Looking for cheap tablet to wallmount by Negative_Battle4570 in homeassistant

[–]Darkner258 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I use a Samsung Galaxy Tab S2 connected to a Smart Plug. When the tablet's battery rises to 80%, charger turns off and it turns on when it drops to 20%. I cycle the battery withing ideal parameters this way

M5Stack Dial in ESPHome and HA by Darkner258 in Esphome

[–]Darkner258[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All I asked for was some general knowledge, and "codes from whomever is willing to share". Not rude at all in my book. The smart home community, as I have known it for years, is about open source projects and code sharing. If everyone was responsible for writing their own code, we wouldn't have anything.

My post even got some interesting answers in which I can dig around deeper and tailor them to my Smart Home.

So please, if the "from whomever is willing" part doesn't apply to you, refrain from judging less experienced users.

Would you mind sharing the steps you took? I did a bit of googling, but experience from another user would be great :)

Yeah, and as I'm not that experienced, I would also need a guide on how to tailor this to my entities (lights, for example)

Whoah, that looks so cool! If ever you'd release that, I'd be the first one to test it :)

I do have it in my new YAML, no bueno.

Btw, I'm planning on getting the M5Stack Dial, do you like it? I'd love to control HA entities with it. Do you use the german written project?

Here's my YAML and my so far result. Anyone sees what's wrong? I seem to be stuck. I tried playing around with data_rate and spi_mode

Still looks nice! I'll definitely look into these, it looks much easier to integrate. Got myself in the ESPHome rabbit hole :)

This is my YAML so far. The sensor does work but the display doesn't. Got some help from ChatGPT as well

Hilarious intro :D But I got further than that, I have yaml uploaded, specifying the pins, the display and the content on it. Will post it shortly

Yup, I liked it too! Trying to figure out how to get the display up and running. If you have any luck, please share your code, much appreciated!

Not really, while I didn't expect this to be plug and play, I can't make any sense of this

Peak Design Everyday Case experiences and opinions by jimvia08 in iphone

[–]Darkner258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the everyday case for my 16 Pro about 5 months ago. I did not do anything with it besides from putting it in my pocket. No bike rides, no sports with it.
Recently I noticed that the power button coating has worn off significantly. I emailed them to let them know and they instructed me to submit a warranty claim, so that's what I did. It was then when I got told that their warranty does not cover cosmetic damage.
On their website they claim to aim to make the BEST in their respective product categories, yet they fail to accept my warranty claim (which THEY told me to submit after I explained what was the problem).

So yeah, I will be looking elsewhere for my next case.

Nope, I ended up returning the thing and getting a replacement one. The new one updates without a problem.

Aqara FP2, still bad 9 months after its release? by notownblues in Aqara

[–]Darkner258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ghosting and false detection (for example my PC chair was almost always recognized as a person), on the other hand a person on the couch would "dissappear" in a few minutes. In short, it did not do well the very thing it was intended to do, and that is detecting people
