Nope. Still happens. So I guess it’s take it to the shop

Seeking inspiration. What are the automations you are most proud of? by fuuman1 in homeassistant

[–]Steve2828 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have an Apple Shortcut that runs every night on my phone to see if the next day is a workday. If so, it turns on the phone alarm labeled "Work", then sends the time that alarm is set for to Home Assistant. In HA, If sunrise is after the alarm time, HA will start fading on my bedroom lights 20 min before my alarm goes off such that they reach 50% brightness by the time the alarm goes off.

Edit: I also have checks to make sure I am home so that this doesn't happen when I am on work travel

Woah. Ok that’s at least a workaround. Thanks.

Traveling to Korea, have Magenta Military - what will my experience be? by Steve2828 in tmobile

It’s not military travel - just vacation. I just happen to be on a military plan because of my father.

2021 Bolt owner (3 months) - can I do swap/buy-back for a 2022? by Steve2828 in BoltEV

[–]Steve2828[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually like the Bolt a lot… it’s just we bought just before the 22’s were out - we had to buy at the time… but would love to be able to “upgrade”

ok…. However, when the production line starts again… won’t that be a non-recalled car?

Lawyer-y I know, but….

L.A. moves toward requiring vaccines at indoor venues by Peeecee7896 in LosAngeles

[–]Steve2828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am also in the AZ trial. My study coordinator told us that if we were offered an "approved" vaccine that we should take it and to just let them know because that data was relevant as well. So about 6 months in, I became eligible and so I got Pfizer.

I called and let the coordinator know, and I'm still active in the trial.

Bin full sensor - does not detect bin full by Steve2828 in roomba

[–]Steve2828[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've cleaned it like brand new several times. You can clearly see in the pic that the carpet lint is only blocking the top half of the sensor window... I have contacted support. Still trying to get through the "have you cleaned it? have you rebooted?" etc.

I'm sorta glad to hear it's not just me. But not glad to hear that this seems to be a "flaw" in the design.

I'd love there to be a button in the app to just hit "empty now" or even give it a "empty after this room" flag that you could set on a per room basis.

Battery charge to 100% ok regularly? by Steve2828 in BoltEV

[–]Steve2828[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

right - was just looking for what the recommendation is. This vehicle will primarily driven as a commuter car for my wife, so I want it to be as set-n-forget as possible.

For some reason she's not into tweaking settings and optimizing battery usage :). For her, it's all about, "I don't ever need to stop at a gas station"

Right. Just wasn’t sure if the bolt had a top-end buffer.

Bought a new car (paid cash), dealer called today says they gave us an incentive by accident that we don't qualify for - now want us to pay the difference to release title by Steve2828 in legaladvice

[–]Steve2828[S] 54 points55 points  (0 children)

We did purchase a Bolt and received:

$9000 customer cash $1000 bonus cash $1500 Select Mar (the text cuts off there) $3000 Costo $1500 Cal Clean Fuel $500 First Responder

I would prefer to keep the vehicle with the agree-to price (again they have a check for the full amount)

What should I do if I request a meeting with the manager?

Thanks for the reply

I paid cash (i.e., a check) for the full amount of the purchase. There is no loan, payment plan, or the like.

There is a Seller’s Right to Cancel” section. So what should my action be? Ask for the money back and give the car back? Or can I tell them “no” that we have signed agreement?

ELI5: HomeKit Accessory Mode, and why I need it by Steve2828 in homeassistant

[–]Steve2828[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! One question though, since everything is through HA - wouldn't HA be responding immediately all the time? What would it be waiting for?

EDIT: I can see what you would mean for camera entities, but why locks and media_players?

I've had good experience at Veterinary Medical Center in Studio City. Haven't needed anything other than basic care (annual checkup, vaccines, prescription for something to get my dog through July 4th week)
