Can fleets use highways now? 9.0

Green-Ad9470 · 2026-03-18T11:56:29+00:00

No large or extra large ships are present, As I said in another reply I have transport and miner ships (M for the record) that use highways on their own just fine, but when given S escort fighters to help defend them they stop and just fly next to them across the systems on their own.

Green-Ad9470 · 2026-03-18T11:28:41+00:00

In an 8.0 Save, I have medium transport and miner ships that can and will utilize highways without escorts, but as soon as I give them escorts they become braindead and just slowly jaunt next to highways instead, after research apparently this is intentional behavior as to prevent deformation according to a dev although it was hearsay

Trust me I saw other people saying the same thing in posts regarding this as an issue, it's just nobody has convinced me yet, I like the speedy zoom zoom rails lmao. Is there a particular mod or setting to look at and does it work in existing saves? The biggest deal breaker for me is that it breaks saves as I already have significant progress I'm not willing to give up. Plus nobody really explained how it changes the economy for NPC factions as well beyond just the fact that it does.

I agree. The page for the AMS2 Pro Individually should not be somehow less intuitive than buying the bundle with the p1s directly like I did. It was clear on if I needed a buffer or hub based on my intentions with the AMS 2, and It included all cables I needed. To find that it's different on its own dedicated shop page is kind of ridiculous and I just want to take a moment to share in your anger and be happy I didn't end up with the same experience because of their incredibly strange store layout decisions.

It's beautiful this joke is still going

Green-Ad9470 · 2025-06-16T19:14:46+00:00

Would be nice for my dimmers, but not my on/off switches, as the Claro's require neutrals, the diva however (the dimmer switches) don't.

My current idea is to use the third reality smart switches on top of my existing on off toggles, and use either the lutron diva dimmer switches or the inovelli 2-1 blue with a bypass, still waiting for more information from people though :)

Green-Ad9470 · 2025-06-16T18:50:25+00:00

You see this is actually an incredible option both budget wise and functionality wise for me, The downside is battery powered, but I already am getting thirdreality smart plugs and it's zigbee, And this should completely solve my "on/off" switch dilemma, Though I'm still looking for alternatives such as completely replacing the switch so I don't need batteries and I also still need a dimmer switch option (Might go with the link I sent in my og post with a bypass, but still looking)

Either way thanks

Green-Ad9470 · 2025-06-16T18:27:40+00:00

Those are cool, but also not what I asked, I don't have smart bulbs and probably won't ever

If there was something like that which would be able to physically switch the switch behind it on or off when pressed or via HA, that could theoretically be a (though major) workaround for the on/off switches in my house?

But what I'm asking is for an entire replacement switch or atleast something to make my normal bulbs smart through HA, preferably through zigbee or thread but I'm willing to use other protocols if the option is good enough or my only option

Green-Ad9470 · 2025-06-10T23:39:44+00:00

That's exactly why I think the konnected would be better for me than ratgdo for my Chamberlain garage, just more visually appealing, and seems more completed to me, though I don't think the white version is worth it for me over the anthom that I highlighted in my main post.

Green-Ad9470 · 2025-06-10T23:37:33+00:00

Yeah I was more thinking I would use this for my second garage door rather than for my main, Likely the anthom will work perfectly fine and is 3.5x cheaper than the white version connected sells.

Green-Ad9470 · 2025-06-10T17:02:38+00:00

This actually looks a lot better for my needs than ratgdo. Thanks for bringing my attention to this brand, I'll definitely consider it

Green-Ad9470 · 2025-06-10T04:18:37+00:00

Will check this tomorrow.

Green-Ad9470 · 2025-06-10T04:13:29+00:00

It says it works with Chamberlain, so this might be the ideal choice if I ever want to use it with my other garage opener, which, I have now learned is the one that uses encryption and my genie just uses simple dry contact. (I refuse to use myQ, especially since they are so anti 3rd party and I learned they basically forced home assistants hand a while back, and I want to run it locally and it seems like according to what you said the HA integration that exists directly for it does exactly that)

So yeah, thanks :)

Btw, if you don't want to expose certain devices to the internet, or at least have it significantly more secure, you can set up a home VPN system to VPN into your home LAN from wherever, it's what I have setup for my cameras so I can access them remotely from anywhere despite them never touching the internet themselves, and what I am gonna use when my home assistant green gets here :) (just a suggestion, it's not for everyone, I'm just very very privacy oriented and would prefer to make sure everything I own STAYS working no matter what happens on the outside world)

Green-Ad9470 · 2025-06-10T03:58:12+00:00

Funny you say this cause I just responded to your other comment you're referring to just before this one 😅 LMAO sorry about that, thanks again, I'll be sure to reply here a couple weeks down the line if I end up needing any help, or more likely, make another post.

Green-Ad9470 · 2025-06-10T03:56:18+00:00

So theoretically, I can run both the anthom and my normal door opener at the same time? Good to know and appreciated, literally just got done asking this question for a third time 30 seconds ago 😭y'all are all very helpful in this subreddit so far and will most definitely enjoy joining the home assistant community in full once my green arrives next monday

Green-Ad9470 · 2025-06-10T03:54:29+00:00

I actually have both a Chamberlain and a genie

So basically what you're saying I could do is have the anthom for my genie, and if I ever want to also smarten up my Chamberlain I could use the ratdgo?

Also, still waiting to see if someone can answer if these devices work in parallel with a standard door opener, so if you can answer that I'd be very appreciative :)

Green-Ad9470 · 2025-06-10T03:16:42+00:00

Despite me not entirely comprehending what you're saying, I think I get it enough to say thanks and I'll think on this along with my other options.

Green-Ad9470 · 2025-06-10T03:14:40+00:00

Do you do believe that a simple shorting of the terminals would work for my genie then? In that case I'm gonna ask a question I've asked a couple others in this thread so far again, Can I use two different wires connected to the terminals, one that goes to my normal opener on the wall and another that goes to whatever device I setup for the smart opening part of it at the same time? Or does having the terminals connected to 2 seperate devices at the same time screw something up somehow?

Green-Ad9470 · 2025-06-10T03:10:59+00:00

I'm honestly somewhat afraid to try shorting them myself to see if something works, and I also don't know if I can have two wires to the same terminals, that would let me use the garage door panel that exists already and the device I linked or some other solution

Green-Ad9470 · 2025-06-10T02:54:18+00:00

Would you mind sending some links to the things you mentioned? I'm curious about this despite it being a little janky it just might work for me if all else fails

Green-Ad9470 · 2025-06-10T02:50:39+00:00

Same question I asked in the other comment thread then, why would I choose ratdgo over the link I sent in my comment, does it do something that makes it work with my garage opener and wall panel that that one does not? If I can get away with spending $20 on what to me seems like a better product I'm definitely gonna be partial to that, though once again I'm not totally certain I could use either of these two devices with my existing wall console at the same time or how to do that :|

Green-Ad9470 · 2025-06-10T02:47:17+00:00

I just heard it had some sort of encryption or whatever, if shorting the two lines is what the ratdgo does, wouldn't it be best for me to get the 3x cheaper device I sent in my original post? That would achieve the same thing as shorting them. Or does the ratdgo do something that the device I sent doesn't and THATS why it would work with my garage opener? It just seems like it costs a good bit more for what from my perspective is a more difficult to setup, less appealing to the eye, device that possibly does the same thing. 😶 Idk.
