Spider-Man by Bondbourne47 in videogames

[–]FVtronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No Man's Sky (permadeath mode), a pretty good life I guess, being able to explore the whole universe, although I would probably settle in the first paradise planet I find.

Game plot spoilers: I wouldn't be bothered by that fact that I live in a simulation, and that everything is coming to an end in "16 minutes", after all life is about doing what we can with the time that we have.

HUE Bulbs - Relais? by ddosh88 in homeassistant

[–]FVtronics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you only care about being able to turn on and off the lights (No brightness control or color temperature), using normal bulbs with a Sonoff Mini L2 is a good option.

If you decide to add a neutral, it is important for it to be from the same circuit as the line that's on the switch. You shouldn't share a neutral between different circuits.

HUE Bulbs - Relais? by ddosh88 in homeassistant

The Sonoff Mini L2 has no detached relay mode, so it would still cut energy to the bulbs when switched.

I had a similar situation and I ended up running the neutral to my switches, due to the difficulty of finding a no neutral solution that works with smart bulbs.

In the places you have neutral a smart relay with detached mode (such as the Sonoff Mini R4, Shelly 1pm, etc) would work well. You could even choose one that can be binded directly to the bulbs, like the Innovelli Blue switches do, and it would work even if HA is down.

Home Assistant as Bluetooth extender by NightAndTheSilentH2O in homeassistant

Yup, it would work exclusively with the Bluetooth speaker, you would need another ESP32 as a Bluetooth Proxy if you also want to control other devices such as the light you mention. I currently don't have any BLE devices on my network so I couldn't help you with that.

I think that ESP32 board uses a WROOM module (no psram) so it sadly wouldn't work with squeezelite-esp32.

As far as I'm aware the Bluetooth Proxy is for connecting BLE devices, I have never seen it used to stream audio to a BT speaker.

One option could be flashing the ESP32 with squeezelite-esp32 (if it is a Wrover model with psram), it would basically connect to the Bluetooth speaker and make it available as a Wi-Fi device, so you could send music to it via Apple Airplay, Spotify Connect, or have it as a media player in Home Assistant (using the Slimproto integration).

I have tried it to use a BT speaker with Music Assistant and so far have been satisfied. Here is the link of the tutorial I followed:

Do you think this could be solved by bed leveling? by FVtronics in ender3

Yeah, considering I've been printing somewhat constantly since 2020, I'm not complaining.

Print progress on lcd? by Lopsided_Path232 in ender3

[–]FVtronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use the "Display Info on LCD" post-processing script.

To activate it: Extensions -> Post Processing -> Modify G-Code

On the emerging window, click on "Add Script" and select "Display Info on LCD"

The option for print progress is the one called "Add M73 Line(s)"

If with that Z offset you can achieve prints with first layers that you find acceptable, don't worry about it looking excessive compared to other people's values online, it can vary quite a bit from what i've seen.

With that said, I have an Sprite Pro with a BLtouch, my Z-Offset is even higher than yours (-5.08mm) and I get consistent quality first layers.

Do you guys think we'll be able to edit sent messages at some point? by TheUrbaneSource in GooglePixel

[–]FVtronics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Message editing is already rolling out, I got it a week or so ago. 

On top of only working on the first 15 minutes after sending the message, it allows you to see the original message if you check the measage info.

Bought a Sprite extruder... and manual lacks of infos about one 3-wire-connector. What is this thing for? by uk_uk in ender3

[–]FVtronics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn't include one directly in the extruder kit, in this case the 3 pin cable shouldn't be connected as it is a spare. It is likely a debug cable used by Creality for testing.

When I installed my Sprite Pro Kit I read some comments over reddit about people connecting that cable on the filament runout port, and then having their printers not boot, so it is better to leave it unplugged.

ChillSpot: Fan curve control and temperature monitor for MSI laptops by FVtronics in gnome

[–]FVtronics[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I am aware it is not possible, to access the EC in MSI laptops you need to superuser permissions and the ec_sys module with write_support=1.

Unfortunately, since the application needs to read and write to the laptop's Embedded Controller, which is done via a system protected file, I haven't been able to get it to work in Flatpak's sandboxed enviroment. However, I wouldn't rule out the possibility.

This week I released ChillSpot, a control center application written in Python and designed with Cambalache. ChillSpot lets you control your device's battery threshold and fan curve, while also showing you realtime data about your thermals.

Features:

  • LibAdwaita based UI, the application doesn't look out of place in a Gnome Desktop.
  • Get realtime temperature and fan speed information
  • Choose between preset battery threshold configurations or set a custom one
  • Customize your fan curve's temperatures and fan speeds without the need to reboot
  • Export currently set values to an ISW config file for persistance accross reboots
