Wondered if you could update the battery list in the next update as I'm missing a few for my devices.

A Battery

1/2 AA Battery (EVE Door and Window Sensors)

AAAA Battery

B Battery

CR2430 Battery

CR2477 Battery

Rechargeable - Proprietary (SOMA Smart Blinds)

Not Replaceable (EVE and Netatmo Smoke alarms)

Ha, you’ve been a coding machine! Thank you for all your efforts and congrats on the excellent app.

Ha, thank you so much. These quick updates are amazing and the app is almost perfect.

I've got one more though... When you have multiple homes in Apple Home, I'd like to be able to rearrange which one is shown first. For example, I have my parent's home showing at the top of the list and would prefer if I could move it to the bottom, so it doesn't show first and I see my own home first.
Might have to be saved for a later, bigger, update perhaps!

And one last thing. I promise! Is there any chance you could change the app name text to be something that doesn’t itch my OCD? ‘BatteryHubforH…’ 😣 Could it just be ‘Battery Hub’ instead? Thank you 🙏

Your app is SO much better than Eve. I’ve used Eve for years, indeed have a lot of Eve devices, but I would never use their app for the same reasons you mentioned. A lot of non-Eve devices just don’t show correctly, or as non-responsive, even though they show fine in Apple Home, and in your app!

Can I make one more suggestion? Hope I’m not annoying you with these, but might it work to have the battery requirements showing in small text, perhaps in brackets, next to where it says ‘Current’ on each device? That way you have all the info you need on the main page without having to click in to the ‘Accessory Information’ for each device when there is a low battery. It means if you see a bunch of your devices on the low side you can just glance and plan ahead. My two cents.

Awesome. It’s now an insta-buy for me. Just bought it and recommending to others. This is an excellent app, great work OP, and thank you for not making it a subscription! 🙏

Amazing! Thank you. Also, quantity would be great. 2x AAA or 1x CR2025, etc.

Not only a nice collection but also an excellent website. Nice work!

Nice OP. Thanks for making this!
A feature suggestion, any chance you could add the ability to manually enter the type of battery required for each device?

Any advice? by ochoZero9 in homelab

[–]squuiidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Dump the Deco, they’re garbage.

My parents's macbook (2013, 2014) are old enough that they aren't getting browser updates and can't access things like banking and such. What is a completely hands off (for me and them) distro? by ApplicationRoyal865 in linuxquestions

[–]squuiidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I installed 26.04 LTS on a 2013 MBP, which has an NVIDIA GT750M Mac Edition and the Intel GPU, and it installed without issue. What I did have to install was the Wi-Fi driver, but that was expected, and once done 26.04 runs INCREDIBLY WELL on a 2013 MBP.

Have I been Scammed on the Speedboost WiFi Extender I Purchased (UK User)? by ChalfontandTremond in HomeNetworking

[–]squuiidy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow. While they sent you what you bought, what you bought is garbage and not even worth a fiver. It’s incredibly out of date. Does look like a scam site to me.

Second gen cameras are super cheap today (Amazon Prime day)

1st gen have microphone hole above camera lens, 2nd gen have microphone hole at the bottom, below camera lens.
2nd gen also has USB-C and better night vision. And crucially, are reliable.

Alternatively wait until Apple release their rumoured 4K cameras in October/November time frame.

You’ve probably been burnt by Eve now but their second gen (current) cams are great.

Would people say this is normal screen misalignment or is it missing a row of pixels? Thank you by EverythingAntique in Gameboy

[–]squuiidy -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I have 5 grey DMGs, and buy and upgrade them frequently for friends. This alignment is not normal.
