That sucks ๐Ÿ˜ฆ -- I never had good luck with FedEX

invalid address... hands it off to usps who delivers the package

undone aspen
#

Iโ€™ve had better luck with FedEx abs UPS than any other

#

Hell USPS has delivered directly to the hands of the wrong address.

#

lol

fluid zephyr
#

Sounds like the issue is not company wide, but local to different areas

#

For all the companies I mean

undone aspen
#

Yeah. USPS delivery in my area is very flawed.

#

They lose 1 out of every 15 or so packages

#

For me that is

fluid zephyr
#

ouch, That's my luck with FedEX, If they don't loose it, They take it to the wrong house

undone aspen
#

Most people in my neighborhood are lucky enough to be honest people so they tend to get corrected. But having to do so so often is ridiculous.

I think after last time when I called their support and I had the shipping company rip them a new one with a LARGE package being delivered but not they try harder

Iโ€™ve had USPS misdeliver medication

And you know... packages with medication are labeled as such for importance. Look

#

There's many a times, that "my package got loaded onto the wrong USPS truck", and you guys didn't bother to fix it, by driving to the location anyway, and delivering it?

Well, good, ESP8266's look good. No missing componnts or sideways components.

#

not really home assistant specific (I guess?) - so I'll ask in here... so I'm starting to get my head around various setups and one thing that's a bit confusing.... so if I have a Home Assistant setup and Homekit setup, AND a Hue bridge - all seem able to trigger various devices... is that "okay" or like is it best to rationalise everything into "one ecosystem" be it Home Assistant or Homekit

clever mortar
#

Yes

#

If you have three overlapping "brains" then you can get them fighting each other if they're all connected

#

if they're not, you're making life harder since you now have three disconnected setups

pastel forum
#

Hmm, I see. Problem is - I like various apps in different ways - I like the ease of control via Home.app

clever mortar
#

Well, you can expose everything in HA to Homekit ๐Ÿ˜‰

#

So, then you can use the HomeKit app if that's what you want, and it talks to HA

pastel forum
#

also - I have Eve Smoke alarms which aren't supported outside Homekit AFAICT

#

(BLE)

brisk glen
#

@pastel forum lies

#

buy the eve extender

#

now its homekit wifi

#

๐Ÿ˜‰

pastel forum
#

I've seen that - but it's not altogether clear if HA itself does support Eve Smoke alarms fully - see https://community.home-assistant.io/t/howto-configure-homekit-controller-to-detect-elgato-eve-motion-or-switch/98830/11

#

The smoke alarm is detected enough to monitor its battery, but thats it so far.

#

Anyway, I guess I'll have a think - maybe leave the Eve Smoke "outside" the Home Assistant ecosystem but have everything else in Home Assistant

#

to be honest, when it comes to smoke alarms, I'd prefer the most reliable option possible rather than "it may or it may not"

unreal orbit
#

Nah, knowing your house is not on fire is just a luxury

pastel forum
#

@unreal orbit its worth mentioning I'm deaf so plan is to integrate the Eve Smokes with flashing Hue lights so no, the integration is not a luxury

hence reliability is #1

I have what seems like a really dumb question in my mind, but a serious one nonetheless. Apart from being able to manage Plex within the HA environment, what other benefits and differences are there in running Plex inside HA vs an independent container?

@clever mortar, but from a resource perspective, having Plex inside the same Dockerfile as HA, does that minimize overlap of resources?

late gate
#

I think they are about equal if you compare the video part of them

clear ferry
#

Why would I switch when one thing has everything I need already? And is also one of the most used and mature products on the market?

late gate
#

plex works, it looks good, not had any issues

#

I installed emby, didnt like the ui so no point changing

Also migrating the watched database is not possible AFAIK

you can via trakt I guess

*slides into the chat unwelcomed* Well, let me say, I just recently converted an old laptop to run HA as a virtual machine, and Kodi as my media center on the TV the laptop is next to, and man... I'm remembering how much I hated XBMC by using Kodi.

limpid wind
#

Fair enough, from my usage I dislike Plex ui, I find embys much more user pleasing, and Plex bit annoying

#

Only a few users so I didn't have worry of migrating issues

late gate
#

the good thing is we have options

I would have thought after 10 years or so they'd have worked out all those annoying "why the hell cant i just use my mouse to navigate" crap

Yeah, i just hand Mr Whiskers the remote and tell him to pick something

You should spin emby for one library @clear ferry just to try out the ui

with a keyboard and everything

but he can never seem to get through the menus

I can tell from the pictures it doesn't even interest me @limpid wind haha

the web ui is ok enough. the appletv ui is much worse

Don't dis it till you try it, takes 5 mins to spin one library up :P

at least the apple tv does not stop streaming

motioneye is more reliable than the web ui

we can have a motioneye vs blue iris too :p

and lets put an apple vs android too while we are at it

ok fine... RSTP is more reliable

#

One thing that was annoying me with Plex which I never got around to fixing was I wanted it to default to library view but every now and again it switched back, have any of you encountered that?

late gate
#

Im a huge supporter everyone try whats available if you want

#

plex only reset the unwatched filter if it update its client. not a big problem for me

#

now they added skip intro too that was a good thing

#

so plex is in good development

limpid wind
#

From my experience since switching I feel there is less clicking... Adding users to remote server is easier on Plex though

#

Plex has social logins, where emby makes you create an account, bit less intuitive for family members ect

late gate
#

on web ui or a media player?

limpid wind
#

Both

late gate
#

on plex I have two clicks. show, then play next

#

but they are similar in so many ways

limpid wind
#

Let's say tv shows and you have to go down to episodes, click on the episode then click up to get to play button *things like that erked me

@late gate they have watch together too nowhaha

with gbit internet I see no need to hoard old things

I put mine on a SSD for overkillness

late gate
#

I put cache and transcode directly in ram, m2 for cache of new downloads and nas drives for older

though I cant remember last time plex transcoded anything

patent whale

@forest edge this room clearly states no politics, does it not?

clear ferry
#

I have everything in spinning drives , even with 4 consecutive users and transcoding I never have issues

late gate
#

why dont you just run the tmp into ram. no need to spin up drives all the time

limpid wind
#

I was balling at time and wanted/ assumed it be quieter and use less power (minimal I know)

late gate
#

cant see the cost benefits in the ssd

#

of course m2 as cache

#

but not as long term storage

brisk glen
#

sounds like I need to dig through your trash to find some good gear

#

money is my limit

limpid wind

It's not worth it no, but I thought going overkill it might give me less headaches and longevity (might)

I had a couple of drive failures, but with pairity I can run without a disk while waiting for the warranty replacement

Hmmmm.... room-assistant is looking to be quite nice, so far.

I'm no mod, but bringing up this kind of thing sets off the "know it when we see it" politics switch in my mind.
@forest edge

watching the videos of the protestors from last night get tear gassed and maced has made me lol this morning

If I'm not in the majority, that's fine, I'm new here so I can leave with little friction, but I had hoped that a channel with a no-politics policy might be a nice place to chill

@late gate drives are spinning constantly, I don't care much

nothing about that is political lol

I tried room-assistant, though I would hope it could run on an esp32 for the ble only so I dont have to run a pi in every room

@patent whale trust me, if I make a political comment the mods have no trouble reminding me but posting my reaction to a bunch of people who are grouped with the name "protestors" who did something is not political by any means

Any proper NAS does ram caching though

Every American has the right to protest. Once protesting becomes violence, however, it's no longer protesting, but violence.

The Padawan role (purple) is given to our community members who have shown that they are willing to learn, have shown progress toward becoming a bigger part of our community (a.k.a. a Jedi), and try to lend a helping hand to others when they can. Please do not request to be assigned this role. It must be earned.

Anyone know of any sort of 3rd party software for discord that makes it easier to track only rooms they care about and easily see new conversations and reply to them?

#

You can mute and hide muted channels in the official app

#

And on the web client

#

'mute, until I turn it back on' is the equivalent of hide

#

I was looking for a right-click+hide and it took me a while to figure that out

Hmmm... Well... Room Assistant is up and running, though... Not perfect or tuned as of yet.

It definitely has some issues with it's cluster stuff. It sometimes can't seem to find a leader.

Alright, update: borderlands 3 is fun but not nearly as good as 2 or 1

Yeah, I forgot that you have to do that, too. Like I said, a right-click, select "hide" would be a lot more intuitive

Can't argue too much with the Room Assistant actual results, so far, though. It's definitely tracking me through the house, so far. ๐Ÿ˜„

I mean, even WITH decent motion sensors in my trafficed areas of the house, like the kitchen, I still end up having the lights shut off on me for not "sensing" me in there.

#

What about me?

scenic radish
undone aspen
#

@hushed basalt I use Room Assistant in testing, right now, to determine home and room specific occupancy, that's the idea anyway. So I can possibly keep the kitchen light on better, longer, than just a motion sensor+timeout alone could do. So I can quickly determine that I've left the house already, in case the garage door re-opened or got left open, and it can close it.

scenic radish
#

I find room assistant interesting for sure but with being in a condo with a square floorplan I'd be surprised if it were effective

#

Advantage is one device running monitor in the living room would probably cover the entire condo to determine basic occupancy lol

hushed basalt
#

But are you tracking your phone

#

Or a watch

#

I think you'd be surprised how accurate something like that could be tediore

#

Multiple devices of the same type and orientation, it could tell when you're on your couch or in the kitchen

scenic radish

Yeah I suppose there still would be a significant RSSI difference

If I would manufacture switches and outlets preloaded with tasmota, would people be interested in them?

hushed basalt
#

I don't think you'll have a viable market tbh

#

why? because everyone who wants tasmota just buys tuya and flashes?

#

or because there aren't enough people who want tasmota

#

I just switched a few switches to tasmota and they work much better than our old insteon switches

Also depends on where in the world you are too

Apparently these things were only $100 usd which is much better value

clear ferry
#

I would say your biggest issue with that is the responsibility you have with selling someone else's product, with yet another person's software on it

sturdy saffron
#

Well it depends on the brand you are able to make and support therafter. I have seen many small bramds using quality products but they fizzle out either with finance running out, not marketing enough or be absorbed by bigger brands

#

The better bet will be to convince a local appliance seller and do a tie up with them. Most of the local known brands want a differentiation and able to sacrifice some batches with innovation as an experimentation.
