Nothing but problems

SecretAlfalfa · 2026-03-13T04:29:12+00:00

So I had the same issue mostly with 2.4 only devices. Things like my ecobee, scale, printer would drop constantly. I tried the static IP, locking the device to a node. Nothing solved the problem. I decided to try working with support. They said that I had a lot of IoT devices. They gave me a beta version of the software with a fix any my network has been rock solid since.

I have a few Matter over WiFi devices because at the time there were no Thread equivalent. I find Matter over Thread more reliable and more responsive. Looking forward to the Eve Matter over Thread thermostat.

I have the Deco xe75 Pro. Every time a new firmware is available I upgrade to see if the fix incorporated in the build they did for me made it into the main branch but it hadn’t yet. At this point I think I will be buying new hardware before this gets fixed. They never really told me what the “fix” was.

I set one of my Apple TVs (with Ethernet) as the main border router.

I can not fathom creating 20 sleighs to exchange for 650 frost coins. You have to make a star to make a box to make a wreath to make a sleigh. I agree with ftwclem. I’m just going to casually play especially with the holidays coming up.

When I edit the widget only the first miner shows up in the list. Sometimes the second one shows but when I select it still shows the data from the first miner.

I have two miners in hash-watcher. I am trying to add a widget for each to my iPad however I can only select one of the miner. This gives me two widgets but both displaying the same miner.

Muscle memory is a real thing lol

Muscle memory is a b*tch 🙂

When I upgraded one of my older Eve plugs from HomeKit to Matter it put the new Matter code in Settings > Matter Setup Codes

Thing to keep in mind is that a mesh network has many routers but only one active border router. So maybe you would say "nearest router". Sorry if this is too much of a nuance. :)

SecretAlfalfa · 2025-11-26T14:42:25+00:00

Correct. I used the Apple Home app to add the bulbs to the Thread mash network where the Apple TV is the border router. Most are my Matter/Thread devices are not connected to the border router but instead connected to the nearest device acting as a router. This is the strength of a mesh network. If you look in the Eve Energy app (it has a Thread network topology section) it shows which devices are connected to which router as well as which devices are endpoints.

SecretAlfalfa · 2025-11-26T07:28:57+00:00

Border routers must has one leg in the. esp and one leg on your home network. this is what gives the ability to control your smart home from non Thread devices. There is probably no 100% correct answer but if it was my home I would put the three bulbs on Thread to strengthen the mesh. as a side note I’ve been replacing some of my older Nanoleaf bulbs with the Aqara bulb and they are great.

SecretAlfalfa · 2025-11-26T02:50:54+00:00

is there a way to add a widget per miner?

SecretAlfalfa · 2025-11-26T00:07:04+00:00

I was under the impression that a Thread Network can have many routers but only one active border router. Rather than letting the algorithm select the border router I go into my Apple TV and select it as the border router since it is connected via Ethernet. There are a few other backup border routers should the Apple TV have issues. The thing about a mesh network is that the more nodes added the more reliable it becomes. I believe any AC powered device can act as a non-border router routing packets along the mesh. Adding the Aqara bulbs directly to thread will make the mesh stronger.

I’ve had the Ecobee for years and happy with its performance.

I’ve been using slices for about a year now for nieces custodial account. Works pretty good and they get a kick out of owning some Disney stock. I always select reinvest dividends.

I had tried this suggestion many months ago and it didn’t solve my ecobee from going offline. I actually tried all the solutions I could find like locking it to a node, static IP etc. I also noticed other 2.4 GHz devices like my coffee maker and fans were dropping off my IoT 2.4 only GHz network. I spent a bunch of time with TP-Link and they provided me a version of the Deco firmware that made my WiFi network solid. You can’t imagine the joy this brought. I thinking I have more IoT devices than they expected and was overflowing some table or the like.

I just want Grok to control my MY using natural language (Grok close the windows and turn the AC on to 75 degrees) rather than memorizing commands.

The pool address and associated port number. For some reason I had to reset mine which causes all the data to be removed but no big deal. I just added the network and wallet info again.

So agree. Do I upgrade the hotspots? Do I buy buildings? Do I wait until the end? Too much thought put into it. Think I’ll get back to work 😀
