invalid address... hands it off to usps who delivers the package
Iโve had better luck with FedEx abs UPS than any other
Hell USPS has delivered directly to the hands of the wrong address.
lol
Sounds like the issue is not company wide, but local to different areas
For all the companies I mean
Yeah. USPS delivery in my area is very flawed.
They lose 1 out of every 15 or so packages
For me that is
ouch, That's my luck with FedEX, If they don't loose it, They take it to the wrong house
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
Iโve had USPS misdeliver medication
they made the driver retrace their steps
And you know... packages with medication are labeled as such for importance. Look
lol
like how the hell do you fuck up a patio set delivery
it does not get hidden in their trucks lol
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?
You f'ked up, not me. Fix it. ๐
blahhh... I got to go do this work thing now
Well, good, ESP8266's look good. No missing componnts or sideways components.
So, guess I'll get dressed and head up to Wally world and see if they have any microSD cards today.
Still, wondering why Amazon won't let me order just 1 more Ecolink Z-Wave Door & Window Sensor. I mean, seriously.
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
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
Hmm, I see. Problem is - I like various apps in different ways - I like the ease of control via Home.app
Well, you can expose everything in HA to Homekit ๐
So, then you can use the HomeKit app if that's what you want, and it talks to HA
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
Still no progress on the BLE front - barely had any time for Home Assistant this last quarter. That said the plan is still the same - going native asyncio is still the priority. The asyncio IP client is working, but not yet stable enough to merge. This will allow event support...
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"
Nah, knowing your house is not on fire is just a luxury
@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 was joking ๐ )
Yeah honestly idk if I would trust an automation like that to ever be as reliable as it needs to be
Or at least run them in parallel
@brisk glen for various reasons, they're not an option nowadays sadly (I did have them in past)
@unreal orbit yea, fair argument definitely... not going to put eggs in one basket, that's for certain
Redundancy is key when it comes to critical components like that
@last dirge wtf, Ohio now charging $200 extra when renewing license plates for electric cars. Just got the renewal letter, and shocked at the renewal fee! $266.42 per year! https://www.cleveland.com/open/2019/12/ohios-new-100-fee-for-hybrids-and-200-fee-for-electric-vehicles-goes-into-effect-next-week.html
@pastel forum I know @hushed basalt does a lot of smart automation for his wife who is also hard of hearing
Lol you pay for license plates?
Yep. In this Free country, nothing is free ๐
Or does that include the road tax?
No road tax. Please donโt give ideas to our politicians.
How much would that be?
Ah! Norway isnโt that great as people think it is then ๐
Same price for all vehicles, except electric vehicles which are cheaper and veteran vehicles which are free
Why is there an electric car fee lol
I know! They are penalizing the electric car owners. Penalizing!. Just wanted to say it twice. ๐คฃ
Car registration in most states is essentially a road tax
Not to mention toll toads, which are literally a road tax ๐
Good thing we donโt have toll roads in Ohio. That really sucks!
It does. We have very few here in SoCal, and it is very easy to get onto one without realizing it
I donโt miss those toll roads a bit. Worst is NJ/NY
@last plaza it's lobbying from the big American petrol car companies to take down electric vehicles 
America ๐
Iโm pretty sure! Speaking of gas prices being down and all, I still see $2.00+ per gallon here.
Our gas prices are almost $2 cheaper than normal
We dipped down to 11NOK per liter, we are back at 15NOk per liter already
Didnโt they go like negative? I should go collect my gas money then ๐คฃ
1.13usd per liter 1.54usd per liter for you bald eagles
crude oil went negative for a while but not sure if your car runs on that ๐
Ha yeah, oil contracts were a terrible investment for a minute
What do you call a nerd from Finland? ** Nerdic ** ๐คฃ @orchid rose
@clear ferry "liter" ๐คทโโ๏ธ

@last plaza the only good thing about ohio is cedar point
That no one goes these days โน๏ธ

i had a trip planned for last weekend โน๏ธ
Social distancing did pretty good damage to every business.
@unreal orbit 4.2usd per gallon to 5.8 USD per gallon
i had a trip planned for last weekend โน๏ธ
@amber bramble oh man! You live in Ohio?
That's more expensive than I've ever seen it even in CA
@last plaza Indiana
I think we have the highest prices in the country
CP is about a 6 hour drive
Ah, looks like Hawaii has us beat. Makes sense
That is 7.2usd per gallon
We usually go every year to CP, havenโt planned this year.
I would definitely come up with better commuting solutions if gas was that expensive (which is one of the reasons CA taxes gas so much)
90% of the gas price is tax
I used to go a few times a year. Only made it once since our daughter was born though
Iโve heard there is a shortage of bikes in the USA as folks are scared to ride public transportation.
I've always been scared to ride public transport ๐คฃ
They have Jurassic park, and water park nearby - Great Wolfe Lodge we like it there!
I'll take a train occasionally, but I've never actually been on a bus in LA
I always thought it would be fun to work there for a season or 2 after highschool
Once Elon digs tunnels, maybe you can ride in the tunnels
I occasionally do public transport abroad
Trains and trams I'm fine with, and major bus routes
Getting a bus from random point to random point can be ... interesting
We took a bus from the airport when we visited TX. 2/10 would not do again. Definitely got sat on for half the trip because it was packed so tight
Wait time is a killer for me with the public transport. Not that we have any good public transport in Ohio.
Long distance bus rides can be a torture here in the USA.
I just rent cars or do cabs if it is a business trip
Long distance train rides are super cozy though, I would definitely do that again
That would be my speedy Volvo v70
I've done London to Brussels on the EuroStar - that was actually pretty chill
Corporate private jets can be super fun!
I suspect I'm "some way" from that
Private prop plane, however, not so great
tired of dashians! People go crazy here, I cannot understand!
I hate all reality tv
I can't understand why people would even bother with influencers
$$$$$$$$
I hate all reality tv
@unreal orbit Confirmed, Agreed, declaring war against all "reality TV". Do you wish to donate to the cause? ๐
lol - influencers are inspirational porn actors
Their life sucks more than the people they try to influence ๐
Alrighty then.. Now, NOOBS.
My step-sister used to watch reality tv constantly when I lived at home. I for sure lost brain cells just hearing it in the background
@last dirge must be busy watching Housewives of Atlanta ๐คฃ
Based on how much money they make I'm convinced 70% of the world has a combined iq of less than a million @unreal orbit
Well the US sure doesn't collectively add very much to that number
lol
lol
Yeah that makes me very sad if I think about it for too long

Why? Is that like made in China or something?
It's not green
Ah!
exactly ^^^^
paint it ๐ john deer are horrible as far as right to repair goes
Iโve got green
no damn way ....jd is the most reliable and parts can be had for just about any tractor that was ever made
I prefer to buy one that most people use in the market. Chances are there are lots of videos on how to fix them.
then it is green for you unless you want the crap from walmart
Walmart has tractors?
you have a lawn mower is what i was going by
Ah, I have a Honda lawn mower. Havenโt used much. Mostly use the riding one. Iโm lazy.
I wish I had a yard big enough for a riding mower. It only takes like 10 minutes with my walk-behind
I solve that problem by not having a lawn
@unreal orbit you can cut mine if you want
In Ohio, sprinkler system is not really needed. If I have one, Iโd have to mow every week. After spring, I do every other week.
There's a great Assetto Corsa mod for it if you want to try it out on a track skalavala. It has a bit over 100bph so be careful
I used to love using my grandpa's riding mower for his lawn. Then again I wasn't old enough to drive a real car so that was the Indy 500 to me
Mr K, thatโs a nice one! Looks like Colin Furzeโs modified version.
sometimes I want to use the middle finger emote, but, I will not. Also who wants a tractor unless it drives it's damn self.
@unreal orbit that tractor is a little more than a riding mower ... 32 hp and 1200 # front end loader
Heโs got two wheels up on a lawn mower! I need that!
Badass exhaust!
Awesome weather for a bike ride today. Not too hot, not too cold. Not too windy.
Tell THAT to my Florida sun!
I should have an automation to tell@me when to ride bike!
@dull chasm are you serious about gofundme?
skalavala afaik it's based on something real so you might be able to get one ๐
Hondaโs new Mean Mower V2 broke the Guinness World Record for a lawnmower to go from zero to 100 mph, with a time of 6.29 seconds. At top speed, the mower can reach 150.99 mph, according to Honda. ๐
... and still mow the lawn at the same time?
The heck?

I don't think it would be allowed to be called a lawn mower if it didn't, so I'd assume so. Pretty efficient at that speed as well if you have a big lawn.

Alright
Alrighty.... Now.. Then...
There we go. Both "Raspberry Pi OS's" installed.
I hate that they "changed the name" of Raspbian.
It was a cool name but one that required new users to know what it was called. As a kit that's often a starter kit, it's best not to have to explain what debian is before you even get to installing an OS
T-40 minutes until the SpaceX launch
Also, hi, I'm Tim and I just joined this discord.
I run a weekly assetto corsa server. We drink AND race...at the same time. The Honda lawn mower does NOT meet our qualifications. lol
drink and race?
Yes. You must have drank two adult beverages before you qualify for the race. Our track selections includes a long straight so that racers may continue to enjoy beverages while driving.
That sounds like a really stupid thing to promote/require
Well, it's not exactly a requirement, we do have racers who do not drink for reasons. Plus, the only way to verify is by the honor system...and since were all in different places....
heh
I imagine by "must have", @TEN8TP meant in a social context
It's super fun, IMO. It's not super serious and we do race things like stair trucks, recliners, among ordinary cars.
Does the car disappear when not present?

What did you use for that BabaYaga? I got so frustrated with mine trying to get the overlapping lights to work properly

Everything is flat if you have a big enough hydraulic press

John Malkovich is probably one of my favourite actors ever
that loss of signal happens on almost every drone ship landing
it actually came back faster than usual
it's a satellite uplink and the rocket engine causes the ship to vibrate enough that the satellite has a hard time staying locked on
Clearly they need to move the uplink to another ship ๐

Columbus citywide curfew in order.
@last plaza no i was joking but would be nice ...but i prolly would get pissed ..prolly 50 cent donation LOL
yea that shit is crazy ... glad i dont live near a big city
That new tractor would be at least $30k for sure!
yep
@orchid rose I did use floorplanner https://floorplanner.com/
Floorplanner is the easiest way to create floor plans. Using our free online editor you can make 2D blueprints and 3D (interior) images within minutes.
and a litle bit of work
Same for me. It's pretty good but the overlap made me rage
@last plaza that's interesting, why is that visible to non-mods??

Heh. Anyone here use an Orange Pi Zero (LTS?) Mostly curious, if you have to actually set them up using a TTL USB Serial Adapter, as I've seen in at least one video about them.
LA? What is up with this country? Riots in one of my friend's cities, burning of places down and all.... Looters in LA...
Well, I consider any "protester" to be setting fires and causing literal fighting riots, not to be "just protesters", they are problems.
like looters being problems.
Hmmm, now I need to find me a network cable, or... make one.
Looting is praxis
Martial Law is coming
I can smell it
If the trend continues its only a matter of time before guns with real bullets (instead of rubber) come out
There we go. Temporary RPI3B monitor.sh in place, monitoring bluetooth, constantly. LOL
I started out with monitor.sh then moved over to room assistant. Good stuff
Room Assistant?
One thing this thing is incorrect about for monitor.sh is, you do NOT have to pair bluetooth, at all.
that's true of BT LE in general
and why it's often used as a way to discover a device before setting up wifi, or whatever
I have my HASS /currently/ running on an old laptop now.
@undone aspen
How did you configure?
Configure?
If you know the exact MAC of the device you can scan directly for it.
Trying to do so otherwise may lead to masquerade results

Any devs willing to help me integrate a new climate platform (Mitsubishi central controllers) that I am writing (mostly done) a python library for?
That'd be a thing to ask about in the dev channels ๐
Okay, thank you, I just know they get bothered by noise there though, figured canโt hurt to ask here
Well, odds of finding a dev here are low ๐
@ivory jewel you could also look at the integration I have forked for Samsung pumps after the maintainer vanished
What's the current solution du jour for power monitoring? Ideally it would be non invasive and support at least 4 clip on inductive sensors.

thanks @clear ferry though I think my implementation should be simpler, given that I am already handling all the communication and capabilities in the library.
@clear ferry when I was in Telstra
Whenever a business customer needed a connection in the exchange
The techs would run a sc duplex port to port for every connection adhoc
Single mode duplex off the reel, then cut a patch cable in half and splice that on each end
Does that sound normal And sane
what the fuck
So they would have to crawl through the cable trays for every connection
All overhead

Anyone using a DIY wind sensor ?

was for something like this https://i.pinimg.com/originals/dc/5f/c6/dc5fc63fd3a5882c53824620b03c7bf5.jpg
I had the weird and wonderful idea a while back to whack a servo in one of those and have it indoors taking in weather data and simulating what it would do if it were outside.

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?
Well, it makes no difference to managing Plex where you run it
โ๏ธ not sure you can run plex inside HA as you stated.
I think we have another supervised user
Add-ons, integrations, other things, it's a common source of chaos
@clever mortar, but from a resource perspective, having Plex inside the same Dockerfile as HA, does that minimize overlap of resources?
Same dockerfile would break the conventions of docker
If you're running it on the same computer, it doesn't really matter whether that's in Docker, an add-on, or otherwise
Got it.. thanks.
you could use docker-compose, and run it in different containers and make them dependent on each other if you'd like to manage it that way.
any plex users here?
I use plex at least
None
Is the best way to remove a 0402 capacitor to use airgun or unhuman steady hands with a solder iron?
Axe
im almost at that point
I've tried emby and plex, and find emby is better, what makes people choice plex?
Feature, watch database migration, lifetime membership, shit just works @limpid wind
๐คข plex chat
@limpid wind because I prefer the plex UI
watching the videos of the protestors from last night get tear gassed and maced has made me lol this morning
I think it's been mostly millennials during the day and gen z at night and holy hell gen z kids do not know how to fist fight lmao lol
Fair enough after switching recently I've been scratching my head thinking how is Plex better? Thought maybe it was because people have not tried emby or something
Only non ui thing I've noticed in some instances Plex has more support on some platforms
I think they are about equal if you compare the video part of them
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?
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.
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
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
Defo
atxbyea ๐คข
Mouse navigation? Wtf
I used kodi when htpc was theh cool theng to have
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 
Pictures from Google images?
the web ui is ok enough. the appletv ui is much worse
It looks like a shitty airplane infotainment system tbh
the WAF did not approve. denied, no appeal
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
yay websockets....
we can have a motioneye vs blue iris too :p
and lets put an apple vs android too while we are at it
hehe
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?
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
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
on web ui or a media player?
Both
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 now
@clear ferry never gonna use that :p
How much content you guys doing?
maybe 20TB
I never delete anything 
but started using plex cleaner now to delete
with gbit internet I see no need to hoard old things
I put mine on a SSD for overkillness
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
@forest edge this room clearly states no politics, does it not?
I have everything in spinning drives , even with 4 consecutive users and transcoding I never have issues
why dont you just run the tmp into ram. no need to spin up drives all the time
I was balling at time and wanted/ assumed it be quieter and use less power (minimal I know)
cant see the cost benefits in the ssd
of course m2 as cache
but not as long term storage
sounds like I need to dig through your trash to find some good gear
money is my limit
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
@patent whale why are you asking me?
Hmmmm.... room-assistant is looking to be quite nice, so far.
Although, running it as the 'pi' user was failing because of hcitool permission issues.
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
@clear ferry I dont limit it, just how unraid operate with a cache, then it moves stuff once a day
Unraid ๐คข
@clear ferry regarding user permissions I totally agree, but good for a nas
@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
its ok to discuss current events without getting political
Freenas uses 80GB right now just for access cache
teh amount of damage done to LA is insane overnight
@shy comet i saw that, chicago got it good too
I guess unraid can do ram cache, but I got a bunch of m2 and they are fast enough to cache what I need
agreed, discussing current events is fine but as soon as it switches to a political discussion it's ๐ข
@shy comet I did predict a civil war in 2020, let's see if I'm clairvoyant 
lol
as in @scenic radish gets the ๐ข

๐ข ๐ช
In that case, it was nice while it lasted.
I didn't join a home asssistant server to hear chat about how funny you think police tear gassing people who have had enough of police brutality and then to be told that it's totally not political.
Happy automating.
๐
DMs open to anyone with recommendations for servers where we talk about the topics at hand
@patent whale I guess it was quite clear about not discuss too political 5 minutes ago
so I dont think it would be too political
I feel most people in here is adult enough to disagree on even serious topics
we have to understand that a lot of us have differnet points of view on things and as long as we remain respectful about that it should be ok....like we talk about covid here and some people have differing opinions and we learn to respect that
I've been watching the SpaceX livestream for most of the day, maaaaaan that's a lot of waiting, I could never be up there ๐ด

it was just the first stage that landed, the second was not, right?

news is a bit difficult to watch from all the looting last night....literally saw a group of people stealing an atm and throwing it in the back of a truck and someone also was running down the street with a clothing rack lol

lots of places i used go near
dude that crew pit looked so slick!
just the 3 screens
blinks, at the ATM and clothing rack.
the space shuttle cockpit is absolutely absurd
got the curfew text last night...was 1/2 thinking they may extend it
i loved watching shuttle launches but man that vehicle was a nightmare
Sheash, curfew..... Over people protesting turning riot/criminal.
Muricah is no longer Muricah! :/
in LA there are a lot of opportuntistic people out here unfortunately
they take advantage
That.... Is not opportunistic. That's just simply criminal.
thast waht i meant
There's a huge difference. ๐
@last plaza GA has been doing that for about 5 years now
suprised the 2020 shuttle didn't just have a single button that said "push to do stuff"

they have to do something to offset the lack of revenue from fuel taxes, but I don't think it's the right way to do it
Surprised there's no ludicrous mode
Well, room-assistant seems to be running VERY well, on the P0W, without a single issue, so far. Reliable, fast, and consistent, even without a dedicated Bluetooth adater.

27000 .km2m
that whole event felt pretty historic
it was cause of who built the shuttle
yea private company, first human launch with a returning rocket
i wonder how they will work to improve the design
i'll be dead before they do paid passenger trips
i wonder how long itll be until we dont have to detach stuff to launch
@shy comet it'll never happen
Who was it that mentioned Room Assistant yesterday? ๐
dragging extra weight around "just because" doesn't make sense
well in space weight is nothing
if anything it will be launch from plane
just the shuttle boosting itself into orbit

Soo... anyone else spend their night loading guns?
@brazen fable uh.. yea like i do every night as my pre-sleep routine. why you ask?
lmao
Well, depends too, are you loading 45mm, .50 BMG, 30mm, or something larger
i loaded about 50 5.56 mags last night
And 9 different pistols i usually keep locked up
I load a single round.... ||in my Schwerer Gustav||
You jest but I actually do have a tank.
Non-functional, for now. It's a collectors item
well just don't go postal like that guy who welded steel plates and tankified a bulldozer and drovve it through buildings in town
@brazen fable turn it into killdozer.
@undone aspen what is your room assistant setup?
Initial development stages. Tinkering.
I mean if its running awesome, i'm curious to know what you're doing XD
I have an RPi4 and RPI3B in my office, a P0W in my bedroom, RPI3B in my living room, and I'm setting up one more P0W for the... kitchen? heh
It's not running, just tinkering, and seeing if it can do stuff within my expectations, reliably.
So far, on a P0W, it's WAY more reliable than monitor.sh ever was.
what is a P0W
PI Zero W
I have an Apple Watch, and my girlfriend has a Fitbit (also has bluetooth)
also I use a galaxy watch
Heh, there's my pi1
Bit slow to boot, these P0W's. ๐
Well, here's rpi-1 (living room). LOL
Development. ๐
I have ... 6 Pi3's, two Zeros, and an Orange Pi Zero
And probably an original one in a drawer if I can find it
RPi-1: Living Room, RPi-2: Office, RPi-4: Office (And RPI4B 4GB), 3 P0W's 1 in a devel breadboard case....
Two Orange Pi Zero's coming from China.
heh
@clever mortar Ever looked at room-assistant?
I have, but honestly, I have zero interest in working out where people left a device ๐
Hah
Nobody in this house is glued to their phone/tablet/whatever
I have one raspberry pi 2 I used for pi hole a long time ago but since is collecting dust
I'm looking at it as a viable possible alternative to monitor.sh, which seems to run reliably (so far) on a P0W, which monitor.sh could not do.
I run everything on virtual machines.
And self clusters itself automatically.
That said, hmmm... my RPI-1 now is showing invalid device, network is down. So, hmmm...
Ahh, hcitool is failing, maybe need to tell it to use hci1 instead of hci0
Or, stop monitor.sh while I test this. LOL
You should probably not use static device IDs
For some reason hci0 isn't coming up on the rpi-1 (RPi3B recently received)
Cameras with local face detection and ha
I don't like to wear my watch at home either that's the problem with room detection, I do usually have my phone with me though around the house.
Room detention solved
I wear my watch all around, from the time I wake, to the time I go to bed. Sometimes, in specific situations, I take it off, like to shower, to work on the yard, etc.
@rain swift same. I can't stand wearing my watch at home
i'd go nuts, can't stand having a watch on all the time lol
I like it because i get my alerts incognito at the office
same
Same
but other than that i dont really use it.
I love not having to look at the phone
the only thing I use my watch for is notifications.
Since I WFH last two months it's been sitting on my desk
You people remove your watches when you come home?
I'd need a lanyard for room detection haha
Wow.
Mine stays on for 35 days straight usually
I just moved my cell phone to the living room, and before I even got back to my office, the state of it was in the Living Room.
Well my battery life does not last that long lol
Man I miss my pebble TBH
Rip pebble
Pebble was a fairly nice one.
My galaxy watch lasts 3-4 days with all the goodies on
@brisk glen apple watch you say, 12 hour battery life you say
I was a Pebble kickstarter.
I never got the steel or color.
Amazfit bip replaced my pebble nicely
i think i still have the steel in my drawer
I was going to buy the time
I had to replace my original kickstarter edition with a replacement, three times though, because the assembly was just horrible.
With that color eink
i actually love my galaxy watch
it's a fantastic device. I tried some android watches but they just.. sucked
Wife loves her galaxy, I could never have anything with less than a month battery life
Again
Thereโs a reason why I keep a watch charger in my car now....
I some times forget to charge mine :/
Wtf
all i ever had to do is charge my watch when i showered
That is a useless watch tbh
by time i shit showered shaved and got dressed it was topped off
Yah well... I need to get a new watch
Yeah the amazfit goes to 100% in an hour
The battery life sucks vs the newer versions
So I charge it for one hour, every month or so
the amazfit looks like doodoo
Nice. Moved my cell from the living room, past the office to the bedroom, it followed with Office, then Bedroom, and now it sits at bedroom.
This... Is pretty cool, actually.
There is a newer one, that looks like a watch I think
i dont mind my mi band
With 50 days
galaxy watch looks like a normal watch if you get a normal band for it
Pick the right face and nobody can really tell it's a smart watch.
Once I get the pi1 p0w updated, and installed with room-assistant, I'll put that in the kitchen, and see. ๐
Although of course i usually use a GoldenEye64 face 
Amazfit gtr was the one I was thinking of, but only 24 days battery life
i owned a ticwatch pro for a years, had to return it because i never managed to wear it more than 10mn without skin burn and rash ... :( it the only watch i know who had all the feature i wanted
Man that looks nice @clear ferry
It does, I might upgrade
$70 for a blip

Yeah, that is nice too
Still not out yet but itโs coming close to replacing my Apple Watch
I had a android smartwatch for a year, but the speaker and mic and touch screen is just gimmicks really
I need it for notifications
I really wanted to love the android smart watch but until they get new hardware it's just shit
Constant lag on outdated hardware
Would have to see how well it Works with iOS
Heh yeah.
That's a big one there.
The Pebble was crap for iOS, but great with Android.
๐ฆ
Amazfit are supposedly good with iOS
As long as it works with sms, phone calls and notifications, I might get it over the series 5
Supports HealthKit syncing so itโs golden there
Unlike Fitbit
See SMS is one of the factors that Pebble could not do, because that's closed access on iOS.
That MIGHT be changing with integration support now.
Never worked for me, and they said it wouldn't either. )_
Android something race
weird the NY police vans look like the ones you would see in movies in like london or something
Come now @clever mortar Fusha master race!

@clever mortar what do you mean, iOS is a great open operating system,that encourages development and easy integration

ORA-07445
Heh, just think, @brisk glen , at least if you have a newer generation anyway, you can make & take phone calls, and be like Dick Tracey, with just your watch. Most watches can't do that. ๐
lol dick tracy
hehe
I did that with my android watch 6 years ago
half this room never heard of that name before
It's gimmick and no practical use
I do it all the time,a ctually.
I heard Oracle?
time to blackmail some coins out of firms

Got here a "brand new" huawei Watch 2 lte laying around - just not worth the trouble to charge ๐
Wanna hear something even worse, had a customer get called by Oracle licensing division,because some customers of his logged onto his WiFi with the virtual box extension pack installed

I annoyed by it/. :/
It tries to edit your last post
I feel/ that.
Doesn't work on mobile though โน๏ธ

BLAH!
Cool, but, still. ๐
waits for room-assistant stuff to finish compiling.
Lol
Anything, on a P0W... Slow...
And one wonder why I block oracleโs servers with network wide blocking
So, in the midst of getting room-assistant running, there's already been several additions, apparently, requiring more -dev packages, since the first instance I installed earlier today.
@brisk glen and you dare, living in a country where you could actually be sued for that
Brb Norway,where our ISPs just say fuck off to mpaa 
@clear ferry adblocking / tracker blocker
another curfew in LA tonight
Ops it fell under my tracker blocker
@shy comet now if they could only act like that in a decent time during CoVid19 implosion
Probably not 
yea i dont think so either
wonder if it gonna get cray cray tonight
wish the mods on reddit hadn't removved the one video where it showed these two gen z kids acting like they knew how to fist fight.

Thankfully I've got about 30 miles buffer from the closest riots
@clear ferry rather get stoned
My family not so much. My brother might be coming to stay over
there's a protest getting organized in my city tonight, thankfully i'm pretty far from downtown
i'm in the burbs, no commercial buildings around with windows to break so i'm safe
the rioting has made it near me ๐ฌ
define far. Here in chicago they've started coming out to the burbs
there are tweets/snaps telling looters to hit the burbs "where the whites live"
@scenic radish may your woman cast the first stone towards your condo window
Suburban cops aren't playing around though. They're chasing them down and locking them up
Hell, MY city is already doing protesting, but remaining peacefully.
@scenic radish if they try to roit near me it will not last long promise ya
Is that because you've got a GAU-8/A in the shed ๐
Nothing is near you anyway @dull chasm
Kinda silly to protest about violence, when you're violent about it.
hehe
their is at least one flag per mile LOL
little insensitive @undone aspen
@clear ferry true
Not at all.
the "i mean. i can't breath!" comment i mean
Every American has the right to protest. Once protesting becomes violence, however, it's no longer protesting, but violence.
@clever mortar yes and a few other surprises
I wanna protest the protestors for protesting
Well, we're in danger of stepping off of the BE CIVIL part folks... please can we keep it in the lines
@scenic radish dont go snowflake on us
mod on mod
nothing "snowflake" about it
fight
heh
sure it will be much calmer tonight
it is sunday night after all.. everyone vegitates on sundays
Well, now I have 450ft of metal fishing wire., and 12V AA Battery packs, now all I need is the stepper motor module.
I wish discord would just allow you to use all emojis regardless without needing the nitro crap
like plex in the very begining you could have bought a lifetime thing of nitro
You can still buy lifetime plex
oh i thought they did away with that in plex?
No, it's just 4x the price now I think
I paid $40 or something for lifetime many years ago
I got mine like a year ago maybe 2 on a black friday sale for $80
Last time I checked it's well over 130 now
$119.99USD
i was wrong, but close
the funny thing is, when discord very first came out thier whole marketing was around not needing to pay for anything with all the benifits etc
Love this show https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7752034/
didn't take long before they started this nitro crap
They have to monetize it somehow
@clear ferry sounds like a good way to get food poisoning

lmao ok the livve streams of the LA news station showed 3 guys trying to pick up a metal trash can to break a store window but it was too heavy for them to do it so they gave up and walked away
3 guys.. talk about weak lol
meh, not worth hurting your back over.
grabs a sledge hammer. "But, can I hurt your back instead?" he grins.
Half price today! ๐
hi is anyone here running lutron rr2
Hmmm, bumpy cluster election system this room-assistant has.
Hey brethren, I'm pretty new on this discord and wondered what those Jedi/Padawan tags on certain users stand for?
Are you familiar with Star Wars?
More or less
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.
The Jedi role (blue) is given to our community members who have proven themselves knowledgable and worthy of helping others. Please do not request to be assigned this role. It must be earned.
Hmmmm... room-assistant's cluster election process is.... Not very reliable it seems. LOL
Padawans get nervous when anyone named Anakin shows up
renames himself....
Ok, thanks a lot!
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?
'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.
@static schooner this is what I was referring to
look at those troll emoji's tisk tisk
Alright, update: borderlands 3 is fun but not nearly as good as 2 or 1
2 set a very high bar that will be hard to reach again
But 3 is giving me the shooter-looter action I C R A V E after BL2
Yeah, I forgot that you have to do that, too. Like I said, a right-click, select "hide" would be a lot more intuitive
Agreed. Feature request!
is that a borderland
Whatโs a borderland
๐คฃ
Is that something to do with the wall?
#NoPoliticsInLounge
Can't argue too much with the Room Assistant actual results, so far, though. It's definitely tracking me through the house, so far. ๐
hehe
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.
@scenic radish idea of a good shooter game https://i.giphy.com/5xaOcLu2P8qm6jx1RRK.gif
Ouch!
I don't even know what that is lol
is that a borderland
@ocean mirage actually lol'd at that
I think I bought one of the games to play with my partner but we never did
It's really fun
My favorite. Though I've only really played it solo
I have about... 720 hours of gameplay in borderlands 2
Whelp
Not sure how many in BL1 because stat tracking didn't exist back then on Xbox
What do you use for room assistant
Probably 300-400 hours
As in the personel device
That be Psi-Jack
Tediore it's time to grow up and play games on PC.. donate your console to an 8 year old in need.
@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.
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
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
Yeah I suppose there still would be a significant RSSI difference
Brothel mode engage

Trying to guage interest:
If I would manufacture switches and outlets preloaded with tasmota, would people be interested in them?
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
US
Apparently these things were only $100 usd which is much better value
Still kinda a waste of space,
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
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.
Wonderful, a bag if moisture absorption granules had melted in some chemical reaction in my garage, and dripped down on my workbench

@undone aspen people who remove their watches 
I used to think I care about that. But then I took my watch off every night and put it on the wireless charger base, and..... Thought it was the best thing since sliced bread with butter.
My wrist gets to breath, every night. ๐
Hmmmm.... Toothpaste can buff out little scratches in glass? 
Hmmm..
Heh. I might have to try that. Couple little scratches on my Apple Watch screen, that bugs me.

@undone aspen do you have to type everything that you are working on? Not sure if you are asking for reaction or response or help.
someone aware of a nice tiny case or barebone like the ASRock DeskMini A300 where also a 3.5" hdd fits in?
@hearty depot @hushed basalt loves all things small

"Tiny" and 3.5" drives usually don't go hand in hand
so true
Just go for 5.1/4 drives while you are at it
Just super glue the drive outside the case ๐
