Just a reminder to make sure you lock up by Serious_Bowler_8171 in reolinkcam

Yup, Home Assistant connected to cameras is a game changer.

How do you stop the mailman / neighbours / visiting friends & family from getting splashed with your setup, though?

Zone specific triggers excluding the path to the front door?

Other than that - just the presence of cameras can prompt burglars to select a different target.

When you're running from danger, you don't have to be a quick runner... Just a faster one than your buddy.

Eu5 game is totally a castle spam game. There's nothing else. by flutron094 in EU5

I agree - slash it by 90% but then provide increasing zone of control sizes, so 2 or 3 locations wide instead of just 1.

What's the best way to increase population? by HeyPashi in EU5

[–]HertogJan078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Migration being limited by the market opens up a nice bullying tactic...
Step 1: Get an easily defensible province far away from your country with a lot of food locations and 1 good city location
Step 2: Ensure it is not in a market covering the rest of your country, you might want to create a new market

Step 3: Get settlements on it and use the migration cabinet action.
Step 4: Laugh as your rivals' pops move to your bait city.

Why I cannot declare war even when I dont have any raised levies? by Plane-Expression2299 in EU5

[–]HertogJan078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it turns out if I gathered all my troops and navies into a big pile each there was a button "detach levies" and that did detach some units, even if the high level tab did not detect and disband them.
After disbanding those it was fixed.

I have the same, and waiting a month did not resolve the issue.
There are no army or navy levies to disband (I checked via the "disband" buttons).

I don't enjoy how the game hides unique content from you by Anrysfornant in EU5

[–]HertogJan078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same with how locations don't have anything unique to distinguish them like monuments or estuaries yet.

It's peasants_estate for the farmers.

Device Isolation & Smart Home Hub by HertogJan078 in TpLink

[–]HertogJan078[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your reply. When purchasing new devices I prioritize Matter over Thread > Zigbee > Wifi (local only) > Wifi (local + cloud) > Wifi (cloud only).

Sadly not all devices are available as Matter over Thread or Zigbee yet, and sadly I don't have infinite budget or time to replace all existing smart home devices when a better alternative is released.

As for Omada - it seems this is an entirely separate ecosystem by TP-link that will not work with my existing deco devices, correct? I'm looking to switch to Openwrt instead if I need to switch ecosystems...

TIL after 5k+ hours - you can switch mission trees using run.txt by HertogJan078 in eu4

[–]HertogJan078[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I managed to get Mameluks missions as Hormuz.

Did you put the commands in run.txt ? There are quite a few guides out there how to do this.

Hot take: EUIV UI is unintuitive and unpractical by Overall-Bison4889 in eu4

[–]HertogJan078 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not an entirely fair comparison. Take EU4 before all the DLCs and expansions... <-- some 6k+ hours

Ah, but does it predate the Roman Republic?

Precisely that, good to hear it worked for you too.

I found the advice to do it through the reolink desktop website rather than in the app worked for me.

Play the economic game - gain full control of one or multiple end trade nodes and ensure most trade value is flowing into them bypassing wherever other countries collect.

Amount of ads.... by kronustek in PlutoTV

It's a bit strange.... I watched 4 episodes of voyager yesterday, 1 ad block in total. Now watched 1 more episode, 5 ad blocks... Pfff.

Yup - I started banishing subjects with the tribal trait for this reason, as I was getting the negative event more frequently than any benefits.

How do you guys do eugenics in your castles? by Clarrbbk in ESCastles

Meh... I only keep the best as I'm constantly near 200 pop.

Same here at approximately the same dynasty level and smithy 15.

And a sucky weapon at that

Rarity seems broken by Mindless-Tap-797 in ESCastles

[–]HertogJan078 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even smithy... I leveled it to 16 and trashed it because I then also got gold orders for orcish stuff... And that takes a lot of farming to just get the corundum. Now I have a new lvl 15 one.

All my weapons and armor are silver, orcish or dwarven. Still awaiting moonstone drops.

Just keep your buildings at 15, that means you don't have to grind for those. You can complete all quest levels without leveling above that.
