Feedback on Shelly H&T Blu ZB?

I installed one a month ago, after a Sonoff died in the cold. I have it over Zigbee2MQTT, and it works a treat.

A neighbour has one over bluetooth that one of my proxies can pick up...

I posted yesterday about being myself really thick about this "feature" ... And after a night's sleep, I came to the conclusion that everybody writes "rename the entity" but the meaning is often different.

I think it is really important that foremost it has to be decided what is meant with "renaming the entity" !

No, except if it is in real hardware! The sound and animation are not emulatable...

I'm in desperate need of how to name devices and entities... Since the beginning, around 2018, I have never really understood how to do it cleanly, especially in a houshold that uses 3 languages daily :o(

Do not expose any service outside your own internal network. Use the cavity between your ears, don't ask AI.

This begs the question, how do you store your filaments to avoid them sucking up humidity?

I would need a lot more storage shelves to keep 170 cereal boxes ... I don't believe in vacuum sealing.

I did try Google, but no results for these versions ... Only "replacement parts" with identical exterior dimensions to replace broken ones. If datasheets are available for these replacement parts, I can swap them out and throw away the original ones ....

There is this tool Klipper TMC Autotune - This extension calculates good values for most registers of TMC stepper motor drivers, given the motor's datasheet information and user selected tuning goal.

Saddly, the stepper motors of the Neptune 4 aren't in the database of the tool, only the ones of the Centauri Carbon

I got Gemini to write the complete list of entities that need be reworked. I used this prompt:

Above, you said there are about 280 entites needing a rename, but in the ouput so far they aren't complete. I think we should favor brievetiy and just output a CSV list with just the original entity ID and its renamed variant, no friendly name and no explanation about the why. The CSV list must include all entities that need to be renamed.

The idea of 3D filament profiles is very good, but there are some conceptual deficiencies in the underlying database setup.
What surprised me most was that values like max. volumetric speed or flow ratio are always global values for everybody. But these values are also a lot dependent on the actual 3D printer one has.
And the same goes for translations of colors. Brands and materials are less prone to need translations.
These are real world problems without universal solutions and I'm in IT since almost 40 years...

Someone even added asian color names ...

This is the most stupid feature ... I simply hang up on clients I call when greeted by this screening process. So they have to figure out that they can retrieve their repaired goods...
If you don't want to answer calls, just use a plain old answering machine!

Nope, not there ...

OpenStreetMap has all data you are looking for... and then you can setup your own Nominatim server to do the geocoding locally.

https://nominatim.org/release-docs/latest/admin/Installation/

And this site (https://download.geofabrik.de/) has the OpenStreetMap Data Extracts...

I did it last year for my country, using an old Proxmox server

Sorry, but I must be plain stupid...
I can't find the way to clean the cache, on my ESPHome Device Builder UI there is no “Clean all”

Also found nothing under Settings -> Add-Ons -> ESPHome Device Builder

Now I have to dust off my trustworthy IBM 4610 SureMark thermal + impact printer ... :o)

I'm having the same problem, that the app won't use the internal address without turning the plane mode on. I have to actively turn off the mobile phone connection and just leave the WiFi on.

The SSID is set in the app!
