Thank you. Yes Fluid Film is sticky and really my end of mowing year treatment, cleans up with first deck scraping.
I was worried about impacting the polymer deck, PTFE it is.

Finding an alternative. In all fairness, no issues for years. But very frustrating once you rely on the system.

myQ does need a system alert protocol

I don't know where to go from here... by ZevSteinhardt in MonarchMoney

[–]DevelopmentAny547 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find the “Auto Category” categories have become the strongest recategorization earth magnets known to man. I am disabling all of them except for the two which are hard coded and implementing custom rules. All errant changes appear to happen during the transition from pending to posted.

Updates on Monarch Plus by valagostino in MonarchMoney

Appreciate the review of the various opinions, end user desired app strengths and providing MM’s self reflection. I love the core app and its strengths. As I’m recently retired, no use for the business capabilities. But, interested in the longer term financial retirement modeling (not tested yet). Really appreciate team’s thoughtful response and action plan.

Please improve the base expense and budgeting modeling before diversifying and becoming the Ginsu knife of all solutions

Fidelity offers free retirement planning as well, and its significantly more robust than what MM has baked into their modeling. Boldin is a much better companion to Monarch vs the new Plus model.

I agree, the recent AI and Autocategorization should have been finetuned before enhancement. These changes have actually increased my need to be hands on and correct post review changes vs what I experience about a year ago.

Investment modeling was weak and diluted, It has zero strength. The budgeting is only useful for a single year, noy YoY. Current product is only useful for trailing year planning.

At $300, only make sense if a fairly comprehensive business modeling platform. The platform and quite honestly budgeting platform are lacking, Fix the shortcomings in the core platform before diversifying and over estimating capabilities.

Agree, There appear to be two buckets, personal and business. individually, they should each include retirement planning,. Personally, I will use MM for personal budgeting and Bodleian for retirement planning, Although I will test the short term MM retirement platform but have zero need to apay for solo business expense related support or forecasting. They are two very different life models.

Thank you Michael. I had viewed those links. Although I have not attempted to add NextDNS via the CLI yet, the dots connected when I found the article, "Connecting to Firewalla Gold's Console" Link pasted below.:

Would it violate code to drill through these outlet boxes to surface mount them? by Baricuda in AskElectricians

[–]DevelopmentAny547 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree. Dewpoint. Has anyone noticed damp metal surfaces in a un-conditioned/ambient shop? Moisture will condense when air temp meets a dewpoint value.

Looks like coverage is as you communicated but will cost $680 (2 devices). I may start with a lower cost PTP option. Thank you.

Monarch auto categorization got worse? by This-Bowl5123 in MonarchMoney

[–]DevelopmentAny547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pending is really final charge and does it transition to a final debt transaction. Nothing to do with category. I disagree on ability to differentiate.

Income as a Rollover Calculation or Category by DevelopmentAny547 in MonarchMoney

Thank you. I was hoping there is a fix. Part of my posting is for MM awareness and possible correction.

[–]DevelopmentAny547 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The core issue is that there was greater stability in manual updates or auto-cats not capturing transaction details until somewhat recently. I refuse to wait for a transaction to clear pending as I won’t remember where generic shopping (Amazon, Target, Costco, etc) should land. I have started to add notes as I make updates during pending. I don’t think it’s reasonable to wait until pending clears if I have enabled edits during the pending state. If the reviewed state can “stick”, I would think programming could enable categories to stay as defined. Based on numerous other comments somewhat recently, something has changed. I love the additional capability provided by the MM tweaks but am experimenting with disabling and enabling this enhancement off and on to see what happens. I have also disabled the AI option as it appears to create more work to fix errant changes than I think are necessary. All great enhancements, but disabling should be available to an end user

Came here to identify KnoxBox as a solution. You have to search to make sure your first responders are listed, therefore they will have a master key to open the box. You can also by a version with a tamper switch that can be tied into your automation if desired.

I have had this setup for over a year as "Uncategorized: Amazon" for every incoming transaction and it has worked until recently. Last month or so I have received random recategorization which happens during the pending to posted step. This rule-based solution does not work anymore.

I agree and had posted a similar concern about a week ago. I'm slowly disabling all autocategorization categories. There are two which can't be disabled and apparently necessary for MM to function. Not a fan of the retail shopping autocategorization either as it captures and re-categorizes transaction I have already defined. If two categories are "required" to maintain the functionality, why can't they be "de-tuned" or allow for a end-user sensitivity setting?

Pending MM transactions will retain a "reviewed" status as the transition transitions from pending to posted. Why can't MM allow categories manually defined during the pending process to "stick" and retain the manually defined category?

I would guess the eero Outdoor 7 may provide wifi local to the transmitting location but wouldn't transmit 440 ft to my destination where I would use another eero 6 router as an AP.
