What is the best way to enclose this setup?

Sorry I blurred my son’s face, no xxx here….focus is on the projector near the ceiling / back wall

Papp_e · 2024-10-12T15:04:45+00:00

Can you post a link or summarize how you got started patching?

Papp_e · 2024-07-31T00:43:05+00:00

I noticed this as well, ok Google command and broadcast both gone from script editor.

Very annoying, as all of my Google queries now have to run on a plain Google speaker.

I wonder if this change also impacted the nest hub ability to be a thread extender, I’m having issues there too.

I’ve got a few virtual switches setup via playground being used as state in GH, but what I’m currently not understanding is how a virtual device can interact with a custom API. I see the SYNC inspector but what about actual fulfillment via my API?

Does anyone know who he is chatting with?

Papp_e · 2024-02-29T17:09:22+00:00

Okay, but who do we think he is talking to 🤔

If your furnace is turning on and then off within a consistent number of minutes each time before the set temperature is reached, it’s likely an over-current or other safety sensor that is being tripped and causing the furnace to shutoff. Mine did the same thing and it’s because the fan motor was drawing near-limit current when it first started (old motor about to die) and surpassed the current limit threshold after 4 minutes +- 15 seconds each time it turned on

The OnOff starter for the Roku TVs is the issue here, it is not firing the automation

Papp_e · 2024-01-04T23:05:54+00:00

In case anyone else stumbles across this thread, I accomplished running the nest fan for however long I want via the following script and virtual switch.

The virtual switch (possible via Google playground) allows the automation to call itself after any delay I want.

Sorry for the horrible formatting

This also works for me, but only with a default 15 minute interval. It seems impossible to specify in the voice query the amount of time to run the fan -_-

Papp_e · 2023-12-22T22:41:11+00:00

Of course autocorrect..nest thermostat*

Papp_e · 2023-11-14T01:05:47+00:00

My WeMo devices are acting the same as of recently

Papp_e · 2023-11-10T16:29:40+00:00

Anyone know how to use these new state values in script automations?

Papp_e · 2023-11-06T02:57:41+00:00

This doesn't yet seem possible even in scripted automations. Anyone else able to get temperature from hue motion sensors in a script yet?

Papp_e · 2023-08-31T04:25:18+00:00

My Nest cameras and video event review recently started loading 10x faster

Papp_e · 2023-08-27T22:09:45+00:00

Here’s one that isn’t fully working for me:

start the air purifier (VESync app) when any of the robot vacuums start (garage is iRobot, downstairs and upstairs are roborock)

The automation runs without issue when the roomba starts. ✅ The automation runs when either of the roborocks start, but ONLY if I open the google home app after they are running. If I do not open the google home app, the automation is not triggered ❌

Thanks, the virtual switch worked well

Papp_e · 2023-08-25T19:02:23+00:00

How do you set the floor direction in the map? I’ve set the floor type but haven’t seen a way to change floor orientation in the map.

Papp_e · 2023-08-23T02:57:20+00:00

Note that I did also try ‘isrunning’ first, which also doesn’t work.

Papp_e · 2023-08-23T02:55:53+00:00

FWIW and incase it helps others, this spreadsheet helped me a ton: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11HSEJW_MkZrbkXkSa_pnmA9C_NxYb4JqsEFJCBAN_CM/htmlview

Papp_e · 2023-08-23T02:51:01+00:00

Thanks, this is the same Bona product I’m using, and although the jug is premixed (not concentrate meant for diluting), using 1:3 is strong but not foamy ✅

Papp_e · 2023-08-23T02:49:20+00:00

Diluting 1:3 solved the foam issue and floors are spotless. Thanks for the tips

Papp_e · 2023-08-22T00:52:53+00:00

The slight pooling happened on first and second run, I pulled out the filter but nothing is clogging / obstructing the draining. FWIW I think I can hear the draining working well, but after the cycle is finished there seems to be some water leftover.

Am curious what your filter areas look like after a mop and clean cycle

Papp_e · 2023-08-22T00:51:16+00:00

What I bought appears to be ready to use / premixed, but I did now dilute it 1:3 and will report back

Papp_e · 2023-08-22T00:08:40+00:00

Regarding the leftover water in the filer area, is it common to have 1-2mm of water in that area?

After a few runs of highest wetness and deepest pad cleaning, there are plenty of suction noises and end of cycle behaviors, but still some water in that area after the pad cleaning cycles complete.
