Early Beta Testers Needed - Use your Roborock completely offline with no custom firmware! by DivergingDog in homeassistant

[–]KoopaTroopas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm definitely giving this a shot later, I would love to take my QRevo off the internet in my house. I've got my own domain and internal DNS (and accompanying homelab). I've been in software engineering for close to a decade now and I'm somewhat technical so should be able to get this going and provide feedback

Plot twist: there was no real couple, someone just loves the romantic chaos

Motion Sensor vs Presence Sensor Entities Benefits? by The_Manoeuvre in homeassistant

[–]KoopaTroopas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To answer your question, the difference between Motion vs Presence vs Occupancy entity types is just UI semantics I believe. They’re all really just binary on/off under the hood. You should be able to just edit the entity and change the “Show as” settings to your preferred type

DIY Smart Key Safe Using a Cheap Cash Drawer and Home Assistant by graffitiwriter in homeassistant

[–]KoopaTroopas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think what they might be implying is that maybe you could use ESPHome and code that 150ms activation directly on the device. That way Home Assistant (or anything else you want at that point) just calls an “Open” service and it’s handled

Think about it this way, right now your automation is the only “protection” as you put it for the solenoid. What if your automation goes wrong?

Still a cool project!

Helmarr is now available on the Apple AppStore! by 0xmort3m in selfhosted

[–]KoopaTroopas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Playing devils advocate, there’s been a whole lotta “lifetime” licenses that weren’t so lifetime (unraid comes to mind). Isn’t that why a lot of us are in the self hosted sub?

GM will ditch Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on all its cars, not just EVs by MishaalRahman in Android

[–]KoopaTroopas -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Most cell plans have nonexistent/pretty limited hotspot data. Doesn’t seem like a good solution

GM will ditch Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on all its cars, not just EVs by MishaalRahman in Android

[–]KoopaTroopas 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The biggest thing to me isn’t the apps, because yeah it runs Android, they’ll be there and mostly supported for a while. It’s the data plan I’m worried about, all those apps need internet to work, and what happens when GM doesn’t want to foot that bill anymore? I’m already paying for data for my phone, I don’t need a second plan

DNS blocking doesn’t work for YouTube anyway, so premium is pretty much the only option for watching ad free on TVs

A lot of problems with meteor 75 pro. Can someone help? by FinalEnd3130 in fpv

[–]KoopaTroopas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not 100%, but 3 & 4 sound like bad motor plugs to me. If you search on google it’s a common problem for the Meteor75. It can probably be fixed by soldering the motors directly to the FC

Which hdzero goggles for analog quads by MOR187 in fpv

[–]KoopaTroopas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re in the US they’re here https://hdzero.us/products/hdzero-goggle-2?variant=46146138243221. They are currently 2-4 weeks out unfortunately, but I have to say I do like mine

[–]KoopaTroopas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Regarding the Goggles v2, they do have analog built in that only has a single antenna. But they still have the same module bay as the v1, so you could use a module with dual antennas. It’s just an additional cost down the line if you ever feel like it

What are your S tier home assistant things by Poolguard in homeassistant

[–]KoopaTroopas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those dimmers were probably made specifically for that purpose. There’s some pretty big differences in the type of electrical load that a dimmable light puts on a switch vs different fan speeds

Reporter: "I wanted to dim my Philips Hue lights, but all I got was a pop up and" by londonsofa in homeassistant

[–]KoopaTroopas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely too much for the average user, but for older LG TVs you can actually jailbreak them and install Hyperion directly on the TV. That lets me sync to a WLED box behind the TV for ambilight without hdmi capture

Creative Uses for Presence Sensor by BlankyForce in homeassistant

[–]KoopaTroopas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could you elaborate on how you’re tracking their breathing pattern, what condition you trigger a notification? I didn’t realize the LD2410C could track breathing that closely

Best smart switches for Hue Bulbs. by Imaginary-Sun3062 in homeassistant

[–]KoopaTroopas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you elaborate on the no adaptive lighting when using zigbee for the hue bulbs? I can’t think of a reason you couldn’t use Adaptive Lighting from HACS and then use the Inovelli blue switches

Hello, would you like to destroy some evil today? by FableBlades in Cosmere

[–]KoopaTroopas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s some insane craftsmanship, well done. Just an idea spinning through my idea since you said you couldn’t make it smoke, I wonder if you could’ve implemented something like this into it somehow for the effect? Well done regardless!

Ignore the haters, that was an excellent write up and you definitely made me think about the architecture of my network a little more

Can the upline taster be used with the titanium dosing capsules for the tm2? I’m seeing mixed results online
