The +50% cost in shipping to the USA really hurts. If he could work with someone in the USA as a distributor he could really up the number of sales.

I use anydesk for a single pc2pc connection and lately it’s been popping up with a 60 second ad saying like “we’re glad you are using it and you should start paying for a business license.” I use it about once every couple weeks. Like I’m not paying for your shit for a few times a month use.

Best tool I found to help with the setup of mmwave sensors is using these cards.

But for some reason I can’t find where I got the template, I will share mine.

Edit: code blocks are hard in Lemmy.

I made several scenes with each color different for each light I wanted cycled and then made a script call the scenes with restart. Or I have some scenes triggered in node red on a loop.

Yes notifications need an overhaul, we assign devices to people we should be able to choose notify.user as a service and choose the user to send the notification to. That way when we change devices we only have to associate the device with the user again.

Yes create a input boolean for a guest mode and then on your automations you set condition > entity > guest mode > on/off

Oh also you can use trigger IDs for your triggers and then use the choose action and trigger on trigger id.

If it is a power tracking one you should be able to see if it’s being overloaded. Unplug the washer and see if it still turns off if it does then something is turning it off. I really trust the sonoff ones that I flash with tasmota, they are WiFi but they are rock solid and offline. They make zigbee ones too. The sonoff one on my all in one washer never has had a problem.

Check what IP HA is expecting and then check the IKEA hub to see if they match. If you have DHCP turned on for your hub then when you moved it it might have gotten a new IP. Easy fix its the case, just set a static IP on the IKEA hub for what HA expects and then restart the integration.

My thoughts were a switchbot, for a non diy version. You put the bot on the laptop power button or keyboard.

Yeah I am using unifi I might have to switch my client if I can figure out how to connect to my existing wire guard setup that I have on my dream machine.

Wired works but because wireless AA needs to use WiFi the VPN blocks the communication. It only works with VPN providers that allow split tunnels which the one I use does not. I use unifi one click VPN which is subscription free.

If I didn’t use wireless android auto I would totally use a VPN at all times but the fact AA refuses to connect with wireless AA with a VPN sucks.

They hired the mushroom guy why hasn’t he just had mushroom added as default or include more features?

For my printer I use a Sonoff S31 flashed with tasmota. I then set it so it can’t be turned off remotely but can be turned on. That way I get the benefit of being able to remote start a print but not being able to accidentally turn it off.

I have a feeling it’s because most are single, living alone, in a basement programming. This is a joke as it’s the only way I can rationalize it because if they had kids they would understand you don’t want your kids turning on your bedroom lights in the middle of the night.
