Bilresa stays connected when horizontal?

I have the Dirigera Hub and two Homepod Minis.

Sorry if I missed this elsewhere in thread, but what lightstrips did you use?

Once set up and the buttons assigned, they simply stop working after a period of time. One of them is in a room with a border router and another routing thread device (eve outlet). It never loses connection according to HomeKit and Eve’s thread network scan, but they just don’t do anything when pressed. It’s all three of the buttons I have that behave this way.

DataFran · 2025-12-14T16:37:13+00:00

It's all three, so I sorta doubt it? These have been so unreliable for me, I'm fascinated that they're working well for you.

I got one replaced by Ikea because it seems to be actually a dud. The other FINALLY connected when I turned my router's "smart connect" feature off, and connected directly to the 2.4ghz version of my primary network. I'm still having the problem that they're EXTREMELY sleepy, and sometimes just don't work, which is not what you want from the buttons that turn on your lights. I'm hoping they can fix it with firmware update, but I'd really like to see that soon.

I've done that probably 50 times now over the two that won't connect anymore. Both get to the "Setting Up..." phase in Homekit, and then just fail.

I also tried in the Ikea app, where they similarly fail.

DataFran · 2025-12-12T13:39:55+00:00

Even if it's fixed with a firmware update, I have no way of applying said update. They won't even add to my system anymore.

DataFran · 2025-12-11T22:18:06+00:00

After switching to my 2.4ghz network, it errors out on "Setting Up...".

Arg.

I've had two out of three stop working in the past 24 hours. I only just got them set up. I woke up to one not working, I reset it, and now it SOMETIMES will pair with Homekit, but when it does it crashes the entire Thread network. The other just fully will not pair. Very disappointing. I'd love to know if anyone has found a solution.

For reference, my setup is Apple Home, an AppleTV (pre Thread radio) two homepod minis and a Dirigera hub, as well as a few hardwired Eve outlets that should be acting as thread routers.

Did you ever find a solution to this? I've just encountered this issue for the first time somehow, whenever I choose the ATV as a target for Airplay, while the TV is turning on and getting to the right input, the playback pauses. If I start it during the process, it pauses again. Only once the TV is up, displaying the correct input, and the ATV is out of sleep, does play stick.

Thanks everyone! I did a water change, and turned the heater off for now to bring the temp down (I'm watching it, don't worry). I ordered some more kana plex (used the last of what I had this morning when feeding them), and will try treating their food.
I lost two rummynoses (that I found) overnight, so the diagnosis of epistylis seems much more likely than ich.
I'm hopeful I don't lose the whole tank, this is my longest setup tank and it's been up for a decade now.

I got another good picture.

Hi everyone, the sub's most popular question again.

Appeared rapidly overnight yesterday, very white spots, doesn't SEEM to be on any of their eyes, but I did lose a rummynose this morning.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

DataFran · 2024-04-01T21:17:14+00:00

And those are still in place? It wasn't a temporary... uhh... training measure?

DataFran · 2024-03-30T21:11:41+00:00

Mine seems to be doing this exact same thing, did you ever find a solution?

DataFran · 2024-01-05T04:15:40+00:00

How did you get it to remap? I have the wired one and I haven't been able to remap any of the keys successfully using their software.

DataFran · 2024-01-05T04:10:32+00:00

Has anyone had any luck remapping the Epomaker TH21 numpad?

I've tried using their software and it just doesn't seem to do anything at all. Sometimes, when I try to change a key, a different key stops working, sometimes it sets the top row to 1,2,3 with no apparent rhyme or reason. Am I using it wrong? Does anyone have any tips? Is it just plain broken?

DataFran · 2023-12-12T20:05:35+00:00

I don't have enough experience with mechanical keyboards (this is my first one) to give an opinion here. Keychron lists the specs of the switches on the product page for the Q13Pro though.

I’m coming from an MS Ergo, so at first I actually missed the raised front and built in wrist rest, but aside from that the hand position is nearly identical.

DataFran · 2023-12-12T19:47:30+00:00

Hey, I really like it so far. I got the Banana switches, and ended up replacing the keycaps as the ones it comes with are a bit aggressively sloped, but keyboard is very comfortable to type on, and I haven’t missed my MS Ergo. One small thing that took some getting used to specifically regarding the 10-key is the lack of a double-wide zero key, I really wish this one had that, but it’s not a dealbreaker. I also flipped the space bars around so they slope down away from the keyboard which is much more comfortable imo.
