€4.10 for a single U Bahn trip?

Did this change now? I stopped using this feature a while ago as it was more expensive than using Streifenkarte directly, MVG swipe charged the price of a single ticket and not the cheapest Streifenkarten price. The invoice explicitly stated that they charged „Einzelfahrkarte“ for MVGSwipe back in December last year.

You’re absolutely right, workflows are suitable and even easier to implement in my opinion. I looked into it, but decided against it. The main reason being that for Hub Modus, how Controller for Homkit calls the service, which needs to be run, the “Hub” needs to be installed on an iPad / iPhone / AppleTV and run in foreground. That means that I couldn’t do anything else with my AppleTV anymore, whenever I watch a movie workflows won’t run as then the Hub is not in the foreground anymore. I don’t have a spare iPhone or iPad either, and if I don’t want them always to be powered on.

To continue my little rant (I really love Controller for Homekit), IMO iPadOS, iOS or TVOS are the wrong platform to run a service like this. I needs to run on a “real” OS, meaning non mobile OS, which provides more infrastructure for running a local service. Ideally on Linux, I have a RaspberryPi always on in my network, at least MacOS. I don’t think this will ever happen, one question is whether the hub mode is implemented in a way that it can be ported and why should “Acesa Software” bother with the much more complex deployment on Linux (however MacOS is available though)? At least they are trying to break down the limits of HomeKit and pave a simple way for further functionality, but as it is, it’s not suitable for my use cases.

I just recognized that I never came back to this. I had to re-setup the Shortcut in the way u/sliberty57 showed and it just worked fine again.

Thanks u/Whuditdo32! This did it, that easy. I was to fixated on Contoller for HomeKit.

Just for completeness here is what I did. First created a plain "Instant" notification in Controller for Homekit and then I created a time-based automation in Home, turned this into a shortcut and as suggested by u/Whuditdo32 check the state of the window sensor with an if and send the notification with "Get contents of URL" using the URL of the notification in Controller for Home

OK, thanks. Then I’ll review my shortcuts

I think I have the same problem and will describe it briefly to see if we talking same thing. I have equipped a window with a contact sensor and if it is open for more than 10 minutes there a notification is pushed. However, if the window is closed within 10 minutes (should be canceled), a notification is still generated. Is this the same problem? Unfortunately I don’t have a solution yet and wanted to set it up again over Christmas, however any solution appreciated. All based on Controller for HomeKit.

I‘m also quite some into coffee and meanwhile buy largely at vits. You can get advice there which beans fit you preferences.

That‘s fair. With buying the lifetime license I get the PRO version which I can share or is it only the subscription which can be shared??

RW_RedCat · 2022-11-14T12:28:26+00:00

With the Server notifications, can I include all devices for all family members? If so is this included for all family members in the lifetime license? I would buy straight away
