poor @clear ferry

@ocean mirage you need to slip in that mods DM
wut?
the mods thingy
i don't understand what you're asking
uhhh no lol
@clear ferry What is your main issue with upnp?
security
hm?
upnp == automatic opening of ports and more
anything on your network can open a port when it wants to
What do you mean?
It's not necessarily awful but if you know how to configure your network you have no real use for it
It's mostly meant for people who try to do multiplayer gaming on their console and can't π
Today @clear ferry told me that UPNP got me my networks up and down in HA.
@orchid rose So if i disable upnp, i lose that func
atx knows much more about networks than I do, trust what he says π
He tells me to use OID
Use SNMP
But i have no clue how to set that up easy

Yes SNMP required OID
If you can
And i have no clue how to make that work :/
atx also thinks that everyone should have full blown servers at their home so maybe actually don't trust what he says π€
See
Full blown ? Nah, just something that isnt ShittyServer 2000 or LulzSwitch 4000 π€£
@clear ferry So , would you update to a Ryzen 5 3600 or a ryzen 7 2700x?
AMD π€’
Does 25 year worth of computer building count as experience rather ?
My Netgear router with a USB disk makes a great NAS and the 2013 NUC is a fantastic server π
3000-ryzens are better for gaming. If you need the extra cores then the 2000-series is fine I suppose
@clear ferry i have 15
I win 
OKBOOMER
HA!
π
you fell for it
Anyway
@orchid rose I feel my 2600 is having issue atm .
I'm wondering, are there motherboards doing DOCP per group of 2 banks?
what's DOCP?
XMP on Asus boards
On Ryzen you should tinker with the RAM a bit if you want the max performance
You can manually adjust everything in those billion settings that ram has. There's a tool that helps you out with that called Ryzen DRAM calculator
Yes, but i have 2 brands of ram...
Then you're probably fucked
Yes.
I don't know if it's possible to run different timings on different slots, but it sounds like a bad idea
Hello,
Not quite sure this is the right channel to present myself?
Well let's go π I am Guillaume, I work in IT and installed HomeAssistant on my RPi (without docker) after 2 or 3 years of domoticz. I have a zigate and 10 zigbee devices, a TPLink switch, a roomba, a 3D printer and a lot of ideas! I just want to add how fantastic HA is and thank everyone for the great job so far!
Hello Guillaume 
welcome to the place where people will amaze you with doing awesome stuff every day
except @fading zodiac he just pings @mΓΈdz
that's pretty awesome, ngl
Yes
@orchid rose DOIT
Nah, I'm not that awesome
Mimiix, why not sell the other ram and buy a matching set?
I really doubt it's a worthwhile upgrade from 2600
where should I ask questions about telegram_bot? π
it's an #integrations-archived ?
yes!
then, you guessed it #automations-archived π
OK
What is UPnP/IGD?
Its showing in my discovery for some reason
And when I set it up, it says it found "Onhub". I have no clue what it is
there you go
Why is it called UPnP/IGD then?
Because that is the protocol it announces
Oh
best new tv for integration into home assistant?
#hardware-archived or #integrations-archived would be a good place to ask
@last dirge you doing ok?
Yeah, sleep it over!
awfully chatty in here today
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
just because we smell you @forest edge

man that yaml post on the forums......just wow lots of feelings in there lol
a lot of everything lol
watched a thing last night about how our food supply is split between public and commercial and cannot be switched so while shelves at grocery stores were going empty farmers were dumping milk and breaking eggs and shit
you would think by now we would have something better in place that wasn't so unflexing
it's kind of dumb they didn't think that through and not just our governments fault, individual business who deal with that stuff that are going under could have set something up lol
Starting in April, weβre requiring all Nest users who have not enrolled in two-factor authentication or migrated to a Google Account to take an extra step by verifying their identity via email. - hmmm... I wonder if this will affect the Integration
@shy comet You said the same comments about the yaml post yesterday
hmm, doesn't say they're forcing the migration so maybe not?
Its required that you use an emailed code but I suppose that wouldn't be a problem with the API tokens
who knows Β―_(γ)_/Β―

I need to stop quoting names, I am jumping back and forth between IRC and i forget how jarring it is to quote someone on Discord.
lol the one irc server i have left has a discord sync bot
@rare condor when people do this
@scenic radish @scenic radish @scenic radish @scenic radish @scenic radish @scenic radish @scenic radish @scenic radish @scenic radish @scenic radish @scenic radish @scenic radish @scenic radish @scenic radish I agree
:rageping:

lol

gotta find some more random shit to send you
NO
potato
bullet casing
how about a nice 10 cm coax cable?
I find its when someone is getting helped they keep quoting your name as it like assurance they are been heard and have your attention.
actually i probably have a few shell casings somewhere
bottle of murican air
you should have seen me bring home....... 80+ meters of 10base2 on a bus once @scenic radish
around my neck
lol
it was part of a halloween costume where you were dressed as the terminator?
LOL
i get it
I wish
I just wanted to cable up some servers at home
and a local school was throwing away 10base2
so i saw my 1 minute load average jump to 14.5 on my 8 logical CPU machine earlier for no apparent reason
must have been in 1999
one token ring to rule them all
then... i closed a single chrome tab. back to 1
NETBEUI
that halloween mention made me realize if it comes back in fall trick or treating may not be a thing this year
different masks I reckon
@clear ferry im pretty sure were all fucked until the vaccine personally
did you see all of those idiots in Michigan yesterday?
yea wtf
and in ohio
I'd be willing to bet my house those people are the same people that complained about others blocking traffic during protests
yeah @shy comet i swear i must be missing something because i feel like what they announced in the YAML post isn't a big deal. i mean, i like configuring integrations in YAML (and anyone who's seen my config knows how well i have it split out), but i really only care about automations, scripts, etc. being configured in YAML and i can't imagine they'd remove that
Were they the Church group who went to Walmart?
oh and template sensors and stuff
@rare condor no, these were the idiots that blocked a hospital
Thats much worse
I feel like you should be charged with murder
Like that's actively trying to kill someone
it is
I need to send @scenic radish that candy
why were they trying to kill people
sounds like attempted murder, maybe manslaughter if premeditation can't be proven
yeah
because you see, Haxxa, some people are dumbasses
they were protesting being told to self-isolate
lol group of 10 or more and they all get written up here
lol
oof
I have no clue how much of that shit crypto I've still got

SNATCH BLOCK
lifted a 150 pound IBC tote pretty easily
did you have that on speed dial?
lol nah, yout <tab> snatchblock in the chrome bar
it wasn't happy with my original rigging and I had to add a cradle made of 550 cord on the tote
had the other stuff laying around from a DIY "cable" weight system I set up
noice
@last dirge what did you decide for the control system for the pump (Arduino?)
I still haven't decided yet
I found a pump that'll just regulate pressure and pump whenever it "sees" a pressure dip on its high side
and it's okay if it runs dry
so I'll probably just use an ESP platform
it'll be so nice now that brian LONGNAME does not fill up my whole mobile screen when I tag him π€£
thanks @scenic radish
names aren't unique on discord are they?
nope
thats why you get a number with your name
you can have people with the same name on the same server π
@scenic radish #411
not this server, but you can
but in the backend, all users are stored like this: 92065137652936704
I se
O_O
no.
I could just "fix" that
do you feel like atx is touching you in not so clean areas?
maybe I should change my nickname and picture
and pretend to be a #330944238910963714 user
π€
π© for the picture?
lol we should all pick the same picture
@clever mortar you may have the power but you wouldn't abuse your responsibility, I know your too feeble hearted π
let's all do frencks picture
haahahah
and we can call ourselves frenck{rannum}

just catching up, lmao
dont do it teddi
xa.
Sky News host Paul Murray said βthe bloke from the shopping centre in South Australiaβ who refused to accept the return of thousands of rolls of toilet paper in exchange for a refund was an βabsolute sensationβ.
Drakes Supermarkets Director John-Paul Drake said the toilet pa...
yeah the whole refund thing is a fucking laughable thing
BRB, BETTER GET TOILET PAPER FOR 6 MONTHS
But wait, now I can't feed my family, please give money back
π¦
I have no idea what the volume of usage of toilet paper is, but I shop two bags of 24 rolls like every 4-5 months
must resist urge to spend stimulus money on smart blinds
@last dirge that diy cable pulley system reminds me of this, never had to do this, but cool! https://youtu.be/M2w3NZzPwOM
Lol. Just realized phnx posted the same link π€
Anyone invested in stocks while the markets were bottoming out?
@honest geode they definitely haven't reached bottom yet, wait until the us is closed down for two more months 
And all socialist stimulus money is gone
Yea the US is fucked, good luck with Drumpf in charge.. Rest of the world will be fine
lol US goes down the world will go into a panic
we already know whats going to happen
the few places taht do open up will be new hot spots
most likely but one can hope enough people will be smart enough to continue the distancing and wash their damn hands lol
Haha good one
US won't even delay voting, so people stand in line with with 10 cm between them.. It's a joke
considering the vaccine is still a ways off, what's likely going to happen is the majority in a cluster will get it, get over it and then the trailing people who get it in the end will just be those people you never hear about
I think we are 2-3 weeks from people starting to rioting and looting
voting cannot be delayed for anything
Apparently not
@forest edge did you wash your hands today
it's all written in stone
Weβre tired of winning.
@honest geode they already did in Ohio and Michigan 
@clear ferry I wash my hands and eyes everytime i wake up and see you
Ohio will@be opening businesses by May 1.

I still cannot believve we got the choice between Biden and Trump.. talk about a nightmare all during a pandemic.. it's like God hates us lol
Having a 73 year old to run the country is itself bad enough. I won't even trust a 73 year old to cough and not piss himself, let alone run an entire country
social distancing at a restaurant sounds like a good thing to keep for the long run
@forest edge karma catching up.
I guess lol
usually restaurants try and cram as mch as they can in their restaurants
I want Jimmy Carter back
"it's fine, we got the virus under control, it's already over" - blows up and US now have more infected and dead than anywhere else in the Wolrd
@shy comet try that at a bar that sells food lol
their gonna hae to rethink things for sure
Totally and royally
You should come to Norway @shy comet @forest edge we hate sitting close to people here, if there is only one table left, that is between two other tables, we go somewhere else

hahaha
even when im parking my car i park in a spot away from people
and always end up with someone parked next to me
You do, Sonoma
@clear ferry remember those Norway tourist blogs I told you about where they all state the same thing about how Norwegians come across as assholes but in a polite way? lol
@forest edge https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
@forest edge yes like my wife says, the more polite we are, the more angry we are
lol
lol see that wouldn't bold well mixing Americans with that. between how sarcastic we can be we're also good at calling people out on shit lol
we'd walk into a Norwegian food joint, see all the locals spread apart and immediately wonder wtf was wrong to the point we'd walk back out
Let's just say... I tend to get into interesting confrontations with American colleagues 
I love this painting
I should get a copy of it
This one is also great
@clear ferry https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftlvreFtA2A&t=1265s found a HOA 38:44
See no HOA, but a beautiful country 
lol cause all the buildings are same color
very relaxing but you know damn well that place would get boring quick
unless fishing was your be all end all
Now see this would be cool to own this whole valley https://youtu.be/ftlvreFtA2A?t=2018 just by the looks of it this is probably twice the size of my farm
lol
haha
GUYS
so the WKQX morning crew is having these at-home happy hours where they go on live stream on facebook and they invite some listeners to join the chat. they had me join the video chat and asked if i wanted to do my parody live... and i did
that was so crazy, such a blast
nice! did all 12 listeners enjoy the show?
Cool!
Trump says American's can beat any challenger.. that includes you @clear ferry π
turns out the sonoff zigbee bridge is a turd based off the reviews I've seen of it so far
what a shame
@scenic radish would this work
with open('/home/pi/.hass/.other/covid_local.txt', 'w') as file:
json.dump(summary, file)
Also I don't know if it's a better convention to call it a .json file rather than a .txt
yeah i actually don't know why i made the extension txt lol
i'm gonna change that now
Don't forget to change it in HA too
yup
Are you running this script on a cron job?
yeah i am, every 3 hours
and yeah what you wrote above worked
with open('/home/pi/.hass/.other/covid_local.json', 'w') as file:
json.dump(summary, file)
@last dirge got few minutes to spare, testing out sht30
Just one less function and does the same thing
indeed, thanks for the tip
@tidal bronze you don't know how happy it makes me to see someone use dew point
from the first page in my frontend
Gotta get the solar panel up and finish this project over the weekend.
ooo
also, as you can see, it's back to 30s and 40s after a week of 60s and 70s... just like every year

Looks all dutch to me
also i didn't know that the attribution state attribute appears like this in the frontend
Data provided... in the lower right
finally... am i the only one who didn't know if you click on the blank space in the header of those popup windows, it turns the window into a L O N G B O Y E that fills the width of the display?
actually anywhere on the header
it does?
BIG WIDTH BOI
yup
Noticed it sometime ago. π
i did not know this
E X P A N D
also you're welcome everyone, i corrected the wrong form of its used in this message found on those cards:
This entity does not have a unique ID, therefore its settings cannot be managed from the UI.
bothered me enough to see "it's" instead of "its" that i started a PR solely for that and corrected some other things 2
@tidal bronze have you found any info on how to make that humidity a useful measurement?
Running a test next few days/week. Debating how deep to go for grass. Will keep you posted on findings.
I found something that said "you have to weigh a known volume of soil and blah blah blah"
so I stopped reading all that shit
like this
A step-by-step, easy to understand, guide to calibrating volumetric soil water content sensors for researchers and growers. Ideal for TDR and capacitance sensors.
Going to graph it out on grafana + sprinklers will be a learning curve for sure.
you using esphome?
tasmota
@tidal bronze what weather card is that?
lol that's on the phone. Don't use a weather card.
oh
do you want a cordless drill or do you want a hammer drill?
because if you get one that combines those things it won't be much good at either
and do you mean hammer drill or impact driver?
that T fitting that dumps from the top to bottom have an air valve on it?
I think my impact driver is my favorite tool of all time
@forest edge no
The good ole Georgia deck. Time to seal it
you should add one. they make bleeder flaps for plumbing that don't allow water to travel back through that would work with what you got there
otherwise air gets trapped and the water trickles
the end of that tee is bushed to 3/4 with a plug right now
2" is a bigass straw
I don't think there's going to be much air being trapped
yea house plumbing is generally 2"
Hammer drill
@hushed basalt hammer drills plug in the wall
unless you shell out a thousand bucks for a Hilti
air gets trapped in 6" pipe @last dirge lol
Just get a Dewalt and be done with it
yeah, the other kind of "hammer drill" is shit
@hushed basalt are you talking about these things?
That's way overkill for brick
water flows best when there is a vent
Plus you need a power cord and it's way heavier than it needs to be
I'm not trying to drive into concrete
there's a vent path all the way back up
bottom tank is connected to the output of the top tank
@hushed basalt Dewalt XR if you are not going for concrete
they're essentially the same tank
you'll find out what i'm talking about soon enough lol
I'd go Milwaukee or Makita over Dewalt
they've got a LOT more stuff in their ecosystem that uses that same battery
@forest edge I'd have to run that air vent up higher than the highest water input, wouldn't I?
nope, right at the t fitting would be fine
@hushed basalt or M18 hammer drill. Both same price range
@forest edge this is definitely a wait and see situation
otherwise I have to replace most of that pipe and fittings
the vent thing has to be installed vertically
your using a pump on the bottom or still trying gravity pressure?
pump
brick doesn't really need a hammer drill
just a masonry bit in a not shitty drill will get it done
concrete is a whole different animal though
tool only, $570
lol
Yeah I'm familiar with those ;)
with a pump you won't notice much, it will still put a slight strain on the pump but nothing major
Want to see expensive look for chasers
I would consider adding a vvent in the future for sure tho regardless
that vent is to let air IN, isn't it?
yea for flow
the pipe comin out the top of all of that is 3"
the issue is ONLY when you havve water in both tanks
it can't syphon air through water
why would it need to even if it's gravity feeding?
what would happen is, the top tank would be slower refilling the bottom than the output you have coming out of the bottom tank etc
water going out the bottom would pull water out of the bottom tank, through the pipe, through the top tank which will have air behind it
so imagine draining the bottom tank then having to wait for the top to refill the bottom before using it lol
that won't happen
the bottom tank will be filled by the top tank as the water is pushed out the bottom tank
flow gets restricted in that pipe that connects the two
that pipe's the same diameter as the outlet valve
I need to print one of these for dust collection
I also need to get a 3d printer
and it'll be significantly larger than whatever's actually connected at the bottom
let me see if I can find something that better explains what i'm talking about
This is my absolute favourite little drill driver though
12v is way better for general purpose
love how they have neat little diagrams for water systems cept this scenario lol
like i said with a pump you may not notice but the stretch of pipe that connects the two water containers is where you will get restriction it's inevitable because you have bends and it's not a straight vertical pipe
size of the pipe is irrelevant
the pump I'm using will be about 5 gallons per hour
err minute
so it would take an hour to empty the bottom tank
so that's another thing you'll have to watch for
water carries air, if air cannot escape for any reason back into the top tank the bottom tank won't fill completely with trapped air
like a straw when you see air bubbles between two stretches of coke or liquid
most of those plumbing vents allow air to go both ways for balance but some only allow air in. you want balance.
It depends on your autonomy
If you can work less days and get your work done in less time then chill out
If you're bums in seat I don't like the idea of working 10 hours plus commute
6 hours plus commute is already long enough imo :D
Compressed work week
That just sounds like flextime with extra steps
My boss just says if I deliver what I'm supposed to in hours overall, I can do whatever I want
haha right
i do both project work and operations so as long as myself and staff are easily reachable anytime and you get your project work done when you're supposed to it's all good
i'm not breathing down anyones neck and it pays off
Exactly
If I have a customer cancel or move an appointment I can just sit in the garden with my strawberries, I'll pick it up next week probably anyway 
there is a level of pressure that a manager has to apply but if you have good employees then it wont be much and they will deliver
Yeah, I haven't had a manager pressure me the last 13 years, and I've had 7 managers in that time frame
They know I deliver
since it didn't come across to you as pressure you've been lucky enough to have good managers but there is definitely pressure, always, comes straight down from the top
To be fair, that mentality is not part of the Scandinavian business mindset
oh ok, interesting
Which is why I don't want an American manager

Most European manager refrain from that style too in my experience
i can say in the american workforce, especially at a real professional level, there is a lot of pressure to perform
i think a lot of times this comes from unrealistic customer expectations or overselling
Probably not at a Japanese level, but there is some small penis compensation issues in the us manager style for sure from what I've seen
"wang measuring contest"
Exactly
Come down to John Wang's emporium, we have all the measuring bands you could ever need for contests
I'll take an extra small pls
You'll be a great manager
if you have a big dick you get into porn π
pays better and you'll definitely get laid
So we should only hire managers with big schlongs, then everybody will be happy 
lol

anybody work a "compressed work week"?
@last dirge I don't, but I know folks who do, and folks who did, but don't any more. Of those who don't any more, some stopped because the company wasn't really ready for the idea, some because their colleagues couldn't adjust, and a few because their life changed and it didn't make sense any more.
There was some European country that wanted to introduce 4 day work weeks
Don't remember which

Where would I ask about a usb z wave stick connectin to hass on a server VM
Becuase most of the people here I would guess dont run hass on a server VM
#general-archived probably, if it's hyper-v you can't
Childcare has become free here temporarily
i love being stuck using the discord web app because the actual app only opens to a black screen π¦
@bitter zinc running in a VM is pretty common tbh
@hushed basalt pretty stiff curve from 400$ per day to free

So would you know how to route the USB stick to a VM in hyper V?
Hyperv π€’
Never seen anyone done that in Hyperv tbh
Hyper-V doesn't allow the pass-through of a USB-attached device on a host to a VM. This would break the desired abstraction of the VM from the hardware, and therefore stop VM mobility
Esxi or kvm
Based on customer usage it would probably be - esxi - xenserver - hyperv - KVM
If you know hyper-v, esxi (vmware) will be a breeze
Where esxi has 60+ % market share
Hyper v is probably the most convoluted hypervisor I have ever used
It is utter shit to learn
Only customers I have with it are small government customers, that get it for free with their Microsoft licences
π€’
We use Hyper-V at work. Can confirm, its free with our MS volume licenses and it sucks to run π€£
They have to be special...
Esp lemon tree monitor
Have you guys ever used a USB redirector for directing a USB to a VM?
That is my solution for a z wave stick
if you do usb over ethernet and choses zwave because it's encrypted, don't forget to use ssl on your network connection ;) else you kind of defeat the purpose.

Hello everyone, I'm a total noob in hassio, i just discovered it
A friend of mine was searching a good home automation app, and so I searched for him
Hass.io doesn't exist π It's now known as Home Assistant (aka #330944238910963714)
Home Assistant is now known as Home Assistant Core (aka #672217570283094017)
And now you do π
Can it be easily used totally offline? Without external api calls?
Yes
#330944238910963714 may need some tweaks to behave properly
You do need internet connectivity for updates obviously
Hmm okay
But, as long as you can arrange that at install time, and any time you add a new integration, it'll work fine
does HA have a word of the day or verse of the day feature? Has anyone done something like this?
What 
π€ why is that a surprise?
Just looking to see if that is something that I could integrate into my ui.
I used to have Joke of the day. You could implement something very easy
man fortune
yea it could even be the joke of the day. How did you go about your integration?
I just have never heard of a word or verse of the day
lol
i still want the random insults when home assistant goes to safe mode
Sounds very new age
it's a thing
@scenic radish just store my comments and make it randomise them
"you really fucked it up now, genius"
what is man fortune?
It was a thing ... 30 years ago
man fortune is a command to type on a non Supervised Linux box

i just wanna know why my CPU randomly jumps to 90+ C when i'm not doing anything intensive
Do you have an AMD?
intel

lawl
Could be bad paste, I had a laptop once that would spin up the fan randomly
Replaced the goop and it was forever silent
yeah i might have to tear it down more than just vacuuming out the dust soon
My desktop makes a lot of noise... I changed the fan, still lot more noise
@last plaza thanks much I will try it out
i don't even care about the noise, i just don't want it to shutdown again because of hitting tmax lol
i tweaked thermald to ramp the CPU down at 80 C and it hasn't happened since thankfully
yeah
probably because the fan vents are clogged... I used t have the problem, changed the fan and since then it was working fine. never shuts down
yay i don't understand templates at all hehe
And read the docs linked from the #templates-archived channel π
I've noticed that I start drinking earlier in the day on fridays with this quarantine
opposed to not drinking at all
π€
Is it Friday already? Can't tell these days! Just got one last meeting, I'm gold
ya, work for me is infinitly harder because we have to code through RDP on a VM that is connected to a VPN. And our software is donglized and the dongle doesn't transfer through RDP so we have to Teamview in to verify things work.
it's just a pain
and laggy
@fathom sparrow interesting, i don't have zoneminder or anything like that tho
odd
@fathom sparrow yes, we have a few teams that code through RDP, via VPN, and I know it is a big pain for them! We can't have them download the code locally due to IP issues
It is official, Ohio will re-open businesses May 1. Schools continue to close remainder of the school year.
yeah doesn't make sense to send the kids back to school at this point
most offices are concluding their WFH soon as well
ah! Buffalo is a nice place, but colder than ohio π
the area i'm in is just snowy, only downside. I can deal with the cold
Yah, LA and NY are doing the same thing pretty much
Tesla building a giga factory there in Buffalo isn't it?
that's good, buffalo needs something
we go there almost every year to Niagara Falls - mostly empty area, hardly see people there
US side is pretty dismal in the eyes of most new yorkers
we always go to the canada side, much more enjoyable
but that got harder when they made us get passports
when we drive to Niagara Falls, the first toll reminds us we are in NY π
Canada side is beautiful for sure! we love the canada side as well
My last trip to the canadian side
Yep, US side you get a nice view of the buildings on the canadian side
lol
standing in that dry area on your phone is pretty cool too
it's got a 'walk under the falls' area
photo* not phone
we love the walk - great in the early mornings, as you hardly see anyone
is there a reason the β button to upload stuff is only available on the lounge ?
I don't see Mothra in that pic
Mothra? π€
yea never seen the second Godzill amovie
yea Mothra is in the falls in that movie
lol

I built myself a proud parent because we could all use some more pats on the shoulder. And in case nobody has told you that they're proud of you in a while: I'm proud of you. Yeah, you! Here's a p...
Adams reaction is the cutest thing ever!
Whyyyy are old printers so heavy. I just installed a new shelf and I fear my old HP Laserjet will destroy it
new printers are still stupid heavy imo
printers are the one thing that i feel like haven't improved much in weight, design, reliability, or functionality in 30 years
It's 3kg for my wifi-print-scan thingie and 8kg for my 20 years old LaserJet :D
The LaserJet more reliable...
It's 22:00 Friday night, and I weigh printers. Hm.
@low harness thats great. Is her workshop the old bunker rebuild that I saw a few months back?
Can somebody here help me to scrape a sensor?
Thanks!
I'm snowblind just thinking about that bedroom
I can down the brightness π
i thought about putting lights under the bed for a night-light style glow but we have too much junk crammed under it for storage π
I think I need more light strips
I have 12 lightstrip π
what are they ? custom, hue ?
@restive pond looks wonderful!!
@fiery sorrel yeelight
you'll be amazed how good under the bed lights will look...
yup
The next step is the electric shutters integration
And the air condition
And the roborock vacuum cleaner ππΎ
I thought about getting one of those Ikea lamps at some point and to modify them for some HA stuff. I was unfortunately convinced otherwise π¦
Ikea lamp are correctly integrated on HA, with a conbee2 gateway
But colors are ... Ugly. So I moved it to the restrooms ...
Compared to the yeelights, or innr lamp....
I didn't try Philips because much more expensive
I was thinking about adding led strips and some sort of esp to control it too
Rgb is just for... Gimmicks
@clever mortar I've made two of those, but still only use the CT
They make great holiday lights or party lights
Yeah, 99.999999999999999999% CT myself
Only RGB I do is the headrest in the bedroom
Gimmick doesn't necessarily mean bad. I've had some fun with mine π
Yeelight
And my daughter's one lamp, but I'm replacing it with the cloud lamp I'm supposed to build soon


Before or after she gets a job and retires? π
That's ok, they live just around the corner, I'll put the kettle on for them

i have a lil motion activated night light thing i put under the bed
See, here we bribe the cops with a proper cuppa
works great when i get in/out of the bed
one of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071CFBXXZ
and i have one on the door trim on the inside of the master bath so i don't keep running into the damn wall
@clever mortar milk or tea first?
Well... that's how wars start
Clearly milk first, but some heathens just don't understand
I agree
Of course, maybe it's really the whisky first...
@last plaza does the first 2 parts of the code you shared go into my config file? I assume that the sensor will . but the first part I am not sure.
Dam, now Iβm going to have to redo Lovelace again after I finish installing the rest of the unifi protect cameras....
they came out with another?
mortal kombat is so old lol
pretty much what atx yells right before trying to wrestle on his undies every morning. MORTAL KOMBAT! then trips and his wife says, IDIOALITY!
@silent canyon just put the sensor code with other sensors and automation code in your automations section. that should work
got it
@shy comet is it good ?
i loved it
its made by the same people who do the DC animated movies
rated R so nice and gory
pretty much what atx yells right before trying to wrestle on his undies every morning. MORTAL KOMBAT! then trips and his wife says, IDIOALITY!
@forest edge kinda weird that you know that
haha
Can't figure out how to install the https://github.com/kalkih/mini-graph-card ... it says "This card is available in HACS (Home Assistant Community Store)" But for the life of me I can't find it ... am I looking in the wrong spots??
@scenic radish Instagram..
@shy comet going to check it out tonight. Thanks.
what is up with the new batman cartoons were they swear?
π
In my list.
i love all thes new adult animated things
it might be, I see the clips on youtube
@forest edge with the drunk Gordon right?
I don't know, just see the clips on youtube, usually has harley in them but both her and even the batman guy was swearing
ill look but it sounds like the Harley Quinn show
but the cartoon is done in the same way as saturday morning ones
yea just all fucked up right?
like that same style as the typical batman cartoons etc
well the only thing that was off was harely looks like a teen in it and the swearing
With Harley Quinn's animated series just around the corner, check out the hilarious final trailer for the latest DC Universe exclusive.
#ign #harleyquinn #entertainment

yea thats it
yup thats the show
its so amazing lol
the girl from big bang theory plays harley.....Alan Tudyk voices the joker
That's a good one
Yeah really
theres another good animated one coming soon
Solar Opposites
made by one of the guys who did Rick and Morty
gonna be on Hulu
gonna have to watch that Harley one now lol
ive been really impressed with everything DCU has put out on their online platform
Titans is really good
Doom Patrol is fucking awesome
Swamp thing was kinda eh but i heard that show was plagued even during filming
StarGirl should be interesting since it premieres online then they play it on CW
so def not rated R like the others but they mustve thought it would do really well to play it on network tv too
I enjoyed the arrowverse as well
yea me too, stoked that Flash comes back on Tuesday!
Woops I ordered the ts100
final season of Agents of Shield should be interesting too
AOS should have died two seasons ago
lol
it was defnitely more fun when it had more movie tie ins
like first season if you watched it alnog with the movies was really well done
the new D+ shows will be good
D+ is a farce, since we don't even have it in Europe yet, so all of Europe is just pirating everything
Think it was slated for release in September in the UK
Probably later in Scandinavia
π΄ββ οΈ
i bet u once the marvel shows and more adult content starts rolling out itll get better
right now they dont have enough new stuff
Disney + at least gotta come up with Bear King π
All that thunder was taken pretty swiftly
netflix has a good knack for documentaries like that lol
i just wish the adam sandler content was better, not happy with any of the stuff hes done on that platform
So happy with WLED + Hyperion
Now if I can extract colors for ceiling downlights. π
yea one of these days ill look into that lol
android tv grabber?
hmm
Subscribe to beta and you can install from shield
@tidal bronze how's the soil sensor going?
Nice.
Pictures can be deceiving π
in the box including all of the shipping stuff it's 3 pounds
I have to order a BMS and some rivet pliers to make the pack
@shy comet BTW tv grabber > hyperion > wled UDP
Check ebay for cheap BMS units. They have some crazy stuff.
I found one on Amazon for like $10
yea i need to order parts one of htese days lol
What would be the best channel for discussion the pros and cons of ESPHome vs Tasmota?
In the past I've just programmed my NodeMCUs directly, but I have a decent number of them now and would like the support (specifically OTA updates) that these packages seem to provide
@shy comet all you need is pi, esp8266 and leds.
hmm i got all that
well WS2811 strips
that were supposed to be returned to amazon but ups never picked up
they ended up returning the item they were delivering like wtf lol
Lol. If you have wled running takes may be 15 minutes to get it going.
I was staying away from all that hdmi capture headache. This is so much better.
Sunday going to work on getting audio sync dialed in to TV lights + room lights.
i did have it running but the lights weren't getting power from the esp8266 i dont have a power inverter unless i can power them from the pi?
im a bit of a noob in the DIY realm lol
That's way too much.
Public service announcement: don't put weight cells under the bed. Your wife/partner will kill you
Been there done that
For TV only right ?
or is there cheaper and less powerful i should be getting lol
yea small area to test with lol
That's good.
ok
i got a electric fireplace so plenty of space to hide
Right on.
like a laptop charger
cleaner and dont requre open connections
