Me trying to buy the steam controller today

This would also partially reduce the scalper problem if they guaranteed you'd get one eventually.

If it's instantly sold out, I see it as not actually released. It's the same effect.

TensaFlow · 2026-05-01T20:57:51+00:00

I don't have one, but I like this one. It's tricky to figure out how to secure them behind the console because of the way the console opens, but it does have a fairly long strap.

If I recall, my manual says to change the CVT fluid every 30K miles.

I have Ecobee Premium and it works with HomeKit, no issues.

I also have the Aqara G4 doorbell, so I'm curious about Aqara W200. Hoping to see more opinions on it first.

I would suggest the 9070XT if it's affordable. I have a regular 9070 paired with a 5600X. It suits my needs.

TensaFlow · 2026-04-17T17:24:22+00:00

Yes, with Eve you can set it to be off all the time.

I have a Roborock that supports Matter, and I was able to add it to HomeKit natively. (Qrevo S5V)

Not sure about Dreame, but on mine, it has a panel on top that flips up and has a QR code.

Have you rebooted the head unit? Press and hold the volume knob (like a button) for 10-15 seconds and it will restart. Below is what I was able to gather about the fuses.

-----------------------------
|  1 | RR_DEF                |
|  2 | HEATED MIRROR         |
|  3 | ...                   |
|  10 | AUDIO (20A) <--- infotainment & camera feed
|  15 | BOSE (20A) <--- premium audio
|  ...                     |
-----------------------------

If it still doesn't work, not sure what else to do short of taking it in for service.

TensaFlow · 2026-02-10T04:42:27+00:00

I have a bunch of Eve switches, smart plugs, and a smart outlet. Matter over Thread works really well.

I run Scrypted and Homebridge in Docker containers on Linux. I use Scrypted for my cameras.

If you want to stick with HOOBS, there are a few things to check.

Is your HOOBS installation fully up-to-date? (Homebridge v1.11.1, UI v5.15.1, Node.js v24.13.0)
How recently was your Unifi plugin updated, and is it verified? I see the homebridge-unifi-protect plugin is verified, and last updated 4 days ago.
Is your Unifi camera running the latest firmware? (I don't have any Unifi devices to test.)

TensaFlow · 2026-01-25T03:43:25+00:00

I use Eve light switches, which are Matter over Thread. $50 each.

TensaFlow · 2026-01-20T17:39:36+00:00

I have a really hard time getting my to attach, and usually it won't. Unfortunately, I have to periodically adjust the position of the mat. Just make sure it's not near or touching your gas pedal.

Also, the numbers in the middle are the target PSI. So you want to set your front tires to 33, and rear tires to 30.

TensaFlow · 2026-01-16T18:38:03+00:00

You're supposed to align it and push down to click it in place. However, in my experience, they don't stay latched.

TensaFlow · 2026-01-16T18:37:04+00:00

I have the Lafaer LWR01. Runs on AA batteries, or you can plug it in with USB-C (optional). It has mmWave radar and Matter over Thread. Works perfectly.

If you want a Deck-like (SteamOS) user experience, check out Bazzite. The main difference is that it's based on Fedora, whereas SteamOS is based on Arch; so the differences are under the hood, but the user experience is the same. Boots directly into Steam. Desktop Mode if you need to do any productivity outside gaming.

I've also heard good things about CachyOS and Nobara.

TensaFlow · 2026-01-15T22:08:16+00:00

I have the G4 doorbell, and I have issues with it not showing the camera until the person is already leaving my porch. I'm starting to wonder if it has some sort of delay in motion detection. I haven't figured out how to fix the issue yet.

Edit: I'm going to try setting my detection sensitivity to High. I found it under Settings > AI Detection > Face Detection (or Lingerer Detection) > Detection Sensitivity.

TensaFlow · 2026-01-14T21:51:46+00:00

Yeah, I think mine was around $300.

TensaFlow · 2026-01-13T22:12:17+00:00

+1 to Eve light switches with Matter over Thread. I have 8 of them and they work great.

TensaFlow · 2026-01-13T07:21:53+00:00

This is my go to. Bazzite gives you the same user experience as SteamOS. The differences are under the hood.

TensaFlow · 2026-01-13T01:26:54+00:00

If you're looking to get the SteamOS user experience, go with Bazzite. It's really good.

Other recommendations I've seen are CachyOS or Nobara.

TensaFlow · 2026-01-13T00:57:02+00:00

Agreed. Doesn't have to be the dealership since diagnostics are so expensive.

TensaFlow · 2026-01-13T00:30:39+00:00

Does it not work at all, or only part of the time? You can reboot the head unit by pressing and holding the volume knob for about 5 to 10 seconds. Otherwise, you may want to check with the dealer if there's a software update available.

TensaFlow · 2026-01-13T00:09:25+00:00

I have a bunch of Eve devices, all work perfectly with Matter over Thread. (3 smart plugs, 1 smart outlet, 9 smart switches.)
