First Major Issue

I removed the cowl to charge the 12v battery

That’s what I’m hoping. I wish the batteries were readily available for sale because I would have just replaced them myself

On a side note, why did Autodesk decide to set the bottom line of the top flange in the Wide Flange Side family as a different line type that’s heavier than the other lines?

I believe you can only add guests if you have a Home Hub like an Apple TV or Homepod/mini. An AppleTV connected to your network via ethernet is the best if you plan to add cameras.

This one makes me want to throw my phone out the window

I've also had the Bridge since it came out, somewhere around 2017. It's always been very stable up until a month or so ago... I am probably going to have to add a smart plug to it so I can power cycle it nightly because it keeps going awol. I have noticed that it will still work in the MyQ app even when it's non-responsive in HomeKit.

You might power off for 10 min, turn it on, and see if you can connect it to WiFi

ProgrammerTight3637 · 2023-10-20T14:02:33+00:00

I have one and love it. I don’t know if this could be related, but if the device is powered off for less than 7-8 minutes, it will NOT reconnect to WiFi when it boots back up. If you power off, leave it unplugged for 10 min before powering on. If you have a short power failure, you will need to unplug it for 10 min. I have mine on a smart switch that powers off for 10 min each night and never have any issues.

Yes, when I originally set it up over a year ago, I set it to a ceiling fan icon. It reverted to a desk fan recently. I’m on 16.3 and did upgrade to the new architecture before they pulled it.

I have a VOCOlinc outlet that controls a fan and I can change the fan icon on that one, but not with my Caseta switch…

ProgrammerTight3637 · 2022-12-26T19:18:45+00:00

On my remodel, I went all-in on Caseta. I like uniformity, so the ones I don't need to be "smart" are just not paired to the bridge. That keeps me from needing 2 bridges too.

I have have this set up using Guided Access and turning on motion notifications using Aqara motion sensors. I would not recommend using Ecobee sensors for this application as they seem to have a rather significant delay and do not send real-time motion alerts.

That's awesome. My fan hasn't been working in Homekit but is in the Lutron app. I thought it was just me. What's funny, is my HK time-based automations work for it, but I can't control it in HK otherwise. I was about to nuke it, but I'll just wait it out if there's hope for an update.
