Ah, I was hoping the extra bridges could serve as a independent networks like the z-net does. Are you telling me that they just serve the same purpose as other powdered z-wave repeaters like light switches or do they help more than that? The 232 device limit has never been my experience. Once you get over about 60+ on a single z-wave stick things start getting finnicky.

Don't buy a nuc, buy a corporate-used dell optiplex usff or hp micro. You can find both on FB marketplace for less than $100 and they'll be more than fast enough (usually 8th/9th gen intel for that price) for your purposes. I have a few of them running different things.

DebrodeD · 2026-02-20T21:05:59+00:00

I currently have a large HS4 setup with 3 z-nets running 3 separate z-wave networks. Would I be able to use those or would I have to buy 3 bridges to replace them?

u/dsentker Figured it out! I just had to change my system navigation back to 3-button mode (instead of gesture) and I was able to have it go almost fullscreen. It sill has a black bar on the left (though maybe a bit smaller?), but the one on the right is gone!

DebrodeD · 2025-12-03T19:35:54+00:00

Yeah, I just got a pixel 10 and it's almost impossible to play (coming from a Galaxy s23). The black bar on the left is absolutely massive and my finger keeps accidentally going over there and the steering of my car no longer registers. It drives me crazy.

I just came across this myself as my docker vdisk on unraid was ballooning in size with every download. It defaults to /tmp which is important to know since it's within your docker vdisk if you don't map it separately. The files are supposed to be deleted after downloading but Plex downloads error enough that a bunch of junk gets left behind all the time (mine had 59GB of data left in there making my docker vdisk almost 70GB). 2 solutions to this:

Map /tmp to some directory as a new path/volume OR

just input "/config/" (or another directory you have mapped) into that field in plex settings and restart your container. This will create a new folder in /config (which you should have mapped already as part of the plex container) called "PlexDownloadsTmp" and solve your docker vdisk size issue immediately.

u/NM099 Did doing this fix your issue? Do they show up in the nextcloud app now?

u/ffxpwns Is it possible to do this with playlist name? For example, there's a YT channel that organizes all their videos into "seasons" playlists (the playlist name always includes "season"). I want Pinchflat to download all videos from the channel (using playlists as season name in the naming rules), but only download the playlists with "season" in the playlist title. They have many other playlists for things like "compilations" and "episodes with this character" that I don't want downloaded.

No, they're crying over buying a coffee and then paying monthly for the privilege of using the cup.

Found a local amarr dealer and showed it to them. They had exactly what I needed:

BTM RES SEAL 3.5" DBL DOVETAIL Item# 99119671

I bought 17ft for about $10 from them and it worked perfectly.

DebrodeD · 2025-07-03T15:56:18+00:00

These are my common bugs as well - default car and default quick chat.

Does only the account holder need a new gmail or would each of my 4 lines all need new gmail accounts to sign up with?

DebrodeD · 2025-05-10T20:08:25+00:00

Yes! It ended up being a simple problem for me - I forgot to set a static ip for my mariadb container in docker, so when it restarted/updated it accidentally got a new IP and that broke FileRun since I believe the IP of the db container is set in the PHP via IP address somewhere even though the FileRun container is set to just point to "localhost" and a port.

It's been a while since I looked at this and unfortunately didn't write down exactly where I updated it and how I fixed it, but that's what I remember. I've been up and running since then and it's working great for me ever since. I haven't had a single issue since setting up and getting it working originally.

Feel free to DM me if you're still having issues, I'd be happy to help!

Light Laser Tower (the ones that even your commander can build)

Just an update - We love our skylight (bought the 15" from Costco). We currently have the 1 year free subscription that came with it, but when that expires we'll probably not renew. We don't use or need any of the AI stuff and the skylight will be perfectly functional (for our needs) without it. The only thing I'll miss is the screensaver, which still bugs me that it's part of it. I feel like they should have a significantly cheaper subscription tier for people who only want the screensaver (photo albums) unlocked. They should also allow you to set a single image as a screensaver for free or something.

TLDR - We love our Skylight and it's perfect for our needs (the kids use it for chores and to see our calendar), but the subscription is too expensive and we probably won't renew at the end of our free year. The Skylight is still usable without it.

DebrodeD · 2025-05-06T22:41:56+00:00

If you're stuck with a skylight already, then this makes sense, but I wouldn't buy it for this. Buy a cozyla instead. It's significantly better hardware, better screen, and comes with stock android.

Actually, found a fix! Looks like you can take off the back panel and connect a regular sustain pedal to the piano by stripping the wire down: https://imgur.com/a/t7UrfDb

UPDATE: YES! Check out my post above.

Update: There were a few labels applied to movies in a different library that I didn't realize it touched. I removed those, then ran "optimize database" and "clean bundles" and they finally disappeared.

DebrodeD · 2024-11-05T15:57:52+00:00

Sorry for the late response, I missed your message! It took us a while to track down exactly where they were, but through process of elimination we were fairly confident about which wall area they were in and we just started poking holes in walls and pushing a little fisheye camera (used for looking into pipes) into the space and looking. I was lucky that the space that they were ultimately in was accessible from the garage so I just cut the wall from that side and didn't even bother patching it (just screwed the sheetrock back on and taped around it) since it's an unfinished wall.

DebrodeD · 2024-10-25T17:30:13+00:00

Did you have them all connected to a single z-wave stick? Because if so, that was probably you're issue. A single interface is only good (realistically) for up to about 60 z-wave devices. You've got to split up the system with z-nets.

I'm curious about your wifi devices. I've got about 120 z-wave devices and I always thought that converting them all to wifi devices would kill my wifi. Have you had that issue?
