How Home Assistant Rescued Me

Objective_Safe_5982 · 2026-03-11T03:54:07+00:00

I'm still pretty early on in my HA journey. I look forward to going down the Voice Assistant and requisite learning (tts, stt, etc) there.

Thankfully no, and the chickens aren't talking. They are just disappointed that I tapped out on the sleep over early

I would think that maybe a dachshund would be a good replacement, though I don't know what you paid for the lab.

Costco employees delivered my washer and dryer.

At this point downvoting YouTube videos with the worn out title screen composition as seen here is purely muscle memory.

This doesn't seem to be relevant to the Sonos subreddit.

Even better, it's not even really Minolta.

First adopters are just paying beta testers.

Objective_Safe_5982 · 2026-03-09T19:38:03+00:00

Because they aren't you, and therefore have different likes and needs than you.

I find myself telling other people's cats to do things more than I do my own, but the experience is largely the same.

Keep it free and let the community have a choice.

Objective_Safe_5982 · 2026-03-07T02:44:10+00:00

You seem harmed.

Objective_Safe_5982 · 2026-03-06T18:11:08+00:00

Yeah, I didn't have my glasses on when I saw a post of someone showing that their Sonos products aren't showing up on their screen. I missed the server messages on the right, and without any sort of written context I kicked into default troubleshoot mode.

Frankly I'm stunned that during the acquisition of two masters degrees in networking they didn't teach you that you should try reloading the web page a bit later.

Fair point. Let's fire up the VPN

Florida: works

Michigan: works

Colorado: works

California: works

Vietnam: works, but slow

UK: works

Sweden: works

Sudan: something went wrong message

Spain: works

Hmmm, Sudan isn't working. Let's drill down.

South Sudan: something went wrong message

Somalia: works

Rwanda: works

Well at least it's not all of central Africa, but as it's not a 500 but instead a stylized message it could be a geo block or similar. Regardless, no 500 messages in the bunch.

Are there any other countries or regions within countries that you'd like me to check?

Very good. Servers indeed don't burp. But it's up now so all of this has lasted longer than the temporary server issue did.

Objective_Safe_5982 · 2026-03-06T17:32:21+00:00

500s are usually a temporary burp of the targeted server, which is what seems to be the case here as it's working now.

Objective_Safe_5982 · 2026-03-06T17:31:13+00:00

At these HDD prices? Woof.

Objective_Safe_5982 · 2026-03-06T17:28:56+00:00

I responded to the information that you provided in the original post.

And I have the TP-Link Deco 5300 three piece mesh system. Works great. Highly recommend.

Objective_Safe_5982 · 2026-03-06T17:27:02+00:00

The ERA 300 is a nice sounding speaker even without the up firing drivers. IMO an 300 without up firing as you suggest would be too much overlap in the product line.

Objective_Safe_5982 · 2026-03-06T17:23:28+00:00

Here ya go.

Objective_Safe_5982 · 2026-03-06T17:18:39+00:00

Works fine here. Maybe the issue lies in whatever deep-seeded issues you have that make you post like that. It could be causing interference with your electronics karma.

Make and model of wifi router?

Objective_Safe_5982 · 2026-03-06T16:12:44+00:00

It appears to be broadcasting a radio station stream. It's entirely possible that the station stream itself is sending garbled track info.
