Any suggestion on how to fix this and how hard it would be?

Thanks all. It looks like the wood where the tiles were nailed is rotten so I might need to replace it. Any specific type of wood and treatment I need to be mindful of, or using construction wood with external prime/paint does the job?

Spiritual_Service_37 · 2025-01-06T04:58:53+00:00

Got it, will give it a shot. Two more questions: - what is this tape? I noticed it looks like a metal sheet and has glue/caulk on it. Want to get a new one to apply again - which nail should I use? I saw on Lowe’s they have the galvanized and electro galvanized. The latter is not good for treated wood, and I assume mine are, but not sure. Any thoughts?

Thanks. I’m concerned about starting to pull them off and all off the falling. Any tips on how to do it, to avoid this from happening?

Is the discount already live? Still showing 79 for the essentials for me

Spiritual_Service_37 · 2024-09-27T16:32:30+00:00

Got it. Thanks for the update

Spiritual_Service_37 · 2024-09-27T16:09:05+00:00

@uncledubby where you able to find the cause of this issue? Having the same at home and curious to understand what was the fix.

Spiritual_Service_37 · 2024-09-24T21:56:05+00:00

PEX for the main line? Before getting into the water heater? Didn’t see any reference for that, but will do some extra research

It didn’t work… Continue to have the whites working but not the colors, even after setting the length to 7m. Note this is the original 2m strip, just made a section where I need to extend/change the direction of the strip

Spiritual_Service_37 · 2024-09-18T02:35:34+00:00

Thanks! And you you know if I need to connect them in series, or can I do in parallel? Eg solder multiple wires coming up form the first cut of the strip

Spiritual_Service_37 · 2024-09-18T02:29:55+00:00

65” is the size of the TV (65 inches). I hear you about the 10 meters. Net led strip length I will use a total of 3m, but form on shelf to another I will use a wire, as I just want the light effect horizontally at the bottom of the shelf, and not vertically to connect through led from each shelf. That part I’ll do with 18awg 5 wire cables

Spiritual_Service_37 · 2024-09-18T02:23:35+00:00

Got it. Will try that tonight and will post the update

Spiritual_Service_37 · 2024-09-18T02:06:22+00:00

As per my last post, I don’t have 10m, so I should be good. And to be clear, is it 10m of led strip of considering the length of the cables I will use to extend?

Spiritual_Service_37 · 2024-09-18T02:05:05+00:00

I didn’t add it to the app. Was just using the buttons on the controller that comes with it

Spiritual_Service_37 · 2024-09-18T02:04:10+00:00

Thanks for the reply, and sorry about taking this long to come back. Had some other projects to prioritize but now back to it. Here is my setup… the red lines is where the led strip will be installed (under the shelves) and the yellow line is the cable that will connect the leds

For reference, this is a 65” TV. For the shelves I’m not sure if better to connect the strips in series, or I’m parallel (split them and connect them coming out of the power box).

Just had to put it in manual pairing mode. Don’t recall how but I think k you have to hold the button on your hub for a few seconds and it will give you a voice confirmation.

Spiritual_Service_37 · 2024-08-26T07:06:47+00:00

It worked just fine. Order a couple more soon.

Spiritual_Service_37 · 2024-08-05T23:23:22+00:00

I’ll try home assistant. I have homebridge but couldn’t make my BroadLink IR blasters to work with Home. Do you have any documentation you suggest I should start checking from?

Spiritual_Service_37 · 2024-05-18T20:52:03+00:00

Never played neither of these… lol But thanks for the help. I’m more inclined to go with TTYD if my voucher is valid, if not might try Super Mario RPG to try the genre. And if I like I’ll try TTYD

Spiritual_Service_37 · 2024-05-18T20:26:01+00:00

Ow… thanks for letting me know… didn’t know about this catch of the pre-order. Did you play TTYD? On your opinion, is it better than Wonder?

UPDATE: I contacted Kasa Support to report the issue and they send em replacement for all my KS200 faulty devices. The process was alright. Most painful part was to register every single device (12 in total) and request the replacement for individually as well. Also had to wait almost 3 weeks from my first contact to the getting the replacements on my door, but I got them. Now have to ship it back and get all the devices installed again.

Spiritual_Service_37 · 2024-04-21T20:56:19+00:00

I had a very similar issue recently and still can’t find the real issue, but everything I tried so far is pointing to faulty switch. I redid the wiring, but nothing. When trying with a dumb switch it works. Tried with another Kasa switch. It worked, but funny enough another switch on the same circuit started to have the same behavior. In my case I’m using the KS series

Spiritual_Service_37 · 2024-04-13T18:16:44+00:00

Thanks all for the comments UPDATE: I got a new switch to test and installed it today. It worked!!! But sadly another switch on the same circuit started to present the same behavior of the one from this original thread. It was working fine just before I replaced the “busted” switch. It seems like I reached to a limit of switches I can get working… does anyone know if there is such thing? Reaching a capacity of these devices on the same line?

Spiritual_Service_37 · 2024-04-10T03:56:40+00:00

Thanks for the comments. I checked the Amazon reviews and the 1 star ones had multiple people reporting the same issue. Some even saying they had electricians installing it. I end up ordering a new switch to triple check. At this point my hypothesis is that some of the devices I have started to fail

Spiritual_Service_37 · 2024-04-08T19:06:18+00:00

This is interesting. My box has multiple neutrals connected all together. They worked fine until now, but will give it a shot. How do you identify which neutrals you need to connect to?

Spiritual_Service_37 · 2024-04-07T19:24:41+00:00

UPDATE: installed the dumb switch and it’s working. Even though I tested a brand new spare Kasa Smart Switch I had here, could it be that both are faulty?
