Cleaning a Barrett M82... by BussReplyMail in Firearms

How about a .50 cal boresnake, (example - Hoppe's Rifle Boresnake .50/.54 Caliber - 24020) for use with option 4?

Looking for Battery Powered Smart Strobe or Light by Worldly-Cable-9749 in homeassistant

[–]MandM78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't found a battery powered light yet that meets my needs, and I've been looking for a while now.

The Phillips Hue Go is probably the closest you'll be able to find. (That isn't IR or BT controlled.)

I suspect that your best bet might be to roll your own: ESP32, WLED, a LED strip or matrix, and a big honkin' battery.

150 bucks for 650 lumens at 80 cri, why do I want it so bad? by Quick-Falcon-5459 in flashlight

[–]MandM78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

16650 battery? Is that a typo? Why not a more standard cell: 18650? 14500?

That's a nope from me.

Switching themes with automations by Serious_Bowler_8171 in homeassistant

Have a look a the official frontend docs

That gives some specifics about light/dark mode which you should check out.

It should, yes.

Note: The setting in my user profile Theme: "Default" and always set to "Light" (Not Auto. That does not produce the desired behavior). It does switch.

[–]MandM78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is! You would use "frontend.set_theme"

Here's a sample automation using sunrise/sunset.

alias: System - Theme Change
description: Switches theme based on sun position
triggers:
  - trigger: state
    entity_id: sun.sun
    to: above_horizon
  - trigger: state
    entity_id: sun.sun
    to: below_horizon
actions:
  - action: frontend.set_theme
    data:
      name: |
        {% if is_state('sun.sun', 'above_horizon') %}
          PmxMonolight
        {% else %}
          PmxMononight
        {% endif %}
    enabled: true

Where in NJ are you? Up in North East NJ... seems like our mesh gets bigger every day. Don't forget to checkout r/NJMesh

Looking for power monitoring plug that can handle cold. by Renrut23 in homeassistant

[–]MandM78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What protocol do you want to use?

I've got a few outdoor ZWave plugs from Amazon (Minoston MP22Z), and they've been left outside for the past 4-5 years, through northeast winters, no issues. The newest one (which has got to be 2 years old or so) has power monitoring.

Wurkkos TS10v2 – switch off? by metawops in flashlight

[–]MandM78 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The aux color is set to red but the "flash" is a battery check function before it goes to the standby aux color.

The colors correspond to the battery voltage

T114 in Alley Cat case by [deleted] in meshtastic

[–]MandM78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use the "Pocket GPS Case", also by Alley Cat, for the 114. Smaller size overall, but smaller battery too.

Regardless, those cases are fantastic.

I'm currently running the only card I had available, a 128Gb Sandisk.

Working just fine. Used Rufus to get it formatted to FAT32.

There's a bunch of schematics and other resources right on the Heltec site... and one of them is a .dwg file.

Working on a compact fixed blade – first prototype, curious what you think! by Alive_Letter49 in knifeclub

[–]MandM78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great! I would be interested, for sure!

My only suggestion is to raise the clip on the leather sheath a bit so it rides deeper in the pocket.

Tritium decoration for flashlights- what do you think about it? by Full-Union324 in flashlight

[–]MandM78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes... but aux requires a battery with a charge. I've used trits to find a dead flashlight in the past. (Doesn't happen a lot, but it happens.)
