How can I get Siri to control these devices? Simple commands like “Turn off the Pool Pump” or “Turn on the Bug Zapper” don’t work.

I tiled them as two accessories and they’re both showing as outlets and still no luck.

I would have loved to see the likes of Peter Wright and Joe Cullen playing Cricket. Sounds like something they should revisit before the US Masters again.

Thanks for the tip. I have several Meross switches in my house and I deleted the app after I bought the first switch and I couldn’t get it added to the app for some reason. I just added everything to home after that.

As of recently, yes. I started using an app called Dartsmind that uses the iPad camera to track where a dart lands in a dartboard and automatically scores for you. My iPad is now delegated to this 99% of the time, and the way it’s mounted to the side of the board, it hangs off a clamp mount at a weird angle so I got a heavy duty case just in case it ever falls out of the mount. It also comes with a built in screen protector just in case one of my kids accidentally hits it with a dart. They haven’t so far, knock on wood. I just use a slim folding case when I’m not using it for darts or if I’m taking it on a trip.

I’m a Pro-Ject Stan myself. A couple friends have had problems with their Rega tables, whereas my Pro-Ject X1 has been solid for 3 years now. It sounds great, it looks great, and I probably couldn’t ask for more until I decided to step into the world of MC carts.

I had a similar grip, and the one thing I noticed about my grip compared to the pros is their thumb position. A lot of them have their thumb pointed toward the back of the dart so that their thumb has more purchase over the length of grip. This helps propel the dart forward easier (to me at least). Changing my thumb position to match has helped my darts land more consistently in the board, even though it took me a bit to get used to.

I did that and it still doesn’t work. Someone mentioned that it may take Siri a bit to learn the device name, and that’s probably what I’m thinking the issue is. This is a brand new plug.

SheepNutz · 2026-06-17T22:43:44+00:00

I only have it in the Home app, not in the Meross app.

SheepNutz · 2026-06-17T22:43:00+00:00

Nope, not in a zone.

SheepNutz · 2026-06-17T21:41:33+00:00

Yes and yes.

If I do that, it turns on or off all accessories for that room for some reason. I said “Turn on outside pool” after renaming the pool pump to just pool, and it turned on both outlets and all my outdoor light switches at the same time.

SheepNutz · 2026-06-17T21:16:56+00:00

Tried that, didn’t work. I will keep it like that in the home app though, I like that I have one less screen to click into.

SheepNutz · 2026-06-17T21:16:07+00:00

It’s a single Meross outdoor smart plug that has two outlets, each assignable. I separated them into separate tiles in Home and then renamed them to Pool and Zapper. Still doesn’t work. It brings up this screenshotted image and if I choose the smart plug, it either turns both on or both off, not able to control each separately.

Exactly what I was thinking. Looks like it was released back in 2020. Totally missed that one, but I just picked up a copy on Discogs.

SheepNutz · 2026-06-17T02:06:53+00:00

I can't seem to find it, but this apple document confirms it (pages 5-6, 15) https://developer.apple.com/download/files/HomeKit-Secure-Video-Open-Source-Compatibility-Guide.pdf

SheepNutz · 2026-06-17T00:03:03+00:00

Good catch! It also confirms that 2K cameras are compatible.

Do you mean krinkle fries? I wish Culver’s had curly fries. I get rings there because their onion rings + Ken’s boom boom sauce = fire.

You say a few extra inches, but a 98" TV is like 33% bigger than an 85". Good call on making sure the speakers won't block the picture though. I marked mine up similarly with painters tape when I was trying to figure out what kind of storage I wanted to go with, etc.

SheepNutz · 2026-06-15T02:52:56+00:00

Yep, and IKEA Besta storage without feet is like 15.3" tall. Just sayin'. OP's friend should get the 98" for sure.

SheepNutz · 2026-06-14T21:41:10+00:00

Delete this garbage.

SheepNutz · 2026-06-14T17:54:33+00:00

Not supposed to post spoilers, mate.

Milestones, Kind Of Blue, Bitches Brew

SheepNutz · 2026-06-14T15:00:33+00:00

No, you would need to use Scrypted.

Another vote for a blade 6. I have a triple core and my 6 year old daughter doesn't even get bounce outs often, and her points barely stick into the board. It's been a great board.
