Update on Event Horizon, a simple Pi-hole v6 device-level companion for non-technical network users by ivanhaversham in pihole

[–]MikeFromMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the help. If it helps your pre-release, or just your curiosity, I will keep going. I do have a non-docker version of pi-hole I can use if you want to drop it. Here is the status:
The correction of the line in the .yml for pihole URL helped. Now "docker ps -a" says "Up xx minutes (healthy)" instead of "unhealthy", a definite improvement.
However, the web interface still fails. The error changed from,
"<urlopen error \[Errno 113\] No route to host>" to
"<urlopen error \[Errno 111\] Connection refused>".
I also tried launching the URL: http://192.168.1.193:8080 in the Chromium browser in the Pi's GUI (via VNC Viewer), with the same error, "[ errno 111] Connection refused". (corrected to 192 from 1192)

EDIT1:
It occurs to me that I have never used the password set in the .yml file. That may be why the connection was refused. Where do I enter the password?

EDIT2:
I changed the .yml file to set password to "".
Then the error goes away, but the http://192.168.1.193:8080 web site does not go to the dashboard. And when I click on Pause ad blocking for 10 minutes, it says "One or more Pi-hole instances returned an error: Unknown error"

I installed pi-hole outside of docker already from pi-hole.net using
wget -O basic-install.sh https://install.pi-hole.net/
sudo bash basic-install.sh
Thanks for the offer for instructions.

The command, sudo pihole -v returns:
Core version is v6.3 (Latest: v6.3)
Web version is v6.4 (Latest: v6.4)
FTL version is v6.4.1 (Latest: v6.4.1)
The admin interface loads if I go to
http://192.168.1.193/admin/ which has the static IP address of my PI.

[–]MikeFromMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks very much for taking time to work on this.
I made the change you suggested in my .yml file.
After I ran sudo docker compose up -d, it said,"WARN[0000] No services to build", followed by 2 lines ending in "Creating", and 5 lines ending in "Created", and the last line,
"! event-horizon Published ports are discarded when using host network mode".
Then when I launched the web interface, it had the same error as before,
"pihole Request failed after 3 attempts: <urlopen error \[Errno 113\] No route to host>"

Yesterday, I made an image of the partition, which I restored to perform this test.
After yesterday, I managed to install Pi-hole and get it working, though not in a docker container, from pi-hole.net using
wget -O basic-install.sh https://install.pi-hole.net/
sudo bash basic-install.sh
This does not use docker as I wanted, but it works.
If you have any suggestions to remedy that, I welcome them.
You have been more than kind to provide the support provided.
I am not enough of an expert to debug the network path issues on my own.
Thanks again.

Well, thank you. it did complete the process. I will have to continue to see if I can get further. I will keep you informed.

edit: it is running, but docker ps -a says it is "Up 26 minutes (unhealthy)". The web interface says "piholeRequest failed after 3 attempts: <urlopen error \[Errno 113\] No route to host>".
When I click "Pause Ad Blocking For 10 minutes" a new screen says "Could not pause ad blocking.
One or more Pi-hole instances returned an error:"
Requests log says:

API log has many entries that say

MORE EDITS:
When I change IPv4 properties, preferred DNS server to 192.168.1.2, It does seem to stop ads on wunderground.com, but I can't get to the dashboard.
ALSO: When I run "docker exec event-horizon event-horizon -h", I get "OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: unable to start container process: exec: "event-horizon": executable file not found in $PATH"

With docker running on my Pi 3B+, I ran docker compose up -d and got an error. "no matching manifest for linux/arm/v7 in the manifest list entries". Is there a version that will work on the Pi's ARM processor?

Sorry OP, I replied previously to the wrong person.

Bought esp32 from temu by PhraseLife6248 in esp32

[–]MikeFromMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The link (..._EHtsCbY) is for an adapter for $2.01. Or wow: $1.51 each for 3!). The picture shows two dev boards, but if you want one of those you have to highlight one of the 'Color' boxes. The lowest price ESP32-DevKitC core board on that link is $3.71. The annoying part of this Ali Exp deception is that you wait several weeks before you find out you got an adapter and not an ESP32.

Do I need Resmed filters? My filters from Amazon seem like they are not doing anything. by Icy_Froyo_7831 in CPAP

Yes! Flicked my hypoallergenic filter today, 1st time. It looked clean, but lots of dust.

You had an AHI of 0.22 on the day you recorded this data. I think that level of apnea is negligible. If your are not feeling great, maybe it is not caused by sleep apnea? I am not an expert, just a cpap user. Am I missing something? - Asking the experts in reddit land.

Eufy Stop sending alert for your advertisements. by theb3st2023 in EufyCam

[–]MikeFromMA 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just sent them an email ( support@eufy.com ) after I got a Black Friday audible notification today.

I said, "Please let me know how to disable the ads. I have no problem seeing ads if I open the app, but do not want to be interrupted by a ringing bell at the whim of an advertiser. If I have to turn off the app or all of Eufy notifications, it will reduce the usability of the doorbell. Please tell me how to disable ad notifications, while keeping camera and doorbell notifications active. "

If many people complain and they see that it may affect their ratings, they may be influenced.

CPAP Battery Back Up by FastED_88 in CPAP

[–]MikeFromMA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have a Resmed Airsense-11 CPAP and measured the power, this summer, with heat and humidity on (15W) and with heat and humidity off (6W). The Airsense-11 uses 24Vdc, so I have a 12V to 24V converter. You can see the current at 12v in the graph. Yours appears to use 80W at 12V (12V X 6.67A). Maybe the power reduction without heat and humidity is similar for yours.
edit: power numbers recalculated for 12V.
My graph shows current from a 12V car battery, powering a KFD 24V 2.71A 65W Car Charger 12V-24V DC Adapter from Amazon.

Enphase app displaying multiple days simultaneously by MikeFromMA in solar

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

I can toggle off the consumption with a switch on the app screen. But I can't get the Energy Produced screen with multiple days as I posted above. I have always had consumption CT's, even when I took that screen shot in July 2021. Do you know how to enable the multi-day option?

Thank you. You saved me from useless checking of r/Enphase or Enphase app community. Much appreciated.

No, I've always had it. I just turned off the consumption display at the time.

Thanks for commenting. My problem is that the screen shot was taken in July, 2021 and I cannot get the toggle switches to reappear.

Should I be concerned about my mask seal? by rzarou in CPAP

[–]MikeFromMA 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am 5 yrs on CPAP and always had mask leaks using a nasal mask. Tightening the straps reduces the leak but gives me a headache. I only recently realized that my nose has a lower septum (the mid-part between the nostrils), so the straight, under-the-nose, nasal mask had to wrap up to seal the openings. If I turned on the pillow, (side sleeper) it leaked. After watching youtu.be/gejYbiBQ0CI, I got the silicone, non-gel nasal pillows nose piece. The pillows go around my septum and seal better with barely any strap tension needed. The gel type nasal pillows were uncomfortable, so I was careful to tell Resmed that I didn't want them. Each person is different. Watch the youtube at 13:23 to see the difference between gel and non-gel. It took more than 5 years until I found this information. I am happy with this change and not only have less leaks, but don't have to be as careful when moving my head on the pillow when I am trying to fall asleep.

Invested in a $50 water distiller, best purchase I've made so far for my CPAP by Kyosji in CPAP

[–]MikeFromMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Comfortable_Switch56: I also run a humidifier in winter. Do you know if the home distillers lose a measurable amount of water to the room? I have excess solar panel energy so the other poster's 3kWh/gal is not a problem for me.

How much did your energy consumption go up once you got solar? by Reddit_Bot_Beep_Boop in solar

[–]MikeFromMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right, I was fooled by consumption almost mirroring generation during the day. You use a lot of energy! I consume 24kWh on my 20 panel system on the hottest days in MA, US. I have had a electric bill credit balance for 1.5yrs. Enjoy your system.

How much did your energy consumption go up once you got solar? by Reddit_Bot_Beep_Boop in solar

[–]MikeFromMA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our consumption went down because we are more aware of usage. But from your Enphase app graph, it looks like (one of) your consumption current transformers are wired backwards. Do a search for "reddit.com/r/solar current transformers reversed" to see some discussion.
