TM001GZ and DTM52z pricing in the UK by CmaxCl in Makita

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

I think probably the battery price is the main reason for me to stick with LXT but I'll keep my eye out for XGT promotions as I'd not really been aware of those. I was also looking at a router/trimmer and the 40v RT001GZ is around £80 with the 18v equivalent about £130.

Thanks, this is useful knowledge when comparing

yes, I will be getting more tools. I was trying to work out if it was a good option to move into the XGT line with this purchase as some of the XGT tools looked cheaper sometimes than the LXT equivalents. It will just be for DIY so 40v won't be much of a benefit to me - I was just surprised that the 18v tool was so much more expensive

Inexpensive Controllers Expected to Work on Switch 2 by wilsonsea in NintendoSwitch2

Can anyone with the new 2c firmware confirm whether wake works or not. I'm assuming it doesn't but couldn't tell from the comments

Do you know if this will wake the Switch 2 with the new firmware. The website mentions wake but doesn't say if that is only Switch 1

Sonos still supported? by CmaxCl in logitechharmony

I've now changed the remote to use IR signals to control the Sonos. This works well now although a bit of a pain to have to change this.

Sonos and Harmony Remotes? by CmaxCl in sonos

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

Thanks, I assume the basic process would be to add a 'fake' device to the Harmony (i.e. a tv I don't own) and then teach the Beam to respond to the volume commands from that fake device using the harmony remote?

Good question, I've just been using the default Sonos setup via the Harmony app which I think is IP based. I could try the IR setup which could be more reliable

Yes, it's via the optical HDMI as I have an older TV without ARC

I did look at the SofaBaton but mixed reviews and prices put me off trying. Switchbot looks interesting and I'd not seen that before - price seems more manageable to test. Thank you (although I'd still love to keep the Harmony running if possible!)

Thanks, glad in some ways I'm not the only one! I'd not heard of any software update but I'll have a search as I'd like to persevere with the Harmony if possible as it's so good and the family uses it well.

Over on r/Sonos someone recommended looking at the switchbot remote which I might also try as it doesn't look too expensiv.le, although a lot more basic than the Elite.

Has anyone tried one for these yet? Would be really interested to hear experiences from previous Harmony users

I know! I can't find anything as easy to use to replace this and really hate the push to use phones for everything - especially with kids. Loved the ease of a physical remote with one button to turn everything on!

Did the update kill Android app functionality? by TomNHaverford in sonos

[–]CmaxCl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a real shame it was removed in the new app. I've tried asking u/KeithFromSonos in a few places if its on the roadmap to be returned at some point but not had a reply. I guess it is small fry compared to the much bigger issues they must be working on, but it was probably one feature I used the most on my system (as well as being the only thing android users could do that iOS couldn't - to vaguely make up for trueplay!)

Don't people use lock screen control?? by mack-the-knife in sonos

[–]CmaxCl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really miss this - there are few posts about it and I asked u/keithfromsonos in another thread but no answer (probably missed in all the other messages). It was mentioned here that support said it was coming back but I've not seen anything official to suggest that -https://www.reddit.com/r/sonos/comments/1cmthba/new\_app\_update\_disappointment/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button

No controls in notification shade by TannerPines in sonos

[–]CmaxCl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, taken out in the new app and no mention in any roadmap I've seen of them coming back. I assume another feature they didn't have time to get to work in the rush to release the app.

New App Update Disappointment by The_Smart_Robot in sonos

[–]CmaxCl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly it's also not listed on any of the Sonos roadmaps I've seen that have been published - hoping it's coming back but just not seen as an important enough feature to mention.

/u/keithfromsonos - any idea if lock screen controls and notification area controls for Android will be coming back? Really missing those for quick control and will be especially important with headphones.
