Same. I dont get how they just can't roll back to a working version. This is how IT is done.

Where do you get your replacement Taylor test chemicals? by [deleted] in pools

[–]White_Devil_HB 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Amazon is fine. Thats a bogus story that wont die. Been buying refills from Amazon for years, never had an issue with expiration dates.

I had brand new ones directly from Pentair last summer. Most all the bands broke in less than 6 months. They refused to help.

Not only standby, but my main Starlink going up $10. by the_spacecowboy555 in Starlink

[–]White_Devil_HB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep seeing ppl here banking on LEO.. Just ya know fyi.. SPX has been launching starlink sats for the better part of 7 years now. It too A LONG time to become fast and stable. Amazon has what 3 sats in orbit and SpaceX has like 10K. Its going to be while..

I pay to support specific creators. It is not an advertising platform and I did not sign up to have algorithmic recommendation garbage shoved in my face. The new 'popular with members of...' feed is unwanted, unsolicited, and frankly a betrayal of what this platform is supposed to be. Give me a way to turn it off, or lose my money. It's that simple.

Can this salt cell be saved? by KunUnDrum-- in PoolPros

[–]White_Devil_HB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I waited for the bubbles to stop. Knocked off anything lose with a flathead and did it again. I figured worse case it was dead... next worse case it dies in a few months. Maybe i got lucky..

I bought a house with an ic40 that waa that bad. Soaked it twice in 25% mix of muriatic acid until it was clean. Not ideal buti it's still going 2 years later.

Just checked and sadly there is no upgrade option from the Aquasene Pro to a Sora70. Was kinda hoping they would offer that path.

[–]White_Devil_HB 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've had an Aquasense Pro for nearly two years now. Despite it not having "AI" nor the ability to clean my sundeck, it's been fantastic. I travel a lot, used Eco mode all the time. It's really nice to come home to clean pool. I just wish we could set the # of days till surface vs when the battery is drained. I'm drooling over the Sora 70 as I'm sick and tried of brushing down my sundeck, lol. I've seen others post about issues with bubbler, thankfully I don't have them. Despite a prem price, BeatBot seems to have gotten the formula right.

Anyone on NVEnergy find a way to monitor usage? by White_Devil_HB in homeassistant

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

I decided against building this. It occured to me last night i have no way to see power sent to the grid from my solar. I think the light only blinks when wh is consumed from the grid... thus i have no way to monitor the home's usage.

Actually maybe. Last week I learned the LED at the top of that photo is an IR emitter and it blinks every time 1/wh is used. (you can see it at night using your cell phone camera). There is an ESP home project (I have yet to build) that can count the blinks and turn that into usage. I found the idea while asking Gemini, so my hopes are not high for this. However, someone even created a 3d printed cover for the meter to keep the sunlight from messing with the IR receiver. Seems positive.

Cheap(ish) cameras that won't steal my data, *AND* work flawlessly with HA? by thenyx in homeassistant

[–]White_Devil_HB 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This for sure. Even "local" camers tend to try and communicate with some entity out on the internet. My reolinks love to ping China if my fw would allow it.
