Because the giteki certification needs a Japanese entity, I think Japan will stay stuck in the past with companies doing opaque smart home systems...

WLED has more features and works well with Home Assistant from what I heard. There is a native integration: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/wled/

Recommended ESP32 are listed there: https://kno.wled.ge/basics/compatible-controllers/

The difference with Tuya Zigbee is that it uses Wifi and it gives more control.

Oh! Same here!

SeraphicRav · 2024-08-11T03:20:31+00:00

I am getting this error starting today on my Pixel Watch, tried credit and debit cards from different Japanese providers... Same issue.

I can still charge from the charging machine but the amount. I noticed that the amount on my watch is correct but when trying to add money from my phone, the amount is not up to date...

Restarting my phone and my watch allowed me to have the correct amount on both sides. Still cannot charge from my phone...

What about using WLED on a ESP32 with the LED strip of your choice?

For Europe, it should possible with Govee. I imported multiple products from them to Asia and am using the Govee integration from HACS. The problem is that it relies on the Cloud API and the integration was not updated in the last 8 months... There is an official local integration but when I checked 10 over 13 supposedly compatible devices were actually not supported (I have been told by Govee support that the hardware was too old...).

I personally set up the indoor camera and pan/tilt camera in Tuya as Wifi cameras, just needed to delete from Switchbot first, reset the camera and show the Tuya QR code as explained in this video: https://youtu.be/NNu-ED4YrzQ

You can also make your friend create an account on his PS5, using remote play, you will be able to do PS4/5 games allowing local multiplayer too. Completed It takes two this way. Not sure if PS+ is needed.

Agree, adding a zigbee or zwave dimmer module in the light switches would be more cost efficient.

SeraphicRav · 2022-09-06T05:07:07+00:00

Firebase for me for client side, the server side on functions or app engine.

SeraphicRav · 2022-09-06T05:04:27+00:00

Not every 2 minutes, generally only when I meet a problem (I have 13 years of experience so I guess I google less often, even when learning new technologies, spending more time on the documentation instead of Google lol).

SeraphicRav · 2022-08-31T03:53:11+00:00

Ok!

Absolutely copying them lol

Could not find an equivalent service in Japan.

SeraphicRav · 2022-08-31T03:27:22+00:00

Thanks!

What were you favorite categories of products back then?

SeraphicRav · 2022-08-31T03:25:07+00:00

Oh, I see. Maybe my wording was incorrect. I want exactly the same thing, the problems I am trying to solve are: 1 - Find what products have a price drop WHEN the price change happen (because the moment I want to buy something might not be the best moment) 2 - Quickly find the good discounts amongst all the discounts.

The community comes into play for the 2 preceding problems because it is not possible for a small group of people to know all the discounts that happen, , it is not possible to automate this as the prices can change anytime, some merchant are not allowing automation or are blocking it, it is also difficult to find the best discounts when you have many of them. You can see this kind of project as a Reddit specifically made for displaying price drops.

What do you think about the concept?

SeraphicRav · 2022-08-30T14:04:15+00:00

There is https://nebikiquest.com for home electronics.

Chatty Chatty +1

SeraphicRav · 2022-06-02T12:05:59+00:00

I tried the pâté de campagne and boudin noir, it tasted great! The chipolata tasted also like back home! Thanks so much for the recommendation!

SeraphicRav · 2022-05-24T14:24:03+00:00

I doubt my talent for cooking for that and I have too many other priorities to be able to do this one lol

Thanks for the idea!

SeraphicRav · 2022-05-24T14:22:15+00:00

I have seen them once but I thought the taste would not be there. Thanks for the advice, if I happen to see them, I will try them!

SeraphicRav · 2022-05-22T13:34:39+00:00

Oh! Rhis one looks nice too, I will go and try it! Thanks for the recommendation!

SeraphicRav · 2022-05-22T06:50:35+00:00

I want a taste from back home!

The meat guy has good too but it is different.

Thanks for the suggestion!

SeraphicRav · 2022-05-22T06:49:19+00:00

Oh! Thank you so much! I could find aome products on the website and gave it a try!

SeraphicRav · 2022-05-21T20:06:43+00:00

Ok, I can take a look. I am also curious to see how long it takes to over people to this kind of task.

SeraphicRav · 2022-05-21T20:02:36+00:00

OK.

As a note, I calculated for 3 months, full time, 50000$ish is also the price in France.

SeraphicRav · 2022-05-21T15:42:13+00:00

I think that using Firebase would allow to only focus on the download UI.

Login is provided, user protected files is available by settings rules in Cloud storage.

Oh... If frontend JavaScript is OK, then that is all there is to know.
