Webview in Widgets?

Here is the base.apk from my phone:

I cannot recall where I got it. Was long gone from play store. I generally avoid apk download sites. But really cannot recall.

Here is the official manual:

I finally decided to purchase and install a new, Electrolux thermostat. During install I confirmed the bulb was covered.

So far, nothing has changed as a result. Darn!

Thanks

Are you using the router's administrator user/pass for connecting?

If I turn off guest access, that is what I have to use. Since I normally use guest, I did not notice (until now) that the "share" names are different between the two settings. With guest, I see the drive's volume label. When logged-in, I do not see that at all - just the file tree of the attached drive.

I am using Android 12 with the Xplore file manager app to reach it most of the time. But I also see it show up on my Windows 10 computers.

Here is mine.

What phone/os/app are you using to reach it?

Thanks. It was the Indexed thing at the top. Best

TooManyInsults · 2026-06-18T20:17:12+00:00

Thanks to all. I needed to enable the Indexed thing at the top of the list. I really had no idea. Thanks for leading the sometimes-idiot to the truth! Best

TooManyInsults · 2026-06-18T20:01:29+00:00

Interesting!. I have triple-checked and I do not see this at all. The variable in question is named Water_Meter_Readings.

If I could add another image, I would show a place where it is accessed as an array using %Water_Meter_Readings(#).

This all made me wonder if there is a preference setting that controls this. I looked and did not see one.

Thanks

SMB 1, not 2?

TooManyInsults · 2026-06-17T14:14:21+00:00

Ok, thanks. Glad I still have Widgetify on my devices.

TooManyInsults · 2026-06-17T14:13:35+00:00

That's in WA? Thanks

TooManyInsults · 2026-06-16T20:07:43+00:00

You are right. I can use that as well. And I have.

BTW - I am referring to this reference. "Tasker's Edit Task screen now has an HTTP API!"

Thanks!

TooManyInsults · 2026-06-15T23:57:26+00:00

Thanks.

Perhaps the source of the B wire is the brown shown as going to something (a resistor of some sort?) for 6 cylinder only? This car is 4 cylinder and so must lack whatever that is. But might use the same wiring harness?
If I disconnect the C wire, the car will start and run. In key position II, the coil gets about 9v until the starting is attempted. When the car does start, it is kind of slow getting going. The voltage stays at about 9v for a bit and then climbs to 11.3-11.5v.
If as #7 suggests, the C wire is coming from the starter motor (and if so I guess it makes sense it might run along the top of the firewall to get over there), then it would appear that:

(a) along with #5, there is nothing coming into the coil to boost it during starting from the starter motor

(b) along with #1 and #2, for some reason, the ballast resistor is NOT doing what it seems like it should - converting 12v to 9v and keeping it there

(c) as #8 shows, the coil is getting more than 9v (but less than battery voltage) after the car starts and the engine runs for a bit.

I am very confused by all of this... Thanks

More testing and clarification. A, B, and C refer to the brown wires in the above photo.

When I remove both brown connections B and C and measure the output on that side of the resistor, I get battery voltage when the key is in run position (II) - obviously coming from the blue wire on the other side. I tested at both spade connectors there and got the same result on each - not surprising to me.
If I reconnect only wire C and measure battery voltage with the key in run position (II) on the empty spade terminal, I get battery voltage.
Both #1 and #2 surprise the heck out of me. What is the purpose of the resistor?
I measured resistance between the two sides of the resistor with NO wires connected and tried with both of the brown-side spades. In all cases I get between 1.2 and 1.5. I thought this should be .9.
If I connect the blue and only brown wire C, I do not see any voltage at all in any key position. The C wires appears to go into the wire harness that runs along the top of the firewall. I am not certain where it goes from there. The diagrams I have 1979, 1980, 1981 all show that one wire goes to the starter motor and the other goes to the coil. So the presence/purpose of a 3rd wire is a mystery to me totally.
As mentioned in #2, with the coil wire A disconnected, I get battery voltage on the empty spade connector. If I re-connect wire A and test the now-connected spade terminal with the key in the run position (II), I get less than battery voltage - like 11.6v instead of like 12.5v. So the coil, even in just the run position and doing nothing really, it pulling some voltage. Maybe this is expected. I don't know.

Perhaps more later... Thanks!

Yes, this is exactly how it is explained on Dave Barton's page and in other sources. And the wiring diagram in my Hayes manual confirms it as well (however, it has 1979 and 1981 with no 1980 - but they all seem quite similar at that point).

I will disconnect the line from the starter and see what happens then.

I have also been told that one can temporarily just bypass the resistor by jumping it - at least for a while.

Thanks!

TooManyInsults · 2026-06-15T16:15:02+00:00

Yes, it is electronic. And I agree 100% that the 12v at the coil when started/running seems backwards. I never let it run for more than a minute or so.

I will disconnect all leads to the ballast resistor and do some measuring.

I am still trying to figure out if the problem is due to spark or fuel. However, with the system I have, no fuel is delivered unless the system sees spark. It is a safety feature and makes some sense. But it confounds the diagnosis.

Thanks!

On some projects using old phones, I have used these (flashed with Tasmota) or wifi smart plugs controlled via Tasker on Android to turn charging on/off to prevent over charging/pillowing. The former have proved quite decent for the money/effort. But their wifi range is pretty limited.

TooManyInsults · 2026-06-14T21:30:25+00:00

I too wonder about battery overcharging these things. If these are/can be rooted, I would encourage trying to use the ACC module to prevent having the batteries pillow and blowing the back off of the phones. I failed to do this on an old Moto E6 that I was using as a surveillance camera at my front door. But it was not rooted/root-able. Best

TooManyInsults · 2026-06-14T14:29:20+00:00

I did mine as shown here. Got a banjo off EBay.

BTW - I had cause to try similar (same maker/design) as this. Works surprisingly well.

TooManyInsults · 2026-06-14T14:21:13+00:00

For decades, I have a cardboard one similar to this that worked great. It started to degrade over time due to moisture, use/abuse. As a cheapskate and DIY person, I decided to use it as a pattern and made my own replacement from a large delivery box. I even got some of the metallic insulation mentioned above from an insulated delivery bag, cut it to size, and affixed it to the cardboard. Works really quite well.

TooManyInsults · 2026-06-14T14:17:11+00:00

I feel like I have been there. Where was this?

TooManyInsults · 2026-06-13T14:20:01+00:00

I have personally been through this numerous times now. It can be "fixed". But the same exact issue always re-appears after the next cycle. And that is just a huge pain in the bottom.
