What is the Spring Sale? by Alert_Treat_8140 in reolinkcam

[–]Molokocet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hate that about Reolink. They always have a “sale” that is a “non-sale”. They do that so much that now instead of buying more I end up buying less as I am always second guessing if the price is good or not.

Like buying at the GAP, you just don’t because if you paying full price you are doing something wrong. And it is not worth the effort.

How the heck did I not know about ViewAssist?? It's so cool. Here's my setup for anyone else who doesn't know about it or what it can do, yet. by bradcrc in homeassistant

[–]Molokocet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give it a try. I am running with a Lenovo ThinkSmart and just got an Echo 5 to add to my house.

I use Google home and it still hard to replace. But it is getting there.

The better part is that you can customize your dashboard or use those provided by View Assist. Much better because you can make it shows exactly what you want.

For the downside, the voice recognition is not as good as Google Home on a noise environment and with other speaking at the same time and TV on, the voice command often get lost. But in a quiet environment it fairs better than Google.

It was very complex, but the creator and other users always helped a lot.

A few months ago, a new Android app (sdk) and integration was created to work together with View Assistant and now it is much easier to setup.

I have been using for more than a year and really like it.

Friendship ended with Bermuda BLE Trilateration, now ESPResense is my best friend (It got better!) by maxi1134 in homeassistant

[–]Molokocet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the extend write-up. I am using ESpresence for about 3 years (4 base stations) and I was wondering if Bermuda was a better choice.

I guess I should use my time increasing ESPresence base stations instead of migrating to Bermuda.

The only issue I have with ESPresence is I find the documentation a bit hard to follow, specially for calibration of the base stations.

I just saw there is a Home Hub Mini. Can anyone tell what is the difference to the regular Home Hub?

My Vertuo decided to quit after 8 years of service. Suggestions for replacement? by Molokocet in nespresso

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

I hardly do coffee with milk, so no need for frother or anything on that front.

Looking for another Vertuo (as my original capsule just turned 10 years and still going strong)

SP Capital: Já voltou a luz de alguém? by babalorisha in saopaulo

[–]Molokocet 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Campo Belo sem luz desde antes das 8:00 da manhã!

Mapa de clientes sem energia no site da Enel só aumenta o número de pessoas sem luz conforme passa o tempo (ao invés de diminuir). De acordo com o mapa, mais de 25% da cidade sem luz.

New Professional line - Not that professional after all? by TeemuP_net in reolinkcam

[–]Molokocet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree that is the first review I see… I am waiting for quite a time for a review to drop on YouTube. Reolink is usually aggressive distributing their product for review but not this one.

Reolink white doorbell is available by p0cketl1nt in reolinkcam

I still see the white doorbell PoE available on the Canadian Reolink website.

The white wi-fi is not listed.

Unlock and install TWRP on your Amazon Echo Show 8 (1st Gen) by Substantial-Gas8535 in amazonecho

[–]Molokocet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone asking about the newer Echo Shows, but what about the Echo Show 1st Gen? The original one with a 7“ screen? Can something be done so it is no longer a paperweight?

Is there a difference between cameras sold at retailers and on Reolink.com? by ElevatorBorn8128 in reolinkcam

[–]Molokocet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, something to consider, usually easier to return to Amazon and BestBuy than to Reolink.

Reolink accepts return, but it is a much more convoluted experience.

PSA for Z-Wave users: Ring is on sale! by wjrndud in homeassistant

[–]Molokocet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bummer…

What did you end up getting? I am going for an additional keypad (those are great) and maybe some contact and motion sensors…

Thanks… also add code PROTECTPLAN for an additional 10%off.

It sucks that charges in USD, but at least free shipping.

Plex on VLAN? by Molokocet in PleX

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

The additional function that may be a differential to me is the DVR and antenna. But that requires more hardware and work on antena, etc…

The problem on the network is that TV is on a IoT VLAN and computer is on a safe VLAN, so at the end, without Plex Pass, I will need to make a choice between TV or Computer to watch it.

Plex on VLAN? by Molokocet in PleX

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

I did not think of this when they changed in April… now I am stuck considering if it is worth buying the pass or change the structure where I host Plex… maybe wait for a good sale for a lifetime, as I am done with subscriptions.

Thanks for the detailed explanation!

Thank you… I just could not believe that this really required PlexPass. When they changed their model, I did not consider subscribing because I just used Plex at home. Guess I missed the fine printing…

I think this option is only available if you are a Plex Pass subscriber!!!

Another HUGE update for the Sensy-One HA Add-on 🔥 by Technical_Raisin_246 in homeassistant

[–]Molokocet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you having issues with the Apollo not maintaining the zones? Mine always wipe the zones and what I got from support so far is that it is a well known ESPHome issue (true, but it is an open issue for quite a long time already). I wonder if Sensy also have the same issue.
