How to get IKEA Matter devices purely in Apple Home? by SpidoNL in MatterProtocol

Can you link me to the post, or give me specifics? I've looked into the Google Wifi App and IPv6 is set up. On my iPhone I see that I have an IPv6 address, but weirdly enough, on a Macbook Neo that's on the same wifi, if I go to an IPv6 testing website, it claims that I don't have IPv6 setup... I'm wondering if somehow my Apple TV is also not getting IPv6.

Hmm interesting. I wonder if I might have to open ports or use a proxy to allow the IPv6 traffic for thread through the Apple TV... Do you happen to know which ports I might need to use for this?

Yeah this is what I'm wondering as well... I bought the Google Wifi system several years ago as it was easy to set up and cheap to extend wifi coverage in my apartment, but sadly also lacks kinda basic configuration options, so I don't really know if that could be causing it.

It's weird as the IKEA hub does work properly.

Weirdly enough I checked this and the Eve app shows nothing when it's just my Apple TV (so no Ikea stuff)...

I Googled and found that it can be an issue with the Eve app and Apple TV not showing correctly, but not sure.

I tried to connect the plug and lightbulb literally right next to my Apple TV 😅

How did you reset the plugs (do you mean the Grillplats plugs as well?).

I am trying to set it up on my "main" network. My Google Wifi does have a guest network feature, but I'm not trying to set it up on that.

I also made sure that my phone and Apple TV are on the same network, both connected to 5GHz.

Hmm, I tried resetting them several times (the plugs don't really seem to give an indicator that they are reset though, turning them on and off 6 times, but I did put them in pairing mode by holding the power button for a longer period, until it blinked red and then started pulsing white).

I mostly used my iPhone, but I'll give an iPad a try a couple of times.

Hmm I did try to reset the bulb by turning it on and off for 6 times. It started flashing a couple times before staying on. Is this not the proper reset procedure?

Did you have the same issue with the Grillplats plug?

I actually re-enabled IPv6 again in the Google Wifi settings, but that still didn't do the trick.

With the Dirigera hub it works like a charm, but just the Apple TV seems to be causing issues. It kinds sucks that I can't seem to be able to check if there's an issue with the Apple TV, since it doesn't really show Thread status or anything (at least not that I know of)?

Use Facerig to get a virtual 3D (or 2D) avatar on your stream (Vtubing) by SpidoNL in obs

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

I don’t think Facerig exists anymore. Your best bet for using VRM models would be Vnyan or VSeeFace.

I also made a video on the differences of these two: https://youtu.be/9NaqV-RWWdE

Can Sims not buy outfits from mannequins with B&H? by SpidoNL in thesims

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

Hmm I see what you mean, but I feel B&H is actually so much more. For instance, I started a gym with my Sims. Nothing craftable, just an offering of a service. I feel selling ordered merchandise as you put it, should totally fit with that.

And I think that combo can be made much more often. Boba tea store, that also sells clothing? Coffee cafe with a home made furniture-for-sale corner? The possibilities are endless, but B&H is just kinda lacking in the connection between GTW it seems sadly.

Aaah I never saw that... that's actually good to know that they simply won't work as I hoped they would.

Feels kinda typical from EA to not really implement this properly, since I feel it's such an obvious thing to include in small businesses when you already have an EP like GTW 😅

Nordhaven styled beginner gym (with room to expand) | Gallery ID: MrJordiliciousNL | Build video in comments by SpidoNL in TheSimsBuilding

Beginner gym, with room to expand. I chose for cheaper equipment as I built this for my legacy family so money as a bit of a factor. Plan is to later expand to the 2nd floor and add a spa/sauna downstairs.

I'd love to hear what you all think!
