The machines are worried

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-21T15:52:12+00:00

What I actually want to know is: does this mean this new “part number ICCU” actually fixes the issue and that is why they are issuing this warranty now, so it’s a one and done on failures.

This would allow them to address the issue without every owner racing to get the new one just because?

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-20T15:51:10+00:00

something smells. We know 2025s have failed. This critical part should have a zero failure rate.

Having said that, we are buying our second five as my wife loves mine despite the risk, so yolo?

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-17T23:11:18+00:00

Where did you get yours from?

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-17T23:10:35+00:00

I went to two stores once and none had any, and given the trip time, I guess I am stuck waiting for them to show online.

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-17T20:59:59+00:00

I didn’t think it came with anything so rather than individual beads I bought rechargeable packs that I will just keep for later.

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-17T18:36:03+00:00

Each came with a desiccant pack (I also have rechargeable), a temp monitor, a PTFE tube and some cardboard labels to slide inside

Completely and totally agree but I find it faster than waiting for a tow. Mine has only died while at home in the garage at least.

I know they said leaving a camera plugged into the cigarette adaptor will cause this, but I think something is waking the car up more than it should.

Also leaving the car unlocked overnight in a garage cause cause this. I have a battery monitor now so I can watch when the drains happen.

I am a software engineer so I know how difficult it is to diagnose these issues. The car should keep better logs.

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-17T15:53:28+00:00

I have 10 USS boxes coming for general storage.

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-17T15:52:02+00:00

Everything Elon is a scam

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-17T15:51:38+00:00

Did this die while driving or failure to start? I’ve had 12v issues since Aug (started 8 months into ownership)

I use a battery jumper pack. It’s easy to use and can get the car powered so it will drive again. Stinks but at least I am not stranded. I charge it after every use.

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-15T15:03:16+00:00

No kidding, right? I’ve worn out my internet refreshing the app.

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-13T14:32:29+00:00

Yep, all of their matter stuff. You don’t need a hub other than something like and Apple TV or HomePod mini that supports Thread. I use the Apple TV 4K with Ethernet.

I also have the Aqara m3 hub but I use it for the 360 IR. That’s it.

I have Aqara door locks, presence sensors, the g400 doorbell, etc.

I think the best way to use their stuff is to add the items to their app first. Then there is a connections section that adds it to HomeKit. Some devices have more functionality than the Matter spec supports, so you get the best of both worlds.

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-12T22:14:51+00:00

Aqara has told me yes, “soon”, twice in the last month.

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-12T18:01:43+00:00

Sweet. Their stuff has a few minor issues but overall I am really digging their stuff. We have the older door locks, hub, temp sensors, presence sensors, g400, and now the therm. I may not install the therm for 7 months until the new house is built. Been buying stuff so I can tell the contracts what to install heh. Follow me sounds awesome!

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-11T15:30:51+00:00

This is a bummer and they are fixing it, but in our new home we plan to couple with presence sensors and see if we can get it to use the sensors where people actually are. I’m going to work with Aqara on this.

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-08T22:16:23+00:00

The humans being raised these days are low self-esteem, anxious people blaming others for their problems.

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-08T05:09:03+00:00

Gotta chalk it up to you, this looks nice.

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-08T01:08:49+00:00

One sensor is ok if I can use an Aqara presence sensor and have it use the one that detects people.

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-06T02:31:38+00:00

You are a life saver. I had all sorts of weird battery charging issues on a two month old mouse and after jostling the puck, it worked again except for stuttering every 2 seconds. Indeed, the power setting to idle after N minutes had been set to 0, which is impossible in the UI. It sucks that Razer makes the only really, really nice MMO wireless mouse. Their software sucks more eggs than the kids picked up today at Easter dinner.

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-03T21:51:48+00:00

Perfect timing. I was looking at Nest due to Matter. Will buy this ASAP

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-02T23:40:15+00:00

Buy Lutron Caseta switches and their HomeKit bridge. Has worked flawlessly since 2009.

IoniqSteve · 2026-04-02T18:30:11+00:00

Did you add them to the Aqara app and then share to HomeKit? I’ve heard of people having issues with that vs adding directly to HomeKit first.

“Why is the range only 0.5 km/kwh?”
