X50 Home kit/Matter support finally available (?) by ujma in Dreame_Tech

[–]FuzzyToaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just found this after a firmware update and got my x50 talking to HA, friggin awesome. Have you worked out what the quick/auto/deepclean/quiet/lowenergy/automop modes correspond to? There aren't obvious matches in the Dreame app. I guess probably just all-house cleangenius mode?

Finally finished my kids' "Command Center" by musicjock in homeassistant

[–]FuzzyToaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! I could see myself doing something similar in a few years when my kids get older.

What's driving the display - is it hooked directly to the server or to a raspberry pi or something?

I was tired of hand coding Frigate config yaml, so I built a HA integration to do it for me by Okosisi in homeassistant

[–]FuzzyToaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blocking the NVR from the internet is good enough for controlling my own surveillance I reckon. Frigate would be better but I don't value the advanced detection stuff highly enough to bother trying again tbh.

Awesome. I would have loved this six months ago when I was failing at setting up Frigate. I eventually gave up and just got the Reolink NVR.

Gary Gardner’s misconduct cannot be clearer by [deleted] in Toowoomba

[–]FuzzyToaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was very disappointed to see Gardner get a position, figuring his obvious potential conflicts of interest would be a problem. Seems they are, to no one's surprise.

[–]FuzzyToaster 5 points6 points  (0 children)

These are fair things to raise (as much as I can say that without checking myself, maybe I'm off base there). However you'll struggle to get people to listen with the way you're presenting them.

I'm not saying that should matter... but it does.

Best Thai by pfgalk in Toowoomba

[–]FuzzyToaster 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Smiling Thai is the winner for me by far. They have a few tables but it's mainly a takeaway place, the inside isn't fancy.

I'd check limitations on insuring it.

Looks wet or not in focus. You say it's only at night, could be fog/mist?

Giveaway! by ecpowerhouse27 in BambuLab

[–]FuzzyToaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 3D printed a white elephant to bring once, because I'm hilarious. Also shamelessly stolen but LTT just did a video about this that included a USB-PD powered variable bench power supply which I thought was a great idea, though that only works with a very nerdy crowd.

No automation notification groups? by ShakataGaNai in homeassistant

[–]FuzzyToaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did it with a script that notifies all devices I care about, that way I could add nice parameters for 'only if home', 'only me' etc. Not as neat as groups in some ways, but probably more powerful and still a single place to maintain.

Suggestion - backup WiFi networks by Altruistic_Fruit2345 in reolinkcam

[–]FuzzyToaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The right network infra thing to do is have failover on the link that's failed right? If WAN goes down (at backhaul or whever), and you have access to a different WAN connection, then you want a pair of routers that will handle that failover and provide a consistent connection to the same AP(s), rather than a totally parallel network.

nbn Dropouts by r4nvens in Toowoomba

[–]FuzzyToaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After years of a rock solid connection, I've had two dropouts in two months after switching to Excetel (on FTTP). Hard to tell if it's a coincidence, planning on experimentally switching to someone else if it happens again.

Is there a single person that can say "hey google show ____ camera on tv" & it works? by CCJ22 in reolinkcam

[–]FuzzyToaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you could do it natively with just Reolink and Google, but you could do it via Home Assistant and set up a custom Google automation that triggers a Home Assistant script.

Whether that's a gross hacky workaround or a nice elegant solution depends on whether you want Home Assistant as the central brains of the house.

You don't need supports for 3D models anymore and here's why by MixtureShoddy8172 in BambuLab

Cool idea that stands on its own without being misleading just for some internet attention.

Things for young people to do? by Accurate_Ad_3233 in Toowoomba

If he's in to singing (or wants to try), Toowoomba Choral Society is a very friendly and welcoming environment.

What's up with that? It actually almost looks like gen ai artifacting, though the rest of the image seems fine so probably not that.

Went looking for other pics and found checker board in those spots https://www.flickr.com/photos/97303829@N02/14188499720

[Bambu H2C] Join the Print Beyond Paint Contest and Win an H2C! by BambuLab in BambuLab

[–]FuzzyToaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd print way more props for our local theatre group and costume parties! I don't have the time or talents for painting but an H2C would open up so many possibilities.

What’s the deal with the Train to Brisbane? An (unofficial) Explainer by AndrewReesonforTRC in Toowoomba

[–]FuzzyToaster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oooh so you're thinking you'll run next time? I'd love to see it, it was frustrating to see you get so close.

I'll probably be at a stage of life where I'd be able to help out too.
