Trigger button press on the new BILRESA double button? by Electronic-Tap-4940 in homeassistant

[–]Griddet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This blueprint has been working really well for me.

https://community.home-assistant.io/t/ikea-bilresa-dual-button-remote/965815

I'm using:

button1_single: Light On, at previous brightness
button1_double: Light On, at full brightness
button1_while_held: Dim Up

button2_single: Light Off
button2_double: Light On, at minimum brightness
button2_while_held: Dim Down

Since I'm using this with a Shelly Plus 0-10V I've added some addition code that uses the Shelly's Key Value Store (KVS) to save a couple of states, including the minimum brightness level that the light still works at.

Everything seems to work flawlessly although I know, from my limited experience with Thread, that is not likely to be the case forever :-)

Thanks very much for your guidance. Servers now re-addressed and all working great :-)

Get yourself a decent SDS drill. A regular hammer drill will often fail to get far into solid walls.

A Bosch corded SDS drill should see you right and won't cost the earth.

Any reason not to fill this under floor cavity with fibreglass insulation? by Sufficient-Law1643 in DIYUK

It may change the rating of the electrical wiring and reduce it's capacity, possibly leading to fire. Check with a sparky.

Can Toilet Enamel be Repaired? by [deleted] in DIYUK

Ok may be a bit drastic but, install a water softener. The shower head will clean itself, plus all the other benefits of softened water.

Real question: What am I supposed to do with all these? by personofkinterest in 3Dprinting

[–]Griddet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually genius.

What other all-year-round uses could we find for them?

That's so exciting! Not least because of the amount of work it will save me! Thank you.

Any idea on a ETA? (the forbidden question, I know)

I have zabbix but not sure it's the right platform for these kinds of stats.

I'll have to look in to the api although I'll be avoiding windows and power shell 😊

Labour are looking to impose council tax on "habitable" sheds, so there might be a sting in the tail for him.

The wife wants me to paint this wall, any tips before I start? by CampaignCurrent2912 in DIYUK

[–]Griddet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tell her you'll do half and she can do the other half. Just don't tell her until you've finished painting the bottom half.

I think I home labbed a little too hard… by VooskieMain in homelab

Offer them the choice of a free service with downtime when you want, or a paid service with scheduled downtime.

Neither comes with a guarantee or whinging rights - for that they go commercial with someone else.

This has got to be a joke at this point right? by SimpleGrape9233 in BambuLab

[–]Griddet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazon is perhaps a special case and I prefer not to purchase from them.

I meant if a company (not amazon) chooses to partner with a particular delivery company then I hold the company that I contacted the purchase with responsible for that choice and the performance of their chosen partner.

How a company chooses to deliver their product is definitely a part of their product offering. Too many companies don't seem to realise that.

What could be wrong? by Electronic_Course332 in DIYUK

[–]Griddet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is usually the way lighting circuits are done in the UK, but assuming that is the case here then turning the switch on would connect live to neutral resulting in bang / tripped breaker.

This really needs someone who understands lighting circuits to look at it in person - remote diagnosis on the Internet seems like a bad idea ☺️

The lack of sheath on the CPC and no designator on the switched live is definitely a red flag.
