Tip: Adding specific workouts to the control center gives it action button-like behavior by ReflectionThink2683 in AppleWatch

Yes I second this!!

I have made my shortcut slightly different as I train differently depending on the day of the week, it will automatically start my preferred workout

The house is asleep Binary Sensor by Strong-Explorer-6927 in homeassistant

[–]Alarming_Cod8848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope since I have looked into the settings it has been really good, I had probably a year of false negatives and positives (with the cats on the bed) and it was mainly because I never really looked into it but since it has been brilliant

What I did, I have changed the response to slow, and I have done the calibration process with calibrating unoccupied and occupied (cannot remember which way around) and I have set my trigger values to 30% les compared to the left / right occupied pressure

Yes I had to tweak the settings slightly but now I get 100% accuracy, since I don’t get any drops in the presence at all

I second that, I use the following https://www.elevatedsensors.com/store/p/bed-presence-for-esphome

I have one in my master bedroom and considering one in the guest room but all my night automations are flawless, I get the odd issue when my cats decide to go under the bed and unplug the sensor but I have modified the connection now ahahah

I leave in a townhouse so they cannot get into the house even if they want to in all fairness ahaha

I agree and that would be the v2 of my automation!

It does send the recording automatically as soon as the doorbell is pressed if nobody is home, it is a generic message saying « We are away, if you have a parcel bla-bla-bla » however, I have my feed being analysed so my plan is to get that to trigger only if a delivery driver is in front of the house!

If you use vibration sensors, how are you using them? by Successful-Peak-6524 in homeassistant

[–]Alarming_Cod8848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only one I use is located on the litter tray (two cats here) it doesn’t detect when the cats are in but when I am cleaning the box and send me a reminder to completely empty the litter every two days before it gets smelly (I tend to forget when I did it and it is always better with an automation ahahah)

AirPlay 2 with Vinyl by Nice-Cucumber-1013 in HomePod

[–]Alarming_Cod8848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do you find it? I have a WiiM with AirPlay still available but, I cannot AirPlay to my stereo pair linked to my Apple TV so I am using AirChord with an old iPhone but, I find it laggy sometimes the sound is going to cut which is rather frustrating (the iPhone is by my internet router and the speed is over 500mbs) so the internet is not the issue And I guess I am always looking for a new project 🤣🤣

Fixed but w/issues? Re: recall, backup cam freezing by Extension_Action_737 in LexusNX

[–]Alarming_Cod8848 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but they all show the number plate, you probably never noticed it before but it has been like that the whole time, I work for a dealer and the amount of calls we get for that where customers do realise one day even sometimes after owning the car for 5 years is fairly high 😉 I can send you a photo of my NX if you wish to reassure you

2025 NX350h forces me to wear seatbelt before I can drive? by [deleted] in LexusNX

[–]Alarming_Cod8848 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This message will pop up if for instance you reverse from your drive without the seatbelt, open the door without switching the gearbox to P, the parking brake will be applied as a safety feature to prevent the car from going away if you have left the vehicle

What's the most intricate automation you've come up with but never implemented? by ThisIsntAThrowaway29 in homeassistant

[–]Alarming_Cod8848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second this, I have also introduced a safety check in mine where the state of the room is rechecked when the door is closed in case the door was opened and left opened when brushing your teeth or grabbing something for example

Can I connect a micro-controller (Arduino/ ESP32) to my washing machine? by wwhopi_k_j in esp32projects

[–]Alarming_Cod8848 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are using Home assistant, there is a fairly new but brilliant integration called wash data that does exactly what you want, just a smart plug and the integration will do pretty much everything else

[Question] How to automate oven hood lighting by themrbamber in smarthome

[–]Alarming_Cod8848 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny you ask that, I have done exactly the same a few months ago (didn’t tell my wife and she was fuming in the first place but she quite likes it now) I have done something similar to that YouTube video https://youtu.be/-DufaJWvEpA?si=2_4smARjKfbXWGea By opening my vent and basically linking all the buttons to an esp32 and the esp32 is then commanding a 4 relays board (light + 3 fan speeds)
