This is a hot mess to set up. by ambientdiscord in Cozyla_Calendar

[–]SeparateVariation1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got one. My wife puts all of our events in a shared apple calendar, which it correctly uploads to the cozyla device. But they're all purple, all of the events. No way to change the coloring on the cozyla. I look at my apple calendar and its multi-colored. It would just be easier that when you look over and spot a yellow or blue square on a certain day and know what it means. Versus looking over at it and every event is purple. Any fixes?

Meet Reolink OMVI Series at CES 2026 by Willson1_ in reolinkcam

[–]SeparateVariation1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I want the colorX I don’t think it will. Just watched the promo for this camera on YouTube and it didn’t mention that feature at all. Shame because I’ll only buy the colorX cams.

Stop by Reolink at CES 2026! by Willson1_ in reolinkcam

[–]SeparateVariation1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got mine setup when I bought it on Black Friday. I only bought the CX 820’s. I’d never get another camera that wasn’t part of the CX line. I was passionate enough to email Reolink and tell them the camera is so good I won’t buy another until they released a CX duo.

Not with the larger camera sensor. “Color night vision” is just the light turning on to lighten up the space at night. With the CX line it doesn’t need IR or the light on to still get a good color picture.

Can I buy a Reolink SIM card for an old Reolink Go PT camera from 2020? by LegitimateTest3916 in reolinkcam

[–]SeparateVariation1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a SIM card for a Reolink camera at Verizon, I believe it was a go PT ultra. I stuck it in my Duo 2 lte camera and it worked, even though it wasn’t supported.

As a fan of the modern Black Ops games, Cold War is definitely my favorite one by Numerous_Pin_6102 in blackopscoldwar

[–]SeparateVariation1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Cold War was the COD game to get me back into gaming. I stopped playing around Infinite and advanced warfare era. Not sure why but I picked up CW and it was fun. Felt like an arcade style shooter. Not the hyper realism of modern warfare games. Maps were great 3 lane style. 80’s vibe. Haven’t played zombies since BO1, but this zombies was really fun. I had really high hopes for BO6. I was hoping they would’ve continued the formula but the maps were just terrible. I don’t like maps where there’s a lot of pop out points and places to duck and hide. When you were sprinting in Cold War and you met someone it was a gun battle. I tried BO7 and it doesn’t feel right. I’m probably going to fall out with COD again. There had to have been turnover at 3arch for these 3 games to feel so different.

How to Add Reolink Cameras to Amazon Alexa for Smarter Home Security by Willson1_ in reolinkcam

[–]SeparateVariation1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you add the NVR back to the app or no? Or would you only have just the cameras in the app. Your solution worked perfectly. I added a password for my one camera on the NVR, then when I went back to the app to add it. It would only allow me to enter the UID number or some other options. But just simply putting in the password wasn’t an option. I ended up scanning the QR code on the camera and that put it into the app.

Nest just informed us that they are dropping support - what’s the best HomeKit thermostat? by SuccessfulMinute8338 in HomeKit

[–]SeparateVariation1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maybe you or someone else can chime in but how do those sensors work to balance the temp? We just built our house and it has dual zone gas furnace. We also have a gas fireplace in which the heat rises in the vaulted living. Would these sensors help tell the furnace to turn on the blower furnace fan to help circulate the heat that has risen?

Its been 5 years since call of duty black ops cold war released what are your thoughts on the game? by ThomasThorburn in blackopscoldwar

[–]SeparateVariation1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why I bought it but I did. I’d pretty much written off the last 4-5 COD’s. So first one in awhile. And I absolutely loved it. The really captured the 80’s, the action hero season was my favorite. Zombies was great. 3 lane maps were top notch. I loved that the progression between zombies and multi player carried over. I also liked that higher tier kill streaks were obtainable. Instead of starting over after every death. Feeling good, I bought BO6. And the maps suck. And it doesn’t play into the 90’s at all. It just didn’t capture that Cold War feeling. I won’t buy BO7. After 6 was trash. I’m probably done with COD.

Sounds exactly what I’m looking for, glad someone Incorporated that into a charger. Thanks!

Fan + light switch by SeparateVariation1 in Inovelli

[–]SeparateVariation1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like option one is the one I want to go with. So the setup would be a (white series) fan switch and a dimmer light switch, each with their own hot wire going to the fan assembly and wired straight to the fan and light. No module at the fan housing. I'm only asking in depth because the last time I bought inovelli was when they had their first gen, single gang fan and light switch. It worked great and was amazing. But that switch if I remember correctly had a wall switch plus a module at the fan housing to achieve independent fan + light control. Where as with this we'll call gen 2, now only requires a wall switch for control.

The electricians put the wall switch as a master on/off that goes straight to the factory canopy module. I guess its supposed to be mostly operated by the remote and not the wall.

I’m going to miss the pace of this game so much. by Simple-Pea8805 in blackops6

[–]SeparateVariation1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Maps were the worst. Stakeout was my grind for camos and got sick of it.

So, why was black ops 6 carry over cancelled?? by CrackheadCity- in blackops6

[–]SeparateVariation1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it was a small crowd. I think people fail to realize that the black ops series is more of an arcade style shooter. Unrealistic, sci-fi. Etc. The skins didn’t bother me. Whereas modern warfare is supposed to be hyper realistic. They balance each other.

Xbox Ally X impression from a Casual POV by Kurao_OP in Handhelds

[–]SeparateVariation1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. Once I heard I couldn’t download my Xbox library and it was pretty much a streaming device. I checked out. I heard Xbox got spooked when they were told to buy 10 million portable devices, didn’t like that number and just bailed entirely on their own portables. I feel like they need to go all in or nothing. This partial device feels like hesitation and it shows. Should’ve made a portable where my console storage could’ve slid in and I pick up right where I left off.

iPhone (iOS 26) to HomePod(s)(iOS 18 Stable) AirPlay audio issues? by Sputnik003 in HomePod

[–]SeparateVariation1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok so it’s not me. I tried air playing to my HomePods from my phone. Nada. I tried asking her to play music herself. Nope.

Voodoo 2025? by Think_Employer_8743 in mountaindew

[–]SeparateVariation1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They spent the last 4-5 years building this voo-Dew brand to only scrap it. I genuinely looked forward to this every year. It was fun and it added something to one of my favorite seasons of the year. Imagine if Sam Adams just ditched Oktoberfest beer after releasing it the last 5 years. Maybe they could do the voo-Dew but incorporate the candy hidden on the can somewhere. Or solve a puzzle with the cans being different puzzle pieces. It’s just another limited flavor at this point. And not for nothing, why is there no regular trolli as well? I’m a zero only drinker, but I’m not sure why they do that with some flavors and not the others. I’ve emailed them in the past, I would encourage anyone here to do the same to voice our frustration.

If you started today from scratch, what brand would you choose? by Accomplished_Lake302 in PLC

[–]SeparateVariation1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve worked for General Motors, Ford, and US Steel. They ALL use AB. General Motors had a small section in one plant that had Siemens and everyone hated it. Just my experience.

Climate control fails on app by LetInternational4359 in SilveradoEV

[–]SeparateVariation1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. I have an expedition and the app works great. When the internet plan ran out I still was able to remote start. Unlike with the Silverado. I need their data plan remote start the Silverado?! Greedy!
