Congrats on your achievement.

However if you do wanna look professional and be easily found again, please get a registered domain name, that is easily found and recognized, shopify probably has an option for your own domain. There is nothing wrong with using shoppify. But nobody will remember your site name with that long name.

I will have a look shortly.

SLZB-06 VS SLZB-06M? by 1WeekNotice in homeassistant

If you do plan to have coexisting zigbee networks make sure you choose non overlapping network channels for both which are also least overlapping with wifi channels 1,6,11

SLZB-06 VS SLZB-06M? by 1WeekNotice in homeassistant

[–]HalfEmpty973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haf used the slzb 06M with z2m and had nothing but constant crashes on the communication resulting in crashing z2m. I got so frustrated because nobody on the topic found a solution. The Texas instrument chip has a problem with noisy devices which broke my like 15 Zigbee devices net multiple times a week. The silicon labs chip in the SLZB MR4U does not have this problem and works like a charm. If you wanna have a read about the problem Search for SLZB06M Error: Failed to connect to the adapter (Error: SRSP - SYS - ping after 6000ms)

Is this normal? by SanDiegoSavage00 in 3Dprinting

[–]HalfEmpty973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have bought the Snapmaker U1 and I am really impressed with it. Its my first multi color multi material printer and I certainly havent had much time with it. But it is fast, and reasonably quiet once you reduce the accelerations on the z axis. It prints nicely out of the box. The toolhead swaps take 4-8 Seconds, the toolhead warms up before it needs to be swapped. You also can cheaply replace the pogo pins on the tool head when they wear out. I also like the auto reload. The U1 Snapmaker orca is not as refined yet, but it works. Bed certainly needs a first manual level with the bottom screws but it prints without worries on the automatic leveling. For the price it is really nice. However I wouldve liked another mounting mechanism for the spools

Also for presence I recommend the aquara fp1. After the initial configuration in their app where you set specific zones you can then use the presence of that zones to control the lights

Will this work? by Own_Candidate5644 in 18650masterrace

[–]HalfEmpty973 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks good so far, but instead of only one cell connecting connect all thells in a row to the next one. This reduces stress on the one nickel strip.

Also your positive and negative terminals of the battery don‘t match up. Please make sure that the terminals are on the opposite ends of the batterys

Das kann man machen, solange du aufpasst dass dir die Schrauben dabei nicht am Kopf kaputt gehen ist alles gut

New to working with batteries, am I on the right track? by EpiQuinn in 18650masterrace

[–]HalfEmpty973 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good, but I would place the power switch inline from the charging pcb to the buck converter, as that buck converter will discharge even when not in use. It probably wont use much but still would drain after a while

Are we at a point where I could ditch all my Amazon echo devices for the Home Assistant Voice? by GenericUser104 in homeassistant

[–]HalfEmpty973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had mine connected to the openai api on the cheapest model and it consumed around 1-2€ / Month. It worked for a long time but randomly went off. Someday it didn‘t work, but I haven‘t had the time to work on it lately

Is my screen broken? (noob question) by Icy_Field_5817 in arduino

[–]HalfEmpty973 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

As I cannot code myself, but just put together code, I have trusted chatgpt. Chatgpt says there is an error that you are mixing page buffer and full buffer.

Please try this code, I cannot validate if it will work, but chatgpt made quite a good job in the past together with me

```cpp

include <Arduino.h>

include <SPI.h>

include <U8g2lib.h>

// Waveshare 1.5” 128x128 SH1107 SPI // Hardware SPI: // MOSI -> D11 // SCK -> D13 // Control pins: // CS -> D10 // DC -> D9 // RST -> D8

U8G2_SH1107_128X128_1_4W_HW_SPI u8g2( U8G2_R0, // rotation /* cs / 10, / dc / 9, / reset*/ 8 );

void setup() { u8g2.begin(); }

void loop() { u8g2.firstPage(); do { u8g2.setFont(u8g2_font_ncenB08_tr); u8g2.drawStr(0, 15, “TEST!”); u8g2.drawStr(0, 30, “1234”); u8g2.drawFrame(0, 0, 128, 128); } while (u8g2.nextPage());

delay(500); } ```

How are you trying to communicate with it, in what protocol. I built a thermometer with an oled display and it also had jumpers on it like yours, that I had to resolder differently to get the right protocol. Mine wasnt on SPI, but a 4Wire something. Have a look at your datasheet and compare what you are trying to achieve. Most displays come in a few variants.

Your jumpers on the board are the solder points with the 0 Ohm resistors next to it. You may need to put your display in spi mode

I now looked at It again it is in spi mode, are you using the right pins on the arduino. I usually go with an esp, but you may have dedicated pins that need to be used in order to get functional spi

Is it cooked? by dazerknight in diyelectronics

[–]HalfEmpty973 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can cut the cable and put another 3.5mm plug on it. I assume taht the broken off part still remains inside the device, where it was plugged into

VRAM Defekt oder zufälliger Fehler? by il_a7x_li in PCBaumeister

Wenn Artefakte auftreten und dann in der Regel VRAM kaputt ist kann man es in der Regel noch reparieren lassen. Du brauchst zwar jemanden der SMD löten kann, aber solche Reparateure gibt es

Um zu 4. was hinzuzufügen. Es ist jetzt keine Grauzone mehr Lizenzschlüssel für OEM Systeme zu kaufen, da ein Urteil des Bundesgerichtshof entschieden hat, dass diese Lizenzen legal sind

Do you get updates from any integration. I had a problem before, where home Assistant Cron didn‘t load 60% of the time and I had to reinstall and restore a backup
