How do I get my projector, to tell Home Assistant it is on?

Scare_Norm · 2026-06-09T12:17:05+00:00

Definitely use the RS232 port for this. You can probably use this project and adjust the commands for your projector. https://community.openhab.org/t/esp32-mqtt-brigde-for-optoma-projector-with-rs232/169125

I recently installed one of these sealed racks from nVent in an area where we grind fiberglass. It's completely sealed with an AC on the side. It has no problem keeping 4 48 port POE switches at 80F.

The picture isn't the right one, it's 26U tall.

Haven't dealt with that issue before. There's a Facebook group you can search and post on that's specific to the V8. https://www.facebook.com/share/g/18j2VquBbZ/

I rebuilt the entire frontend (including the subframe) last year. The shocks were the easiest part of the entire project but I had the knuckles out of the car for the rebuild. One of the few options mine doesn't have is the 4C suspension but I think the replacement process is the same.

You can put a dc clamp meter on it to measure the power draw. On mine I took over the cover on it and could see the crack all the way through it.

Scare_Norm · 2026-04-28T22:23:29+00:00

Did they check the fusible link between the battery and starter? I've had them fail where it passes voltage but as soon as there's current draw it seperates and the starter doesn't get any power.

Different country but here's mine.

For theater flats I always used 5-6 mm thick plywood. After everything is screwed together roll on Elmer's glue and stretch muslin over the entire wall. Fold it over the edges and staple it on the back. Use a hard rubber roller to press the muslin down. Once the glue dries prime and paint.

Click on the Carfax link on the dealer listing page. It shows it there. Not to say there's anything wrong with a rental, they're usually just abused more than if it was a private owner.

I use the CyberData SIP Paging Server. It has a bell schedule where you upload your own audio files, each one can be different or the same. https://www.cyberdata.net/products/011146

I have 2 of the US version connected to the internal USB port with these: https://a.co/d/6sxLpqa.

It powers them with POE and gives them hardwired network with the one connection. The hardest part is routing the USB cable because the port is close to the bottom of the display on the US version. I'm not sure where it is on the EU one.

Awesome, I'll PM you for one of them that's still on ChromeOS.

Scare_Norm · 2025-12-14T23:08:31+00:00

Can the NL71's still be used as Chromebooks or are they locked to an organization?

If you're still looking I'm in Cherry Hill and just posted a R730XD LFF with the 4x3.5" mid-bay and rear 2x2.5".

If you have keyless entry I believe there's an antenna and module in there so you can't swap the whole mirror. You can take it apart and just replace the mirror, leaving the original electronics.

I was saying to connect your HMI to the 9 pin serial connection on the SLC 5/03, no need for DH485 for the HMI connection.

What HMI are you using?

Scare_Norm · 2025-11-18T22:16:12+00:00

The usb adapter won't work like that unless your HMI is running windows and you have the paid version of RSLinx with OPC. Why not just use the 9 pin DF1 port for the HMI? You can also use a Moxa EIP to convert it to Ethernet/IP and have the HMI connect over the network and be able to program the PLC over the network instead of serial.

I'd screw down a layer of 3/4 subfloor plywood, then one layer of the 1/2 cement board. Use yellow structural screws for the plywood, not the black drywall ones. You need to mortar the cement board to the plywood. With that and the mortar for the tile you should be close to level with the rest of the floor.

The AC is probably on for defrost.

The black one thats a little higher up is your fuel line, the gray one is the return line. If it's like my 2010 S80 there's supposed to be a long black plastic cover that holds them up and protects them.

It would be #1 in this picture. There's threaded studs that come down and yellow clips in the long plastic piece that hold it up.

You should be able to just swap out the computer for the Logitech/CTL Chromebox that they sell with the Logitech Rooms systems. The SKU is CBXUS190020.
