Poor quality is fine, I really just want to catch a game or two that I’ve missed. Probably be listening to it more than actually watching. This looks perfect. Thanks!

Hmmm. I’m not familiar with mad titan. I haven’t been on the kodi train in a long time. Might be worth a look. Thanks!

Oh nice! That might end up being the solution then. Thanks for the reply

Damn. Looked perfect until I saw the date of the most recent replay: February 2024 (the Super Bowl)

I wonder if there’s a setting or filter I can’t see on mobile. I’ll check on my pc when I get home.

Thanks for the reply!

Mostly because I’m lazy. This device was set up before Shelly made it so easy to run offline versions of the native firmware. And I’ve got a handful of devices already running Tasmota, so I’m just resistant to change.

Yeah, Tasmota has ‘setoption19’ to enable autodiscovery, and I triggered it, and it finds a whole host of SENSORS - but none of them are the switches. It does add one entity which is a single switch. But it seems this just correlates to switch1. I’m thinking it has something to do with how I originally set up the dimmer… it was years ago, so I guess I need to dig into my notes and see if I can figure out what options I set on it before I moved it to it’s current spot.

for reference, the data spit out by Tasmota: {“Time”:“2024-08-29T15:17:19”,“Switch1”:“OFF”,“Switch2”:“OFF”,“ANALOG”:{“Temperature”:35.1},“ENERGY”:{“TotalStartTime”:“2021-07-13T17:05:01”,“Total”:37178.152,“Yesterday”:0.000,“Today”:0.000,“Period”:0,“Power”:0,“ApparentPower”:0,“ReactivePower”:0,“Factor”:1.00,“Voltage”:117,“Current”:0.000},“TempUnit”:“C”}

Ooooh! Finally. I have needed something like this to control the volume on my media PC.

I used to have an automation that detects when my HVAC turns on, and it bumps the volume of whatever I’m playing up a few clicks. Then turns it back down when the HVAC cycle finishes. Super handy due to the crazy loud HVAC in my house.

I’ll just add that I’m a fan of valetudo, but it can be a bit more involved than your standard firmware swap. I had to build a pin breakout board, and race against time to root my vacuum because there is an auto-reset programmed into some robots that can brick your vacuum if the jailbreak isn’t finished when the reboot is triggered.

Just read the process through all the way before you decide on device.

I was sweating like I was in the hurt locker when I did mine, because my partner would have NEVER let me forget the time I bought a $900 robot vacuum and broke it before it even cleaned the floor once!

Hahah! This answer works for me, because I was unsure what db0 was. Now I hopefully learn two new acronyms

Yeah… I’m not sure there’s anything more I can do. I’ve added the port forwarding rule to my router. As far as I know, there’s not much else to do.

This is the first time I have attempted to port forward. So there is only one rule: this one. Port 5xxxx:5xxxx to the internal IP with the wg-easy docker container.

Thanks for the reply, but I’ve bailed on this project for now. I fly to Europe tomorrow, so I don’t have any extra time to tinker. I gave Tailscale a try, and it works flawlessly, so I’m not likely to try WireGuard any time soon. I’ll wait for them to try an monetize their “free plan” users.

EDIT: Tried from an external wifi network, same issue. I think it’s my port forwarding is broken/wrong. I can’t see the port being open from outside. Need to do some troubleshooting on that end. Any advice would be welcome.

I will try that today.

For your first question: I went to https://www.portchecktool.com/ and found that the connection is being refused. So I think this is the issue. I will have to dig in a bit more, but I do believe the answer to your 2nd and 3rd question are - yes.

Damn. That sounds perfect. That’s exactly how I was hoping it would work. But for some reason my phone won’t connect… I wonder how to troubleshoot it.

Thanks for the reply. As I said below: when I flip on the wireguard toggle in my phone’s app, it appears as if I am connected, but it seems something is off. I am not seeing the “last handshake on” line, and when I try to navigate to the internet (for example ‘whatismyip’, my browser app times out. So it seems my requests are trying to go through the VPN, but they are getting stuck.

Okay, I thought something seemed a bit odd about what I was doing. So for my use case, I only need to access my home network with my phone, or my laptop. So all I need is a wireguard server on my home network (currently the case, running wg-easy), and the wireguard client on my phone and laptop.

I have that happening right now. And strangely when I am connected to my home wifi I am seeing the “last handshake” information in the wireguard app. But as soon as I turn off wifi and attempt to use my cell network, that line disappears from the app.

Although the frontend webpage for wg-easy still shows my phone connected.

Lets pretend it is connected. You’re saying I could simply type “192.168.3.69/login” into my phone’s browser, and I would see the mineos login page as if I was on my home’s wifi?? Because that would literally be perfect.

Ah, that’s what I was looking for. Thank you. I am not sure if an MQTT signal works well for dimming, but I guess I’ll give it a try, because otherwise I end up with two switches controlling the same set of lights in the same location… not idea.

Thanks!
