clear ferry May 15, 2020, 8:24 PM

@tidal bronze good to know, but LEDs are still twitching around in all different colours on three strips, but fine on another, so not sure what is going on, do you use sacrificial pixel ? Any resistor between gpio2 and din?

tidal bronze May 15, 2020, 8:24 PM

#

nothing.

#

Is the power supply common to node and LED

#

Most of these led issues are simple mistakes and how it's wired.

Using a common PSU is the key.

Yes, both LEDs and node is connected to psu with 10cm long wire

Hey guys, I'm currently running Hassio in virtualbox with linux host. Core version 0.106.0 OS Version 3.11. Yesterday my DuckDNS just stopped functioning. I looked and realized that the plugin wasn't running. When I try to turn it on it just stops again. So decided to try and update, OS updated fine to 3.13, but the 0.109.6 update fails.

sms is sent through the same means as actual calls rather that be cdma, gsm etc. (sms can also be sent via mobile data(3g,4g etc) as well, also some mms can be sent through cdma/gsm)

#

but what Tediore doesn't know and will find out later. those usb dongles and even the routers work off the mobile data aspect alone. they don't work off cdma, gsm lol

Some devices have multiple logical entities, such as a battery level sensor, light sensor, etc.

Devices are a way to group those related entities together

suprise noone is talking about china's secondary outbreak yet lol

brave panther May 16, 2020, 6:27 AM

Haha well here in Kentucky, Andy Beshear is pretty annoyed because Indiana, who had roughly 4x as many cases and took a week later to close, opened their stuff up weeks faster than we are. So people are literally just driving over the bridge, 30 mins, and getting their hair cuts and whatnot.

@forest edge Well it's not popular to talk about anything China related so the media ignores it

brave panther May 16, 2020, 6:28 AM

#

yeah it's not great @forest edge ... I fear what this winter will bring. I'm pretty tired of the whole thing.

Antibody tests here are meh, and I'd rather play it safe and just assume.

Getting winded by taking the trash out to the curb was no fun
