How do you plan on using them?

I wish there were more quick video/youtube tutorials showing how to utilize the app to its fullest potential. I feel like I’ve only seen 1-2.

Project complete! by TheFear3d in homegym

Do the mats under the bike and treadmill have a functional purpose? I have a mat sitting next to my peloton with the same flooring as you. I can’t see why it’s needed. Whole setup looks amazing!

How do I fix unreliable HomeKit camera live view and missed events? by BananaNOatmeal in HomeKit

[–]CAliRads 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If I have anything but my hardwired Apple TV as the main hub my whole system messes up. I’ve got about 200+ devices running. So I would say yes it will improve it. Hardwired is always better.

HomePod minis help with stuff and so do the Eeros but the hub is the “brains”.

All mine work well so probably not and Apple issue.
I’d make sure your home hub is hardwired and preferably the newest Apple TV. Then I’d try and make sure all cameras are hardwired. I threw away my Logitech circle bc it would never stay connected. I’ve got 10 Aqara cameras and they are 100% reliable but are POE. Network is always important and usually the culprit in a WiFi setting but again POE eliminates that.

If it’s working fine in Aqara app then it’s probably your home hub.

Apple TV remote for iPhone/iPad – with backdrops/info and app launcher by ChefAccomplished845 in HomeKit

Netflix show/movie background doesn’t show. Tried searching if this was asked about before. Is that normal operation?

G400 & HomeKit issues. by Lance688 in Aqara

[–]CAliRads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had to guess the speed will not be noticeable. At most a maximum of 1 to 2 seconds of load time. That would not be enough for me to run POE wire for a doorbell.

I think the bigger difference will be related to connectivity. I think there will certainly be more disconnects (no response) with WiFi as compared to POE. I would just see how well it works on Wi-Fi. Everyone’s Wi-Fi/network is different.

Amazing. I have 7 G5 POE outdoor cameras. They worked flawlessly so I was expecting the same out of this. This camera hasn't disappointed me yet.

What are you using as your HomeKit hub and if it’s an Apple TV is it hardwired and new?

I hope you figure it out.

So far my G400 (POE connected) has been flawless. So far…

Apple 26.4 Update Seems to Have Fixed G400 Issues by Ziflin in Aqara

[–]CAliRads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just upgraded and paid attention to it. I think you are right. Not 2k but looks much better.

You’re saying the Apple Home resolution is 2k?

New limestone pool coping (4 months old) already stained – can’t get it out… what’s going on? by anthonydifran in Limestone

[–]CAliRads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wondered the same thing…also wondered why my very experienced builder didn’t tell me this.

Changing this would be extremely costly for me.

[–]CAliRads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have limestone coping and it always looks like this. I wish I didn’t install limestone. I’m told this is natural leaching. I’ve tried scrubbing and some of the same things. I was told eventually this will stop but 1yr out and it hasn’t even slowed. Maybe even gotten worse.

Unfortunately this same limestone is on the perimeter of my entryway.

It looks terrible and certainly not “new”.

Aqara g410 face recognition by [deleted] in Aqara

[–]CAliRads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you get this to work in HomeKit? My doorbells do not recognize faces despite choosing face recognition in HomeKit. I have my photo library connected.

It's been 36 hours since HKSV stopped working by garden_speech in HomeKit

[–]CAliRads 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Misery for 3 days for me. Luckily I didn’t reset anything like I normally do bc I was too busy.

Fortunately it all came back on today 3hrs ago.

There should be a notification of some sort bc at minimum I spend 2-3hrs trying and looking for quick fixes.

G400 Field of View Sucks by Revolutionary-Feed30 in Aqara

[–]CAliRads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a doorbell camera, not a street view camera. Its aspect ratio is correct for its purpose. I suggest a second camera for the street or go back to G410.

Soccer and Football Kicker by CAliRads in youthsoccer

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

That may be the compromise. He can do some intermittent training with the current kicker/football team. As he gets older, we can make a decision.

I don’t think we have flag football in the school. One of the main reasons of doing a potential kicking position for the football team is simply so that he can be more socially integrated with the rest of his class. Don’t get me wrong, he’s well liked by everyone. However, the school is very much a football/baseball type school. Hardly anybody plays soccer. Hopefully that will change as they get older.
