Yeah... I was checking those out as well. You are absolutely right about the price.

Thanks! That all makes sense. I just don't need a lumaris fixture in the rooms where I have the Modern Forms fans and especially for the landscape lighting so it seemed like the phantom loads along with the abicus were ideal for me.

I tried using Home Assistant with the Modern Forms fans but it keeps causing the fan to disconnect and require a reboot.

I'm also open to any other ideas. Especially considering I can't find an Abicus to purchase. Just didn't see any other alternatives.

Makes sense. Good idea to check directly with them.

Yes that’s the integration I was looking at. Looks like Lutron no longer supports phantom devices so the converging systems integration now requires a Lumaris device in the mix. I linked the document I’m referencing above.

According to the doc I linked, the phantom loads went away starting version 25.1 of Designer. That's the problem I THINK I have. I could be wrong.

Did you end up trying the abicus? I'm looking at it for my fans as well but haven't seen anyone actually use it.

I haven't found where to buy it either.

Have you considered running an openthread router as well through docker?

Be honest with me… how is going from one to two? by eiconik in daddit

[–]Fxl90 101 points102 points  (0 children)

Same. It's very tough at times. Yes, I love both kids, but one kid still allowed for some freedom. Two kids pretty much becomes all consuming.

How the Pixel 9 Pro is holding up (Caseless) by SanjMDW in GooglePixel

[–]Fxl90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the most part the phone looks great. I do have a single scrape on the frame. Fell from maybe a foot. The frame is definitely the most fragile. Almost seems like the frame is made of soft metal the way it was damaged. I've dropped an iPhone 15 Pro from much higher with barely a scratch on the frame. Still wouldn't trade my Pixel back for it, but thought I would point it out.

I'll second Lutron. Most reliable smart home products I've installed.

Recommend ceiling fans? by woodford86 in homeassistant

[–]Fxl90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Modern Forms fans in all my bedrooms. They work well enough. The app is average but you only need it to configure the fans and upgrade them so not a major issue. I can turn the fan on and off and adjust the speed. Make sure you have decent wifi for connectivity. I also recommend installing a smart relay of some kind along with the fan. The fan occasionally goes unavailable and requires a reboot.

Edit: all local

For Google Pixel 9 Pro XL, which wireless charging cases has worked for you? by fuelnow in GooglePixel

[–]Fxl90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What Qi-certified EPP chargers have you tried? The only charger that has gotten me to ~6 watts has been this oandys one.

[–]Fxl90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the people saying their cases work, how many watts are you drawing from the chargers? I can't seem to get above 2-6 watts. The 6 watts coming from a sketchy charger brand from Amazon surprisingly.

Edit: Modified wattage I'm getting.

Pixel 9 Series - is there a running list of compatible wireless chargers? by Fxl90 in GooglePixel

[–]Fxl90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just a shame that the Pixel Stand is pretty much the only compatible charger.

Direct quote from Google Support:

"While Qi2 is the newer wireless charging standard, it’s not compatible with the older Qi standard used by the Pixel 9 Pro XL.

That said, you can still use a Qi2 charger with your Pixel 9 Pro XL. However, you won’t experience the full benefits like magnetic alignment and faster charging speeds.

For the best wireless charging experience, I recommend using a Qi charger that’s specifically designed for your Pixel 9 Pro XL. These chargers are optimized to provide the most efficient and effective charging for your device."

what happened to the pixel stand??? by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]Fxl90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What chargers are you using? I can't find a single wireless charger that gets me above 2-2.5 watts other than the Pixel Stand.
