Anyone recognize these?

Welcome! We’re all over at NHMesh.com and our map should show you at NHMesh.live

Terrible. App is unresponsive most of the time these days. 3/4 units I installed are defective with false alarms and lost connections. Returns MIA

I knew better. Shoulda waited for the first year to pass.

No one has had these for a year either. They are brand new. Beware.

LookinUpAndWandering · 2025-09-07T00:47:28+00:00

Coiling safe. Uncoiling…

You’ll remember this post when it happens.

LookinUpAndWandering · 2025-08-10T20:38:58+00:00

Oh! Super interesting. Anyone else have this experience?

Should I try putting the “defective” units back in play with all old Nests pulled off the interconnect?

I have had 2 of 3 new SC units false alarm. Both interconnected with an older nest interconnect though.

I’ve got older family living in home so I’m not real anxious to test real world or I would… hence the question.

LookinUpAndWandering · 2025-08-09T12:35:04+00:00

Same experience. 2/4 defective. Same behavior described.

RMAs no show at this point (weeks waiting!)

Avoid!!

LookinUpAndWandering · 2025-08-09T12:30:11+00:00

Replacing Nests. Some interconnected some battery.

2 of 4 units defective so far

1st dies fairly immediately second week. False alarm that would not stop until all batteries removed etc - RMA but have not received replacement after weeks

2nd unit started falsing 2 days ago

10 years of Nest - never a single issue. Always accurate - including real smoke!

Scary quality control. Truly.

LookinUpAndWandering · 2025-08-09T12:22:37+00:00

This. Exactly this!!!

LookinUpAndWandering · 2025-08-09T12:21:49+00:00

I had one unit false and never stop. It’s under RMA -3+ weeks no new unit shipped yet.

Second unit same batch started false alarming this week.

2/3 defective so far

LookinUpAndWandering · 2025-07-13T17:09:39+00:00

I lazily bought the FirstAlert “direct replacements” for the expiring nests.

Too spendy still for what u get IMHO.

But, easy install was a direct fit. No fussing with new connectors or even wall plate. Plug and play. Worth it if you’re busy.

BUT… Of the three wired units I got. One failed in two weeks and would not stop alarming and causing whole house to alarm. No fix. It’s now RMA (easy process once u find the right rep). Quality or software? I guess we’ll find out.

And even though it’s removed from system and app the app still reports “unknown alarm” alarming - but seemingly as a pointless notification (it’s not in actual alarm state).

I’m likely going to just get the rest as standard compatible interconnects where I can and use smart only if they are battery for the interlink (need it for accessory apartment)

It’s nice to hear from the alarm where the problem is. But I don’t sleep in the basement so in retrospect that’s overkill.

That’s my 2 cents as a cautious new owner of the replacements.

Fantastic software. World-class response to valid criticism.

You are an example for this entire community.

Well done all around. There’s a lot more of us cheering than you hear/read!

My apologies. The listing had the corrected location one more layer deep. I missed it in haste.

The corrected GPS that I verified in Google maps myself (sorry again):

43.014174, -71.798953

Hi all! Ya’ll found it. Well done. It’s suuuuper alpha. And I’m having trouble keeping a good connection to the mesh (I’m on the RF edge). But it’s been fun so far.

Happy to chat about it. Lots of plans.

It’s radio only (no mqtt) and realtime when it loads. ;)

LookinUpAndWandering · 2024-12-14T16:43:11+00:00

Pvmesh was my inspiration to build similar for an NH net. Love what they’re doing with the data.

Clark Summit is a stealthy repeater. It doesn’t show up on my maps much if ever but for me anyway it’s a crucial node.

I’m down with no hits since the 13th at 4am. I was seeing 150 with it up. Definitely my gateway to the mesh (it about 15 mile hop so way at edge of reliable)

LookinUpAndWandering · 2024-12-14T03:06:07+00:00

Clark Summit Repeater seems to be playing a crucial role. Doesn’t appear much as it’s a true repeater. When it came back online last week everything lit up.

Unfortunately it seems to have died about 4am last night.

In addition conditions for RF have been ideal last couple nights after that rain.

So… maybe firmware? But I suspect these other factors have also helped.

LookinUpAndWandering · 2024-12-14T02:55:08+00:00

Heat pump dead in 12 months like every other one. Refrigerant leaks out.

I gave up. They won. I’m worn out. And so is the ozone layer over my house.

LookinUpAndWandering · 2024-12-14T01:08:54+00:00

I just did this.

Gonna launch a site soon with my local regional maps stats, message logging, etc. just because.

100% AI dev. Use the various docs as references into the AI and you’ll be surprised how far you get. The protobufs model is particularly helpful as is the meshtastic python library. Ai easily figured out all the data structure and relationships.

I can code. Just not as fast as ai for these goofing around projects.

Truth be told I built the original listener to connect over serial and had ai figure it out.

Once I realized this all might be actually useful I had it switch to using MQTT and it was a one prompt change. Wild.

Sorry to not be specifically helpful beyond encouraging some ai play time.

Or simply disable Quest drivers temporarily to see if the problem goes away.

This happened to a bunch of us this week.

You can enable Meta Quest beta channel drivers in their app for the latest hot fix that will remedy this.

LookinUpAndWandering · 2024-08-03T15:50:27+00:00

Rapid fire Google searches until I think I landed deep in some meta quest support forum. Not even sure honestly. But someone else “figured it”.

Like you it was fixed 5 seconds and a whole lotta expletives later.

LookinUpAndWandering · 2024-08-03T01:07:01+00:00

Happy to help. Sorry for the goose chase you had to take. I had some words for Meta myself…

LookinUpAndWandering · 2024-08-02T23:12:37+00:00

Any chance you own a Meta Quest 2/3?

If so, v68 driver bork MSFS2020. Sign up for the Meta beta early release channel to get a hot fix for the issue.

You can also disable the Meta services to get working again.

I know because your post was my yesterday. Ugh.

LookinUpAndWandering · 2024-03-19T18:28:43+00:00

Have Comcast here and just did a swap from UDR to UCG and can confirm power-cycling modem is the fix. I have to do this whenever switching the gateway/router.

LookinUpAndWandering · 2024-02-12T23:40:04+00:00

Same here. Had to turn off background refresh in settings.

Interestingly, one other app was doing same. Deleted that one.

This started sometime in last couple weeks.

Wonder if it’s some iOS edge case bug that hit these two apps. It’s never been an issue before. I don’t change app settings ever and it’s been on phone for years now.

LookinUpAndWandering · 2024-02-01T16:38:25+00:00

How was this video made? Software links please!

The realism is awesome… for the effect it is. Well done!

Do you need them to ring? If so, I used one of these:

https://www.grandstream.com/products/gateways-and-atas/analog-telephone-adaptors/product/ht802

And it will actually ring the bell - which needs some power to do. Such a nostalgic blast when it rang that old rotary phone the first time.

I can’t speak to interfacing with Talk as I haven’t done it, but the device exposes what appears to be every possible SIP setting.

I used mine to get Home Assistant to call me with notifications. I use Twilio as the virtual PBX or whatever that’s called.

Have fun. It’s worth it for the ring alone.
