#

love tawny newsome. that was the only thing making me interested in an animated star trek show

clear mirage
#

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

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

If you keep scrolling, you’ll find when 1.0 will be released.

light trout
#

Nice!

desert iris
#

Should I paint it?

forest edge
#

you should light up the HA logo somehow

#

like a soft light, not bright

desert iris
#

yeah i could put an led on the gpio pins with a resistor

clever mortar
#

Gentle blue glow, gently burning the logo into the ceiling πŸ˜„

#

gently disrupting your circadian rhythm

desert iris
#

The shape of the house was engraved, maybe should have made some cuts there too

light trout
#

I woulnd not add paint to it

forest edge
#

lol like those blue night lights where the whole square glows, not sure what kind of light that is

last dirge
#

I've only ever seen green ones

forest edge
#

they use to be blue

last dirge
#

edgelit smoked plexi would be cool

forest edge
#

the sonoff brf bridge uses it to light the logo in green lol

last dirge
#

but would also defeat the purpose of the speed holes

desert iris
#

i can share the design if anyone wants it, it was made in inkscape (open source)

light trout
#

The forum would be a great place to post about it πŸ‘

amber shard
#

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.

clever mortar
#

Connecting things and HA

light trout
#

It's a communication protocol

forest edge
#

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

velvet horizonBOT
desert iris
#

You can receive and send data to ESP8266 boards for example

amber shard
#

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!

forest edge
#

in my day we just used tin cans linked together with a string

desert iris
#

Still effective 🀣

amber shard
#

Tin can and string only supports WEP though :p

forest edge
#

well it did have it's limitations

clever mortar
#

I use MQTT for bluetooth tracking (monitor) and Zigbee (zigbee2MQTT)

orchid rose
#

Looks good to me Ricardo. Maybe just darken it a bit and light up the logo as other suggested

proper acorn
#

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?

amber shard
#

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

proper acorn
#

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

amber shard
#

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 πŸ˜„

proper acorn
#

yea... the weird part is the host OS can ping external just fine. it's just the container having issues. πŸ€”

#

Yea.. this is internal

#

Somethings up with my internal DNS Thanks for letting me vent it πŸ™‚

#

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.

inland crag
#

ah.... felt great to finally leave the Homebridge discord lol

#

finally fully migrated over

amber shard
#

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 πŸ™‚

inland crag
#

now if only I could figure out this whole emulated hue sync thing

clever mortar
inland crag

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.

clever mortar
#

If you have no luck here, Google says there's an actual HVAC Discord

robust arch
#

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

clever mortar
#

From hvac discord on Google πŸ˜‰

robust arch
#

Srsly appreciate it. Didn't occur to me that the internet has a spot for everything :)

#

So frustrated rn!

errant bough
#

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.

deft pewter
#

Mobile phone hotspot?

errant bough
#

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

deft pewter
#

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.

errant bough
#

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

clever mortar
#

Replace the router with one that can VLAN, or provides guest wifi

errant bough
#

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?

clever mortar
#

It's typically a segregated network that can't communicate with the main network

eternal thistle
#

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

midnight adder

add a blue led

Oof the way to get a token for an Xiaomi device is complicated

dull chasm
#

ok ... you gonna get denons new flagship 13.2 avr 110 anniversary for $5500 @tidal bronze too

tidal bronze
#

Thinking about it, if yamaha is going to skip this year.

dull chasm
#

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

tidal bronze
#

Planning to drive all speakers using class D anyway. Dedicated 200W drivers all around.

dull chasm
#

taking a step back ....thats what we used to do for quadfonic

tidal bronze
#

None of the AVRs are rated all channels driven, with icepower so cheap no reason to hold back.

dull chasm
#

of course not .... you would need seperates with a preamp

tidal bronze
#

Going to try without the preamp, since Class D sampling supports 1V pp

dull chasm
#

ok good luck .....but a waste of amps

tidal bronze
#

Will finish the build soon. Thank you. Going to drive everything bi amp as well.

dull chasm
#

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

tidal bronze
#

Fronts are bi but going to drive the rest bi as well.

dull chasm
#

πŸ–• you got a postion that i can pay for that as well

#

position == job

tidal bronze
#

2 x 200W around $290 going DIY.

dull chasm
#

per channel

tidal bronze
#

Yes.

dull chasm
#

i bet harmonics is gonna kill ya

tidal bronze
dull chasm
#

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

tidal bronze
#

They are all D mono blocks πŸ˜„

dull chasm
#

ok so they are not bi blocks ? πŸ€”

tidal bronze
#

Individual blocks driving each coil sir.

dull chasm
#

i understand

tidal bronze
#

Plus D is nothing similar to A/B

dull chasm
#

but you cant remove THD at that price point

tidal bronze
#

You are wrong πŸ˜†

dull chasm
#

or keep below 10%

#

well i know your arse is obsessed like me so i will trust you as gueania pig

tidal bronze
#

0.2 THD, 100dBA 80% efficiency 😜

dull chasm
#

looks good except efciency ....

#

and i just said 10 percent and you quote 20 ..... 🀣

tidal bronze
#

What do you mean 20? You got your THD twisted. Lol

dull chasm
#

from yamaha spec or 3080 .. .06

tidal bronze
#

Thats fine. 0.2% is not 20% πŸ˜‚

dull chasm
tidal bronze
#

I will measure THD before and after anyway compared to 3080 output stage.

dull chasm
#

my old school math might be wrong but i still love ya @tidal bronze

tidal bronze
#

Lowes calc huh. Love ya too man

dull chasm
#

lol that was just a ad

tidal bronze
#

@dull chasm 3080 @ 150W THD 90mW. Icepower @200W 400mW distortion πŸ™‚

dull chasm
#

thats a huge diff

tidal bronze
#

LMAO

#

Ok sir. I doubt you barely break 70W on the 3080 driving 9

#

150W is only 2 channels driven.

dull chasm
#

true and i agree ..... but with those numbers on ice ....woofer would shimmer with thd

tidal bronze
#

Solid 100 x 11 is plenty. Not anything near clipping.

dull chasm
#

no clipping i agree but woofer resonence would be noticable

tidal bronze
#

Some are saying better than Classe amps on low end performance.

#

And D is the future. So let's see.

dull chasm
#

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

tidal bronze
dull chasm
#

from .1 to .09 was a strugle

#

in the 80's

tidal bronze
#

Yep

#

BTW icepower modules are rips from B&O πŸ˜†

dull chasm
#

thats what made 901's so popluar because of the size of woofer did not shimmer and distort

@green inlet sad when there's nothing to do with HA so gotta do something over the weekend.

The new beta seems jammed packed

Hmmm don't know whether it will be anything that would change in my setup.

green inlet

Yea, that’s how I am. Everything moving to UI and I still chugging along with yaml

static schooner

I've just been optimizing my existing automations

tidal bronze

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

I am more excited on frigate development than anything else.

Only crap like this bothers me. 🀣

green inlet

Is that facial/object detection?

tidal bronze
#

Got like 20 person detected notification for a damn helium balloon. Yes real-time detection.

green inlet
#

I have wanted to do that but don’t feel it is really up to speed yet. I want facial recognition not object detection

tidal bronze
#

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.

green inlet
#

Ohh, that usb accelerator looks cool

tidal bronze

I am running 2 of those. Very cool indeed.

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.

@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.

whats wrong with unifi?

#

never had a problem with their accesspoints

late gate

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

eternal thistle
#

hm no idea what you mean by that

late gate
#

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

eternal thistle
#

not sure that expectation is realistic. like that the builtin wifi antenna in some consumer router would be better than dedicated accesspoints

late gate
#

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

eternal thistle
#

especialy penetrating concrete floors is mostlikely a problem. id always use dedicated accesspoints for each floor

late gate
#

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

If I go mesh I consider Netgear Orbi AX6000, but high price. 1200usd for a 3 pack

eternal thistle
#

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 🀟

theres often only the option to use more APs

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 😦

fallen patio
#

πŸ‘€

#

what did you make

rigid oriole
#

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

#

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

fallen patio
#

is it a static page or?

rigid oriole
#

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

#
  1. There isn't much info I can put on the dashboard that would be useful to me TBH

fair enough. well done! πŸ™‚

Strange indeed. Ridley Scott strange πŸ˜†

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

#

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

tidal bronze
#

So you made sure the bit was NOT flexible?

forest edge
#

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

tidal bronze
#

Something tells me you should not be anywhere near any kind of drilling.

forest edge
#

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

tidal bronze
#

So you got a trail of drill stubs I guess....to solidify the fact you were in construction πŸ˜‚

forest edge
#

nah, once they break you grind off the part thats still sticking out and paint over it lol

tidal bronze
#

Outstanding

forest edge
#

added support

#

like a bonus you know

#

a nail but won't pull out

tidal bronze
#

If it makes you happy and proud πŸ‘

forest edge
#

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

tidal bronze
#

Support beam that shifts huh? YEP the barn life.

forest edge
#

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

tidal bronze
#

You should bring that moving support beam tech to LA. Fight the earthquakes

forest edge
#

sure, would probably be easy, just wait till it's rubble then say.. yup it's toast

Lol.

Never had to wonder on that one.

forest edge
#

you don't get spam mail about it?

#

lol

tidal bronze
#

Spam? Is that a thing still?

forest edge
#

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

tidal bronze
#

It was bad years ago. Now very few. I never get to see it anyway.

#

@tidal bronze curious if anything will spark from those two officers getting shot there. with everything going on in one direction and all

tidal bronze
#

Hmm I highly doubt it. Only time will tell.

forest edge
#

still find it ironic how the east and west coasts always have to be polar opposites in everything lol

tidal bronze
#

Well as they say "few bad apples" right ?

forest edge
#

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

tidal bronze
#

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

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? πŸ€”

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 ?

clever mortar

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.

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
