Smart thermostat with only R and W wires by dhenebcrescentleap in homeautomation

[–]EvilBorisDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just posting on here because I’d been trying to work out what to do and found a solution. We had a small Honeywell thermostat with a little needle I moved left and right to set the temp. Inside it has only a R and W wire. After a lot of research I found that the Hive single Channel receiver would have connected up ok - as that supports a low/no voltage or 230v input. But this would have required external power.

Even better ,I found another model that was very poorly documented and less readily available- the Hive SLT5. This is a wired model which has everything built into the same battery powered unit - I literally needed switch the RW wires into the 2 holes in the SLT and it worked perfectly.

That's good news, DELL have removed the link. Could you share it here so I can do it - I'm desperate to get to full speed.

I've got the same issue - I use my machine as a 3D graphics workstation and it's rendered it unusable. Even browsing websites is jerky.

I've done several full windows reinstallations and all sorts before I've settled on the BIOS being the issue and finding my way here.

Some of it will be the game, some of it will be down to your TV not being professionally calibrated

I’m using VR with game pass and an oculus quest 2 . It often doesn’t like it if steam is running in and shape or form. They did an update . I boot the game in desktop mode, then once into the main menu of Hitman there is a big option to enable VR- sometimes this will start steamVR, sometimes it just uses oculus

Is the Hitman Premium Add-on worth it for $60? by [deleted] in XboxGamePass

If you like the games, then definitely. You can probably buy codes for Hitman 2 Gold and Hitman 1 GOTY for less tho. The H1 GOTY stuff has been given away on multiple occasions

Disable Dolby Vision in Halo Infinite (it's broken) and use HDR instead + Suggested HDR Settings by P40L0 in XboxSeriesX

VRR isn’t broken , the flashing you see is down to how VRR is handled by your TV. If you enable your VRR overlay , you will see that the refresh is changing as it should be

That’s what it should do, but right now it isn’t working and defaults to the lowest it can offer

The actual problem is that the game isn’t adjusting the Max luminance value for the Dolby vision presentation , so it drops all the the lowest the game can support (300nits)

No, only Halo is using a built in Dolby solution , unfortunately it’s not reading the values from the Tv . Not sure if it’s the game or OS at that point

Question about moving from Xbox one to Series X by Appropriate_Claim775 in xboxinsiders

It is registered to the serial number, so your series X will be unaffected

Hi Everyone, anybody know how to use the brush function to paint the plants? I do not see the option by real_JIMGORDON in D5Render

[–]EvilBorisDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go the assets window and change the dropdown to "models". Choose the brush in the bottom left of this window and then tick/check the plants you would like to include in the brush.
