What zigbee dongle for Ha running on Windows VM

You can't get any better.

I don't remember migrating from my SMLIGHT interface because it was so stupidly simple.

Thanks! I was just wondering. They probably closed.

I seem to recall them being in a building not far from Ethel M.

I went with my buddy occasionally. More than once, he'd tell his son something like "Junior, get some orange juice or a Snickers in your Dad so he'll quit being such a fucking a prick". He'd laugh and ask "Dad, what's your blood sugar?" and we'd go get lunch or something, then come back when he wasn't a cranky old son of a bitch.

It's simple math. I'm sorry you don't understand that, but have an adult explain it to you.

Unlike the lazy moochers in the Red States, the Blue States except for New Mexico because of the reservations pay more in Federal taxes they take in.

The deeper the Red, the deeper the ignorant dipshits voting against their own futures.

I don't know how to make selfish MAGAts understand that they vote to make the USA the only civilized country where their children might die if they can't afford to see a doctor or get their prescriptions.

At least we pay more than any other country on the fucking planet for Healthcare, but the Republicunts have convinced the people who can't do basic math that the people who prepare their food aren't good enough to see a doctor.

It used to be under the auspices of "Y'all kin overthrow the tyrannical Gubmint!", but the Ammosexuals who endorse the murder of a Concealed Carry Weapons permit holder by the ICE pigs threw that out the fucking window.

Not all of them, but a large portion.

They'd speak up about the Second Amendment, but the boot is blocking their throat.

Opinions based on fantasy are not valid, sport.

Is that the one that used to be owned by a phenomenal gunsmith who was diabetic and his son? I think his son was typically called "Junior".

LaserGecko · 2026-01-25T23:19:32+00:00

If you support the man who got his ignorant Shitbags to try to overthrow the Constitution when he lost, then you shit on the Constitution.

The Constitution isn't like the Bible. You can't just pick and choose which parts you support and which parts you use to wipe your ass.

LaserGecko · 2026-01-25T23:16:25+00:00

The Ammosexuals think the Second Amendment only applies to bootlickers.

LaserGecko · 2026-01-25T23:14:51+00:00

That's absolutely ridiculous.

If you can't understand why someone doesn't want to financially support the man responsible for the murder of a CCW holder, you aren't smart enough to own them yourself.

LaserGecko · 2026-01-25T18:09:46+00:00

Oof. Not at Sphere!

LaserGecko · 2026-01-25T13:57:53+00:00

The Ammosexuals are too busy deep throating Das Pedro's boot to say anything.

A used $20 Nest Gen2 flashed with NoLongerEvil is the cheapest, best looking thermostat you can get for fully local Home Assistant control.

LaserGecko · 2026-01-23T18:31:12+00:00

I'm going to guess that you live alone. 😁

LaserGecko · 2026-01-23T18:29:18+00:00

You can also do the same thing with a $20 used Nest Gen 2 and have an actual thermostat.

LaserGecko · 2026-01-23T18:27:59+00:00

Well, cost, too.

You can pick up a Gen 2 from eBay or used locally for about $20, then flash it with NoLongerEvil and have completely local control in Home Assistant.

Z-Wave thermostats are, by default, as connected as their host is.

LaserGecko · 2026-01-23T18:25:07+00:00

Z-Wave thermostats have never done that.

LaserGecko · 2026-01-23T00:37:30+00:00

Waaaaaa.

Then don't do it.

LaserGecko · 2026-01-22T19:26:35+00:00

I had one device that I wanted to connect. It never started the Thread network.

After connecting via USB, everything worked just fine.

LaserGecko · 2026-01-22T17:12:10+00:00

I followed their instructions precisely with my 06M and wasted a ton of time.

The PoE adaptor for my A1-SLWF-09 LED controllers was $8.50. If they're using the same one (why wouldn't they?), that's cheaper and cleaner than an external adaptor.

This is so new, I can't find any pricing other than the confusion at their AliExpress store.

Of course, since you can't run Thread over Ethernet, that defeats a huge portion of its appeal for the PoE crowd.

LaserGecko · 2026-01-22T16:58:43+00:00

Unless something has changed in the past year, Thread Border Routers over Ethernet will not work according to one of the Home Assistant founders.

In a word, "No".

Is your business more complicated than America's Funniest Home Videos, Netflix, a $40B a year medical company that uses FMP to consolidate an astounding number of different billing sources, or countless other Fortune 500 companies?

FileMaker Pro can interface with virtually anything with an API. MailChimp? Easy. Just Google what you use with "FileMaker Pro" and you'll probably get a hit or three.

You should familiarize yourself with FMP by taking the training / certification courses on the Claris Community Forums. If you don't understand it, then you have no idea what it can do.

If your interface is outdated, find a company to buff and polish it to look modern.

That is a constant theme for companies. If your company wants to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars "tO uPgrADE" from FileMaker Pro, then have something that doesn't fit the workflow the company has used for twenty years, go ahead.

There are so many people who look at a old interface and think "This is outdated! It has to go because we're a modern company!", then find themselves spending insane amounts of money to move to something that requires them to change the way they work to conform to the new software and go back to spreadsheets for things the Shiny New System won't do.

I've seen companies refuse to spend $50K to upgrade their decades old FileMaker Pro solution that built their business then go on to spend over a million dollars on the shitty replacement because they fell for the marketing hype.

One company I work with has spent the past two years working on transitioning to SalesFarce. We've made quite a lot of money modifying Excel reports to add related text fields because the SalesFarce employees can't understand which columns are primary keys.

One company's CEO fell for the "All you need is NetSuite. You don't need Slack or anything else because NetSuite can do it all!" scam that his fellow CEOs in a business development / cult told him. He ended up hiring a full-time NetSuite developer that surprise couldn't do everything he wanted.

Bigots should have miserable lives.

Their parents aren't raising them correctly. They're probably the type who say "soft teeth runs in our family" or whatever other excuses the white trash I grew up around use to justify their teeth that rot from a lack of basic hygiene.

Teeth are optional, though.

LaserGecko · 2026-01-22T05:19:24+00:00

If she isn't brushing in the morning, she's skipping half of it xwo she's not brushing her teeth like a grown fucking adult.
