

scenic radish Oct 4, 2019, 6:42 PM

#

how much free space do you want between you and the keyboard

clever mortar Oct 4, 2019, 6:42 PM

#

Check the back of the monitor, almost certainly that's a universal VESA mount you can replace

past idol Oct 4, 2019, 6:45 PM

#

im not sure. because currently i am using kind of a kitchen desk, and i cannot get the arms of the chair below it, so i cannot go properly in with the chair, so my hands are resting alternatively

#

how much space do you have guys for your hands?

#

you rest it on the arms of the chair or the desk?

#

usually

clever mortar Oct 4, 2019, 6:46 PM

#

I don't have arms on the chair...

#

At work, it kind of depends on what's going on. If I'm chatting, it's likely the arms of the chair. If I'm working but thinking, it's the desk

clear ferry Oct 4, 2019, 6:50 PM

#

I have a motorized 180x80 and I love it

#

And I use a backapp chair

past idol Oct 4, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

I see

#

as is see now the perfect viewing distance for a 27" is around 79 cm

#

but min 43cm

#

maybe i need to get a separate stand for the computer

#

somehow I hate it on the floor

#

and then 150x75 would be perfect

clear ferry Oct 4, 2019, 6:57 PM

#

I do a triple 24" stand, the distance is great for that for me

#

I have two desktops on the table too, behind each of the side screens

hushed basalt Oct 4, 2019, 10:04 PM

#

I want to downsize my desktop

#

It's only a mid sized case too, but it's such a waste of space

#

I don't have any 3.5" drives or 5.25" drives in it but it can hold 8 and 2

#

I'm looking at getting a smaller desk too

#

My current one is 180 wide but I'm thinking 120

ocean mirage Oct 4, 2019, 10:56 PM

#

I am all for going SFF desktop

#

How come you want smaller desk though?

Not sure. I want to get a new laptop. So i might just go down that route with a dock

#

Surface laptop 3 looks niiiiiiiicceee

#

I would need something for my wife to use when I have the laptop away

#

But a second hand optiplex i7 would probably cover that need

Real hinges and keyboards for the win

No thunderbolt 3 in the surface laptop 3 :/

Just after spotting another switch for those lights I had no idea was there as it was behind the damn fridge! It had gotten touched off by pushing the fridge back.

chilly nymph Oct 6, 2019, 11:17 AM

@clever mortar appreciate it.

I'm having a hard time understanding the rules in this server when it comes to channels. I seem to be a repeat offender, and I'm not trying to be. I understand the signal to noise ratio issue.

Legitimate question though: if I'm talking about one thing (in this case, hardware), and someone brings up software that I can use instead of that hardware -- am I supposed to respond in another channel?

clever mortar Oct 6, 2019, 11:17 AM

clever mortar Oct 6, 2019, 11:17 AM

There are many folks who are experts on a single thing, and if you post in random places they'll never see your post

#zigbee-archived and #zwave-archived are two of those things

chilly nymph Oct 6, 2019, 11:19 AM

#

I get it. I'm just trying to follow the rules, that's all. I don't think I was going to drag the conversation any further than "oh, I thought it was for a USB stick and if so that's not quite what I'm looking for"

clever mortar Oct 6, 2019, 11:20 AM

#

Well... maybe it is if you're looking for less hubs 😉

#

Home Assistant can talk directly with Zigbee and Z-Wave devices if you add a USB stick

chilly nymph Oct 6, 2019, 11:20 AM

#

Well yes, but more because I'm looking for fewer "pieces" to break

clever mortar Oct 6, 2019, 11:21 AM

#

Ah, but more pieces means that if one thing breaks, only that thing breaks

#

If my Z-Wave stick fails, all I lose is Z-Wave

#

If I used an all-in-one hub setup, I'd lose everything

chilly nymph Oct 6, 2019, 11:22 AM

#

Tbh if some devices suddenly stop working and others are fine, I'm fairly certain WAF would be lower than if everything broke

#

Trying to explain clearconnect vs zigbee vs zwave to my wife...

But I get your point. It's also a configuration thing for me. But perhaps I've gotten too reliant on other companies.

clever mortar Oct 6, 2019, 11:24 AM

#

There is no absolute right or wrong here, just trade offs

chilly nymph Oct 6, 2019, 11:25 AM

#

Yeah, I know. Oddly enough, my quest started with wink, which also has all those radios.

#

If you don't count my insteon days, anyway

#

I intentionally got out of the insteon world because of being locked into their ecosystem. But those were also some of the most responsive and reliable devices I've used.

clever mortar Oct 6, 2019, 11:29 AM

@buoyant talon it depends on how your media player accesses files

hearty depot Oct 6, 2019, 4:59 PM

#

sweet

storm summit Oct 6, 2019, 4:59 PM

#

for sonos you'd have to link the samba share to the www directory

hearty depot Oct 6, 2019, 5:00 PM

#

same for chromecast when I remember right - had mopidy and Icecast running for some time

#

but gmusic custom component takes now care

buoyant talon Oct 6, 2019, 5:01 PM

#

@storm summit yeah its Sonos, ok I think I'm understanding Sonos is the device that plays the MP3 not just streams the sound. I was thinking there as a media player in HA that streemed to sonos

#

Ok so if sonos can access the samba share how do I direct it to play a given file in HA

storm summit Oct 6, 2019, 5:02 PM

#

sonos controls everything.

#

you might be able to tell sonos to play a file from a smb share.

hearty depot Oct 6, 2019, 5:02 PM

#

sonos only speaks smb1 😛

buoyant talon Oct 6, 2019, 5:04 PM

#

I've got to the point where I can play files from my smb share on sonos via the sonos app, just not sure how I can tell sonos to play from HA if that makes sense. The idea would be to link it to an automation

storm summit Oct 6, 2019, 5:05 PM

#

if smb doesn't work you can play them via http

#

you could create a http server just for sonos or try to link them under the hass www directory

#

when hass tells sonsos to play a file it just provides a URI to the file. so theoretically you could probably give it a smb URI

buoyant talon Oct 6, 2019, 5:07 PM

#

ok so what does linking a smb to www dir do? Would that allow me to see the files when clicking on the source part of the Media component?

storm summit Oct 6, 2019, 5:07 PM

#

FYI. hass doesn't like file links under the www directory. you have to hack it to make sym links work so you might have to bind mount or hard link -- if you go that route

#

linking to www will allow you to use the hass web server to provide URIs

#

so you don't have to spin up another one

#

if you have it playing from smb already I would try figuring out the proper URI for that to work.

buoyant talon Oct 6, 2019, 5:12 PM

#

@storm summit ok cool, I'll work toward getting a URI and using that in HA

thanks

Nothing magic in the script, it pulls the records from an internal system, generates the zone file, does a quicky compare to see if it's different from what's on disk, and then writes out and reloads the zone if necessary.

Unless you're a Linux geek, Hass.io is hard to go (very) wrong with

I'm a Linux geek, so I don't run Hass.io 😛

@rough zenith one thing you could try

If you can find the chinese docs and shove them into google translate

You might be able to decipher the default password at least

If that doesn't work there's probably a jumper you need to short inside

To reset code to 0000

@hushed basalt tried to look for any manuals or datasheets on the product but no avail. the seller did gave me a manual but it's on how to integrate the door lock with the apps. and i've tried 0000, 000000, 00000000 and 0000000000. so, i thought of flashing this system that can't be use "outside of China" if possible.

I don't think I'd need limit switches as I'd be controlling the limits on the servo. There's nothing off the shelf, so I'm going to make my own.

#

they'd be shit more expensive than standard servos though

#

Shuttereaze doesn't exist anymore lol I checked

olive comet Oct 8, 2019, 12:50 PM

#

could you put the shaft of the servo on the same axis as a shaft of a shutter vane?

lapis ember Oct 8, 2019, 12:51 PM

#

yeah that's what I'm planning on doing

#

there's a 'guide' that moves all the shutters together on one side of the shutters

#

straight piece which goes the entire length, attached to all shutters

#

so when you move one it moves all that are joined to it

#

so I just need to attach a linear servo or equivalent to this and fasten it to the frame

olive comet Oct 8, 2019, 12:53 PM

#

okay cool

lapis ember Oct 8, 2019, 12:54 PM

#

you know what though, maybe I won't even need it to be linear, as the panels open and close and they change their x position

#

so maybe I can just use a normal servo with a large enough gear to offset that

#

bah can't think now, tired

#

I'm also thinking of a gear and shaft kinda like a steam train wheel

Having extra copies of your car for spare parts is a very common thing in some areas of the world. Especially in remote places where getting parts can be hard and expensive

jaunty summit Oct 8, 2019, 10:47 PM

#

a bit late to the convo, <soap_box>but i cannot wait till its time to get a IoT washer/dryer... my wife does most of the laundry and she thinks its dumb to set timers and then promptly forgets that she left clothes in the wash that eventually smell of mildew, and then she spends the next 4hrs with baking soda... vinegar... bitching about the entire time. yes.. yes its worth the extra $$$ </soap_box>

samsung has a thing you can plug in to some of their newer units that make them smart

#

no open API for them though

scenic radish Oct 8, 2019, 11:18 PM

#

How about a smart plug with energy monitoring? Then create an automation that sends a notification when power usage goes below a certain threshold

wet pilot Oct 8, 2019, 11:20 PM

#

that's another common method. especially for dryers

hushed basalt Oct 8, 2019, 11:37 PM

#

Vibration sensors also

#

Basically you're looking for whatever consumption/vibration happens when it's on a spin cycle

#

Then send an alert when that ends

#

Also you can put a reed switch on the door

#

To clear the alert, incase the alert gets ignored and forgotten about and you just end up back to the original problem

wet pilot Oct 8, 2019, 11:45 PM

#

heh could install a klaxon in the living room or prevent the tv from turning on while the laundry is waiting

strange vapor Oct 9, 2019, 12:22 AM

#

I've got an Aeotec plug on my dishwasher and washing machine. It's actually really easy to see when it's working or not, if the current goes zero for over ten mins, they're probably finished their cycles. Haven't got it fully worked into automations yet, but will get around to it 🙂

wet pilot Oct 9, 2019, 1:01 AM

dishwasher would be cool. Code is weird here and the dishwasher is hardwired through to a switch

hushed basalt Oct 9, 2019, 1:21 AM

I need a klaxon that goes off every time my cicd builds fail

#

Force me to write better code :€

#

Dishwasher isn't so bad imo

#

Dishes can just sit there

#

Wet clothes not so much

#

I'd be more interested in programmatically trying to start a dishwasher rather than monitoring the end
