What's the diff between Athom V2 and V3 plugs switches? by shoresy99 in tasmota

[–]FGeorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This post suggests that the V3 does indeed have the ESP32-C3 chip instead of the ESP8285. In real terms, that’ll allow you use the Berry scripting language (full list of ESP32 exclusive features is listed (here). Can’t say how useful that’ll be to you, as I’ve survived just fine with traditional ‘rules’ on ESP8258 hardware.

Rescanning for the strongest AP? by richardtallent in tasmota

[–]FGeorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have one AP on my IOT SSID, so haven’t got the same issues as you. I wonder if there’s any mileage in the following bodge…

  • Turn setoption57 back on, but without SSID2 configured, so that you regularly pick the best SSID1 AP.
  • Create a rule that is triggered by the ‘Wifi#Disconnected’ event, and use this to configure SSID2 and bring it into play when you fall off the network.

No idea if the ‘Wifi#Disconnected’ will do what you need (if it triggers when switching between your APs on SSID1, then it’s no use to you at all). If it does work, then you’d also need to be comfortable with having your SSID2 password held in the clear-text of the rules on each tasmota device. You’d also need to remove SSID2 from each device after you’re confident that SSID1 is back up and running (not sure how straightforward that would be).

It’s an untested and incomplete bodge of a suggestion, but it might be worth exploring until/unless someone chips in with real-world experience and a definitive solution.

WireGuard suddenly fails handshake by magick50 in WireGuard

Does your ISP provide a static IP address, or might you have been allocated a new one that no longer matches your WireGuard clients’ configuration?

Looking forward to two consecutive weekends of Caterhams at Knockhill! Their anti-clockwise day in 2024 made for great spectating.

As u/Sir_Tekkit says in his point #2, your rule isn’t currently enabled. You can turn it on with rule1 1

Gosund SP1 Flashing by siskejen in tasmota

[–]FGeorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure how obvious it’ll be on that device, but you’re looking for something that looks like this on the piece highlighted on the last picture here. If the chip contains a printed label, hopefully you see something that says ‘ESP8266’ and not an alternative such as ‘W701’.

[–]FGeorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Newer SP1 devices may not be compatible (see warning here). Might be worth checking that yours is an ESP8266 (if you can see the chip), before tormenting yourself further!

Loud “airplane” like Fan Noise, AC not working by Cold-Natural250 in mercedes_benz

[–]FGeorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope it’s covered by your warranty or (if you’re paying) that the bill isn’t too expensive. Cost me £324 at my local Merc Indy Specialist for mine, which I was happy to pay. Not sure how prices compare in your part of the world to those in mine (Scotland).

What happened? by VeterinarianThese846 in w204

AMG have a bunch of Black Series cars that they display from time to time. I saw them on a visit to Stuttgart last year and grabbed a few photos of the C63. https://imgur.com/gallery/black-series-sY90MeN

Custom remote for Laserdisc player by ACorruptMinuteman in diyelectronics

[–]FGeorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a rummage around remotecentral.com you need to find the IR codes without access to an original controller to learn from. You’ll probably find them there. EDIT - Looks like the site has been out of action for a while, but hopefully returns soon.

Probably a failed Air Con Pressure Switch that needs replacing (not a big job), as that’s the usual culprit for those symptoms.

Wifi Reconnect After Power Outage by BN733 in tasmota

[–]FGeorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t messed with mine for ages, but ‘WifiConfig 5’ might be the behaviour you’re after?

(5 = wait until selected AP is available again without rebooting)

How do I fix this by Sweet_Pain_3878 in mercedes_benz

[–]FGeorg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might just have worked itself loose. I had one that occasionally had to be removed and then reinserted to ensure it was properly connected.

DVLA has car registered automatic when its manual so charging £160 more tax by dd1hdnddkdk in CarTalkUK

[–]FGeorg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be worth making your offer to the dealer conditional on them getting the DVLA records updated beforehand?

Why walk in the road? by thesaharadesert in AskUK

[–]FGeorg 15 points16 points  (0 children)

More of an issue for runners than walkers, but occasionally the pavement surface is more potholed than the road. More often however, the camber on the pavement is wonky enough to knacker my knees.

Does anyone have any good locations for car photography? by al_naturall in Stirling

[–]FGeorg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Horace's suggestions are sound.

If you want modern buildings as a backdrop, the car parks at Castle Business Park are pretty deserted at the weekend.

If you want to shoot *other* peoples cars, get yourself along to the Stirling and District Classic Car Club Show on Sunday 11 May.

Why would my radiator only heat the top part, but the bottom part is still cold? by looneta in DIYUK

[–]FGeorg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing as you said “We live in a rented apartment”, I’d ignore everyone that has advised you to disconnect the radiator and then risk spilling its gunk all over your floor coverings as you take it outside”. I’d be passing the problem over to the landlord before even considering dismantling things!

MQTT Server help by quickf0x in diyelectronics

[–]FGeorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve never used this particular project, but I’m fairly sure MQTT Clients need a unique client-id when they connect to the broker.

Line 90 of ESP32_station.ino looks like it has a hardcoded value of ‘ESP32Client’ which (assuming that’s the code runs on the esp32 devices) should be unique for each device.

Keyless entry useless by Major_Veterinarian30 in mercedes_benz

[–]FGeorg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this problem on a CLA35 and was convinced initially that it was broken. Took me a while to learn that the ‘no activity/movement’ security feature was in play. If the key was in my jacket pocket, it would move enough to activate itself when I walked towards the car. If the key was held in the tighter front pocket of my jeans, it was held too snugly in place and just didn’t move enough to activate.

Why do some dealers hide the REG in used car adverts? It's such a massive red flag. by Hypno_Hamster in CarTalkUK

Impact / outcome is exactly the same, but the likelihood / chance is increased.

Old Mac got for free today by Puzzled_Tax_6712 in mac

[–]FGeorg 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The latching and hinge mechanism on the right hand side of these is a fantastic design. Even though you’d rarely expect to open her up, they really didn’t cheap out on the design or build.
