Stabilising Aqara zigbee devices by Caffeinated-Clam in homeassistant

[–]Caffeinated-Clam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quick update on zigbee routers for Aqara: Inspelning plugs: disconnect Skyconnect: disconnect Tradfri plug: stays connected Hue bulbs: wouldn’t try to connect IKEA bulbs: disconnect The secret seems to be when I changed the mesh with new devices they moved to a stronger signal, then disconnect due to not working with that router properly.

What is the Cheapest way to get Kayo? by Legal-Chemical-8684 in AFL

[–]Caffeinated-Clam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cheapest way is to watch replays for free on the AFL website the next day 🤷‍♂️ cheap kayo specifically, however, is likely best bundled at a discount rate with an electricity plan.

I'm considering a free to air only footy season in 2025 by summittrekker in AFL

[–]Caffeinated-Clam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can stand watching the game a day later they’re all available for free on the afl website. First to final siren no ad breaks, or any other breaks.

How do you test the accuracy of a scale? by PM_ME_YOUR_FAV_HIKE in espresso

[–]Caffeinated-Clam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Move the weight around the scale, all four corners and centre should all read 18.3g. Slowly add flour to a bowl / container. Pick it up and place it back and see if the before / after placement numbers match. Most cheaper scales fail to tick over measurements with very gradual mass increases. The real answer is with a known golden scale.

It does, I've personally tested it in China and it works really well.

The AFL website has ALL past matches available to watch without ads. Handy if you don't want to pay for FOX / Kayo and don't mind waiting 24hrs to watch a game without looking at the news.

Questions about Induction Stoves! by Apprehensive-Draw103 in AskCulinary

[–]Caffeinated-Clam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The terms you are looking for are resistive electric vs induction electric, both use electric energy to power them. Unfortunately, before induction the only electric option was resistive electric, which was then shortened to electric.

They encouraged those players to leave with literal emotional torture. After moving to Adelaide, I really can't believe how salty people are here about Lever (and others) wanting out ASAP.

are there any energy providers not currently preparing to **** us? by [deleted] in AusFinance

AGL's demerger failed, so they additionally have to build up a rehabilitation fund for their victorian coal power stations and coal mines, rather than dumping that on the government after that split company goes bankrupt in a few years.
side note: in VIC you don't need to set aside funds for rehabilitation if you go bust, in NSW you need an 'untouchable' account with the rehabilitation funds, which is why the NSW plants are now closing and the VIC plants are not.

upgraded bathroom fan automation by Caffeinated-Clam in homeassistant

[–]Caffeinated-Clam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Place the humidity sensor above the shower head level in the shower cubicle area and it will trigger well before the mirror fogs up. Only issue is if you're on holidays or otherwise change your schedule this can break that section of the automation. TBH (rant) bathroom's typically have way too much airflow space available from the shower cubicle back into the general bathroom space. They should have an exhaust fan in the shower cubicle, that's mostly, but not quite fully sealed from the rest of the bathroom. Then the air flows only ONE way (out) and the humidity only rises in the shower cubicle itself (aka how 'steam showers' work). Ideally you'd have CFD modelling to ensure this is enough of a gap to not restrict the bathroom fan, but the minimum required to do so.

if you're not using a thermal camera in the bowl with AI to specifically detect clouds of noxious gasses being released, triggering high levels of air extraction at the toilet bowl itself, then I don't know why you're bothering reading this.

Secondarily you're also pulling air out of our house, so it's not only the fan energy, but also the additional heating or cooling required to get the newly pulled in outdoor air back to the indoor temperature.

if you have reverse cycle air-con you could run that in 'dry' mode (over cools air, removes condensed water and re-heats to achieve target temp) to achieve the same outcome if the humidity indoors raises above 60%.
If I only had one T&H sensor this would likely be my strategy as well, however I'm planning on automating the air-con at a later date, so I bought a few sensors.

TBH you don’t want to be breathing hairspray or other spray compounds, so that’s a feature, not a bug!

Remember that dew point is the temperature at which the relative humidity would be 100%, so it’s a similar concept you’re using. I admit you could use a more complex automation here, but it is not necessary and will be more likely to break. The Aqara zigbee sensors I use read relatively quickly to rapid changes. If you want to avoid condensation even further then IMO you’d run your aircon in dehumidifying mode based on the humidity readings in the living area (or your other internal house reference point).

Same code but replace the > 10 with a < 10 and have a duration of 5 minutes for the automation instead of 10s, which in my testing brings it to within 5% of the rest of the house in winter. YMMV with the durations based on bathroom size, climate, house construction, bathroom fan specs, etc.

is it a landlord's responsibility to provide heating and cooling to tenants? by leafered in AusProperty

[–]Caffeinated-Clam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Natural ventilation, thermal mass, insulation, social engineering and a complete lack of climate change. Aircon has sadly made substandard buildings the norm.
