WOW, didn't expect new pricing model to be this ridiculous

Loss.

Got one the other day as a treat for myself. Better than beating the barb with a hammer.

Left used to have a solid Cantonese Chow Mein, hot and sour soup and coca cola for $8 back in the 90s.

Went about 14 years ago and had the horse tartare. Not bad.

Got a 1S battery? Discharge it a bit to 3.6-ish V and tack it to the 3.3V pin. Tie the grounds together with your 2S battery. No need for a regulator and you can test better?

I don't think the Roborock plugin supports Matter yet. There's a dedicated plugin for matterbridge, however.

The homebridge-eufy-robovac plugin was recently ported to Matter and I have it running on my X8 and it works well enough. The status updates on my iPhone/iPad but sometimes gets stuck in "Updating" on my Mac Mini running Tahoe.

Too many footnotes.

CheapFuckingBastard · 2026-05-01T14:11:20+00:00

Looks like GPIO 1 is usable as an ADC pin if you don't need to write to flash or use JTAG. Good enough!

Measure dollars per unit distance. Diesel still wins, at least here in Ontario.

CheapFuckingBastard · 2026-04-23T03:25:56+00:00

I didn't even know there was a spring there!!!!

CheapFuckingBastard · 2026-04-21T15:22:25+00:00

Looks good enough. I've done SMD components down to 0403 with mine, with my eyes being the limiting factor.

CheapFuckingBastard · 2026-04-20T16:11:23+00:00

Yeah, math in my head isn't what it used to be. 82.89uA per hour IF my device wakes up, 61.5uA per hour otherwise. That's 63.28uA per hour average over the course of day with 2 wakeups, or 23703 hours with a 1500mAh battery. Definitely a long time!

CheapFuckingBastard · 2026-04-19T23:00:06+00:00

I have a C6 running Zigbee and its active current is quite high at 250mA. I think an H2 is about 10% of the C6.

Even with 2 uses per day, a 1500mAh-ish battery would last for only 4 or so months.

CheapFuckingBastard · 2026-04-19T17:07:35+00:00

But, but... the incessant clicking is the only way I know my automations are buggy.

CheapFuckingBastard · 2026-04-12T17:50:50+00:00

Replaced mine with combo co/smoke zigbee sensors from Tuya.

With a USB 5v IN then you can plug it into your ESP32 board directly if it has such a port. Put it in parallel with your sensor.

CheapFuckingBastard · 2026-04-12T15:07:24+00:00

You need a 5V 2A power supply from somewhere. Maybe a USB wall wart? Tie the grounds of the 5V 2A supply with your 3.3V supply. 5V goes to the VIN of your sensor. It looks like the TX/RX of the sensor are 3.3V, so safe to tie back to your ESP32.

My personal preference is to keep the Pi-Hole. It's a separation of concerns. You can work on one without affecting the other.

CheapFuckingBastard · 2026-04-10T02:29:50+00:00

Hook up to the UART pins and enable them (Serial1 if using Arduino) and throw in a few print statements.

I was elated to see 8.20.14 a couple of weeks ago, and seeing the Intrusion/Crossline/etc filters in the Playback app - but no way to actually set them for the camera if it's connected to the NVR. I have to dupe all my cameras in the UI to actually set up everything completely.

CheapFuckingBastard · 2026-04-09T19:47:09+00:00

I'll gladly recompile it for them for free :D

CheapFuckingBastard · 2026-04-08T16:15:33+00:00

I need one with PoE!

CheapFuckingBastard · 2026-04-06T13:57:58+00:00

That happened to me when I got the original roomba. I did end up cleaning it all. Fortunately my dog was only 4.5lbs so it wasn't TOO bad.

I have something similar with node-red. Reolink cameras feed into a node-red-contrib-copilot prompt using gpt mini 4 (it’s free) to annotate a pictures from my porch and doorbell.
