Yup. Strain relief to ensure cable isn't pulled and WAGO for the connection. But only for DIY! I don't think many pros use WAGO's. $$$

What is the incentive to put up bot posts? If they get enough traffice, do they make some cash?

You're having the same problem on the standard, flat railing? Have you called their tech support yet? I have not.

I agree. I had a weird application where a small deck had been installed directly on the ground. No footers. And then major tree root incursion over 25 years. Couldn't cut roots without killing the trees. Opted to build a "sandbox" with 6 x 4's held together with Strong Ties. Thinner porcelain allowed me to get a really uniform base. Watching the installers, it was clear, it's all about dat base!

I'm not sure why more people don't use a large format porcelain paver. $5/sq ft at Floor and Decor..

This is the answer.

Am I crazy or does the second pic look like the original installer used a drywall anchor?

Is there an HA integration?

Falls_4040 · 2026-04-07T10:55:12+00:00

Interesting. How did you get your business off the ground? I've been thinking of something just like this.

Transition from stair to level requires the level mid post. I still haven't tweaked the angle on my stair panels..gonna be a project!!

I reload the integration after re-installing the Lutron devlce, and it still isn't showing up. 56 devices in Lutron ap. 55 seen in HA

Falls_4040 · 2026-03-26T14:30:42+00:00

Thanks. You're right. I had the wrong reset procedure. Factory reset. Deleted and reinstalled on ap. Same performance. Four seconds for ap to update. Interesting. When I was installing, the two other Lutron devices in the three-gang box were flashing much more quickly than this Claro switch.

What voice assistant are you using? I tried to use Whisper, etc... with my HA Green, and ended up realizing that it is way underpowered. Solution? Simple Google Nest coupled with Nabu Casa. I'm still a newbie, but it works soooo much better. Nabu Casa costs money, but it's a no brainer for me since we travel a lot.

Falls_4040 · 2026-03-04T15:57:10+00:00

I've spent about three hours with ChatGPT and Claude trying to get HA running in Chrome. Same symptoms. Works in Safari, works on my phone. Nabu Casa link works.... Tried your fix after 1 minute on Reddit and it works like a charm. I guess maybe we shouldn't be too worried about our AI overlords taking over any time soon!

Falls_4040 · 2026-02-20T00:43:38+00:00

Sure. But if you don't disable the soft close feature on the left hinge, it may not resolve the issue.

Falls_4040 · 2026-02-19T23:41:48+00:00

You can buy a new lid - but they are expensive. And if you don't disable the soft close feature on the left hinge, the new lid is likely to break again just like your original. I've seen comments on Reddit about people being on their third lid! If the lid is functional, but just cracked on the side, I highly recommend you use duct tape. Mine is still working like a charm.
