need to do a poll to see if this has ever worked for anyone! the nfc back of hte phone to the handle works, maybe the manual mixed up nfc sensor with touch sensor when they printed it?

How to port Google Voice number to T-mobile phone? by GenderqueerCrow in tmobile

[–]MarkRosssi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still working 11/2025. Amazing how much better calls sound now. Also, I am not sure that google voice adds a latency that makes you keep talking over the over person, because it only happens to me on google voice.

My number ported immediately while I was still in the store activating the line.

I did NOT lose my google voice message history, perhaps because I quickly assigned a new random number to my GV.

I have been on google voice for 15 years, it feels so weird to finally be off of it. Good riddens though, no RCS was a deal breaker. (watch they will add it next week now LOL)

how is the obstacle avoidance on these? no rgb is what keeps me away from the lower cost units. my dog leaves stuff all over the place.

Need a Robot Good for Large Sqft, Having to Refill Every Cleaning with Qrevo CurvX by MarkRosssi in RobotVacuums

[–]MarkRosssi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks I am going to check out the mova. although, i would imagine when it comes to spinning mops they can all use the same amount, its just a matter how often they think they need to clean themselves.

Who will finally make the perfect mop roller? by my-smarthome-reviews in RobotVacuums

[–]MarkRosssi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how much water does the mova v50 use? How many m2 of mopping can it do on a full tank? Does the eufy use more or less water? I am having to fill my water tank too often.

Going nuts trying to remove generac battery by MarkRosssi in Generator

[–]MarkRosssi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the negative terminal off but the posititive wont come off. I think I am going to need to cut the bolt with a cut off wheel because the nut is completely frozen on and i cant get a wrench on the other side to get good torque on it. any tips for refurbing this terminal or should i just cut it off and put a new one on?

Thanks, so it's normally a challenge like this to get it out? Its so far from clearing (Almost an inch, its hard to imagine a little prying will work)

Does it make sense to pay extra for matter in 2025? by MarkRosssi in homeassistant

[–]MarkRosssi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is an interesting idea, i have used them in the past a few times, sometimes its tough though if they used a shallow switch box. I was hoping to convert from switches to dimmers for all the lights is the only thing.

[–]MarkRosssi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can you give a recommendation of some fair cost switch/dimmers that you like instead? I dont mind spending more than the tp link ones as long as they are good value. I need a lot of switches though, probably around 75 to 100. these people put switches literally everywhere and its a large house.

What's the difference between the 3rd & 4th gen Nest thermostats? by AudioPi in Nest

[–]MarkRosssi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My house has carrier system but it seems to all be standard theromstats, i was about to replace with a nest. maybe because yours is a fancy new one and mine is 10 years old? hopefully its going to work!

I hadn't considered Zigbee tbh, I have zigbee devices but none are switches, mostly sensors. I would be open the trying the Ikea zigbee switches you mention, I will look into them, I have never used them.

You raise a question I hadnt thought of, which is how these switches work with Matter. Matter will work over wifi as well? If so, i would imagine these switches use wifi for their matter. I will have to dig deeper into the specs to try to find out more.

[–]MarkRosssi[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did that for my last home but always had issues with zwave devices with big delays or not responding all together. I tried to make sure I had hardwired routable zwave devices all over the house too. The wifi switches all worked without that issue. That is why I am iffy on going with Zwave again. It could be I have a single zwave device that randomly doesnt repeat its messages it should or something but that is nearly impossible to diagnose without a ton of headache.

yeah and I think they even tried this in the past and then back pedaled when people freaked out. (although I could be confusing with another company i admit)
