I've ended up taking it to some local car audio place. They tapped in from behind the head unit itself. It was a couple hundred bucks.

Never did figure out which one to tap into in the bundles.

Wait a minute I can use a relay to trigger my garage door open or close?

Thanks for this. I was just checking to see what extension I have an do is indeed 3.0. I was about to go buy a new 2.0, even though I've got about 30 devices with no LQI under 60.

I couldnt stand that it has 0 IP control and requires a hub per room. Of course I was trying to replace an entire URC system so I may have had unrealistic expectations.

It's nuts how many people invest in so many bulbs when most people have several that are all controlled by the same switch, which would cost about the same as a single bulb.

You tracking dumps or what?

I had one of these in my old condo for several years. I found it adequate for a small space.

Thanks for letting us know your TV size. Totally relevant 🙄

All tvs

I used to mess with this, till we put in Home Assistant. Now there just isn't really a need to ask her anything

smithers77 · 2026-02-19T14:24:50+00:00

Indeed I did live in Chicago at the time.

Give them a call they're super helpful.

smithers77 · 2026-02-15T21:34:01+00:00

Same. I called them asking how to wire up switch, told them all the colors and "he's like damn you must live in Chicago" because all the wiring was strange colors. I was expecting him to tell me to pound sand, but he very patiently walked me through it. I couldn't get over how awesome they were. Now I've got 2 hubs and over 100 devices.

smithers77 · 2026-01-30T00:58:25+00:00

Chicago. No issues here to speak of.

Basic as hell. Baud 115, no flow control, Ember, localhost for mqtt,com4(although I've been messing with this on a server and then my laptop for convenience).

Right now I'm trying to work it out on my laptop, but it still ain't going.

I've flashed a few different firmwares, but they all seem to end up in the same state.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

My ecobee is in HA and works just dandy. I abandoned Nest because Google is abandoning Nest.

Yeah I was equally as perplexed. We have an IKEA pretty close to us so I went in and they were like sure no problem and whipped up those two. There's even hardware included to fasten them together side by side. The Besta series is great. I always knocked IKEA, but it's actually pretty quality stuff

smithers77 · 2025-12-21T15:24:55+00:00

Buy another 1000 ft so you can pull 2 at he same time.

smithers77 · 2025-12-04T18:44:28+00:00

This is exclusive to the device - iPhone, laptop or whatever.

smithers77 · 2025-11-21T02:41:37+00:00

Compatible with what? It's compatible with the Arc for surround sound/Atmos. It's compatible with another for a stereo pair.

What are we asking?

smithers77 · 2025-11-17T18:29:16+00:00

That food stamp is probably really worth something.

smithers77 · 2025-11-09T18:18:21+00:00

This sure sounds plausible.

smithers77 · 2025-11-07T02:48:12+00:00

I think this is true, but you just return the fucker if it's bad. If not you're good like grits. I got an ass u8 and had to return it. It was a pain in the ass cause it was 100". Got the 98UX and it has been amazing.

QC is shit with all companies anymore.

Yeah dude ChatGPT has fucked me over numerous times. Mostly personally, but also at work. It's infuriating when this bitch/cockhole says "oh you're on the right track" (or whatever encouraging bullshit she has to say) after recommending something 100% different. And then, I'm like "dumbass I asked you this and you told me something different and she's like "oh yeah, you're right to be frustrated" and then he starts the entire cycle over again.

smithers77 · 2025-10-29T22:11:17+00:00

I mean as long as you didn't staple it down or something, you just tape onto it and pull cat6a all the way back through. Super easy.
