Same with many doubles. Yep no smart locks and no locks anyway.

I like to keep all my valuables in a tin burried next to the guava tree.

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

On a side note Sony slowly took over the Bose QC market, such a stronghold gone in 2 years. 🤔

#

Almost never see Bose anymore.

forest edge
#

Bose was kinda upper tier and expensive for a long time

tidal bronze

Yep.

forest edge
#

my truck has bose speakers lol

I've got some QC35II

they're nice

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

#

#

which sucks cause i got all these new toys coming in from amazon to play with

tidal bronze
#

toys? 🤔

#

You a strange dude

subtle pasture
#

What's wrong with ordering toys off Amazon? 👀

tidal bronze
#

Didn't say it was wrong just strange for a guy.

subtle pasture
#

@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

tidal bronze
#

Wondering whether @forest edge meant gadgets 🤔

Toys and gadgets are equally fun and equally acceptable for adult males.

@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?

tidal bronze

SD cards

I'm not looking for SD cards

I bought like 8 of 'em when I got the drone and mirrorless camera

@flat fossil this is what Linux fan boys say and been saying it for years lol

flat fossil
#

doesnt make it false!

#

WSL is proof. at least thats what i read on reddit

#

direct linux support from microsoft

subtle pasture
#

Microsoft literally has no reason to give up on Windows, they're making money hand over fist...

last dirge
#

windows will eventually be a layer on top of Linux

forest edge
#

if ms was giving up they sure taking their sweet time since the 90's

subtle pasture
#

When they stop making money, the argument might have a leg to stand on

last dirge
#

just last year they finally made MSSQL run on linux

#

so you're not even tied to have MSOS

subtle pasture
#

Yes, to sell more copies of MS SQL...

#

They are a money-driven company dude...

flat fossil
#

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?"

subtle pasture
#

if porting SQL Server to Linux means they can sell more MS SQL licenses, they'll do it

forest edge
#

yea well firfox sucks

#

don't use trash lol

flat fossil
#

what do you use?

last dirge
#

and fewer MS Server licenses

forest edge
#

chrome

tidal bronze
#

Firefox?

flat fossil
#

lol for real? i ditched chrome for the same reason as i ditched windows

#

i was assuming you'd say opera or some shit

subtle pasture
#

@last dirge Not necessarily. Because of how Windows Server is licensed, you might still wind up buying the same number of license allocations

forest edge
#

so you left to go to a browser that openly admits to privacy jacking to make profit.. real smart lol

last dirge
#

eh

#

MariaDB

flat fossil
#

fuck i did not know that

tidal bronze
#

I guess I will stick to windows.

last dirge
#

the place I'm working at is migrating off of Oracle because "too expensive" to SQL Server

subtle pasture
#

I use Firefox, ditched Chrome a while back

#

I'd use Chromium Edge over Google Chrome, honestly

forest edge
#

you shouldn't

last dirge
#

they won't do MariaDB because "there's no support"

#

even though they never use the support for MSSQL

#

so...

forest edge
#

curious what the new ms edge is like but what I have works so meh

flat fossil
#

the main reason i went to firefox is i was tired of my browser using 15gb of ram when no windows were open

last dirge
#

edge is way fast

#

I don't hate it

subtle pasture
#

@forest edge It's based on the Chromium Project, like Google Chrome, but with everything Google ripped-out and replaced by Microsoft equivalents.

forest edge
#

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

subtle pasture
#

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..

flat fossil
#

can nubu casa just make a cross platform cloud sync browser?

subtle pasture
#

Google has done some draconian shit with Chrome

flat fossil
#

all tech companies are advertising companies really

subtle pasture
#

Firefox remains my primary browser, though 😛

last dirge
#

most companies are software companies

#

they're just in denial

i think @last dirge works for microsoft

I do not

#

got headhunted by MS a while ago

#

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

Heh, former Whole Foods employee?

yep of many years. now a US federal employee. not sure which is worse

#

Hey, you don't have to sell Asparagus Water anymore...

flat fossil
#

get the fuck out. that wasnt a thing when i was there lol

tidal bronze
#

What's wrong with that?

subtle pasture
#

@tidal bronze The pricetag

flat fossil
#

lol 6 dollars

#

for 3 shoots of asparagus and some water

#

fuck jeff bezos that was his idea

tidal bronze
#

If you are shopping at Wholefoods why would you be complaining about price tag?

subtle pasture
#

Because it's absurd, even for Whole Foods

#

Which means it's pretty astronomically absurd

tidal bronze
#

lol

flat fossil
#

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

subtle pasture
#

Someone did the math and determined that each bottle should cost about $2.35, after store markup

#

Gotta love that 250% markup?

flat fossil
#

the insane thing is that they weren't profitable even with those prices

subtle pasture
#

lol

flat fossil
#

glad i got out when i did. i was strongly considering making it a career

tidal bronze
#

That's like complaining about parking fee in Rodeo Drive. @subtle pasture just makes no sense astronomical or not.

flat fossil
#

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

subtle pasture
#

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

tidal bronze
#

lol how often do you shop there?

subtle pasture
#

Never, but Google is a wonderful thing

tidal bronze
#

Figures.

flat fossil
#

i buy alcohol there because they deliver it and i'm lazy

#

and they cant jack up alcohol prices

forest edge
#

NOOOOOOOOOOO

subtle pasture
#

Rodeo Drive is a 5 hour drive from here, so... not a place I frequent

forest edge
#

my rgb strips came with the stupid reltek chip instead of the esp

subtle pasture
#

Oof

#

This server needs an oof emoji...

tidal bronze
#

@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.

subtle pasture
#

@forest edge What'd you order, so we can all avoid it

forest edge
#

was a Lumary strip. the older ones had esp but like everything tuya based, these already switched

flat fossil
#

@tidal bronze youd be surprised how diverse the whole foods clientele is. I worked at many different stores.

forest edge
#

oh well off to find a diffrent controller

subtle pasture
#

At least the controller is separate

#

You could always grab a NodeMCU and flash it + wire it up

forest edge
#

thing was 15 bucks i wanted it to be an all in one lol

flat fossil
#

my solution to everything. nodemcu

#

flash forward to 80 wifi clients

subtle pasture

#

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

tidal bronze
#

@flat fossil was not talking about WF 🙂

flat fossil
#

oooh

subtle pasture
#

Washer/dryer wound up on smart plugs instead, dishwasher wound up with a temp/humidity sensor instead...

flat fossil
#

thats an interesting idea

#

humidity would be really good for dishwashers

subtle pasture
#

Yup, my dishwasher vents steam a few minutes before it dings that it's done

tidal bronze
#

@forest edge AIO for $15 huh? How did that work out?

flat fossil
#

but one of my cats would for sure sabotage it

subtle pasture
#

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

forest edge
#

the strip is rgbcwww so I guess it's not a huge loss lol

no idea why you would ever fly over KC unless you were in north Carolina or something

tidal bronze

Depends on traffic and routes. Always right above KC when going east and sometimes back west.

#

But technically your Halloween stuff should light up entire northern hemisphere right ?

fml they want 10 bucks for a damn controller I can actually use

#

@subtle pasture My LG TV wakes up over wifi using the WOL magic packet

subtle pasture
#

I did mention WoWLAN was a thing

#

It just doesn't exist on the majority of wireless chipsets, and is very rarely implemented

hushed basalt
#

🤷‍♂️ All I know is it works

#

We were specifically talking about TVs as well so maybe support is more widespread there

subtle pasture
#

It's also possible the TV isn't as asleep as it appears

hushed basalt
#

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.

subtle pasture
#

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

hushed basalt
#

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,

subtle pasture
#

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

hushed basalt
#

I've found it great not needing to use HDMI devices, the lack of upscaling support is a big downside to attached 4k devices

subtle pasture
#

Which honestly gives me more functionality than connecting the TV to WiFi and trying to control it directly

hushed basalt
#

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

subtle pasture
#

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

hushed basalt
#

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?

subtle pasture
#

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

tidal bronze
#

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.

hushed basalt
#

A manufacturer making and distributing a non-smart tv model would probably cost more

#

@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.

forest edge

you know they put power buttons on those things, even on remotes too

last cedar
#

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

forest edge
#

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

last cedar
#

#

I wonder how our cats would react to a racoon

forest edge
#

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

@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.

@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

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

dusky plank

have a look at the homebridge log, debug: true those cams

brisk glen

hmm

dusky plank

it should start the rtsp stream to your atv when you deactivate wifi on your mobile phone

brisk glen
#

oh thats interesting.... the native bypass fails

#

if I let HA convert it.... its still blurred on the bottom but works

dusky plank
#

yeah I believe if you want them to stream via atv they have to adhere homekit video standards

brisk glen
#

so I guess something is slightly off with the unifi protect standards

dusky plank
#

check if resolution/fps are suitable

brisk glen
#

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

dusky plank
#

I only work in 720p/1080 with 30fps in h264 and don't need any conversion :/

brisk glen
#

it does for watch etc

dusky plank
#

in fact, the atv converts the video for you if you are remote

brisk glen

nwaht

ok so lets force a 1080p stream from protect to HA and the apple tv does the rest in theory?

dusky plank
#

yes

brisk glen

wow

I have no experience in RTSP->HA->Homekit
I just do RTSP->Homebridge->Homekit

brisk glen

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

dusky plank
#

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

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

@subtle pasture they all work, just not all rootable to run custom fw

subtle pasture
#

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?

dusky plank
#

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

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

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.

The topic of this channel is:

There's no support for Home Assistant here - please look at the other channels for that.

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.

@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

being a racoon has its perks

anyone want to buy any valves?

@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 :)

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

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.

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

Stole many a man's soul to waste
And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

@dusky plank how well does the vmax handle dark carpets ?

dusky plank
#

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

midnight adder

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?

tidal bronze
#

I do have 3 roborocks s6 is not great with black carpets. Was wondering if the new one handled them better. @dusky plank

static schooner
#

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 🙂

tidal bronze
#

S5 works like a charm but S6 not so much.

dusky plank
#

software wise theres a night and day difference in roborocks to roombas though

tidal bronze
#

Love for roombas died few years ago for me. Looks like they have upped their game now.

@static schooner HA support for room/area cleaning with Roomba?

dusky plank
#

no reg3rts

#

@tidal bronze only for higher priced models

tidal bronze
#

Very happy with roborock except the s6 dark carpet issue. Room cleaning is the way to go.

static schooner
#

doesn't appear to support selecting rooms. I always start it from the phone app when I want to do that

tidal bronze
#

I do cleaning based on traffic count per 24 hours. So no meaningless cleaning if rooms were not occupied that day.

static schooner
#

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

forest edge
dusky plank
#

the map and zone selection component and lovelace card is 👌

#

only for roborock though,

tidal bronze
dusky plank
#

and I miss the bin_status, roombas have those... 🧐

#

rn i let it drive to my bin after some cleans...

tidal bronze
#

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.

dusky plank
#

resume?

tidal bronze
#

Pause / resume via HA.

#

Always wanted to pause on phone ring but can't resume session last time I checked.

dusky plank
#

hm, this works fine for me

tidal bronze
#

Works on room cleaning/area mode?

dusky plank
#

yup, says „resume zoned cleaning“ or some gibberish then

tidal bronze
#

Nice. Got some work to do then. Thanks for checking.

fiery sorrel
#

fancy map you've got there :)

tidal bronze
#

@dusky plank are you sure you can resume room cleaning via HA ?

dusky plank
#

just arrived home will try in a few... but i never used the app so 🤷‍♂️

fiery sorrel
#

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

tidal bronze
#

You can user services to find out room numbers. Just gotta try one after the other.

fiery sorrel
#

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

dusky plank
#

yep, resume definitely works fine

fiery sorrel
#

"starting to clean, positioning, please wait"

tidal bronze
#

Starting to clean is starting a regular clean up not resuming the previous room clean sequence

fiery sorrel
#

"position established" and he left to another room

tidal bronze
#

Yep. That's starting a new clean up.

fiery sorrel
#

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" ...

tidal bronze
#

Yep same issue

fiery sorrel
#

which one you have ? didn't read what you where talking about

tidal bronze
#

S5/s6

fiery sorrel
#

same, s6 black

#

last test with turn_on

#

damn i should have moved to integration or something ... sorry
