lol pirate, prob got a treasure map on the wall inside the house that looks like decor to others but little do they know..
I keep my valuables in the banana stand
quad on his death bed will be whispering to someone, "the treasure map on the wall is real.. find the treasure!"
i keep it simple, i have no valuables lol
@last dirge banana stand ?
<Arrested Development, for those not in the know>
What about bananas. ? So its like this 3 tier thingee
On a side note Sony slowly took over the Bose QC market, such a stronghold gone in 2 years. 🤔
Almost never see Bose anymore.
Bose was kinda upper tier and expensive for a long time
Yep.
my truck has bose speakers lol
They are. Used to like them before I switched to Sony. Looking around not a single QC
Been noticing the change last few months.
ah crap starting to see the effects of an sdcard dying lol
looks like this weekend will be switch to external drive time
which sucks cause i got all these new toys coming in from amazon to play with
What's wrong with ordering toys off Amazon? 👀
Didn't say it was wrong just strange for a guy.
@forest edge Yeaaah, I gave up on running HomeAssistant from SDCard pretty quick. Dunno how long the card would have lasted, but the performance increase of going SSD was worth it on its own
@tidal bronze Not really? lol
Wondering whether @forest edge meant gadgets 🤔
Toys and gadgets are equally fun and equally acceptable for adult males.
I love me some board games and Lego.
This ^
You're never too old for toys and games. Some people just get boring.
amazon definitely sells adult toys
Oh boy that went PG in a quick minute
🍆
"Toys" is also pretty ambiguous. I might order some ESP8266 modules and say "I have new toys coming"
I am dying here 🤣
Tech toys count 😛
Yep.
yeah, bluetooth connected ones
Ah ha ha
so your fans can donate coins
@last dirge Need an ESP32 for that
more strange for a dude to hear "toys" and assume 8 and below lol
@forest edge size queen?
lol
LMAO
LULZ
Looks at stack of ESP8266 modules
Looks over at Hitachi magic wand
I think I can combine these interests...
You gotta be specific when a hippie is around @forest edge
damn projects are stacking, went out to clear the cobwebs off and noticed the glaze on the garage window is falling off lol

@tidal bronze apparently.. damn veggie eaters
Granted, I already got Alexa to control a magic wand, but not with speed control 👀
0 > 100 in a quick min
those ads on Insta for the "muscle relaxing gun"
you're not fooling anybody
theragun
@tidal bronze It'll be 100 if I post the video 😛
lol
tf is going on in here lol
apparently 8 inch or bigger is quads type?
Wrong quad
you're the one talkin about "assuming under 8"
i didn't post that video
Damn turbulence is so bad keep adding emojis to the wrong line
apparently the Windows 10 Solitaire app requires an internet connection to work
all computers but one on ubuntu now
@last dirge found anything good on those cards?
windows objectively sucks. its an advertising platform, and even microsoft is giving up on it incrementally
what cards?
SD cards
I'm not looking for SD cards
I bought like 8 of 'em when I got the drone and mirrorless camera
windows objectively sucks. its an advertising platform, and even microsoft is giving up on it incrementally
@flat fossil this is what Linux fan boys say and been saying it for years lol
doesnt make it false!
WSL is proof. at least thats what i read on reddit
direct linux support from microsoft
Microsoft literally has no reason to give up on Windows, they're making money hand over fist...
windows will eventually be a layer on top of Linux
if ms was giving up they sure taking their sweet time since the 90's
When they stop making money, the argument might have a leg to stand on
just last year they finally made MSSQL run on linux
so you're not even tied to have MSOS
but it also does suck. installing firefox on windows is all the proof you need. "Hey wait a minute did you know about Edge? Or IE?"
if porting SQL Server to Linux means they can sell more MS SQL licenses, they'll do it
what do you use?
and fewer MS Server licenses
chrome
Firefox?
lol for real? i ditched chrome for the same reason as i ditched windows
i was assuming you'd say opera or some shit
@last dirge Not necessarily. Because of how Windows Server is licensed, you might still wind up buying the same number of license allocations
so you left to go to a browser that openly admits to privacy jacking to make profit.. real smart lol
fuck i did not know that
I guess I will stick to windows.
the place I'm working at is migrating off of Oracle because "too expensive" to SQL Server
I use Firefox, ditched Chrome a while back
I'd use Chromium Edge over Google Chrome, honestly
you shouldn't
they won't do MariaDB because "there's no support"
even though they never use the support for MSSQL
so...
curious what the new ms edge is like but what I have works so meh
the main reason i went to firefox is i was tired of my browser using 15gb of ram when no windows were open
@forest edge It's based on the Chromium Project, like Google Chrome, but with everything Google ripped-out and replaced by Microsoft equivalents.
oh snap my rgb strips are here!
@forest edge It's based on the Chromium Project, like Google Chrome, but with everything Google ripped-out and replaced by Microsoft equivalents.
@subtle pasture that doesn't make it sound more appealing lol
I mean, I've read both privacy policies and seen what each browser reports to the mothership... I prefer the Microsoft version to the Google version..
can nubu casa just make a cross platform cloud sync browser?
Google has done some draconian shit with Chrome
all tech companies are advertising companies really
Firefox remains my primary browser, though 😛
i think @last dirge works for microsoft
I do not
got headhunted by MS a while ago
can't afford to live in Redmond
got headhunted by AMZN
can't afford to live in Seattle
nice place tho. i visited a lot when i lived in seattle
redmond that is
something tells me if you took the offer from amazon you could afford to live in seattle. if i did it working at a grocery store lol
(which eventually ended up being acquired by amazon)
Heh, former Whole Foods employee?
yep of many years. now a US federal employee. not sure which is worse
get the fuck out. that wasnt a thing when i was there lol
What's wrong with that?
@tidal bronze The pricetag
lol 6 dollars
for 3 shoots of asparagus and some water
fuck jeff bezos that was his idea
If you are shopping at Wholefoods why would you be complaining about price tag?
Because it's absurd, even for Whole Foods
Which means it's pretty astronomically absurd
lol
when i worked at whole foods in seattle we'd have personal chefs come in to provision for a yacht trip. theyd buy $5k in champagne, $8k in caviar, 80 backs of bacon, etc. thats who they're targeting lol
Someone did the math and determined that each bottle should cost about $2.35, after store markup
Gotta love that 250% markup?
the insane thing is that they weren't profitable even with those prices
lol
glad i got out when i did. i was strongly considering making it a career
That's like complaining about parking fee in Rodeo Drive. @subtle pasture just makes no sense astronomical or not.
dumb rich white people are a great target
and an easy one
this discord server is mostly rich white people, we just aren't as dumb lol
The parking on Rodeo Drive is metered and costs the same as most of the rest of the city: $1 per hour
Just FYI...
The city doesn't give a shit about property value when they install meters
lol how often do you shop there?
Never, but Google is a wonderful thing
Figures.
i buy alcohol there because they deliver it and i'm lazy
and they cant jack up alcohol prices
NOOOOOOOOOOO
Rodeo Drive is a 5 hour drive from here, so... not a place I frequent
my rgb strips came with the stupid reltek chip instead of the esp
@subtle pasture my point is if you are shopping there you usually don't look for a meter. Not everything is for everyone. Stupid or not. Astronomical or not. Just trying to make a simple point.
@forest edge What'd you order, so we can all avoid it
was a Lumary strip. the older ones had esp but like everything tuya based, these already switched
@tidal bronze youd be surprised how diverse the whole foods clientele is. I worked at many different stores.
oh well off to find a diffrent controller
At least the controller is separate
You could always grab a NodeMCU and flash it + wire it up
thing was 15 bucks i wanted it to be an all in one lol
lol
I'm using fewer than I thought... bought a pack of 3, currently only using 1 (garage door opener)
I'm sure I'll find a use for the other two eventually
@flat fossil was not talking about WF 🙂
oooh
Washer/dryer wound up on smart plugs instead, dishwasher wound up with a temp/humidity sensor instead...
Yup, my dishwasher vents steam a few minutes before it dings that it's done
@forest edge AIO for $15 huh? How did that work out?
but one of my cats would for sure sabotage it
I stuck an Aqara temp/humidity sensor above the vent. Both the temp and humidity max out on the sensor right before the dishwasher is done. Super easy to detect and send out a notification. lol
the strip is rgbcwww so I guess it's not a huge loss lol
Need that Oof emoji again, lol
bordering channel rules now lol
my bad
jealous. fully dark here
Damn taking northern route. 😩 next week 😆 @forest edge
wtf you taking a picture of? a tablet? lol
Looks like a seat back screen
Yep my fire tablet
no idea why you would ever fly over KC unless you were in north Carolina or something
Depends on traffic and routes. Always right above KC when going east and sometimes back west.
This close 😅
But technically your Halloween stuff should light up entire northern hemisphere right ?
wrong holiday bub
halloween is all orange and purple not red and white lol
I will say I am the only shmuck in my neighboorhood with halloween lights on so far and havve been the whole month lmao
That sounds like fun.
fml they want 10 bucks for a damn controller I can actually use
that puts these bastards up to 25 bucks which is back to normal price
@subtle pasture My LG TV wakes up over wifi using the WOL magic packet
I did mention WoWLAN was a thing
It just doesn't exist on the majority of wireless chipsets, and is very rarely implemented
🤷♂️ All I know is it works
We were specifically talking about TVs as well so maybe support is more widespread there
It's also possible the TV isn't as asleep as it appears
And more particular how the LG webOS documentation was incorrect
I believe the power consumption about the same for the TVs ethernet and wireless wol options,
But anyways, I'll have ethernet when I'm not renting.
My living room TV is (supposedly) smart, but it's so old now... I unplugged the USB wifi dongle from the back and just use it as a dumb TV
Yeah there's a bad period of smart tvs
Still a lot of bad ones
But the LG one is really really good
Onboard AI 4K upscaling that works fantastic, plex with direct stream works for everything I've used, good UI,
On the up side, I can wake it from any attached device over HDMI CEC, and the Logitech Harmony Hub in the room controls it just fine
I've found it great not needing to use HDMI devices, the lack of upscaling support is a big downside to attached 4k devices
Which honestly gives me more functionality than connecting the TV to WiFi and trying to control it directly
I put my Apple TV in a box and haven't used it
I just wish it had chromecast inbuilt
I still have to use a Chromecast Ultra attached but it's not a very good device
I just have an Nvidia Shield TV Pro plugged into mine
Does the job, and isn't built into the TV, so it can be upgraded whenever
It also does AI upscaling and has a built in Chromecast
I guess in 5 years if the tv features are redundant I could look at the nearest equivalent
But a device like that is about $350 here so it's nice to not have to tack that onto the cost of the new TV
Can that do game streaming?
I'd rather the TV be cheaper and not include smart features, honestly
I'm just going to attach my own box anyway
And one of the two devices is going to outlive the other, without a doubt
Same reason buying a TV with a built in VCR was a bad idea...
Inevitably, that same TV winds up stacked on top of a replacement for the built-in player
Sheild is great for now, my choice as well. But as EARC gets implemented widely I don't see the reason for a separate box in the future.
A manufacturer making and distributing a non-smart tv model would probably cost more
Economy of scales and everything
I guess their plan is to sell 2 million panels not 2 😆
I don't think I could have screwed myself any harder with these lights lol
At least they were cheap 😛
wonder if i can sell the lumary controllers on ebay for as much as what amazon wants for them lol
@forest edge strange, once again. 🤣
how is selling crap on ebay strange to you of all people lol
@subtle pasture exactly, a TV should be able to be bought as a giant monitor and we plug stuff into it. I just want a good picture, it doesn't even need speakers.
you'll go blind doing that
NO
Will get 16:9 eyes
But not blind
The only smart tv feature I use is waake on lan via the ethernet port 😂
you know they put power buttons on those things, even on remotes too
Wait
Is that what that button does?
mindblown
I thought it would shift power from me, and let the tv start deciding things at home
I never dared pressing it
also when you press it you have a 1 in 100 chance of getting a racoon delivered to your home which is probably why people use the wol so they can avoid that
here it's mixed, some ignore them some just keep their distance
racoons are horrible about stealing outdoor cats food so that sometimes leads to ruffles but usually racoons aren't aggressive
rabies is always a concern so when I see them i run them off
My wife will look around for the remote rather than just turning it off at the tv
As in walk around the house
it's a good way to ensure someone gets a little exercise in their day
Hehe
are those tomatoes for ants
never grew salad sized tomatoes before
Dear diary, today I did something that SoreEnemaGTS and Pedro Brian probably are masters at, but I'm horrible, I tried using screed, let's see if I get a level surface or if they laugh at me
Oh no, I said it out loud
oh don't misunderstand, here we call those cherry tomatoes and i just never knew they were also called Norwegian Nibblers
Psssh, there are some plum and delicatessen tomato's there too
is that a unibody macbook?
2011 - the ones with the f. up GPU's
I'll try to do the GPU hardware mod on it sooner or later.

I'm prittey confidend that I ll brick the thing 🤣
uhm sometimes I hate chat robots. While waiting for a real person it asked me to say keyword and I said "combine orders", and getting reply "if you want to apply for employment, please go to this site for an application"

@hushed basalt I can just yell at Alexa to turn off the TV, lol
hey, my internet has na outage, so I am forced to use 4g with huwaei B535, anyone familiar with these how to set up port forwarding for nginx on these 4g router?
Probably not possible since you are likely behind CG NAT @modest hollow
uff so i am fu.. for a week, uff
Well, what do you need to do outside the house?
you need to punch a hole to the outside with a tunnel and proxy from there
this is some settings: https://imgur.com/a/RjOpwpv
Won't help much if the 4g wan side isn't an official IP address
What IP do you get in the wan side? Give us the two first octets
49.123
Then there might be hope
no sorry 100.81
Probably the virtual server section is what you are after
100.81.x.y is CGNAT
There's two hopes here... Bob Hope and no hope
is this good set up https://imgur.com/ybs9e4A ?? maybe not
Please... stop posting images 😉
There's no point
You have a CGNAT WAN IP
You cannot remotely reach your network
ok thanks
I mean, you can, but it's not as easy
You can purchase a VPS and make a reverse connection to that from behind CGN
The VPS will give you a non-NATed static IP
complicated?
Not really, but maybe very

what fren stuff
@clever mortar Good article, btw
There's always a way
Just depends how much time and/or money you're willing to invest
And how much you're willing to learn...
For sure
I'm sure a few of us already have a VPS out in the cloud we can use for such things 👀
there is always a way...
I haven't had a use of a VPS since.... 98 🦻
just depends on how much of your soul you are willing to sell to the HA gods

not today, will watch when I'm real bored 😛
hello there :) I'm bored with no will to work on anything. I feel like this is the place :P
anyone working on something interesting?
🍔

😩
Got enough tyres there?
Also, some nutter seems to have embedded little bits of metal in four of them... you should get that checked out 😛
i have 4 of those with the bonus metal to in my garage.
I always told mylself that i was going to get them fix someday
i'm getting a new car in december ...
It soon time for the winter tyres feckers
you have snow ?
It's not just for snow 😉
it's for show
Winter tyres behave very differently at cold temperatures than summer tyres
Well, the studs are for ice
But yes, driving on all year tires, or summer tires in winter is a piss poor idea
Well, all season tyres > summer tyres in winter 😉
And a good all season tyre is usually good enough when you don't live with snowmageddon
i always had the all season, but when there is a tad of snow the road get unusable because of the other car, so i don't commute
No snow 🤢
imagine commuting
I went with winter tyres at one point, but weather here is almost never bad enough to justify them over good all season tyres
I have 5m to commute, I'll manage 🤣
I have to commute down the hall
i'm getting an EV, so winter tyres might be a good idea with the added mass (also 58 minutes commute)
which EV?
you prob don't know it, it's a french/europe brand. E208 from peugeot
it's actualy the only EV i could afford that had the minimum option for me to think about buying a new new car
do they have a petrol 208?
yup
they made and E208 iso to the 208
no funky EV style
you only loose the spare tyres in the trunk, space is taken for battery
none of their pictures show the rear seat
30K for the car almost full option... and i'm getting help from the grandmother ... i realy couldn't get something better :(
40K is a lot, i am only doing 20K and i hate driving back home
@midnight adder
anyone working on something interesting?
Just trying to survive Friday and get through the workday @_@
||i won't say it's 10 PM here then :P||
do the seats fold flat?
@last dirge your profile picture, it's you or a meme?
porque no los dos?
exactly what i though :,)
@fiery sorrel but if the seats fold and there's no parcel shelf that's a decent amount of volume back there
I'm making a corona sensor for my region atm
yea it is enough for anything i will do for sure, maybe exept the Xmas tree ...
plus i don't have a SO, so i get extra room on the right seat
@midnight adder why do you ask?
because of the soyboy meme obviously
he is the victim of mkultra
how old are you?
32
'too soy'? Is that incel speak for something?
not sure if it's incel
definitely right-wing nutjob though
no projection needed
TIL only America has a right wing.
i have absoluty no idea what you are talking about ... incel don't mean anything to me, and soy is a plant ...

@fiery sorrel idiot conspiracy theory that soy is physically emasculating
@fiery sorrel soy = estrogent. careful, brother.
Hey, some folks think the world is flat...
calling someone right wing nutjob in inherently american concept
@fiery sorrel Soy contains phytoestrogens (very weak plant estrogens). While these don't interact with mammalian ERa or ERb receptors all that well, some people still think soy can cause de-masculinization.

@green inlet what's on the drink menu today ?
@midnight adder Heh, I'm actually well acquainted with gray-market prescription medication, it's not actually much (or any) cheaper
he's having a kale, banana, blueberry smoothie with chia seeds @tidal bronze
it's a joke
oh :(
for whatever reason he seems anti-health stuff
@green inlet and chia seeds 🤣
chia seeds are weird
you have to chug the hell out of the smoothie or they surround themselves in this odd gelatinous layer

I live in a pretty heavily asian area
so there's a huge asian slant to what's in my local warehouse

Oh good old stuff. We gave plenty of that here.
and dumplings
that i something i know and love :)
and other asian hors douvres
I only wish we had Japanese markets within 5 miles.
We have tons near Santa Monica

Little piece of heaven you got there @last dirge
you crazy ass Europeans and your eating way into the night
You mean morning
@tidal bronze that's not even the half of it
south of me there's all sorts of hispanic/latin stuff
I'm in a food mecca
Salvadoreno, Mexicano, Dominicano
Where else would you wanna be. 🤣
Costa Rican
You forgot Peruvian
that's not close
but there's that

yeah
My first thought on it is that, however long you may or may not have spent listening to lectures or YouTube videos on Wittgenstein, you've wasted your time because you are too dim-witted to grasp the common-sense distinctions that Wittgenstein "took as read"
For me bulgogi tacos or kimchi tacos with spicy pork.
they've got that too
with the gochujang sauce
they've got a Cali style burrito with kimchi fried rice plus whatever protein you pick
so good
someone know if there is an option in discord to hide the blocked message ? it break the flow :(
@last dirge sounds like LA / San Francisco
@fiery sorrel unfortunately no

@shy comet is a big fan of Korean fusion as well.
i havent had the Kogi truck in ages!
there's a place nearby called Amazing Burger
they've got a bulgogi marinated burger that's fantastic
@shy comet you still not going out ?
ok ok, but do you ever cook ?
With so many option ... you can eat something different every day for weeks
🤤
Wowza
garlicky cuban pork tacos with black beans and rice
Yes please...
can i ship myself to your house ?
you'd probably die in customs
i can bring some tech goodies to pay the rent
@midnight adder you feeling alright ?
I'm choosing not to engage further, lol
how long does customs take ? a day or two ?
@last dirge STOP
i'm willing for something like this
🤣
pulled pork chili rellenos with broccolini, veggie tots, and squash
got some more poblanos on the plant so I'll be doing that again soon
Looks awesome man
@tidal bronze nope...doctors orders
I hear you.
not worth the risk
Yep. Totally makes sense
Here we go
Homemade French toast :3
I watched this show on Netflix that was about different latin/south american street foods
That was good.
and they had an episode about Oaxaca and this thing they make called a tlayuda
@subtle pasture hey, I bought that same bottle of maple syrup last time I was in the States, but I haven't opened it yet 🤣
@clear ferry Hard to beat Costco for Maple Syrup, heh
@last dirge watch "gotta feed Phil"
You guys are making me feel hungry now. 😆
That one plate of toast fed 4 people. So... so many carbs...
tiled countertop
French toast and carbs should not be used in the same sentence @subtle pasture
you in the midwest?
@last dirge California central valley
that's egg milk and sugar right @subtle pasture ?
ooooh
Bread soaked in milk, egg, cinnamon, sugar, and vanilla, then fried in a pan until golden brown on both sides
wait cinnamon ? i need to try that
@subtle pasture what's your favorite Winery out there?
i need to find someone who can cook like that
because i sure don't have the courage
I'm not big into wine... even though I'm basically next-door to E&J Gallo Winery
E&J stuff is super cheap here
what the hell .. The French laundry is a restaurant Oo
who name a restaurant like that
Probably baked mac and cheese
With a side of garlic bread, if that wasn't enough carbs for you
Truffles in mac and cheese? Come on...
That's needless extravagance that does nothing except increase the price of the dish
Like gold leaf on a pizza
it's fancy food
it's make to look as expensive as it is, but taist like nothing you've tried
"I just need the truffles for the picture, thanks"
and i know that because i've never been at any restaurant with a menu over 50
Michelin star restaurants, its an experience. Specially anything above 2 star.
yea but alone ? i don't know how you do it but it does sound like something you share with someone
sorry didn't quite get that last one ...
Food is good by yourself as well, with someone it makes it better but really not necessary 😆
oh yea, but i wouldn't go to a michelin alone, or i have changed from ops to rockstar dev and make 10X my salary
well, it's late ... should be going
Thank's for the hunger ... i will now be frustrated all night :)

@subtle pasture Costco was interesting, first and only time I've been, last time I was in something similar was in the early 90s, but it is illegal to have stores that require membership to shop here, since the mid 90s atleast I think, but it looked very similar to the shop we had like it when I was a kid
fun fact: you can buy alcohol at a Costco without a membership
at least in CA
"just here to buy Scotch..."
Yup, it's illegal to require membership for the purchase of alcohol here
General stores here aren't allowed to sell alcohol above 4.5% if memory serves right
Nah, supermarkets sell liquor here
it's a state-by-state thing
You can walk into a SaveMart / Ralph's and walk out with a bottle of Jack
Yeah, I'm familiar, same in Ireland and the UK
whenever I got back to Georgia, I'm reminded that I'm in the Bible Belt by the darkened beer/wine aisles on Sunday. And no hard alcohol outside of liquor stores
no i don't feel alright
Only 4.5% in general stores here, only between 7-20 on weekdays and 7-18 on Saturdays, we don't have Sunday stores really, they are allowed to be open if less than 50sqm
Anything above that is only liquor stores, owned and operated by the state in reality
Although it is a private held company
Betcha' can buy weed on a Sunday, though :P
...no dispensaries?
You shouldn't have to go anywhere shady for marijuana products
Nope, weed is illegal
Yeah, working on that, though only 14 states remain where there's no legally recognized use
dam it

on ios/android you only get tun - which is layer3

@tidal bronze I get incredibly bad anxiety, paranoia, and claustrophobia from THC. Like, my friend tried to hug me to calm me down, and I literally screamed...
If I had to guess what the feeling of "being buried alive in a locked coffin" is like... probably that...
I wonder if its the delay for ffmpeg or something else that is the issue
hm I have a apple tv for that... (remote access)
so Do I but it fails to work for remote access for HK HA cameras
@subtle pasture yikes. That's no fun. You can always enjoying looking at other people having fun. 😝
I also have only homebridge cameras, nothing official or explicit supported
but they work remotely via homebridge and atv
have a look at the homebridge log, debug: true those cams
hmm
it should start the rtsp stream to your atv when you deactivate wifi on your mobile phone
oh thats interesting.... the native bypass fails
if I let HA convert it.... its still blurred on the bottom but works
yeah I believe if you want them to stream via atv they have to adhere homekit video standards
so I guess something is slightly off with the unifi protect standards
well this explained a lot.. I just need to force it to always convert the video
and move HA off of a pi4 and give it more power
I only work in 720p/1080 with 30fps in h264 and don't need any conversion :/
it does for watch etc
in fact, the atv converts the video for you if you are remote
nwaht
ok so lets force a 1080p stream from protect to HA and the apple tv does the rest in theory?
yes
wow
I have no experience in RTSP->HA->Homekit
I just do RTSP->Homebridge->Homekit
| ->Homeassistant
I was using the unifi protect plugin for notifications from the camera from unifi
hmm and no go, i guess ill have to try homebridge as HA is not liking it
tho it looks like its just not happy with the stream
yeah homekit is a bit weird with the media streams... I had 2way audio working at one point with homebridge but the audio stream cut off every few seconds so I just wait a few more years
yah, basically Im forced to encode, which is fine if I move it all over to this mac
something about my unifi camera rstp stream is making homekit go NOPE
well thank you mstone, now I have a path to working remotly cameras
Does anyone use Robot hoovers? partner keeps going on about wanting one
roborock is great
xiaomi is the brand, roomba is great too but don't offer any mopping combos
I'm not too fussed on mopping
oh Xiaomi
I've been looking at eufgy or whatever they're called
eufy
Anyone any experience with smart buttons? Considering one for a doorbell type setup and has anyone done anything like this before?
I like xiaomi roborock since it’s running Ubuntu. Good with potential and quite smart@at navigating
unrootable s6vmax here 😦
Do you need an xiaomi hub for any xiaomi devices?
not for the roborocks at least
Ah, is there an easy way to find out if its needed?
well if it's obviously wifi you just need wifi. if it's zigbee you need zigbee etc..
Got it
The real question is if you have to go through their cloud service, or if it allows local communication
"The internet was down, so my house didn't get vacuumed"
"The future is stupid..."
both roborock and roomba will clean without cloud access
robot cleaning..
Yeah, will they communicate to HomeAssistant without cloud?
yes
i know neato def hits teh cloud
im pretty sure they stream the map to their server since ive seen odd behavior during api issues lol
roborock also syncs the map to the cloud but works fine if access is denied...
i heard theres a way to use neato locally but that level of reverse engineering is a bit beyond me
i know we can control it locally but thats manual control lol
it's also a bit inaccessible with roborocks, you need to extract a password from the xiaomi app to use it locally
don't know why they don't just open up the access
if your someone who doesn't go to the doctor on a yearly basis getting older can give you a few worries. starts out slow and only like 1 or two things that is different then it was a week ago and then builds lol
@dusky plank i found the miio command line tool to be sufficient enough to get my air purifier token which linked to the vacuum docs for setup lol
i believe xiaomi wifi only products can all use that tool
this failed for example with my s6vmax
and they also integrate tuya in newer devices
just wrestled a monster wolf spider in the garage. thing looks like it's been catching and eating birds lol
@dusky plank so not all roborock vacuums work with HA?

@forest edge do you ever think of moving to a place wherepeoplelive?
Read though the thread, and the linked thread... VMAX version not supported
Looks like it can be made to sorta work, but without full functionality
VMAX?
Hi everyone, I'm new here. I've got sort of a stupid beginner question.
I'm got Zigbee USB gateway and a Xiaomi, and I'm following along with this video for setup:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LeuHpBdwmag&t=901s
But, for whatever reason, I can't get the events to show up under the events panel. The sensor has been added, and I even added it to Lovelace, and it's able to detect mition.
I LOVE this little Cube. I got it as part of a whole kit from Xiaomi. All the devices are great, but the Cube is my Fav.
It's a great kit on it's own, using the Aqara Hub and the Aqara Home app, but if you know me you know I'm all about DIY and Home Assistant. So I got the...
*motion
you've found the #the-water-cooler, where there's no support
Ahh, my bad
#zigbee-archived is what you want
All right, thank you!
@forest edge do you ever think of moving to a place where
peoplelive?
@tidal bronze you mean where people riot and steal and murder each other? who the hell would willingly want to do that?
So glad that you see the positive side of everything
one must always be aware of their surroundings lol
Live in that bubble, always
I'll remember that when your posting pictures of you fending off people trying to steal your speakers
I would gladly giveaway if someone showed up. What's there to fend
oh? what's your address again?
lol
sounds like you need more practice
... I'm missing some context. lol
i don't know how lol
The "man handled" part threw me off
well unless you are one who likes the idea of being "man handled" I suppose you wouldn't understand lol
I don't get how we got from stealing speakers to rough sexytime, but aight
i see sonoma is still here making trouble
the person who it was aimed at got it so that's really all that matters I guess
@subtle pasture they all work, just not all rootable to run custom fw
Wasn't even looking at custom firmware?
The integration just needs an API key, but that's where the problems start, because it's not easy to get hold of. Like, you have to log in with the Android app on a rooted device to get it, and not the fully-featured Roborock app... and then once you have the key, you can't switch to the Roborock app, because re-pairing results in the key regenerating, so you're stuck without full functionality
But now you have my interest. Some of the Roborock vacuums can be flashed with custom firmware?
theres also progress to pair when using the roborock app on the forums.
devices like the s6vmax talk in traditional xiaomi api token fashion when paired with the mi home app,
AND they talk in tuya with rotating keys when paired with the roborock app
@subtle pasture which phone are you using? On newer smartphones you might find options to open 2 apps parallel. Like, really having them active at the same time.
Punky this only works with some models

@dusky plinth LG v35 running Android 10
Mhh, have not much experience with LG phones, but this guide tells me it has the function I am talking about.
Split Screen was it's name.
https://howtodoninja.com/devices/lg/lg-v35-thinq/split-screen-multitask-lg-v35-thinq/
It does support split screen, not all apps have the flags required to allow them to run (actually stay running) at the same time
Though it's not hard to hack an APK and side-load a modified app
Well, if you feel secure to do THAT. I am of no help for you anyways. Sorry 😄
Might just stick to Roomba, lol
I seem to have a thing for expensive ecosystems. All my lighting is a combination of Hue and Lutron
Shit works, though...
I think it really depends on the usecase if "cheap" does it. But I also tend to the expensive ones. Seems to me they often times have (more) functions built in that make sense.
Interesting. I think my deprichated but still running monitor pi-zeros are running blueZ https://techxplore.com/news/2020-10-bluetooth-flaw-linux-kernel-nearby.html
Are any of your neighbours hackers? If not, you're probably okay.
Are any of your neighbours hackers?
if so, can you ask them how I can get my airpods battery status in HA?
My neighbours are drug dealers, probably too high to hack bluetooth. But you never know
They might be - and I live in Vienna - Bluetooth goes to way to the front doors, used one monitor instance to trigger the intercom that I don't have to open the door myself. But I didn't looked into it yet. But it might be intel only

So you mean if someone cloned your MAC address, they'd have entry to your building?
Hi guys! Do any of you recall a method to manage hvac in a coupled manner?
I've tado for heating and samsung clima for cooling (and heat pump if needed). But in this way I've two thermostats in my house.
Using HA? You want to ask in a support channel.
There's no support for Home Assistant here - please look at the other channels for that.
No politics, religion, or any other obviously contentious topics! Please ensure you've read the Code of Conduct (https://www.home-assistant.io/code_of_conduct/), and #rules.
Remember when reporting spam to include a screenshot of the spam and the user's handle (eg @spammer#123)
Yeah is not really a support question more of a brainstorming question. But anyway I'll move on the other channel
'How do I do X with HA?' is always a support question.
Can't argue with that

@deft pewter jep. But there is another door 3m which is always open anyway. Now there is a handle and no need for keys at all
You have to be careful, someone can climb in via the water pipe, or waste, fiber or ethernet, or the electric cable
best to live completely off grid, in a vacuum made of tin foil
or just live where there are no racoons
I hate it when intruders get in via my ethernet.
On a side note
I have seen exhausts large enough on some cars, you could actually climb up and steal vavles
fairly common here
or at least steal the turbo turbine and then steal the valves
or bite some rubber
fbi? this comment right here 
oh no
Oo

@scenic radish I am used to doing stuff in yaml files. So if I can still do that, all good. I need to make a lovelace UI and need support for an arduino via hardware passthrough.
I am either looking to use ESX, in which case I can go many routes, a docker under a VM or a venv install in a VM.
Or use proxmox, which would be the same as those 2 options, with the third being a native docker within proxmox.
Thanks for the tip :)
🤗 @scenic radish
Just posted a post on working with ESPHome (more specifically securing retail devices) https://blakeniemyjski.com/blog/securing-smart-home-devices-with-esphome-and-home-assistant/ 🙂 It's nice to do DYI but not always possible for time constraints
I think most delivery men are going to hate my new doorbell
Ah, so it was you posting that all over reddit this morning.
What happens if you're not in? Will it still say you're coming?
I remember my neighbour did a hand-made doorball 30 years ago that was yelling "gues is coming, guest is coming" (sounds better in my language) with some soviet era parts, it felt magical back then. if I could only appreciate the parts now are so cheap and readily available to do anything you reallly want.
Yeah, it's amazing what you can build for a few bucks now.
or bury for less
@dull chasm being very optimistic this morning I see.
@tidal bronze i try there are three classes
A) those that have ...you
B) those that try me
C) those that dont try .....the rest of them
I should be on B
by no means .... my budget is on nine months to move to new proberty and it is down by 34 dollars .....
Pretty stoked about the new frigate update. Loads of playing to do this weekend.
if john deere wants 6k instead of 4k for downpayment .....then i am down 2k for moving
so big diff in thought process and money
yes i do and will work overtime to make up diff but some do not think 2k is alot of money ..... i do
Anyone tried mill heaters with semi pro WiFi systems? I’m going crazy how bad mill made their wifi setup. You can’t pair it with for example UniFi, need to use a cheap router. Disconnect the cheap router and it then will pair with UniFi. Same issue with all non cheap routers The creators say they use hf120 and hf220 WiFi chip (not esp) and headless connection for connection
@late gate i dont believe there is a place to talk shop about your issue other than #general-archived
Not really ha related so isn’t other ha other things?
exactly to what my point is ......here in lounge that would be lost rather qucikly
Eh, I'd say if it's not HA related #general-archived is off topic 😉
@late gate have you tried beacon control and setting up a legacy SSID?
i dont have a problem with you asking for help but its a long shot @late gate here but you never know ...... someone might have done that before
@tidal bronze jupp. everything I can think off
@clever mortar but you are grumpy soo
you are very very very grumpy and old
Says the other old person 😉
@late gate so this device is on B?
half your old grumpy old farting dust person
it should support all, but I put in on b legacy with no luck
Does it go through initial handshake? Any anomalies reported?
Or does not even hit unifi?
tink you see this younger person ....quad ...he is doing the do
Young ? Lol lightly on Saturdays
half tinks age
guess I need to tail the messages on the ap @tidal bronze
I'm still younger than you old man 😉
Ouch
Yeah, but you saw the Spanish/American war.... so, you know 😛
@dull chasm time to put on your shorty shorts and that pink top and show whats up
@clever mortar at least i paid attention
Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year

and upon the souls that where conqured .....like europe for example LOL
muliple times i might say
wtf happened here?
normal stuff

Did you re-provision after enabling legacy support?
yes, but after making the phone I used was deleted and forgotten from usg it worked, https://www.codepile.net/pile/7NEM1qNJ that makes no sense

maybe its a conflict between the phone used and the module it trying to add

@dusky plank how well does the vmax handle dark carpets ?
roborocks arent really good for carpets, my roomba was definitely better!
that said i believe the „pure“ models are better for this task if you really want roborock @tidal bronze
hi all. I have HA core running in a docker container and I somehow broke my host OS. I had a recent back-up so no problem... I thought. Today I've put a fresh install on my Pi, restored the docker volumes and fired up my docker compose file. But when Home Assistant started I had a lot of stuff missing. As expected it does pick up on the configurations in my yaml file, but the integrations that where set up through the UI aren't pick up. Am I doing something wrong?
I do have 3 roborocks s6 is not great with black carpets. Was wondering if the new one handled them better. @dusky plank
the new i-models of Roomba fixed the "dark carpet" issue, BTW
I have an i7 that works great where my older 980 would gets stuck in a jail of dark red rug 🙂
it's funny because it was perfectly happy rolling onto the carpet, and then couldn't figure out how to get off 🙂
S5 works like a charm but S6 not so much.
software wise theres a night and day difference in roborocks to roombas though
Love for roombas died few years ago for me. Looks like they have upped their game now.
Not everything can be cleaned with a pickaxe you know.
BS
theres also guys running kvm and esxi on raspberrys today
you know, live life to the fullest extend
@static schooner HA support for room/area cleaning with Roomba?
Very happy with roborock except the s6 dark carpet issue. Room cleaning is the way to go.
doesn't appear to support selecting rooms. I always start it from the phone app when I want to do that
I do cleaning based on traffic count per 24 hours. So no meaningless cleaning if rooms were not occupied that day.
otherwise, it recognizes the floor that it's on and respects any boundaries that I set up in the app
yeah, I don't see that in the current integration. interesting thought, though
the map and zone selection component and lovelace card is 👌
only for roborock though,
I don't use the ui at all for anything other than testing.
and I miss the bin_status, roombas have those... 🧐
rn i let it drive to my bin after some cleans...
Same here. Cleaned area exceeds thresholds it come to trash can and waits/telegram.
Missing bin alert is a bummer.
@dusky plank is resume working now ? Haven't touched anything in months.
Pause / resume via HA.
Always wanted to pause on phone ring but can't resume session last time I checked.
hm, this works fine for me
Works on room cleaning/area mode?
yup, says „resume zoned cleaning“ or some gibberish then
Nice. Got some work to do then. Thanks for checking.
fancy map you've got there :)
@dusky plank are you sure you can resume room cleaning via HA ?
just arrived home will try in a few... but i never used the app so 🤷♂️
i have mine around but i can't initiate a room cleaning because i never found what id each room are ...
i can use the app to start a room cleaning, and try pause-resume it from ha if you want
You can user services to find out room numbers. Just gotta try one after the other.
i tried up to 5 and the vacuum just get out of the dock and back in every time... i need to read the dock
the tablet is starting
hello little vaccum 😍
paused
i have a big continue button
yep, resume definitely works fine
"starting to clean, positioning, please wait"
Starting to clean is starting a regular clean up not resuming the previous room clean sequence
"position established" and he left to another room
Yep. That's starting a new clean up.
so the button on the widget i use don't do what it say, i'll try with the service just in case
"vacuum/start_pause". 'MiroboVacuum' object has no attribute 'async_start_pause'
yup, a pause work, but i can't start it without it starting a new one
maybe a "turn_on" ...
Yep same issue
which one you have ? didn't read what you where talking about
S5/s6
