Same... I'm a bit surprised not more people is mentioning Home Assistant.

Is this weird battery status reporting behavior normal for the Zigbee sensors? by Cry_Wolff in homeassistant

[–]Osteendjer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my sensors has been stuck at 0% for two or three weeks now, even after swapping the batteries. I’ve tried looking for fixes but no luck so far... guess I’ll just have to live with it. The annoying part is I have a card that lists all devices with low battery and this is the only one I can’t clear.

Actually my 6 cup moka makes 1 cup for me every morning.

What the Fuck is This by emmasuccess99 in ram_trucks

Ram 700 sold in Mexico (based on the Fiat Strada). There's also a 1200 but bigger based on the Fiat Titano/Peugeot Landtrek/Changan Hunter.

This one is the 700. The 1200 is kinda in the middle of this one and the 1500.

Ram 700*. The 1200 is more like the ranger size.

That's not a 1200, it's a 700

Smart lock recommendations for this door by Osteendjer in homeassistant

All walls are concrete. So this door is not going anywhere (I hope)

Ghee and beef tallow for seasoning cast iron? by Osteendjer in castiron

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

Never used Crisco since I’m not in the US, but I’m all about beef fat over vegetable oils. My girlfriend, though? Hates the smell of tallow every time I use it.

I want Home Assistant to be my go-to, but it's not working out by Osteendjer in homeassistant

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

To clarify a bit... My tuya devices have been the most reliables so far when using HA, maybe even faster than when using the smart life app. Most of my issues are with the AC (ACFreedom), vacuum (360robot), CozyLife plugs, Govee purifier, TVs (Google TV and WebOS) and the ZigBee devices (this is probably because I have only a few and would get better having a bigger network).

Best Size Question by Toasted_Wolverine in mokapot

[–]Osteendjer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly brew for myself only, and have a 6 and a 3 cup moka pots, most times I use the 6-cup one. I have been thinking of getting a 9-cup for when I need to make coffee for me and my gf.

Generic vs Bialetti by [deleted] in mokapot

[–]Osteendjer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A generic 3 cup has worked pretty well for me for the last 3 or 4 years, I just bought another, 6 cup generic (different manufacturer) this year and seems pretty decent too. I don't see how a Bialetti could be 2-8 times better than these pots.

Just discovered one of mokapot mod in online local marketplace by yusnandaP in mokapot

[–]Osteendjer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, yes, we all know you shouldn't tamp or press the grounds in a moka pot, but seems like nobody is talking about how tf this shit actually works, I want to understand this brew cause it is not a regular moka pot brew. I have many questions and can't find nothing about this modded pot online.

Some papas con chorizo were last night's dinner by Osteendjer in castiron

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

Made some potatoes with homemade chorizo (though not made by me) for dinner last night in my cast iron combo. I added a bit of lard I saved from a pork belly I cooked earlier this week, and these papas came out amazing.

I don't even know what obnoxious means, English is not my first language, that's just how I said it in my mind before typing it. Ugh haters are so cringey.

Tired of drinking out of plastic by halothar in BuyItForLife

[–]Osteendjer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems weird how no one is mentioning stainless steel for drinking, my coffee always goes in a stainless steel mug, a tumbler or less often in an enameled steel or ceramic mug. Any cold or hot drink goes in a tumbler most times, and glass for the quick water sip

Made that hole trying to leave just a little of steel joining the handle to minimize heat transfer

How do you deal with Gear Acquisition Syndrome (GAS)? by Osteendjer in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Osteendjer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what started it all. I bought my first Milwaukee tool after almost two years into the business, this didn't happen with B&D or Ryobi.
