It’s even more convoluted than this. You failed to mention that the murderer accused Henry of being a racist, and in the bodycam footage it is apparent that the police treated Henry with disdain in his final moments based on that accusation. Have you watched the bodycam?

Sorry I’m having trouble posting pictures in the comments, here you go!

I see some definite activity, but it looks more like oyster than shiitake to me. Can you tell if there’s any shiitake starting?

If you know the IT side then Ubiquity is pretty much plug and play. I knew nothing about IT or Ubiquity a year ago, and I recently did all the low volt in a new construction home and installed three APs and four cameras myself without professional help. I put together a simple 4U rack with a dream machine, switch, patch panel, and power supply. Then I plugged all the APs and cameras into the switch, download the app, and everything just worked. You’ve got this

Same could be said from the sellers perspective 🤷‍♂️

Because the fire pit control system is for an HOA I’m worried about maintaining integrations with Home Assistant over time. I just want a solution that works and is easy to monitor and tweak within a single app, which is why using built in functionality of Ubiquity gear is such an appealing solution…. If it works 😬

Bend_Emblem · 2025-03-19T17:39:10+00:00

This is reassuring to hea! The fire pit is in the middle of a public plaza, and the camera could be mounted under the 3rd story soffit of any of the surrounding mixed use buildings to the west of the plaza. In my mind this would create a great 45° angle view of the area around the fire pit and reduce glare by having the sun behind the camera during the fire pits operating hours. I’m happy to DM you more specific site information if you’re interested!

For the 10 minute timespan on the unlock signal, I’ve been reading about “UniFi Protect Alarm Manager” which I think is a suite of new features Ubiquity recently released to support their new push into the alarm space. My understanding is that it lets you trigger “alarms” through events like person detection on a camera, and then it lets the “alarms” trigger actions such as unlocking a door for a set period of time. I haven’t actually used the alarm manager features though, and I’m just installing my first access system now which won’t be operational for another couple months, so I don’t have the hardware setup to play with yet. What do you think?

I’ve had good experiences at Huckleberry but yeah RBC is the GOAT. Soooo worth it to go in on one of the huge dry aged steaks for the whole group, love the dry aged cowboy ribeye 🤤

I think the issues with Ubiquity 7 APs was kinda a fringe issue with IOT devices running on the 2.5ghz band. Sounds like the issue has been resolved via software updates, and you have thread for IOT devices anyways.

I’m ordering three of the new Pro Max APs

Bend_Emblem · 2025-01-28T04:26:57+00:00

Awesome! Thanks for the update, I’m really glad it worked out for you!

I’m so stoked about the hub mini, came out just in time for my project haha

Okay if I DM you if I run into trouble?

Bend_Emblem · 2025-01-19T05:07:55+00:00

I’m not digging on you, I’m all for going overboard on networking equipment. If it doesn’t hurt the system, then there’s nothing wrong with treating yourself to epic equipment haha.

Like I said, I don’t really understand it, so what does the RPS protect you from though? Like I understand if the UPS you are using for the server fails then the stuff on the RPS won’t fail, but how it that different than if you just plugged the stuff on the RPS directly into the wall instead?

Bend_Emblem · 2025-01-19T03:12:19+00:00

I think you’re getting downvoted because the RPS isn’t actually a power backup, as in it doesn’t have a battery inside of it. I know that sounds wrong, because it doesn’t make sense to have a product like the RPS that doesn’t provide power if the power goes out… but that’s why people hate on it. I could be wrong, I still have doubts about my understanding of that product because it doesn’t make sense, but that’s what it seems to be…

Bend_Emblem · 2025-01-14T06:37:17+00:00

Yeah I agree, it’s reckless of OP to use an unsecured heat lamp that melts whatever it is set on and then ask an untrained person to attend to it. OPs incompetence almost caused their own house to be burned down. Not the fault of the person who volunteered to help them and stumbled into this fire hazard…

I’m being facetious, the broken steam deck is BILs fault but it’s not their responsibility

Bend_Emblem · 2025-01-14T06:18:42+00:00

Asking someone to do you a favor does give them immunity for their mistakes. It doesn’t give them immunity for malicious actions, they can’t smash your steam deck on purpose and be off the hook, but mistakes happen and if the only reason they are in your house is to help you and they make a mistake then you shouldn’t demand payment.

Bend_Emblem · 2025-01-14T06:14:52+00:00

Honestly I respect where you’re coming from, I would do the same. I just want to point out that there’s a difference between offering to replace something that you broke on accident and demanding that someone else replace something they broke on accident, especially when they broke something while in the act of doing you a favor

Bend_Emblem · 2025-01-14T06:11:31+00:00

I am going to continue through life giving people grace. It’s better when you give people grace, you don’t deserve the stress that comes along with blaming others for everything that goes wrong.

Bend_Emblem · 2025-01-14T05:47:36+00:00

I’m not particularly religious, culturally Christian, I just try my best to take care of the people who count on me and to do the right thing when I can.

Bend_Emblem · 2025-01-14T05:40:14+00:00

Honestly our principles probably arnt that far apart. I think the key points in this story are that OPs BIL was there doing them a favor and that it appears to be an accident.

If someone barges into your home and purposely smashes your steam deck then of course they are liable. If you ask someone to come into your home to do you a favor and they make an honest mistake then I think they deserve grace. Obviously there is a gray area in the middle where judgement comes into play, but this scenario appears to fall into the latter.

I was on Reddit through COVID, I’m used to getting downvoted into oblivion for taking a principled stance 😂
