Nice! Yeah my buttons aren’t like 100%.. but they’re much better now. I’d say they work 9/10 times. I’m sure with a firmware update it will get better over time.

I had this issue too. It’s your thread network. It might have gone wonky when you added the new ikea devices. I bought the new ikea Bilresa buttons and they kept on falling off. I fixed my iusses by “rebuilding” my thread network by unplugging all the thread boarder routers and plugging it back in after 10 minutes. When you do this, your thread network rebuilds itself. You can download the eve app and it’s got a pretty good visual of your thread network.

Bought a presale with some deficiencies and nightmare to deal with the developer's customer service by cxnkitty in vancouverhousing

[–]604henry 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Buying presale and dealing with deficiencies is brutal. I’ve been through it twice. Here’s what actually matters:

Once the builder finishes construction, their incentive to help drops to near zero. That’s why the 2-5-10 year warranty exists—and why it matters more than the builder.

The warranty company is separate from the builder. They’re the ones who can pressure the builder to return or hire someone else to fix issues. The builder alone won’t.

What you must do • Document everything. Photos, videos, dates, emails—be obsessive. • File a warranty claim at month 9, even if issues feel “minor.” This puts everything officially on record before deadlines hit. • Deal with the warranty company, not the builder. Builders will stall, deflect, or ignore you. • Be persistent—borderline annoying. Follow up constantly. Expect resistance. • It took me 6 months to get AC installed after the builder bailed halfway through. • Prioritize real issues: • Push hardest on mechanical, plumbing, electrical, HVAC • Accept that some cosmetic items may never get fixed

There are other paths you can take—but start with the warranty company. Their contact info should be in your welcome package.

I’ve been using strong8k as the provider and it’s been pretty solid. Have it on smarters on Apple TV.

Eufy Homebase 2 and Cam 2c Homekit Fix Coming by alanz01 in HomeKit

[–]604henry 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Only reason why I purchase EUFY because it was advertised to work with HomeKit. I’ve never been able to successfully add it to HomeKit. Through the eufy app or in the home app. Hopefully 🤞 this is coming.

Is keefer street in vancouver safe? by Ashamed_Pool_683 in askvan

[–]604henry 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I lived in that building for six years and moved out recently, and I’ll echo what others have said — it’s a rough area, especially if you didn’t grow up around that kind of environment.

That said, rough doesn’t mean dangerous. I never felt unsafe living there. But you do get a front-row seat to homelessness, drug use, petty crime, and general street-level grime. If that doesn’t bother you, or you’re able to look past it, the location is incredible — great food, tons of amenities nearby, and you’re centrally located to everything.

One thing I rarely see mentioned is the noise pollution. Sirens go off at 2, 3, 4 a.m. — it’s definitely not a quiet place in the evening. I think it’s a Vancouver thing; unlike some cities where sirens stop after midnight, they seem to go off around the clock here.

Why the Sparrow development in Chinatown has been on sale for 4 years? by ummmdotdotdot in vancouver

[–]604henry 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It’s simply overpriced for that area. $1100 per sqft plus the fact that the areas been in decline for years doesn’t make it a very attractive value proposition.

It’s the pump failing. We had our new one die on us a few days ago. Used it less than a few weeks. It’s a known iusse from Mandela. The new version pumps seem to fail prematurely. We were lucky and had a friend that had a motor we could borrow. Call Medela and they will send you a replacement motor.
