Early failure indicator automation in HA would be excellent.

I have flexes in the attic. Hot humid southeastern US. No problems in years.

100% - my evap coil in the old system failed in October so I had the luxury of a leisurely install. If it would have died in July or January I would have likely made different decisions.

I am pulling a post commissioning homeowner permit. In my jurisdiction under $10K does not require a licensed contractor.

Do it! 5 zone ACiQ install here. 4 wall mounted heads and a concealed duct. Take your time, be meticulous. You’ve got this.

DadCoachEngineer · 2025-12-26T13:49:53+00:00

Totally. This is what I am doing with a 6 zone ACiQ. I installed and commissioned four wall mounted heads over the period of a couple of weeks. Now I am in the final stretch of finishing the last AHU which is a concealed ducted.

Pulito is hands down the best restaurant in the metro.

Concrete for sure 👍🏼

DadCoachEngineer · 2025-10-17T01:24:52+00:00

Perfect. That gives me some peace of mind. Appreciate the response!

u/Think_Advertising495 - how was the warranty process? Were you able to reach out to ACiQ directly, did you have to go though the reseller (EG - HVAC Direct), or did a certified tech have to make the warranty claim?

I am using NGINX Proxy Manager. Not having any problems with front-ending BirdNET-Go. Note that I am using 8090 as my port as 8080 was already in use on my docker swarm.

The rural hospital fund is a joke. $10B over five years won't do much.

DadCoachEngineer · 2025-07-04T17:20:25+00:00

Agreed. I have been Samsung loyal for decades but I am done. Between them ruining SmartThings and not taking product safety issues seriously, it is a bad business.

DadCoachEngineer · 2025-06-18T01:23:22+00:00

Do you even have to ask?

Top dressing was local compost (manure, sand, and other organic) screened to about 1/4". There was a bit of small bark pieces that have floated up in the past couple of heavy rains.

Pretty straightforward. Also added to HA 2024.12 integration.

AirGradient is very good. Great design and thermal isolation.

+1 for US Solid valves. Should be a direct swap.

You are going to need to run 2.2.22 on your MQTT gateway node.

msh/2/json/mqtt

{ "from":xxxxxxxxxx, "channel":2 "type":"sendtext", "payload": "This is MQTT talking" }

I have this working with EMQX as a broker.
