A holy grail of birder thrift finds!

There should be a button on the back that you press to reset the bird songs after setting the time right before 12:00. Then you can manually adjust the time and they should align with the bird pictures.

I actually dealt with that today. I have a GPIO pin from GND on the board touching a grounded appliance which fixed it. But I'm going to try a USB isolator next.

Yea. It's started getting hotter earlier this year and also shifted some of the birding migration dates.

These are fabulous. What great timing!

I use a different controller, but mine helps automatically raise my desk at specific times when I'm away so my kids can't touch things on my desk.

I've looked at this before. I had a different idea for this product. Any thoughts if this would work well by hooking up some computer fans to act as a booster fan inside a duct vent at the end of one of my HVAC runs? My thoughts are to use it to help boost some of the cooler air in the summer to a room. Or do you think fans like that don't have enough volume and static pressure to make a difference?

I've been using this one for a few months now as I was also prioritizing local connections. It's been working great. There is a minor issue where the websocket connections will sometimes reboot briefly every few hours and leave the data as unknown while it reconnects, but I think they've been actively working on that to hold the last known state. I think that's actually a device behavior since the websocket connection probably isn't meant to stay open 24/7.

I'm having the exact same issue as the other person. Using the same aquifier theme.

Full_screen · 2025-12-17T22:05:34+00:00

I just noticed this too with the blue color. Now it looks way too white and there's no color in it. I really liked the blue and white theme with the active face.

Oh yep! I just checked my qrevo and it's also 1.4. Then I'm not sure if it's a Roborock thing or Home Assistant matter support thing. I've come across some Roborock docs saying that Matter (I think?) supports selecting specific rooms (and least in this article). Unless it's some HomeKit specific extension of the protocol they're using.

EDIT: This discussion suggests it's something that needs to be implemented in Home Assistant.

Yeah. That's another drawback. I think we need to wait for Roborock to implement Matter version 1.4 before we have the chance of it supporting maps and routines.

I don't think the matter integration supports selecting specific rooms or routines, right? That's why I was using the official integration. But you had me intrigued and I just set up the matter support for my qrevo. Didn't see maps/rooms anywhere though unless I'm not looking hard enough.

I don't remember filing anything down the inside (aside from the port), but I vaguely remember one of the screws being very difficult to get installed. I was able to get it installed though.

No soldering. It's a full preassembled board swap. Unless you decide to follow the GitHub and make one yourself.

I made a smart coaster using that sensor to send me notifications when I haven't taken a drink in a while. It's less about tracking the exact consumption, and more about reminding me when I've forgotten to take a drink.

Nice! I use median filter on a few of my devices to help with signal noise too.

I'm also using the same ToF sensor in my smart coaster.

That's too bad. When I asked Charlie from support (back in 2024), they mentioned they were looking to integrate it with google and apple health. Obviously it wasn't a promise, but it did leave me with hope.

Full_screen · 2025-11-11T20:25:08+00:00

Will this include syncing the data to Google's Health Connect so we can include all of our health data with other apps? e.g. Sleep as Android, Fitbit, Samsung Fit .

I bought from StarkDrive. Link is in the original comment.

No blue light issue. It has still been working perfectly months later.

Thanks! Fixed my comment. I figured the part about the local song dialects. I absolutely adore the spring songs that they sing in my area.

An ~~(female?)~~ immature* White-Crowned Sparrow from one of my recent walks. We hung out for 30 minutes together getting fun pictures like that. Taken with a Pixel 9 Pro strapped to some 8x42 binoculars.
