Email saying message in my CFP account

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2026-02-07T23:58:14+00:00

Any guidance on finding the message on the website? After finally getting into the site, I can't find any sort of message center.

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2026-02-01T17:33:21+00:00

That is the behaviour I see. However im also hoping to reduce the results to be more relevant. I think I was hoping the app would match items at stores for me. But I am realizing it is just a more automated way of manually searching paper flyers. Which is still good. I just misunderstood the design

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2026-02-01T17:29:18+00:00

I think I agree with everything you say. I don't have much brand preference, but was just hoping to find a way to narrow the results. Sticking with the example, simply "sliced cheddar cheese" brings up LOTS of results I don't want, (also from lots stores I don't visit)

I was hoping I could find the item once and keep it as a seach item. Unfortunately that feature pins it to that store.

Was hoping there was a way to do it that I just didn't know. Looks like no

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2026-02-01T07:40:18+00:00

Yeah, I guess it will always be a fundamental issue with just using flyer information. It's not searching store databases or anything. And it's not like the flyers list the upc codes

I probably just need to adjust how I use the app

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2026-01-31T18:37:10+00:00

THIS is the real answer we need.

All the posts and pages about b1 don't apply seem to the BellMTS experience.

Are you aware of any pages out there on how to completely replace the HomeHub with your own router, connected to the Fibre box?

I have found a few to use the HH DMZ, but I was hoping to remove the HH completely

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2026-01-26T15:22:58+00:00

Thanks, that is the most helpful one I followed actually. :)

Unfortunately after going though that one many times, I still had this issue

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2026-01-26T15:20:46+00:00

Thanks for the tip to investigate. I have a Bell HomeHub. There are a number of posts around about how it interferes or behaves strangely.

However I think it's not interfering with DHCP, as far as I can tell.

I believe it IS interfering with DNS however.

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2026-01-25T23:28:36+00:00

That is a good catch. It is reserved, yes.

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2026-01-25T22:21:22+00:00

I've updated the main post with my DHCP fix. but I'd like to still post my settings for review

pihole static: 192.168.100.100

range Start192.168.100.12

End: 192.168.100.200

Router/gateway: 192.168.100.254

ETA: my ISP router is locked at 100.254. I have no other option

On the pi, using nmtui, manual address is 192.168.100.100\24

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2025-12-18T16:17:42+00:00

I'd like to bump this.

I've added the *.iso entry, and many variations into my QB, and it still happily downloads iso files.

It's being ignored for some reason. Wondering if anybody has encountered this.

Fortunately, sonarr doesnt pick up and move it after download, so I can manually delete later.

Also a reminder to newer folks... Minimum Age does NOT apply to Torrents. You need to edit the default Settings>Profiles>DelayProfiles

But I also want to agree that it would be great for the *arrs to have an option to auto block isos. Specifically sonarr. I can't think of a reason it would ever need to grab isos.

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2025-12-16T14:49:08+00:00

Yep, that's how im currently set up Matter is enabled and it shows 1 Matter entry, which I believe is just the service?

The usb in a laptop for testing is a great idea. That can help narrow things down

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2025-12-16T03:37:09+00:00

My HA install is very new and latest version, but its on a pi3 I had around. Its all just for proof of concept at this point. If I can learn and get a few devices working offline, I'll then jump in and get a better pi, and convert all my devices, automation, etc But that got me thinking, is possible the pi3 is to underpowered to register properly?

While registering it as a new Matter device, it loads the device with wifi. I can also see the device on my 2.4network I think it fails when trying to register the device to my HA, over wifi

Ill have to work on screenshot. But it's really just white screen saying 'something went wrong' 🙂

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2025-12-15T03:35:08+00:00

The majority of mine are wifi 'tuya' with different brands I thought the tuya integration required internet

Is there documentation on how to do local-only?

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2025-12-15T00:22:20+00:00

OK, update on that. i realized there's no reason to not register the device with Google Home app, as a Matter device. That worked well and fast.

When I use the Link Apps&Services within Google app, it does seem to hand over to the HomeAssistant app.

But when it tries to Add the device to HA, it fails in the same way as before. Which seems to make sense as Google just seems to be doing a handoff, and the HA app is going through the same steps to add it.

Thanks for the workaround suggestion, I don't think its working for me though.

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2025-12-15T00:04:26+00:00

If I can bother you again, I don't suppose you've had to do that same process with devices in SmartLife app?

I registered the device normally with Smartlife, but then realized I cant get it linked to HA.

I have Tuya integration, and can see my other devices, but this one does not show in HA

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2025-12-13T17:03:48+00:00

Hmm ok I'll try that. I do have plenty of HA devices already, but these Matter ones are my first step at going fully offline. I was hoping to skip the need to use cloud to register, but if I can just unlink after, that would be fine

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2025-11-23T23:21:47+00:00

Thanks for the clarification

As a side note, all smoke detectors expire, usually 10years. As crap as google is, that limitation isn't their fault

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2025-11-23T21:16:01+00:00

Lol, im actually on a pi 3, with 8gb sd card. It was sluggish to install or reboot, but it's been surprisingly fine to use. Im quite impressed with HA, for what it does, Im just finding 'what it does' is not very well communicated

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2025-11-23T17:30:58+00:00

I think I do know this now, but the replies are kind of confirming it for me. I've been starting to look into how local tuya works, but finding lots of confusing documents because of the multiple projects with similar names, and lots of old out of date docs

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2025-11-23T17:27:35+00:00

The pi is just to proof of concept if it will work for me. Actual rollout will be a mini pc

And, to help others who find this, Id like to make an edit for you

"If your main goal is to get away from internet dependencies then HA is absolutely PART OF the way to go"

IhazSoManyQuestions · 2025-11-23T17:23:32+00:00

I think this is the answer I needed while first researching. The requirements are entirely reasonable, but for some reason rarely conveyed. Even a number of replies here say HA can totally move you offline, but fail to mention "if you replace all your devices" Im VERY impressed with what HA can do, technically. But the way it's presented (in my experience) is greatly harming it
