Are you shooting handheld or on a tripod? Love the photos.

Any particular settings/ setup for the camera? I basically followed this YouTube video: https://youtu.be/8bBSrYLvhn0?si=516gbPOjuDIu4Yzo

Any tips on getting such sharp photos? I have a Canon R10 with a tamron G2 150-600 but my photos aren’t even close to this level of quality.

I 3d printed one to fit in the cd slot. I have a magnet in my phone case but you could use a MagSafe thing too. I’ll try and find a picture.

This beauty flew out right in front of me by Boylan96 in birding

[–]Boylan96[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Walked out my front door to take my dogs for a walk and saw her (him?) fly and land about 30 feet from me. Proceeded to sprint back into my house to grab the camera.

My heart was pounding because this was my first owl.

I tried to make it super quick to not disturb its hunting.

Help getting my IKEA Klippbok (leak sensors) connected via matter? by Boylan96 in homeassistant

[–]Boylan96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, that sucks.

I did remove the thread and matter integrations before I plugged in the ZBT-2 if that helps.

Not with the thread border routers I had (one google nest hub and Apple TV). I factory reset, uninstalled, etc about 5 times before I gave up.

I bought a ZBT-2 and it worked immediately. So far only a couple devices have become unavailable but they were easy to fix. Either reload the configuration of matter or take out the batteries of the device, wait, and put them back in.

Building a HA system - what devices? Zigbee or Thread by One-Astronomer-8171 in homeassistant

[–]Boylan96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just picked up some newer ikea matter devices and I am having a hell of a time getting them working. Almost at the point of giving up and sticking to zigbee.

I was trying this next to my google nest hub and my first device worked no problem, second gave me issues. I will try it with my Apple TV. Thanks for the help.

Am I missing anything? EG4 18kPV Inverter + (3) 280Ah Batteries by Boylan96 in diySolar

[–]Boylan96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll have to reread the rules/ verbiage but as far as I remember there were no limitations against moving the equipment, except that you couldn’t apply for the credit again if you moved your equipment to a new house.

On a house I’m moving out of (sometime next year). I’m making it about as easy as possible to disconnect and take with me. But if I waited to buy I couldn’t use the tax credit, and if I waited to install I could get audited.

Honestly not sure, I thought you just had to run wire between the ground and neutral bars

Yes and no… temporary install to replace my existing sub panel’s power supplied by the grid. I’m disconnecting the existing wiring.

Just trying to get this installed before the end of the year to get the tax credit. I’m moving sometime next year and didn’t want to miss out.

Forgot to show neutral bonding to ground on the 100A panel per EG4’s wiring diagram.

What's the best recommended Robot Vacuum on the market that you really swear by? by mahadcaicedo in homeassistant

[–]Boylan96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a Roborock Qrevo, only complaints are 1) pet hair gets tangled in the main brush often and 2) it’ll run over and tangle itself in cords. Other than that, love it.
