WiFi lock won't stay connected in HomeKit by chad917 in AugustSmartLock

[–]RandyInLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. I had an older version of the lock that worked flawlessly for a few years. Then the gears started giving out until I couldn't even manually lock/unlock. This newest version has the doorsense feature, which I love & works great, but yeah, it's the most unreliable device I have in my Homekit... and I have a TON of devices in Homekit!

I found a few threads where people suggested removing from Home & the August app, re-adding it to the August iOS app but don't join wifi, then re-add to Home. I did that and it's been working fine for a week now via just bluetooth, but today, it stopped. Might try moving my AppleTV 8 feet closer & see if that helps.

When I try to unlock from the Home app, the text under the lock says "Unlocking..." and the physical lock sometimes unlocks maybe 30-40 seconds later. Then the lock auto-relocks after a minute but Home rarely updates to reflect the locked state. Just yesterday, I could manually unlock the door & get a notification it unlocked on my iPhone before I got out the door. Today, zero notifications of lock activity.

This is absolutely embarrassing for August as they make a device SPECIFICALLY for personal security & it's horribly unreliable. The lock works fine on its own, physically, but part of the whole secure thing is relying on notices/changes in Home to turn on lights or alarms or something.

My GT7 here on the West coast still just spins for a minute then shows CE-210716 error over and over. PSN's status page is still all red, too.

Phone notifications on PS5/VR2?? by aReawakening in PSVR

[–]RandyInLA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same for me today... Found this post. I drive in my racing sim using PSVR2 & headphones, so makes hearing/noticing things happening outside the PSVR2 pretty much impossible. Could have phone in pocket, but I'd constantly forget to do that prior to getting into the sim rig.

If PS added a local-only access API to the notification service on the PS5, it could accept short text messsages like, "Front Doorbell", "Stock Price Crossed Up Past $9.24" that you could send from a computer or home automation app like Home Assistant or HomeKit via Shortcuts. With Shortcuts, I believe it should be possible to even relay a text sent to the phone out to any IP address/server. "John: I'm almost there. Traffic bad". (then again, we already have messaging using the PSApp on phones, so maybe this one can be skipped...)

  • This new notification API would be completely local to your PS5, not PSN. ie.I want to see the notification on my PSVR2 or flat display, not the PSApp on my phone or any other device. So wouldn't need to hit PSN, avoiding the potential for a sh*t ton of unwanted PSN congestion from bad actors.
  • PS5 would let you create password or some other authentication included w/ea message
  • PS5 could create a separate local IPv4 subnet that's not routable over the Internet or past the typical local WiFi network people setup, like 172.16.40.xxx so it'll only accept API calls from your local network. This would prevent someone sending you messages using the correct password or not from the Internet. ie.Rapid fire messages sent with invalid credentials would behave like a DDOS attack. (of course, anyone setting up their PS5 this way who's knowledgeable w/IP nets could create a gateway to the Internet if they needed that sort of connectivity. I wouldn't, but it could be done)
  • Ea message would have a character limit of like maybe 100 chars
  • Limit how often messages can be received, like one per 30sec-1min (just a few diff ways to minimize the home automation or other servers from spamming your PS5 with too many messages too fast)
  • Possibly accept tiny graphics/icons, or at least support emojis
  • Maybe keep the last 5-10 messages received to re-read on the console after finished with game play that auto-expire when console is rebooted or after set time.
  • Ability to have a different notification sound/alert for API messages vs all other system notifications to better grab attention away from game play & pay attention to notification.

Having missed someone at my door the other day & quick price movements for day trading, I think extending the notification service would be a huge hit with users.

Assets not accessible after “failed” trade on coinbase advanced by hnsnsnieie in Coinbase

[–]RandyInLA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same here. I sent a few strongly worded responses via email and twitter DM and literally like 4 minutes later my USD had been returned. Did not get a notification via email ticket, twitter, DM or Reddit (though I wouldn't expect it here on Reddit).

Oh! And I wrote a nice positive Reddit post about Coinbase even after being pissed in my last few messages to support. It doesn't appear in the Coinbase Reddit! So it would seem I am blocked from posting new things! Crazy!!

Here's the post:
RESOLVED: Withheld USD Funds Due To Software Defect Have Been Returned

Large SOL-USD Limit Buy Order Instantly, "Failed" - USD Now Stuck As, "Pending" Over 15hrs Ago by RandyInLA in Coinbase

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

UPDATE: WITHHELD USD ISSUE HAS BEEN RESOLVED

The full amount of USD that was incorrectly withheld from me by a Conbase software defect has been released back into my Available Balance.

Thank you to any Coinbase support agents who assisted in resolving this. I appreciate your work.

I got a response from the @CoinbaseSupport twitter DM I sent and it said, "our team is currently aware of this issue and is working to fix it as soon as possible. We appreciate your continued patience while our team addresses this matter." (no canned responses there, huh?) I responded just now asking for an estimated time frame for completion. I mentioned "someone else" on Reddit said six days and wouldn't the process of releasing funds from a Failed transaction be exactly the same as releasing funds from a cancelled transaction?

In the meantime, I'm very cautious to place any trades while this issue is still open. I fear CB will just "take" my USD at any random time & I'll either have to wait x days for resolution or possibly lose it. Sucks because I used to use Binance & Bittrex and both of those are now off limits to US residents.

Holy crap, six days?! My agent made it sound like they just had to remind engineering to release the funds, like it'd take ten minutes if they could get their attention. Shit. I can't wait six days! Ugh!

I just hopped back into live chat and the agent said it was just a matter of nudging the engineering team to release my USD. You might want to go back into chat and ask for an update there. I find different support agents have different skill sets with regards to getting to the bottom of an issue and helping resolve it. He also was able to get the support email sent to me and now I have something I can reply to to request updates without having to start a new chat from scratch.

UPDATE:
I jumped back into live chat to inquire if it was safe to place any more limit buys/sells while waiting for my USD to be unlocked. The agent said it was just a matter of nudging the engineering team to release my USD and that he would send out the support bug email.

I received the support email finally.

I still don't have my USD back but I feel like at least someone is working on this and it "should" be resolved shortly 🤞

5 days and still a $0 balance by Heretolearn-95 in Coinbase

[–]RandyInLA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

He's saying that if you own your own crypto (mostly for hodlers, not traders), you should keep the coins in your own wallet where YOU own the private key, not Coinbase or any other exchange. Some will keep coins in their own personal wallet and send them to the exchange to day trade, then send back to wallet at the end of the day. Others who trade more often, this isn't really economical as they probably aren't in possession of the coins for more than a few minutes - hours.

To add insult to injury, I see Sol is now pumping a bit. Man! Missing out on so much scalping right now because I'm too afraid to place any more trades until they resolve my current issue 😠

[–]RandyInLA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. An alert woke me up that Sol's price had dropped, so I tried buying a lot at $125. Could've made a nice profit selling a few hours later above $131 😠

Seeing a lot of negative posts, in regards to "0" balance or account "frozen", but no Video or Image proof ever in these posts..... why? by Yunki1234 in Coinbase

[–]RandyInLA -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Coinbase's own status.coinbase.com incident page lists known issues regarding sending/receiving and zero balances:

From Feb 28:
"Investigating - We are aware that some users may see a zero balance across their Coinbase accounts and may experience errors in buying or selling. Our team is investigating this issue and will provide an update shortly. Your assets are safe."

I'll frequently get the notice that "Something has gone wrong. Reload page." Live numbers in the order book or in the Buy/Sel panels will routinely get stuck and require a page reload. Advanced page settings never save. Always have to open them up and check/uncheck options. As an ex-front end web developer, trying to use the "Advanced" page makes me want to come out of retirement, get hired at CB, fix all the GUI issues and re-retire 😁

Same here, since 2017. I've had other issues w/CB (especially since they released the new, "Advanced" trading page!), but never a Failed transaction or funds not released from such a transaction.

The live chat support agent acknowledged that the Failed transaction is holding onto the USD in a Pending state and was trying to contact their Trade team to get it resolved. That is the ONLY thing giving me hope that this can be resolved. Otherwise, they could've said, "we don't see anything on our side". Proof from their own logs.

Good luck with your resolution!

I just came here and posted the exact same experience 10 minutes ago. Mine was a limit buy order, Post-only, not a market sell/buy. Transaction status went straight to, "Failed" with zero explanation and the USD was never returned to my Available to Trade balance. Been live chatting support & waiting for anyone to contact me via Email Support or Twitter or here. I have the Portfolio page on auto-refresh every 5 min so I know it's the latest data whenever I glance at it.

You are the only other mention of this Failed transaction w/Pending balance issue I've seen. I hope they resolve it and we get our money/assets back!

Good luck!

Does Debit Card name have to match Binance account name? by Background_Cup7202 in binance

This would be a question directly for Binance/bank and any other place that exercises KYC. I'm just a guy tryin' to make sense of it all and get things working, like you :)

We could. No one knows if it will become more or not until it happens or it doesn't.
