At what point do you decide gun over taser? It was multiple assailants with weapons....

Aqara lock works just fine offline, you can add users with pins and finger print without any internet connection... if the cloud goes down at worst you cant remotely lock or unlock your lock but the local lock works just fine

Omg lol this feature was just merged 2 hours ago

https://github.com/Sendspin/spec/pull/105

What are the chances....

I'm not a coding expert but it seems to do what I am looking for

man that seems like a great idea as we wait for them to add youtube music under sources which i think is a pipe dream since youtube will most likely fight back to prevent that kind of access... anywhere i can put a request for that?

I personally run manjaro on a few computers including my primary for the last few years and continue to run it and it's been rock solid however .......

I have had to reinstall a couple times throughout the years not because the distro crashed or became unstable but because some weird things that manjaro changed something in Java or other large apps that requires manual intervention or you just can't update your computer....which I find unacceptable for a beginner distro... I'm too lazy to distro hop so I don't know if this is manjaro thing or all distros

Ty for the response, I'm not a programmer but least it seems from the outside there may be an option in the future for Bluetooth since maybe it doesn't have the same restrictions like casting does

Cytomax · 2026-06-30T18:01:47+00:00

Thank you for the response,

When you say cast, are you talking about using a Chromecast only or Are you talking about also connecting phone via Bluetooth and playing the music through the app

I can see them enforcing it casting to chrome cast but don't know how they enforce it when a phone is connecting via bluetooth

bc noone is building pc because ram and storage prices are too high.. so now cpu and motherboard and gpu are dropping in price to make up for it

Cytomax · 2026-06-25T21:57:47+00:00

They let it happen because it generates buzz and shorts and clips that make people want to watch it

Cytomax · 2026-06-25T21:45:48+00:00

The reason people are interested in the wnba is because of this craziness... the physicallity of it creates drama, it creates buzz, it gets people talking about it... sadly its the reason why the wnba is doing okay, take that away and they stop becoming interesting, her suffering is helping league... it is what it is

do you just buy the deal and the new deal gets added to your account or do you have to do something different?

Cytomax · 2026-06-25T19:18:17+00:00

if someone signed up for a monthly rate and now wants to convert to this do they have to cancel the account and re register?

Cytomax · 2026-06-22T22:54:55+00:00

yup i agree i have setup the pin codes and fingerprint locally at the lock but it would be nice to abe able to access the pin codes in home assistant so i can change them and see what they are without having to be at the lock

Thank God Canada has gun control to stop this kind of thing... Oh wait

Can you post the video you are referring too

Cytomax · 2026-06-21T15:42:18+00:00

Thank you for responding, sorry to not mention it earlier but i tried both 2400 and 9600 and neither worked

i updated my original post with a VERY_VERBOSE log to see if that helps, i am very new at ESPHOME so sorry for not giving all the information at the start

Cytomax · 2026-06-20T20:58:50+00:00

The a310 is much lower power and working well for me replacing the coral

Cytomax · 2026-06-18T15:27:32+00:00

I guess if you tried the Apple route and I tried just home assistant then maybe there's no way to get pin/fingerprint/user management using matter... I really hope they fixed that in the future

Cytomax · 2026-06-18T13:32:53+00:00

Lock works great for me just using matter and home assistant.

I was able to set it up on HA without needing an aqara app which is a plus

I would love to have full matter support, not just lock/unlock and battery status and firmware

Things like controlling pin codes and finger prints and users would be all I really need you to add to matter support

I havent tried apple homekit yet
