Its pretty funny, I enjoy it. Its on cbs all access. The latest episode has a clipy refernce
haha nice
i bet trekkies are shitting a brick ovver that lol
love tawny newsome. that was the only thing making me interested in an animated star trek show
Yea. Definitely a lot better than The Animated Series from the 70s.
And i think that its next week John Delance makes a guest spot as Q
@flat fossil nice avatar btw
i think there is a problem on the rc website
there is written 0.115.0 Released: September 17, 2020
shoundn't it then be release date: September 17,2020
they write in the future
If you keep scrolling, youβll find when 1.0 will be released.
Home Assistant Pi case design
Nice!
yeah i could put an led on the gpio pins with a resistor
Gentle blue glow, gently burning the logo into the ceiling π
gently disrupting your circadian rhythm
The shape of the house was engraved, maybe should have made some cuts there too
I woulnd not add paint to it
lol like those blue night lights where the whole square glows, not sure what kind of light that is
I've only ever seen green ones
they use to be blue
edgelit smoked plexi would be cool
the sonoff brf bridge uses it to light the logo in green lol
but would also defeat the purpose of the speed holes
i can share the design if anyone wants it, it was made in inkscape (open source)
The forum would be a great place to post about it π
What is MQTT actually used for, in the context of Home Assistant? I see it brought up a lot, but I'm not sure what uses it.
Connecting things and HA
It's a communication protocol
just think if this was a year ago and that was an rpi4 in that case many would make the remark of it being a fire hazard
Here , try this:
http://letmegooglethat.com/?q=MQTT+basics
You can receive and send data to ESP8266 boards for example
I know what MQTT is, I just don't understand why it's imp--ah, okay, so 'smart' functions to individual devices rather than services
Thanks!
in my day we just used tin cans linked together with a string
Still effective π€£
Tin can and string only supports WEP though :p
well it did have it's limitations
I use MQTT for bluetooth tracking (monitor) and Zigbee (zigbee2MQTT)
Looks good to me Ricardo. Maybe just darken it a bit and light up the logo as other suggested
Morning all, I have what I hope is a quick one. My Home Assistant (Docker container) seems to have lost all access to the internet. Nabu Casa cant connect, nor can any cloud polling integrations. But the host the container is on and other containers on this machine are just fine. This worked fine for weeks and just this morning stopped working. Any Obvious things I should check first?
Is your port forward on your router still intact? I presume you can still connect from within the LAN, so docker network connectivity should be good
I dont have any port fowarding set up.
I don't have it exposed.
Pretty sure it's related to DNS... so I'll keep digging
bash-5.0# ping nabucasa.com
ping: bad address 'nabucasa.com'
bash-5.0# dig !$
dig nabucasa.com
; <<>> DiG 9.14.12 <<>> nabucasa.com
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
bash-5.0#```
Yea... It must be DNS
Oh yeah, that was the semi-related issue that I ran into overnight, though if you're not allowing remote access (need it for ST in my case until I get transitioned over to deconz), I migrated my domain to cloudflare dns hosting and the way they're proxying was managing to break everything
DNS lookups being broken probably can't help either π
yea... the weird part is the host OS can ping external just fine. it's just the container having issues. π€
Yea.. this is internal
Somethings up with my internal DNS Thanks for letting me vent it π
My Pihole died.
I have 2 for redundancy... and most of my network used the secondary. but for some reason Home Assistant wants to use the primary.
ah.... felt great to finally leave the Homebridge discord lol
finally fully migrated over
I almost started setting up homebridge tonight but realized that I could route deconz through assistant to google assistant rather than messing around with that π
now if only I could figure out this whole emulated hue sync thing
#integrations-archived could help, possibly, if anybody else uses it π
I tried over there a few times but sadly no luck
Try the forum, or reddit, different audiences
Hey all, is this a good place to ask general HVAC stuff? Trying to figure out why I can't get my system to run in fan only mode.
I have a pretty dumb system atm, meaning standard equipment. I don't have any automation integrated yet.
If you have no luck here, Google says there's an actual HVAC Discord
I'm basically stuck at trying to determine if my system is designed to not enable fan only, or if there is a problem with it instead. It's a forced air gas furnace.
I'll search that out, thanks @clever mortar
Srsly appreciate it. Didn't occur to me that the internet has a spot for everything :)
So frustrated rn!
Got a smart device I can't flash, what's a good way to separate it from the regular network? I'm not sure how to do VLAN on a generic ISP-given router.
Mobile phone hotspot?
Won't that connect to the same LAN?
Maybe I could force this device by mac address through a PiHole container
I only have a home server, a few switches, and a generic ISP router, so no secondary router for VLAN afaik
If you create a hotspot on a mobile device, its WiFi is used for said hotspot - you're no longer connected to your home router. If the intention is to prevent another device connecting to the internet, simply turn off your mobile data on the phone.
My hope is to allow it to connect to the internet, but not read from other devices on the LAN. I might be able to do that with a phone hotspot and mobile data, but it's a vacuum so it'd take like 10gb of bandwidth. And being Canadian, data doesn't come cheap
Replace the router with one that can VLAN, or provides guest wifi
Is guest wifi essentially VLAN? And would I be able to allow specific ports between the two to allow for Home Assistant to run on the main LAN?
It's typically a segregated network that can't communicate with the main network
then again if the isp router does not allow to set custom firewall rules you can probably not allow stuff from there to connect to something from the main network
so as already suggested get a proper router
Oof the way to get a token for an Xiaomi device is complicated
ok ... you gonna get denons new flagship 13.2 avr 110 anniversary for $5500 @tidal bronze too
Thinking about it, if yamaha is going to skip this year.
they prolly are .....and i dont blame them ....too much in the air right now
be good at one thing or half ass at all
Planning to drive all speakers using class D anyway. Dedicated 200W drivers all around.
taking a step back ....thats what we used to do for quadfonic
None of the AVRs are rated all channels driven, with icepower so cheap no reason to hold back.
of course not .... you would need seperates with a preamp
Going to try without the preamp, since Class D sampling supports 1V pp
ok good luck .....but a waste of amps
Will finish the build soon. Thank you. Going to drive everything bi amp as well.
now thats awesome .... biamp only makes a small diff but when it does .....it is mind blowing when a cymbal and bass hits at the same time
Fronts are bi but going to drive the rest bi as well.
2 x 200W around $290 going DIY.
per channel
Yes.
i bet harmonics is gonna kill ya
effects of a amp
Harmonics are unwanted higher frequencies which superimposed on the fundamental waveform creating a distorted wave pattern. In an AC circuit, a resistance behaves in exactly the same way as it does in a DC circuit. That is, the current flowing through the resistance is proportional to the voltage across it.
that is china .... we are boycotting them
They are all D mono blocks π
ok so they are not bi blocks ? π€
Individual blocks driving each coil sir.
i understand
Plus D is nothing similar to A/B
but you cant remove THD at that price point
You are wrong π
or keep below 10%
well i know your arse is obsessed like me so i will trust you as gueania pig
0.2 THD, 100dBA 80% efficiency π
looks good except efciency ....
and i just said 10 percent and you quote 20 ..... π€£
What do you mean 20? You got your THD twisted. Lol
Thats fine. 0.2% is not 20% π
I will measure THD before and after anyway compared to 3080 output stage.
my old school math might be wrong but i still love ya @tidal bronze
Lowes calc huh. Love ya too man
lol that was just a ad
@dull chasm 3080 @ 150W THD 90mW. Icepower @200W 400mW distortion π
thats a huge diff
LMAO
Ok sir. I doubt you barely break 70W on the 3080 driving 9
150W is only 2 channels driven.
true and i agree ..... but with those numbers on ice ....woofer would shimmer with thd
Solid 100 x 11 is plenty. Not anything near clipping.
no clipping i agree but woofer resonence would be noticable
Some are saying better than Classe amps on low end performance.
And D is the future. So let's see.
well you got the money to play but shit i remember when carver was struggling to get second decimal place on thd on mono amps
thats what made 901's so popluar because of the size of woofer did not shimmer and distort
You two need to stop jabbering on and start drinking π€£
if we lived close @tidal bronze it would not be good
@green inlet i have been drinking what are you talking about
are you not entertained by our expliocts
@green inlet come on now 3rd angry orchard here.
SWEET
if we lived close @tidal bronze it would not be good
@dull chasm nopes would be deadly and homeless
Just Messing. I have no idea what you are talking about. Always seems like you are trying to get that 1% better
@tidal bronze it seems that if we start talking audio everybody shuts up
By the time you get it perfect, you will be old like me and wonβt be able to tell the difference
@green inlet sad when there's nothing to do with HA so gotta do something over the weekend.
I hear ya.
Its such a bore when HA runs on its own for months.
The new beta seems jammed packed
Hmmm don't know whether it will be anything that would change in my setup.
Yea, thatβs how I am. Everything moving to UI and I still chugging along with yaml
I've just been optimizing my existing automations
Don't use the UI for anything other than testing. Removed all TTS as well. Only thing I hear is custom edited telegram notification sounds for gates and garage doors. Even that's too much. Lol
The picture upload will be nice. And you can browse you library now.
wondering what the hell I was thinking a year ago π
I know my automations are bloated. But they work so I donβt really care.
Not like fox is interviewing me about them π€£
Same here. Most of mine are few years old. If it works it works.
I am more excited on frigate development than anything else.
Only crap like this bothers me. π€£
Is that facial/object detection?
Got like 20 person detected notification for a damn helium balloon. Yes real-time detection.
I have wanted to do that but donβt feel it is really up to speed yet. I want facial recognition not object detection
Gave up on face recognition, not there yet. But I moved away from motion to person detection and been very happy except the rare random false positives.
Ohh, that usb accelerator looks cool
I am running 2 of those. Very cool indeed.
@tidal bronze thats cali is so happy and cheerfull they sent you a baloon and will tax ya 45%
Birthday wishes for my wife.
Ok, I just stopped in to say hi. I am going to slap my wifeβs ass and see what pans out. Wish me luck π€£
Lmao. Right on good luck and nice knowing ya
Got like 20 person detected notification for a damn helium balloon. Yes real-time detection.
@tidal bronze working as intended
@tidal bronze working as intended
@forest edge how come ? Unless the delivery person was more baloony than the birthday baloon.
Seems like the new IFTTTTT monthly fee might send a lot of people towards HA
@tidal bronze two californians seen eating side by side https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiphy.com%2Fexplore%2Fhealthy-eating&psig=AOvVaw0YM_uIVrErbk6mx9zm8dKS&ust=1599962029776000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqGAoTCJD9w5nB4usCFQAAAAAdAAAAABCnAQ
See, perfect π
nah @forest edge and ATX?
How do I report a malicious user to a mod?
Send a screenshot to me, or post it here
Tinkerer got it, appreciate y'all
For anybody else, include their Discord handle in the PM and it's quick and easy for us to ban them
Sadly, it's Crypto Spam day again
indeed
Fyi I just got a spam message from someone in this server
Same here. Different guy tho.
They are gone @river rune , but as @clever mortar said:
For anybody else, include their Discord handle in the PM and it's quick and easy for us to ban them
Decoding handles from images takes time π
maxiiottep#9229
ID: 746243384611438663
It's the first part that matters for banning
Their ID, ironically, isn't helpful for banning, only for reporting to Discord (which you can do for the DM)
π€·ββοΈ I find banning with ID is easier
But I generally just use my bot for banning and just pass it the ID and it takes care of the rest
And now you now what's easier here π
Yep
ATTENTION
For anyone not beeing able to post on this server, the moderation level on this server has temporary been set to hgih to help tackle the current wave of PM bots.
When things calms down it will be lowered again.
gone
@light trout
gone
Auto spambot kick vote bot? Name the bot after x thumbs up auto removal?
Remember folks when reporting spam, include a screenshot of the spam and the user's handle (eg @spammer#123)
No scam DMs for me. I feel left out
I would say add also screen to prevent disliked people kicks or something
Yeah.
Yup, screenshots please so we don't ban you by mistake π
Good idea, who don't I like π€
me
But then again this ainβt a pvp game discord
Sneaky!
Sadly a lot of them are spamming and leaving
These bitcoin scams are surprisingly effective
How do they work
Errr nope donβt
Send out a million spams and some poor guy will believe you. That's it
use ID ^
Login to a discord, get users, spam people who have allow dms from people who are on same server, done
But the accounts are also stolen too
So anything they are subbed to get targeting
same message as @valid halo already deleted it
but the user seems to be gone from the server already
@robust arch I get a lot of DMs from people in this channel and often they are insightful things that they don't want to discuss in public
also disabled dms in the meanwhile
746244645570347039
Good work mods. π
I always thought id was easier to ban by
It's not
they want proof init
We're all learning today.
To report a spambot please put a mention and a screenshot with the spam (to make sure only spammers get the boot)
@light trout for you to copy paste and pin π
screenshots can be spoofed btw
Sure
ugh i wish i could turn this off automatically for every server i enter
I take it i missed some fun?
not manually lol
I'm not sure what the best method is but I am just noting that
True
Spambots be spamming sonoma
Best method is not having discord at all π
Sure but what if a hot single in my area tries to DM me?!
I would be silly to disable DMs in that case!
Have her DM using MQTT and Z wave
Best method is 42 π
weird thing is, they seem to only enter channels with x amount of poeple
If only
All I won is insomnia
I mean it could be real. There is a .0000000000000000000000000000001% chance, would you want to miss out?

I mean it could be real. There is a .0000000000000000000000000000001% chance, would you want to miss out?
@rare condor that chance is too big, cause 0% chance its real
fark. how loud is your DM notifications
If it's real. I'll take my Raspi out on a dinner date
It's nice to find out what servers I forgot to turn direct messages off for lol
Shame. So many evil robots
If it's real. I'll take my Raspi out on a dinner date
@valid halo donβt give it any raspberry cheesecake or something, that would be cruel
Tag the bot! For faster removal
Is the phone verification a temp measure, anyway to limit it to DMs. I managed to verify my account but its sad the world has spammers ruining communities like this π¦
seems like this channel has pishing bot invasion
Sadly with Discord there's no way to fine tune the verification levels
@midnight adder is spamming too
Yeah I just got the same thing too
There's a discussion going on right now about where the default for this server should be - High or Highest. Clearly Highest wins from a spam killing perspective, but may kill some of the user base
@dusky plank @hazy hinge @twin ledge See the pinned messages
Aka - give us the handle too
I couldn't seem to copy those characters
highest is dumb, verified phone.. i mean come on lol
If you can't copy, we can't type them in π
I honestly would not have joined if it had asked for my phone number when signing up, also been a privacy focused user base I defs think some may not have mobile phones or be put off supplying it. I don't have a solution or am I judging the method but it should be considered.
where do i find the βhandleβ?
yeah, he was gone alrdy
"2 #0363" is the best I get when I copy
Click the user, copy over the handle
"Copy ID"
oh
I went that's a no
an id is often a handle
Is there a way we can report them to discord?
driving me nuts on mobile, cannot copy anything π
You can @hazy hinge but i really doubt it will do anything
Ramadhanltcnsn#9898 is that it?
Any of these accounts stolen i.e. have post history?
I'm about to go through the discord reporting process, wondering if the mods want to know the spam accounts as well
Or are they all new
Worth a shot
I have spot checked a few, and they have no history here at least @rare condor
π

<@&330946878646517761> I am being spammed in PM from @midnight adder. This is the only server I have in common with them.

devil king
#1062 spamming
Ah, OK
Okay I reported the message I got. Hope it works and helps
@rare condor total spammer, uses OpenHAB should be banned for treason!
weird how they like attack at the same time
probably a bot farm
from Tommy6
that escalated quickly
for me, btc is associated with scam now
whenever i see any mention i walk away
π
Just got my nice reminder to disallow messages from people
can i set a filter for my messages? "giveaway" and "bitcoin" please
Ask Discord support
Just got the same spam.
i have such a fan i want to wire to a wall connection
how do i know what is what of the 3 wires
Same with userid 684022081842970638
User ID 746243424050741351 for me.
@languid turret share a screenshot please, we canβt just ban a random user without proof
Should have thought that. Already wiped them from my messages.
Impressive number of accounts set up for this...
automated π
That is why ideally we should only allow verified accounts on our server, but that harms the community as well... (less welcoming, less easy to join the server) so that is a hard balance.
Yeah I've left it off on my server, but I only have a couple dozen people so it hasn't been an issue yet... I feel like these might be getting more frequent though, so some kind of verification might eventually just be a requirement...
@midnight adder you can use any 12v transformer, the yellow wire is usually the pulse to set speed. just needed if you want to regulate speed
1 contains a white stripe which should be according to:
yeah right
so the black wire with white stripe should be ground
and the wire next to it the +12V
those things normally can take some tinkering... won't get damaged if you hook them up wrong
Yeah I've left it off on my server, but I only have a couple dozen people so it hasn't been an issue yet... I feel like these might be getting more frequent though, so some kind of verification might eventually just be a requirement...
@languid turret Yes, Discord steers towards that as well. For example, we can get additional server features if we turn it on. That way Discord tries to get servers to enable it permanently.
those things normally can take some tinkering... won't get damaged if you hook them up wrong
@dusky plank thanks π my dad just asked me so i thought id get the answer here the quickest, thanks lad!

wow free bitcoin?
@flat fossil A cyber-security breach at Home Assistant discord earlier this year was far worse than originally thought, it's been revealed.
The malicious phishing scam was discovered on September 12th, after it targeted hundreds of users with a Bitcoin Scam to obtain personal information.
I can confirm today a staggering 0 customers had their information stolen by hackers.
Announcements are being sent out to the hundreds impacted and forensic specialists (some mods) are continuing their investigation with new Phone Security verification been introduced.
My info was already stolen by China few years ago so whatever
Nice

<@&330946878646517761> this guy is using this server for crypto jacking spam
Not anymore π
For me its
Not a "guy", a good amount of bots
Ban all the bots. Lol
hopefully nobody is falling for this :/
Well probably they are...
I won crypto. Gonna need to steal my mom's credit card to save it.
If spamming wasn't effective, people would stop doing it π¦
Yeah. People are inherently naive.
you'd think the average user on this server would be up to speed on tech enough to ignore it
You'd hope
Users here are probably "fine", but it's not limited to this server
Discord needs a convenient way to report stuff like this so they can ban at a higher level
I doubt it would help, it's all different accounts
Yeah. But if it was convenient, a majority might get reported.
too bad hassbot can't detect spam bots and deal with them. would change it's name to T-1100100000
appreciate yall takin quick action and upping barriers to entry for the spam stuff π
My sister is a recently diagnosed diabetic and is using Nightscout to try and work through some of the ridiculous technology challenges that the manufacturers create.

I need to try one
I thought they were banned, too
Prob in some places @trail crag
Haven't seen it or was not looking for it.
Supposed to be energy drink and alcohol. Like monster and vodka
Nice.
Bought my first box of white claw recently. Another 20 something drink I guess
White claw is so April, go corona seltzer ππ»
@trail crag what's your favorite flavor ?
@green inlet come on now. Whiteclaw is for any day specially for Sunday 11AM blues
Any mods available? I got a Bitcoin scammer from this server trying to scam me...
so far I like the lime
Telling you Corona is better.
I could never find white claw in the grocery store. Now white claw is everywhere and you canβt find corona
Yep. It's all over the place. Although Truly spike is much better.
Is chelada just beer plus lime?
Itβs like a beer Bloody Mary
@tidal bronze I got a Bitcoin scammer from this server trying to scam me. Want the details?

@foggy estuary , check announcements, they are aware of the situation.
Oof. I should make sure I'm on top of my servers a bit more then too @green inlet as I've noticed I've been seeing similar spam and receiving DM's lately
I haven't been here enough to know how much shitposting is tolerated
@green inlet you into single malt as well ?
@foggy estuary screenshot the id and copy his nick
Why would people come here to spam, like its one of the most advanced home automation systems given out for free and you want to ruin it. I honestly see no reason why people would come here to spam
@tidal bronze , naw, I really only do vodka when it comes to liquor.
Lmao....I started drinking it because no carbs. I drink it with water and a water enhancer so I am hydrating while I drink.
ok cool
I donβt mind a good rum but nothing the states have to offer.
@serene mortar @thick crypt FYI, @midnight adder is spamming via PM

Still going to look. That comment is 3 years old.
Come on man that's not possible.
Liquor is weird in NC. The only liquor store in North Carolina is ABC and somehow it is owned by the state.
South Carolina only like 5 miles away though
With 2 extra weeks and the birthday of Home Assistant, I'm a little excited for the next release.

@dull chasm wife and I lived in SK for two years; β€οΈ soju
where about
Seoul first year and Busan the 2nd
i was mostly in daeujon and dauegu ....korea is where is where we jumped from for Middle east and all of orient
@dull chasm switching out all outdoor drivers to class D as well π
I am loving the fast controlled bass, so sharp its unreal.
@green inlet - I forgot you lived in Charlotte. If you ever want some Soju just go eat at Letβs Meat KBBQ or Seoul Food uptown. KBBQ is one of my favorites. JalapeΓ±o Pork Belly π€€

JalapeΓ±o pork belly sounds good ππ»
does this discord feel a lot less...occupied lately?
i used to come and itd be nonstop convos, but doesnt seem like that anymore
Knob creek rye here in va
@fiery vector Yep
OCCUPY DISCORD!
im just curious
@humble pond lol I literally just did that this week
Only place I could find soju in the area
@static schooner puts on tinfoil hat...latest updates make everything more intuitive for users and less people are running into problems? thats all i got
nah we lost some chatty members like atxbyea...who uses far fewer vomit emoji in drzzs discord than he ever did here
Could be. Itβs also summer in much of the world, but weβre also locked down
I'm giving up unifi so. Too much stuff in the house. Any suggestions for a strong router with very good coverage price no issue, but need advanced functions and wifi6
i used to come and itd be nonstop convos, but doesnt seem like that anymore
I've been busy sorry, I'll try to resume normally scheduled banter π
Unifi is not made for coverage. I don't like having ap in every floor and hit and miss firmwares.
Also it's so random eol on unifi it's ridiculous
hm no idea what you mean by that
One unify ap point is not made for coverage in terms of router compared
That's why we run 3-4 ap
In a house
not sure that expectation is realistic. like that the builtin wifi antenna in some consumer router would be better than dedicated accesspoints
That's why it's fair to consider a high end router if it can cover the house. Less used WiFi channels, less equipment, less roaming issues and better for ZigBee
especialy penetrating concrete floors is mostlikely a problem. id always use dedicated accesspoints for each floor
Concrete floors make ap a need I would say
I have wooden construction
No concrete
Can't hurt to try. It's 60 days open buy here so nothing to loose
I actually had better coverage with 3 Google WiFi Vs 3 unifi ap pro.
Though gw is unusable when it comes to functions
interessting
have 4 uap-lite in my house. two on each floor. as i have concrete floors and all inner walls are brick walls
If I go mesh I consider Netgear Orbi AX6000, but high price. 1200usd for a 3 pack
if you have signal penetration problems with wired APs not sure mesh APs will do you any better
or even using other APs. the antennas can only do so much and the output power is usualy regulated in most countries
@wet pilot - Which one? Let's Meat or Seoul Food? Let's Meat is π€
theres often only the option to use more APs
@eternal thistle let's see. I might buy some options and try. Might end up with unifi again. Though my problem with them I can't put them on the roof
@trail crag , i was going to happily stay quiet but you lost a heck of a lot more than Atx.
"we lost some..."
You lost a lot π
And when someone whoβs user name I donβt even recognize notices it. Plenty others are also. Just saying.
You don't recognize Parmalot?
Thatβs your response?
I'm not sure what you're looking for
Just responding to you comment about atx. Not looking for anything but keeping the record straight. A lot of people that helped out on a regular basis donβt help as much.
π€·πΌββοΈ
And a dig on atx and his posts was a cheap shot
It wasn't a dig. I like atx. But it was a ton of disapproval in the form of emoji. I would say more of that than help. Just making an observation.
Not saying anyone is obliged to help either
Well, I am not in the know, so I have no clue, but something happened, cause very good people are ghosts now. And you comment came off as a shot π
I believe it was the removal of custom emoji in that particular case.
But yes, there's more to it...
Ok, if that helps you sleep at night π€£
Thatβs all I needed to hear. Not trying to make waves.
@green inlet dude better get into those soft pj's. Early start tomorrow π
Hello everyone. I got a BroadLink Mini3 and itβs integrated already. My question is there a way to get a butter looking card for it?
I donβt really want to make buttons for each thing either.
Any ideas?
@shrewd oasis looks like there's some custom cards. https://github.com/dimagoltsman/generic-remote-control-card
Ok I will start there.
Another thing, is there a way to string 2 ir codes together
Base64
Like one after the other. The reason is because my ac has a light that I can turn off with a button.
And after it sends the command I would like it to send another one to turn the light off
The light is really the display that shows the temperature
https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/script/ maybe? if theres no builtin feature in thet ir integration
Hey does someone know where I can get support for my custom_component? I asked a few times in the #551864459891703809 channel but I got no answer?
Writing a report, already using AI, SDN, IOT, ML, 5G any other buzzwords I should add?
cloud, agile, architecture
@pure magnet you can ask in #integrations-archived to see if anyone else uses and can answer
@forest edge I wrote the integration myself but I have a development question.
then you can ask in #developers / #devs_os-archived
I tried but with no luck. But thanks. Maybe I stop the development and switch to openhab2 π€£
Thanks
there are also the forums https://community.home-assistant.io/categories
I already asked there: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/custom-input-number-error-unable-to-find-referenced-entities-input-number-pyloxone/224432
Hello Everybody, I have written a component to integrate the Loxone home automation. Everything has worked great so far. But now I have a problem that I canβt solve myself and I need help. I have tried to create an Input Number component in my integration. When I load the co...
@pure magnet I would give it more time while trying to find the answer yourself. the forum post is certainly the better choice for questions like that cause stuff gets lost in the void in discord especially if it's a question only the few know the answer to
Ok I tried it hard but I think I have go deeper into the core development but I think it is hard with the documentaion. There are no real example for all the helpers
I only what to make a Input_number not more. It should not that hard.
nothing is hard after you figure out how to do it lol
@wet pilot you got a rig for that old game?
lol its what everyone had in common this time around
oh you cycle between games with a few friends?
that's how i get stuck playing a few things as well
I see the temperature measurement for the rpi is still borked if you use the unit of measurement while having farenheit set as your default in the system
The Raspberry Pi is grown up now to be a perfect Home Automation Server. Today I show you why and how to set it up conveniently. In the end, you should be able to make an educated decision for your own project.

@forest edge lol enjoying summer weather here.
well stop it! look at my video above, nerds don't see direct sunlight lol
it's actually been rainy and unusually cold around here lately
lol "the sun is shining. nice."
fantastic comment ^^^
It was shining so much I had to come back inside and shower after being outside an hour
It's strange but reassuring to see zigbee mesh networks change on the fly when adding new devices
Migrating from ST and Hue to deconz, my unraid machine running the deconz docker is in a server rack and I suspect that the tiny little USB antenna was having trouble making it all the way across my kitchen to the four lights that I had paired there and nothing inbetween. π
Added the two lights in the room that the server rack lives in and sure enough, kitchen lights working reliably now
And I was starting to worry about investing in some far too expensive lutron no neutral wire switches
how can i pick out the sensor with id 8000001EB0A0 for an MQTT sensor?

See #integrations-archived (and the channel topic here) π
Don't suppose anyone has had enough experience with NFC tags to suggest which type will be compatible with most phones?
Thanks - can you store more than one kind of data on them? Could one tag connect someone to wifi and then take them to a website, for example?
let me try ti
so i wrote a wifi password and a URL (in that order)
every time you tap it it prompts you to connect to wifi
doesn't open the URL
you would need two tags
Ah OK - thanks for trying
I guess it probably wouldn't have worked out anyway, I imagine in practice the delay in connecting to wifi probably would have the second step fail
ahhh a crosspost it would seem
@steel crag Its amazing the time that people put effort into policing.
Me: Question
Person1: Check out channel X, they might be able to help you.
Me: Poses question in the channel X.
You: DoN't CrOsSpOsT
I'm not entirely sure what the point in all that was, but OK man hope you're having a great day
Let me help you since you don't remember yesterday:
Be nice π
Crossposting is frowned on, particularly when people ask in the right place to begin with but don't want to wait for help
Totally understand, but going about it in that way isn't terribly productive.
He could just have dropped the bot on you π
Basically being tied to the channel that you asked the question in doesn't really help the community.
Let me help you since you don't remember yesterday:
I never said I didn't remember, but I'm being nice as Tink and the other mods would like
He could just have dropped the bot on you π
@clever mortar Instead of the sassy comment? Sure.
Asking the same question in multiple channels wastes people's time and effort
@clever mortar I guess it wasted nobody's time since I didn't get any responses π
So, mods, and others, try to steer folks to the relevant channel for any question
if only there was a way to easily move a message to another channel
If only channels had topics, and the server had rules π
so you're policing how I respond, but don't want to be policed on server rules, got it
lol sassy, I been called sassy a few times in my day
I would argue this isn't cross posting. I didn't intentionally send a message in 20 different channels which it sounds like the rule is there to police. I took action in my own interests based upon recommendations from another user.
Same question in two places is cross-posting
I took action in accordance to the rules, but I'm being attacked for it because I'm not a mod
See also #rules
These rules are not to be interpreted how you like, there are no "loopholes."
so there's that
Don't worry, mods get attacked for moderating too π
And we can drop the hammer ... which mostly doesn't happen as folks are smart enough to wind their necks in first
There's too many who seem to double down though π
that's what I was hinting at when I said because I don't have the hammer
π
ooooh look hammers
runs
@tidal bronze the smoke outside is nuts today isnt it?
Not up here much better than yesterday
oh man its way worse here today...you can tell as soon as you walk outside
it looks like fog
presidential alert: the girls are fightingggg
I managed to make something that I think is really cool but the pandemic business means there's been nobody to show it to today π¦
Well, I've been relying on voice control for a while and it's taught me that a lot of people just prefer buttons
So I've been making remotes
The first one was an old nexus 7 and it can pretty much control my PC and everything else in the home
Remote Mark 1
It's on a wireless charging stand on the sofa side table and comes on when you pick it up
But then for the last day or so I built a mark 2 remote
Which is just software - thats why I was after NFC tags - from tomorrow, anyone taps an NFC tag in my living room, it'll take them to a little website
that I have hosted locally on my server, that is the same remote, but on their phone
Mark 2 - remote website
is it a static page or?
Still tweaking but it works great and instant response - never built a website before, it's trickier than I thought!
Mostly static, but I've built in nest thermostat control, it updates the thermostat target and current temperature when the screen goes on, or when the widget is touched, and you can set the temperature with it
I disabled it temporarily there to avoid a flood of requests while I was testing
Initially I was thinking more dashoard than remote, but 1) I've noticed people tend to wall mount their dashboards when I think I prefer the portability and
- There isn't much info I can put on the dashboard that would be useful to me TBH
fair enough. well done! π
π There's no feeling like a project success!
hi, do someone know how what lovelace cards are being used here? https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/26906928/93024827-65c63c00-f623-11ea-9b77-35466c22779b.gif
#frontend-archived was already the right place
@shy comet yep its getting like yesterday, just stepped outside. Been hooked on Raised by wolfs. π
Got potential to be the next GOT
what a strange show
Strange indeed. Ridley Scott strange π
Outstanding cinematography and audio for TV
hmm time to add it to the list lol
they have the creepy vibe nailed
Can surely say its HBO money looking at fire animations. Lmao.
ah hbo so no 4k?
I don't think so. 1080 is more than enough when surround is kick ass
and Dolby Vision
Been hooked on Raised by wolfs. π
@tidal bronze watching nature shows again huh
it was not at all what I was expecting
Waiting for "Tiny world"
i find alot of netflix shows to be kind of.. meh
Netflix productions are getting worse by the day. $2 animations all day.
there was a few that were good, can't remember the names but I didn't fall asleep midway
just got done helping the woman put some shelfs in the closet. was biting my nails the entire time she was predrilling the holes cause it seemed like she thought the bit was flexable or something
So you made sure the bit was NOT flexible?
that be awesome, surprised they aren't standard by now
if i had a dime for every drillbnit i broke off in something
I would havve 50 cents
Something tells me you should not be anywhere near any kind of drilling.
why? I done construction for several years lol
sure I can't bend like a pretzel anymore to do some things but thats why I make others do that lol
So you got a trail of drill stubs I guess....to solidify the fact you were in construction π
nah, once they break you grind off the part thats still sticking out and paint over it lol
Outstanding
If it makes you happy and proud π
lol reminds of the time I actually had a structural engineer come to the house to give me ideas on how to tackle a support beam that shifts during the winter/summer times
he was like, just nail a and extra board over top to give it something to still be under it if it pulls out
Support beam that shifts huh? YEP the barn life.
was like.. wtf
every house has them, just some people don't notice them
you got noting to worry about, your house is what? 2 weeks old?
lol
already in the process of building your next
my house was built in the 70's so ground shift and shrink and expansions has taken it's toll
You should bring that moving support beam tech to LA. Fight the earthquakes
sure, would probably be easy, just wait till it's rubble then say.. yup it's toast
no clue what they do exactly to tackle building in sand
I seen some stuff on tv, but that's not a realiable source lol
You really need to come down here....I will gladly lend you a shovel π
do homes have to have sails attached to the side by code in the event the state falls into the ocean and you all have to set sail so you can float off into the sunset?

I wonder if penis enlargement is like an every day thing there lol
Never had to wonder on that one.
Spam? Is that a thing still?
oh i forgot, you probably got someone or something shifting through your mail to remove the trash lol
or maybe thats a cali law lol
I could keep warm through a whole winter just by burning the trash mail i get
It was bad years ago. Now very few. I never get to see it anyway.
Who checks mail anymore π
lol
bet your waiting for the day gas engines will be outlawed and everyone has to go electric
Christmas wine and whiskey gifts to all delivery people goes a long way. Best spam investment ever.
damn dude. i don't even know my mailman's gender
I guess we aren't as hippie friendly in the midwest lol
It's pretty awesome when FedEx driver calls and asks do you want it early or is it ok if I come after 1 pm. π
here people just throw other people in the way of the delivery truck to make it stop to get their stuff
Lol
@tidal bronze curious if anything will spark from those two officers getting shot there. with everything going on in one direction and all
Hmm I highly doubt it. Only time will tell.
still find it ironic how the east and west coasts always have to be polar opposites in everything lol
Well as they say "few bad apples" right ?
friend lives in NJ and he always says anytime anything like whats going on in portland comes up those people get a NJ beating lol
but then they do say sack instead of bag there
That would end up in a disaster here. Like you said we live in different worlds. I have seen few out of towers learn things the hard way.
oh? what is the cali hard way? you know i'm picturing someone being forced to eat spinach right
Don't be fooled by kale and spinach. Lol.
wtf those people looking at?
Pretty good π great H/S balance
there were some people playing soccer in the field to the right
one of them had a rather shapely hind end
interesting seating spot
so probably that
Why portrait?
one of them had a rather shapely hind end
@tidal bronze see that quad, thats what i want to do in cali
look at shapely hind ends lol
All day buddy. All day.
because the composition was way off in landscape
I took another in landscape but you couldn't see the cool little step downs inside the fountain

I am a simple man but I totally want the see the water in the toilet flush go the opposite direction.
what I don't want to see is typhoons spinning the opposite of hurricanes
The funny thing is, we have a different style of toilet flush in Australia, it doesn't swirl at all.
What I would like to know is why the blue in the toilet water disappears when I do #2 in there, maybe this means that I'm dehydrated? π€
Yeah, and why does the toilet water taste salty
that's used water then

Not sure if I like the idea of a cloud robot vacuum having a real camera in it
"we will save the last 24 months of recordings for you for free in the cloud upon signing up to use this functionality" incoming...
Setup with your robot vacuum pointed at a screen playing scenes from horror movies to freak out your assigned spy
The whole idea of combining cameras and AI to avoid stuff is good, but the privacy concerns are huge here
It's ok when it's purely local, if you can trust the company to keep it purely local.... so not really ok π
Happy birthday HA
Don't the roborocks shut down if they can't heartbeat the mothership

hello guys, HA on usb flash drive : good / bad idea?
bad
Probably bad
they claim flash drives last about the same as sd cards but I don't think that is actually true
They also tend to be slower
slower than SD ?
Yes
The right answer, if you're not ready to upgrade, is an industrial SD card. Failing that something designed for high write life - like the WD Purple cards - is a good compromise.
ok , this tutorial will be good for me ? USB 3.0 reader, SSD 60 GB drive
Probably, only you will know π
ok, thanks π
Also depends on the OS you're using, and other things
my card is 30/30 Mb/S
Ordered a new refrigerator back in July for my mom, because of the pandemic delivery was pushed to August and then 3 days before the date they called and said it was pushed to September. coming up on 3 days before the date so expecting to get a call to hear it's been pushed back again. lol
If you need a new refrigerator and it's not in stock, good luck lmao
Yet here, that's all long past
I could pick up my choice of fridges, or freezers, from my local store today
