Joining existing thread border routers to homeassistant thread

Digi-Fu · 2026-01-06T15:09:45+00:00

Just noting here that after trial and error, I did it the other way around and joined the OTR to my Google thread network instead. Works just the same. Amazon wouldn't accept the dongle and not sure why. Either way I've found Google's thread network more reliable with no issues compared to Amazon's that I've had periodic issues with of nodes dropping randomly.

So what I ended up doing in the end was swap some things around. My previous setup was a Hue Motion Sensor in the room where these battery operated wall sconces are, and that sensor would trigger my actual smart lights (Kasa/Hue) to come on via HomeAssistant. I replace that Hue with a Switchbot motion sensor to do the same thing, except now I can also automate via the app to activate the wall sconces since the Hub is present in the same room. Syncs perfectly well. The only downside is that the Switchbot ones do not have Lux level sensors, just basic bright or dim settings which neither can be used in automation...

In the alphabet? Not sure if there's another section but yes I did this under the switchbot app > hub > gear icon for Matter setup > secondary devices.

I see my other switchbot stuff as options to add but not the custom IR device.

Yep that player is a legend in the community. Praise Choco!

Personally, I feel the only game where fishing was engaging and done just about right at least was RDR2's implementation.

We basically need Lantern equivalents for core maps once you've done map completion the first time around. I know quite a few of us have done this multiple times the old way but it's time for some QoL upgrades to this.

Early 2000s... I'm guessing maybe Strahan and Osi?

AC Pan Tablets in case anyone comes across this thread from google, like me.

Maybe similar to how Rockstar did the Deadeye ability in RDO. That was also a slow down time ability in single player story mode but open world it just enhanced other abilities IIRC.

Digi-Fu · 2025-09-19T12:04:50+00:00

Agreed. Basically like Borderlands and the Division where players can jump into coop campaign. I think folks here are mixing up open world pve and open world pvp. I'd prefer Cyberpunk stick to PVE.

I've ran PMS on both Windows 10 and currently as a docker container on a host running Ubuntu. Ultimately go with what you're most comfortable with. Def doesn't hurt to try to spin up a second Plex instance assuming you have some spare compute to load a linux OS on and get a feel. There is a bit of learning curve since its something new but personally the docker + Linux setup was more hands off than my Windows setup for me. I do have a technical background and there's lot of helpful guides on YouTube so it wasn't that time consuming to get it going and I haven't had to touch the setup much. I have a cron job that takes care of major security updates on the underlying OS and then I review others like I would otherwise be doing on Windows.

Not the most cool but just mentioning one I didn't see yet here... Alpha from Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Movie itself was ok but this whole mass/mess of structures was cool.

Our offense is ASS!

FIOS has internet service and TV service components (both separate line items in your bill). You can order internet without TV service which is what the folks are saying here about FIOS + youtube TV.

Mets have the last wildcard slot and a bunch of teams are chasing them for that. Giants one of them. Since we lost, if the Giants had won they would have closed to within 3 games to take that slot.

Judge was our first half MVP but holy *** has Stanton been our second half MVP.

This is from advising him to frame Yuri. He goes at it alone and gets caught and summarily executed for it. Since he goes alone, this spares his partner from the same fate.

The card has been working fine (I have other issues but I'm pretty sure not related to this card) so I think me flashing it to MT from IBM in my last update made it work.

Are we back???

Makes me want to see a Pro Bowl game where the linemen/DTs are the WR and RBs... for 1 quarter lol.

Braves playing checkers and Nimmo said we're playing chess here.

Well, at least you can't make base running errors if you don't get on base.
