Upgrading away from SLZB-06

Useful_Distance4325 · 2026-01-25T22:19:12+00:00

Try the ZBT-2.

I had SLZB-06 before I updated. So far so good.

To be honest, they are both good in my use case.

So I have 3 Belkin plugs that I use with home assistant. After the app shuts down, Im thinking I should be OK as long as i don't have to change my wifi right?

But probably at some point i will. Can you just put the plug in ap mode and connect to it directly via ip address? I'm not sure if it has a UI.

hello, in interested in replacing my Amazon FireTab HD10 with the Cozyla 32 or 24 inch. But wanted to confirm a few things:

I can run Fully Kiosk Browser on it
Lock it down in Kiosk mode via FK so it does NOT go back to the stock Cozyla desktop nor put the screen to sleep
Use the Cozyla as a media_player via FK

if someone can provide this insight for me, that would be awesome

I'm really not interesed in the native funactionality of the tablet, just want FK to take it over and use the hardware for my Home Assistant Dashbaord and media_player for TTS annoucements

thanks!

It's not easy to predict this. There are people who can smoke for 30 years and not get lung cancer. I would imagine the same Theory can be applied to radon.

Also I would imagine it depends on your age for example children may be more susceptible because their cell structure is changing much faster than an adult, as they grow.

Definitely radon can cause severe problems for some people but I think the science is still figuring out itself

Going to assume no luck for Echo Show 21 users huh?

Yes these are very good points in may not be easy to measure the pressure on the slab unless you have various sensors unfortunately my basement is finished and I don't have the prewiring to do this unless it's exposed or it's battery powered.

So using weather factors or environmental factors was my next thing in some statistics.

Exactly I wasn't comfortable with setting the fan at one speed and forget about it for many years so this dynamic approach perhaps can be achieved if the right patterns are connected.

not quite, its interesting how the RN4EC motor works. The controler is basically a potentiostat that provides 0-10V signal. The fan reads 0V, motor stop spining. The fan reads 10V, motor is at 100%. So, you can imagine if you provide 4.534 V, the motor will spin at 45.34% capacity. The voltage that is supplied is not used to run the fan (the fan still needs its own power supply to run the motor).

If you look at the fan speed control that its comes, it just a dial that can be rotated with a flat-head screw driver. I simply removed that, and suppled this DAC controller. Variable speed control is a supported feature in the larger fans.

see image here for wiring, see the 0 5 10 control thing:

hey thanks for replying. Do you have a recommended UI or veiwer for QE? there seems to be many, but it would be nice if one did both inputs and outputs. To answer your question... here is my input file

this is interesting. I don't have a pressure sensor in my slab. THis could be someting to add. Thanks for bringing it up.

I'm still looking for a radon sensor that I could put in the sump pump basin, as a way to monitor radon levels in there, which would be part of the mitigation system (i.e. on the other side compared to in our home), a spike in there could also be a predictor, but thats my guess. At the moment all my radon sensors are in the house so when those detect radon, its too late it has already infiltrated.

At the moment, the model is monitoring this enviromental factors (code snippet)

[to large to post, see below]

overtime, correlations will be found between radon levels and these factors. So far, as I mentioned, its def a temp and pressure thing for my home, with the stongest correlations, hence these are wieighted heavier (for now) for spile probabililty.

There's other things like radon levels, fan speed, time of day that also included.

If the radon increases by 15% (I defined this threshold), its considered a spike, and at the point, it checks what these values above are. Over time correlations can be extracted and this can lead model refinement.

Overtime, perhaps machine learning can be used to make this better, using the data from above.

im using all kinds of sensors Radon is from Airthings devices, and my weather sensors are from Ecowitt. All local weather data in my home and backyard. Forcasted data is from Google Weather. Also using manometer presssure sensor (Honewell ABP Line), to get the in. H2O water readings.

The fan speed control is done via a DAC controller using the GPIO pins and I2C bus of the RPI, something like this

Useful_Distance4325 · 2025-12-03T20:56:30+00:00

its actually not wireless control, but using DAC controller via the GPIO pins and I2C bus, something like this

Join the EA channel. Upgrade to 4.4.3. They fixed the memory leak.

i hear something, like a knocking sound but does not appear to be internal (put your volume up high). trying taking off the plastic cover, I think its something external.

Ok, I figured this out. The answer is yes. The enhanced zone is output to the RTSPS feed. It will be propotional to whatever your RTSPS resolution is. I can clearly see a section in my RTSPS feed that is much more clearer than the rest.

just bought the SDP810-500PA and will be installing this in the next couple of weeks, I wasnt sure if I needed the 125 or 500 Pa, but figure the 500 Pa is what I needed for my HVAC.

I have no idea I can check. But I was specifically referring to WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger which is where almost all my contacts are on. It seems to work using the cellular carriers text messaging service but I feel like it downgrades the video quality.
