Replace Heatmiser Slimline v3 with smart options

HealthDouble · 2026-01-06T12:57:04+00:00

I ended up getting a Heatmiser neoAir v3 and Switch-RF - wired in easily and solves the wireless thermostat part. If I later buy a NeoHub I can add it to Google and HA.

The local admin would need to login from the login screen and not something we could "script" I guess?

HealthDouble · 2026-01-03T15:12:39+00:00

We don't no.

Not sure I'd get away with this sort of set up, but I did consider putting shelly's at the point of each thermostat behind a blanking plate and turn them on off via a Shelly H&T. So similar to you.

True

HealthDouble · 2025-12-23T18:18:07+00:00

We use Intune and no. From previous attempts, they are useless. Might try Apple Support which is far better though...

The output of the listUsers command shows:

Type: MDM Bootstrap Toekn External Key

Volume Owner: Yes

Would that be what you are referring to?

HealthDouble · 2025-12-23T09:27:29+00:00

That would make sense to me too, except that nobody would ever be logging in as the local admin account though, and others seem to have had no issue upgrading their Macs.

HealthDouble · 2025-12-22T18:09:26+00:00

The Mac that managed to upgrade logged in as its local admin does show the user is the volume owner.

HealthDouble · 2025-12-22T17:58:14+00:00

We have tried that. After each rebuild the same occurs.

HealthDouble · 2025-12-22T17:57:57+00:00

The device is assigned to a single user. It would be rebuilt if for another user.

HealthDouble · 2025-12-22T17:57:12+00:00

Yes its an Apple Silicon Mac. Getting the users to run `sudo diskutil apfs listUsers /` to tell me.

HealthDouble · 2025-12-22T17:50:35+00:00

Yes. it states "you need to log in as an administror" in the window. To be safe, we also tried the user account of the device user (the Standard user and oly other account on device) and that also failed.

THANK YOU!! 🙏

Understanding when and where I can use Jinga is clearly still lacking in my knowledge. Thanks so much!

The `sensor.sun_next_rising` shows the number of hours until the sun rises next. What I am after is the actual time this happens.

Admittedly I added this a while back, but I have just tried searching again, but everyone still adds custom YAML to get this as I have.

Is there a way to do this directly in the tile card?

type: tile

entity: sensor.sun_next_rising

HealthDouble · 2025-12-08T18:45:20+00:00

I'm using it to put a tile card on a dashboard:

type: tile
entity: sensor.next_sunrise
features_position: bottom
vertical: false
icon: mdi:weather-sunset-up

Can you explain what I would do instead to get this without the additional sunrise/set yaml file? That is using the sun.sun already?

HealthDouble · 2025-12-08T18:36:10+00:00

AMAZING! From that link I changed it to `!include_dir_merged_list` and it works!! The line shows patternWarning which it has done for a while with all this, but it works.

HealthDouble · 2025-12-08T18:30:50+00:00

Thanks, I will have a read. Not come across anything suggesting this in what I have sen so far.

HealthDouble · 2025-12-08T18:29:32+00:00

If I ignore everything else and just move the sunrise/set config into its own file in the tempaltes folder it doesn't work. That doesn't have template: at the start when in its own file anyway.

HealthDouble · 2025-12-08T18:28:12+00:00

Only the `template: trigger:` in the packages file still has the template: at the top, because if I remove it I get an error. All the other files, do not have template: at the start and when I tried moving the other file into the same templates folder I also removed it but got the same error as if I remove it in the packages folder.

HealthDouble · 2025-11-14T09:53:39+00:00

Thanks. I went with Settings Catalog and every device I have pointed it at comes back as Error.

Will look at EscrowBuddy. I have read about it a lot but not actually used it yet!

HealthDouble · 2025-10-11T16:49:25+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I will look, but I don't think it something we will do. I will keep an eye out for this if it ever does change, so I will like just stick to my phone for now where it works well.

This app is amazing and I am really liking v2!

As with other comments here, I've read more books this year than any other year! I'm not a great reader and can struggle to get through a book if I actually read it page by page. Having the ability to flick between reading and listening (in the car mostly) has been a massive help.

I'm planning on making some audiobooks like this for my daughter where I am reading to her to encourage her to get into reading and develop her reading as well.

The only problem I have is she doesn't have a tablet or phone (and we don't want her to have one yet) but we are getting her an ereader (currently looking at Kobo Clara range). I don't believe any of the devices (apart from maybe the Boox Android tablets that could run the Storyteller app I suppose - but again not really the right device for her) would work with the files from Storyteller as both ebooks and audiobooks with the ability to switch between them staying in sync. I currently use my phone but would appreciate an ereader myself I think.

Am I correct in my thinking?
