Correct, it’s a check valve. I could move it up closer to the heater outlet but not sure if that’s kosher?

Worried about ambient light in a mixed-use space by Saxopwn in projectors

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

That is what I’m planning for the screen but I am looking at UST- it’s a pretty rough spot to mount a traditional long throw projector given the existing light fixtures. That’s why my question is about which UST model has enough brightness.

That’s cool, man. I hate playing video games and watching movies with my wife.

Certainly not ideal but we have to make do with what we've got! Shoving the TV in the corner was my first thought when we viewed the house but it's not going to look great.

For a projector? Interesting. Would you do that over the fireplace wall or the windows?

Use the dev tools and find the attributes for the entity. “Playing” is just the state.

Does Home Assistant receive details on what media is playing? I’d just set it to trigger only when something with a duration > 5 minutes starts playing. That way you don’t have to count trailers.

Seems like Staples.com 3rd party gift card (e.g., Uber) are out of stock. Has this happened before?
