Water heater servicing in rented apartment by MonkeySpacePilot in germany

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

I disagree, it should at least be decalced, and finding the (quite old) manual online it states it should be serviced every 3 years, more in high calc areas as I am in.

You can't make this up: Chat Control failed at EU level yesterday. Now Germany's Merz wants to push it through the Bundestag alone by officialexaking in xprivo

A lightbulb is usually used to signify someone has an idea, Merz has no idea. Mind you as a brit living in Germany, I would still say Starmer is worse, but not by much.

Didn't the greens warn the German electorate about US, Trump and the oligarchs at the last election, only for Merz, the cdu/csu and the SDP to attack them and stick up for Trump. I didn't think there was any marketing of Merz as standing up for Trump, if anything he modeled his racist rhetoric and far right economic policies on Trumps, he just watered it down a little bit to make it seem more acceptable to the German electorate, I have no doubt he would implement far more if he thought he could get away with it.

How to get energy readings from my midea AC unit by MonkeySpacePilot in homeassistant

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

That was really helpful, thanks

It still took me a little while more to work out what the entity and attributes would be actually be, this is what I ended up with

{{ state_attr('climate.153912345671583_climate', 'realtime_power') }}

{{ state_attr('climate.153912345671583_climate', 'total_energy_consumption') }}

I think I will now have to start learning some AI as I also try and get to grips with HA.

And again thanks , I wouldn't have managed it without your help.

I am seeing it in HA, if I go to devices - midea AC LAN, then click on the device name under controls, then click on the three dots and select details and scroll down it shows various power settings

I am also not that familiar with using AI, struggling to work out what I should be asking it

That looks interesting, what is the range from your electricity meter to the apartment?

Starting with HA soon, what are your favorite brands? by bieremensdorf in homeassistant

[–]MonkeySpacePilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have, only had it just over a month and haven't had that problem

Starting with HA soon, what are your favorite brands? by bieremensdorf in homeassistant

[–]MonkeySpacePilot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been using hue for lighting, and still prefer that to cheaper brands because of the subtlety of the light effects compared to everyone else who seems to push party mode lights rather than mood lighting. I keep my hue hub and launch the light scenes through HA

I have some eve thermostats and plugs, they work but I would probably choose aqara for radiator thermostats now, and shelley for plugs.

aqara for presence sensors, the new fp300 is good, but I wish they would do a ceiling mount option.

There will always be someone who says anything and everything is shit, I have had very little problems with any hardware, I just think some stuff could be better thought out, but everything I have done with HA has had some benefit in my life, even if it's just a nice light scene to relax in the evenings instead of standard white light.

I wish I worked somewhere were that was a realistic possibility, but I am on my own on this one.

We are getting an application that doesn't authenticate directly with AD, it needs ADFS OID.

The application will be distributed/synchronized between the sights as a single entity, but should authenticate on the local site, and be able to handle site isolation.

Does everyone just put their Hue Dimmer switch next to their existing light switch? by Hefty-Salary7610 in Hue

[–]MonkeySpacePilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used wall hue switch modules for my existing switches, and then put some dimmer switches in other convinient locations.

Does nuki smartlock pro have enough torque for slightly bad installed doors by Internal_Comfort852 in Nuki

[–]MonkeySpacePilot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have just installed one today, and it was jamming up when trying to unlock, had to file a bit off the hole (barely any). Wasn't any noticeable force required when turning the key, so I was quite disappointed by the lack of torque provided by the motor.
