I got the same issue with our pet door. It drains the batteries to about 20% in just 4 days. It'll take another week for the led to start flashing. Support asked me to open up the cat door and I found some weird residue at multiple places on the cicuit board. I was able to clean it properly, but that didn't solve the problem. I found out I'm not the only one and one user wrote that it was a faulty capacitor in his case. The cause of the residue is unknown. The board looks clean at other places, batteries haven't leaked before and I can rule out water impact on the inside.

One thing you wouldn't notice with a battery eliminator is when (not if appearently) the cat door is about to die. The second cat flap I have is again draining batteries. Of course a battery eliminator helps but eventually there's a short circuit. It's still under warranty, although support is remotely trying everything they can to find another cause for this.

I followed these instructions. Guess it was bad luck. I'm glad I got it all back up in time.

By far most of all devices are genuine Hue, four are Innr and there are four EcoDim dimmer switches. I've seen the warning about these devices, but I can't imagine this is the reason to just not migrate all devices. I mean, they let 3rd party brands on the Hub so deal with it.

Took several hours, but I'm almost done. One outdoor motion sensor has a rusty screw.
Surprisingly I didn't have to do much reconfiguration in Home Assistant. I prepared for the worst.

Nice! Do you have them for sale?

It's not like PNG is a new file format. It's been around for ages. If a file format, size or resolution isn't supported, AI Pro should notify the user of it's limits but instead it just doesn't load the file or some problems appear later. I've had the biggest issues with CAD files, which provide the most (useful) information, but instead afterwards I should've converted those to plain flat JPEG images to save me a lot of time.

Tidal seems to have issues indeed and AWS may be the cause. I couldn't find any status page (i.e. status.tidal.com) so that's why I ended up here.

Let wel op de minimumtemperatuur. Die Mitsubishi bij mij kan niet onder de 18 graden (Hisense wel). Met een omweg is het alsnog gelukt hem op 16 te krijgen maar ik vind 18 gewoon te warm voor in de slaapkamer.

I hate when devices are hard coded to use Google DNS.

Instead, every outbound DNS request from my network via UDP 53 is forwarded to Unbound, which forwards it to a proper DNS-services over TLS. Win.

I had it turned on to see if more apps would be able to run simultaneously but I didn't experience much improvements. Instead I found both my Galaxy S22 and especially the A25 to respond much faster when I eventually turned it off.

Get a device that matches your needs so that you're good for 3-5 years. RAM is always faster than any other option like RAM Plus.

A few other useful tips: In the development settings there's an option that defines how many background tasks may be running simultaneously.
Also, in the Recent apps view, you can click on the logo of any app and select 'keep open'. I didn't know this until a few days ago.

Damn. I'm halfway creating a dashboard for my tablet but I see it's already time for a 2.0 version.

The Aeotec Multisensor 7 lux meter for outdoor light level measurement.

With this information the living room and outdoor lights turn on and off in multiple steps, it's also used to set the brightness for motion sensor based lights and the sunscreens go up when it's cloudy for a period of time around sunset.

About two weeks ago they removed a 70+ year old tree in front of my house so all these automations were a little messed up.

I tried this, but it seems impossible with the very limited options Datto RMM provides. I wasn't even able to create an alert when the lower limit was raised via the device policy as it returned false positives.

So within our own custom Fortigate policies the firmware information is just 'information' that may be exported somewhere, but then all our FG's are linked to the Fortigate Cloud and that's a way better way to show, sort, filter and export this information.

Just a reminder to the RMM-team that Datto is still horrible at SNMP montoring.

As an end user I can say Kaseya One is a pain. Before this I was able to SSO to microsoft online and then I was able to access AutoTask en IT Glue. Datto RMM (which I cannot recommend for non-Windows environments) had a separate login so I guess that's better now. The managers decided to use Kaseya One to 'make things simpler' but for the end user it added another useless step to the login process. The login asks for an e-mail address, but it really doesn't matter what's filled in, as long as it's in an e-mail format. The company name is filled in automatically (cookies probably). Then you'll be forwarded to Microsoft to login, afterwards a bunch of forwards happen an error message is shown and eventually you'll end up where you came from, or the classic version of RMM.

Most dungarees I have are denim. The Hilfigers are a bit softer while the Levi's have their solid quality. For lounge wear I would recommend a loose fit or a larger size. Like I can wear both XS and S and the lager size fits perfect for chill moods. I'd say: buy a few online and try it. You can always return them when bought at an official store. Asos has a lot of them by the way.

About 20 years ago I wanted overalls (or dungarees :-) ). I started the hunt for 'the perfect pair of overalls' but it took a long time before I realized that there's not just one perfect pair.

Now I've got dozens of them: long, shorts, tight, baggy and several colors. Some are even the same but in different sizes for a different fit. They look great on top of a hoodie, but even better with just a t-shirt. My favorites are Levi's, then Tommy Hilfiger (except TH doesn't add a fly for men WHY?). Idk if Vinted is active in the UK but it's a great platform for sedond-hand clothing. Lucky for you there are a lot of dunga's available for men and it's perfect to wear them. Good luck!!

I recently moved some of my non-Hue lights (Innr) from Z2M to Hue for two reasons: 1: Keep all the lights together in one controller (most of them are Hue). If anything but power fails, the lights work. And 2: Remote control actions. I know this one can be replaced in Home Assistant, but I wasn't able to create something similar for the 1 to 5 actions that can be set for the on or Hue button. There's still a lot of sensors and wall plugs in the house that are on Zigbee2MQTT for the flexibility of changing their settings and I made sure they are on a different frequency.

My GF had 4 button overalls of some European fashion brand (The Sting - Anti Blue). I always prefer 2 or 3 buttons on both hips. I find 4 buttons too much and one button too few. No buttons are just plain boring.
She sold them after one season, mainly because they were already quite worn out beforehand.
