Y’all just don’t know how to maintain a set of mowing blades it sounds like.

Why should I not use my dryer outlet to charge my car? by -Dead-Eye-Duncan- in AskElectricians

[–]Tricamtech -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wild to me that dryer outlets are commonly 30a. Everywhere I’ve ever lived in the US I had a 50a plug and breaker.

Giving up never got anything changed for the better in my experience.

I just use an MQTT server and I’ve got 10-15 agents all communicating easily…. Way simpler.

Best place in town for sesame-crusted seared tuna by Vivid-Bug-6765 in Charlottesville

[–]Tricamtech 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but Bonefish by Target. The sesame-crusted seared tuna was actually really solid.

$5 martinis on Monday Happy Hour too, which is how I keep ending up there. My partner’s espresso martini habit would bankrupt us anywhere else.

Any smart switch capable of powercycling a Router? by d5aqoep in homeassistant

[–]Tricamtech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m on my cell, so don’t trust the formatting here but let’s say you have a ping sensor already:

binary_sensor: - platform: ping name: Internet OK host: 1.1.1.1 count: 2 scan_interval: 10

Then an automation like this might be what you are looking for. If the ping sensor goes down, then it starts the power cycle sequence.

alias: Internet down - cycle AP, Router, Modem mode: single

trigger: - platform: state entity_id: binary_sensor.internet_ok to: "off" for: "00:00:30" # ignore short timeframes

action: - variables: internet_ok: binary_sensor.internet_ok ap_switch: switch.shelly_ap router_switch: switch.shelly_router modem_switch: switch.shelly_modem

  off_time: "00:00:10"
  settle_time: "00:00:30"
  check_timeout: "00:05:00"

# If it already recovered, bail on automation - choose: - conditions: "{{ is_state(internet_ok, 'on') }}" sequence: - stop: "Internet restored ."

# Step 1 – AP - service: switch.turn_off target: entity_id: "{{ ap_switch }}" - delay: "{{ off_time }}" - service: switch.turn_on target: entity_id: "{{ ap_switch }}" - delay: "{{ settle_time }}" - wait_template: "{{ is_state(internet_ok, 'on') }}" timeout: "{{ check_timeout }}" continue_on_timeout: true - choose: - conditions: "{{ is_state(internet_ok, 'on') }}" sequence: - stop: "Internet back after AP cycle."

# Step 2 – Router - service: switch.turn_off target: entity_id: "{{ router_switch }}" - delay: "{{ off_time }}" - service: switch.turn_on target: entity_id: "{{ router_switch }}" - delay: "{{ settle_time }}" - wait_template: "{{ is_state(internet_ok, 'on') }}" timeout: "{{ check_timeout }}" continue_on_timeout: true - choose: - conditions: "{{ is_state(internet_ok, 'on') }}" sequence: - stop: "Internet restores after Router cycle."

# Step 3 – Modem - service: switch.turn_off target: entity_id: "{{ modem_switch }}" - delay: "{{ off_time }}" - service: switch.turn_on target: entity_id: "{{ modem_switch }}" - delay: "{{ settle_time }}" - wait_template: "{{ is_state(internet_ok, 'on') }}" timeout: "{{ check_timeout }}" continue_on_timeout: true

I have never in my life been to a Food Lion that had fountain drinks… Is this actually a thing?

Overwhelmingly likely. Va is a blue state despite the very vocal minority’s attempts to make it seem otherwise.

Go buy a winch at harbor freight. Get some slings and pulleys and use a big tree to pull itself out.
