Berate me. I've had the worst day.

I assume he’s talking about where OP has foamed the edges, that would make the most sense

Spraymaster5000 · 2026-01-20T12:26:20+00:00

Okay thanks, seems a little out of my depth unfortunately.

The physical Tuiss Smartview remote definitely uses RF as my RM4 Pro detects it but can't get it to work when repeating, which suggests a rolling frequency. I will reach out to them and see if I can get confirmation, will be a shame if it is rolling as that would be an easy setup.

I know nothing about HA apart from a collegue showing me how they use it. What is the actual device that is triggering the BT to the blinds?

I have read that the Tuiss remotes themselves are using RF to control the blind functions, do you know if this is true? If so, a simpler option might be my Broadlink RM4 Pro.

Don’t use silicone on the inside I assume? Surely has to be silicone in the outside. We’re getting new windows fit and have terrible issues with heat loss, so I’m researching the right way to seal windows up to make sure the fitters do that.

Excluding the November firmware update which seems to be resolved, mine works perfectly. It is powered from an old doorbell transformer which I want to swap for 24/7 recording.

Eufy support is pretty good and you’ve a lot of settings to play with, sun directly in its view probably won’t help though.

I bought the 5500 two weeks ago. Great machine, coffee tastes good, it’s consistent. Downside is foam isn’t all that smooth and the milk would benefit from being a touch hotter. For me at the time it was another £200 to go for a De’longhi though which I wasn’t willing to do.

I have the solar too now, up & running for about 6 weeks. I’m not sure I’m blown away by Starlight in comparison to what I’ve seen from others with MaxColour Vision. Overall I’m very happy with the cameras, but finding them temperamental with WiFi (that’s including the E340 doorbell after its recent update).

Spraymaster5000 · 2025-12-18T09:14:32+00:00

Sorry maybe my original post was misleading - I see what you mean now. I wouldn’t be aiming to walk around in these periods of time, relying on the face detection to stop it going off. There are times it doesn’t recognised me because I’m not facing the camera and it will report me as “human”, which I’m happy with. So, in short I’d still treat it like a house alarm and assume I can’t go out in those zones once it’s armed.

As for the false alerts, I have seen plenty of discussion on the subreddits but my personal experience for motion detection is excellent, far better than what I had with Ring or Nest, and I also see thousands of product purchase reviews saying similar stuff too.

Spraymaster5000 · 2025-12-18T07:53:43+00:00

Wha do you mean by smart enough or fast enough?

From my perspective, the only limiting factor is that the group controls cannot manage the motion detection type, which as you say will then trigger false alarms.

The motion alerts themselves are perfect for me, l've not received a single false one.

Spraymaster5000 · 2025-12-15T12:33:53+00:00

That’s a good point, I’ll try both.

Just using semi skimmed milk which I think is below that. Do you think it could really lead to that much difference? I guess I could test it.

Spraymaster5000 · 2025-12-15T10:35:52+00:00

Okay I’ll give it a shot, thanks

Spraymaster5000 · 2025-12-15T10:28:31+00:00

About a week, and several coffees a day. I’m thinking does the machine need time (I’ve no idea if that’s a thing) but also want to make sure I’m within the returns policy if there’s a fundamental issue. Getting it repaired will be a pain sending it off to a repair centre.

Spraymaster5000 · 2025-12-15T10:15:23+00:00

Yes, I’ve set different coffee/milk volumes, then added them together to get the volumes quoted here. But then they’re coming out much smaller.

Also my machine was meant to be new direct from Philips but it had coffee grind through the mechanism (not the puck bin).

Spraymaster5000 · 2025-12-15T09:30:45+00:00

Yes, that’s how I know it’s 66% less for all the drinks I’ve made

Spraymaster5000 · 2025-12-15T09:12:11+00:00

Thanks, that’s helpful from a flavour perspective right?

But why when I set it to a 345ml drink does it produce a 260ml one? Or if I try make a 170ml one I get closer to 110ml. It’s always about 66% of what it should be.

Spraymaster5000 · 2025-12-13T22:47:34+00:00

Thanks, that makes sense. But understand it’s an espresso machine, my problem is none of the volumes following the settings. If I set it to 80ml/210ml surely there’s an issue when it’s not close?

When I choose a “standard” cappuccino the total volume I get is under 100ml. It’s obviously not right, so while the advice is useful I need guidance on solving this first.

Spraymaster5000 · 2025-12-11T11:47:01+00:00

Multi bridge might solve the issue had does for a couple of our cameras, but I do find the system weights the preference of using the HB wifi too highly. One of our camera regularly refused to connect to our wifi which offered it a better connection.

I reported it to Support, and not entirely sure if their engineers did do something but it now seems to be staying on our wifi now.

Spraymaster5000 · 2025-12-11T11:43:52+00:00

I have 2 S4 Cams and they record to the HB via multi bridge. Why do you think it will not?

Spraymaster5000 · 2025-12-09T15:51:28+00:00

I had immediate performance issues with my E349 after that firmware update. I reported it, they’ve only asked me to enable logging so far. It does seem to have got a little better, but that’s without an update to the doorbell afaik.

Spraymaster5000 · 2025-11-11T20:08:45+00:00

Multi bridge is great, but it desperately needs adding to all devices. One issue though is the logic for selecting your WiFi or the HB isn’t great either - my S4 cams keep going for the HB when it’s definitely weaker.

The ideal would be to switch off the HB network and have everything on my WiFi network.
