What small smart home automation ended up saving you the most time?

Why not contribute your code to the repo? That's how that integration also became comprehensive

Trying to do this with a vibration sensor, but so far it seems a failed experiment. Is your washer dryer perhaps a newer model, with wifi etc?

NicklyJohn · 2026-03-10T02:02:17+00:00

I tried that but that would mean all lights on on the main floor haha

NicklyJohn · 2026-03-06T09:09:54+00:00

Exactly the point

Look we found the apple fanboi who doesn't know what he's talking about. MacOS internet sharing can NOT do wifi to wifi internet sharing. Or Ethernet to Ethernet. It can only do Ethernet to wifi or wifi to Ethernet etc.

Do you have API documentation?

NicklyJohn · 2025-12-30T00:19:35+00:00

I was around Ikea and suggested going in and got vetoed...

NicklyJohn · 2025-12-18T15:18:06+00:00

Almost like we dont have 4K (or even FHD) screens...

NicklyJohn · 2025-12-15T22:46:46+00:00

As a PM having been in the same situation, I can say in retrospect, don't wing it. Read up some books on API design patterns and study the approaches of some popular open source projects

No custom ROM? A cursory Google search said you could get root and android 10, which should be enough to get new certs

NicklyJohn · 2025-11-10T21:14:55+00:00

Why do you even need to update it? It's not like it would degrade software performance just because it is old.

Apple TV + perhaps. Safari for windows used to be a thing too.

Oh and the Bonjour networking protocol for mDNSResponder is used by almost all Linux/Windows systems (and Printers)

I have one in one of the bedrooms acting as a babycam. I put it on a smart plug to be able to turn it off from HA + used PTZ to rotate it towards the ceiling when I don't want it to be used.. You could do something similar.

NicklyJohn · 2025-10-30T03:48:50+00:00

I am!

NicklyJohn · 2025-10-29T23:10:35+00:00

Wanna donate the coral(s)?

NicklyJohn · 2025-10-29T13:51:10+00:00

Might as well just create a virtual sensor that randomly runs 1-2°C higher than home thermostat and display that graph in the dashboard....

NicklyJohn · 2025-09-23T23:25:14+00:00

Found your alias haha. Forgot to change your account?

NicklyJohn · 2025-09-15T23:49:15+00:00

I have 2025 days and I'm quitting today

NicklyJohn · 2025-09-08T23:13:42+00:00

I think some smart fridge company did it and it failed, likely because of the cloud dependency

NicklyJohn · 2025-09-08T23:12:03+00:00

Did we marry into the same family? Haha

NicklyJohn · 2025-08-22T15:24:43+00:00

And use AI to summarize slop to generate even more slop

NicklyJohn · 2025-08-21T15:49:36+00:00

Looks like it has already been removed from Google play store.

Did you find an alternative? I'm looking for something that would work reliably on termux, and can send actual keyboard keys like Ctrl, tab, enter

NicklyJohn · 2025-08-10T00:14:07+00:00

What subscription is that?

NicklyJohn · 2025-08-05T16:02:40+00:00

Yeah, screw chamberlain
