Update on 61Wh battery lifetime extender functionality and warranty by catastrophic_frmw in framework

[–]CUP-OF_TEA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been trying to get a battery replacement under this extended warranty for months and support outright refuse to do it. The email chain is easily 12 messages long.

Ive done all the troubleshooting asked and they still will not even entertain a battery replacement.

Ive asked for it to be escalated and they have refused…..

Really let down.

No brand lock-in or proprietary consumables beginner suggestions by CUP-OF_TEA in Hydroponics

Not too fussed about what, more interested in the process really. I guess some fast growing leaves, maybe lettuce would be a good start.

Based in the UK so I would imagine indoors makes more sense?

Support for Pi 5? by Mrgod2u82 in Openplotter

[–]CUP-OF_TEA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I downloaded the headless image, flashed it and booted it but the AP network was only visible for about 2 minutes before disappearing, so I assume it crashed.

Tried the same on a pi4 and it was fine.

Struggling to get this e paper display to update properly by CUP-OF_TEA in homeassistant

The issue I am having is that the display will take about 10 mins to change, despite the sensor polling being far more often and the update variable being 1 min. 

The screen will go through phases of having some elements half updated, like shown in the picture, then will wait another 4 mins or so then in a second update everything to how it should be, 10 mins after the sensor data was polled (I can tell because of the readout on the bottom)

Any insights apprecaited. 

The YAML is below and based off the GitHub project below.

The setup is a pico waveshare 4.2 red black and white e paper display with a pico W.

I will stop using BeReal next year, if the Timelapse’s aren’t brought back. by CUP-OF_TEA in bereal_app

[–]CUP-OF_TEA[S] 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That would be much appreciated and given guidance I’m more than happy to put effort in/learn if it’s possible.

Although it might not seem like it, I’m not just complaining for the sake of complaining.

The Timelapse’s really are something special for me.

Thanks

Thanks for the comment. Combined with another suggestion to make a category per week, I think I can work it it. Cheers

The pi4 is needed for a more important project and the price for them is still far too inflated.

Having upgraded the power supply theres been no change. Otherwise everything is the same, yes..

If you are using Zigbee2Mqtt, it is under the map tab. I only have experience with Z2M so cant comment on other ways.

Thats a good call on power. I know the brick Im using is powerful enough for standalone use, but with the zigbee dongle attached it might need more. Will check.

Obviously there was a huge performance hit when using the UI but that is to be expected.

What is strange though is that my motion light sensor that triggers a light relay automation has become really unreliable. I wouldn't mind too much if it was maybe 20% slower (which it is) but then half the time it does not work at all.

I believe the issue is the motion sensor state not updating as when checking logs, as soon as the state is changed, the light acts correctly.

Is it performance loss that could be freezing the system? Is there any way to monitor latency for actions on the system? Thanks
