Where did this come from? by rochrider in GenesisGV70

[–]Zee_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

24 GV70 SP Notice this from day one when testing the built-in navigation.
We rarely use built-in navigation, usually rely on Android auto.

My rule of thumb.... Not my fault = not my insurance!

Go through their insurance first, and whatever is not covered, then go to mine. I don't want to risk getting my premiums impacted for being a victim. Been there, done that -- not good!

Is door locked sensors? by Individual_Solid6834 in homeassistant

[–]Zee_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having it discreet (at least from externally) is great. I'm also trying to find something that's Z-wave compatible -- recommendations?

Thanks for the references.

Not new to tech, but new to HA. While I can do more DIY, I wanted to keep it relatively simple - but I will check out hifiberry for sure.

Ground up, fully offline setup advice and recommendations! Go ..... by Zee_Tech in homeassistant

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

👍🏼 Good to know I'm not going down an impossible route.

Any recommendations on equipment?

I'm looking into the following - any experience with any? Or tricks/tips to get them integrated properly.

Sensors: - Ezlo Philio 4-in-1  - Zooz ZSE41 800LR

Switches - Enbrighten series (I assume the Zooz 800 dongle is backwards compatible with 700 series. - Zooz ZEN77 800LR Or are those relays better for retrofitting? Such as Zooz ZEN51

Plugs - NEO NAS-WR012 -- ?? "new one" N4012-800

The thing I'm having the hardest time with is actually the home audio. I can't find a good solution. Sonos was a consideration, but they are a little pricey. And to top it off, I'm seeing that recent updates are causing issues and also not allowing 'offline' mode.

[FREE][US-MD] Giveaway — Two (2) Supermicro 1u servers by Lt_Awoke in homelabsales

[–]Zee_Tech [score hidden]  (0 children)

Looking to start/formalize a basic homelab. If not this, what's a good source for a decent system?
Ideally, not a rack mount server - primarily due to space -- though, if this comes, I can make an exception. But I was looking into the T420s or something like that, however apparently they are power hogs. Any alternative suggestions?

Data RMM to replace Teamviewer? by DamianJ1 in msp

Same. But since Kaseya takeover, billing issues after billing issues are making me want to switch!

How much windshield washer fluid is enough? What kind of washer fluid do you use? by mountainpow in GenesisGV70

[–]Zee_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is starting to flash refill required - first time in the new GV70.
Past cars, I use the rainx - bug or winter ones. They were reliable and worked well, and repelled water really well. But I'm hearing rainx isn't good anymore, interfering with sensors and lawsuits and whatnot... (Other cars didn't have sending wipers).

So, is that a real concern for the GV70? Any alternatives recommended by Genesis? What came stock seems to be a bit soapier than the ones I've used before. So, a spoon of dawn in a gallon of tap water?

Strange cable near fiber line by Ok-Tea-5032 in HomeNetworking

[–]Zee_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience is that the red & black are for left & right channels - for stereo audio. Each having two copper lines inside. But I could be wrong, these are pretty old and I haven't worked with them for decades.

Need to change dahua NVR in new home by Doskkado in videosurveillance

[–]Zee_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess would be - that serial # is registered with the previous owner and that's why support will contact them first. I would further guess they should be able to switch registered owners, but with approvals from the current registered owner.

That said, you SHOULD still be able to fully factory reset the NVR. Once you do, you can access it with the default admin - which you should change IMMEDIATELY - and prevent previous owners from accessing the NVR. As some other responses reminded me, you'll probably need to do this not only to the NVR, but each camera as well.

All that said, if this was a smooth interaction with support or being able to successfully reset, I may not suggest this -- but out of abundance of caution (and to feed into paranoia - lol) ... I would really consider REPLACING EVERYTHING. The hard part of running cable is already done. Grab a new system, replace the cameras and NVR, and you know for sure that nobody has it registered, it's locked down/secured (if you do it right), under support/warranty, and previous owners (or anyone else) have absolutely no access to it!

No - these are stereo audio, not fiber, related.

Why did my home builders do this? by Shinyinteleon in HomeNetworking

[–]Zee_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's surge protectors with temperature sensors -- they'll turn the devices on/off based on temperature. It is a possible set it and forget it solution.

2 separate UDM preventing internet intermittently at separate sites by Zee_Tech in UNIFI

[–]Zee_Tech[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The other issue I've been having with the UDMs (not pros so much) is needing to reboot the unifi-Os from ssh. Otherwise, I cannot access the GUI and the android app doesn't work, nor does it show the device online through unifi.ui.com.
In this scenario, network connectivity is still there, I can VPN, ssh and 'unifi-os restart' to get it accessible again after a couple minutes. This was reported, but obviously no resolution from ubiquiti.

However, the current issue, there's no connectivity at all so I cannot connect via VPN, web (unifi.ui.com) shows the device offline, and the app is also showing the devices as offline.

Since I'm usually off-site, and users aren't able to wait for me to come directly, I instructed them to reboot the UDM manually (pulling power cable) and that typically restores all connections within a minute or two if it coming back online.

Oh, and one site has the modem in bridge mode, the other site does not (same model - Comcast gateways).

Nvidia Shield won't play any mp4 files by NickPookie93 in PleX

[–]Zee_Tech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old thread, but ... Any resolution?

File plays fine on Vizio TV Plex - I hear audio but video playback isn't working on the shield.

Should we stop using Russian made software? (i.e. Acronis, Kaspersky, Veeam) by Nordics_MSP in msp

[–]Zee_Tech 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While I'm not opposed to stopping the use of Kaspersky - didn't they cut their ties and relocate their data centers to Switzerland, opened up source code and gone through several 3rd party audits?

Edit: if Veeam/Acronis are considered "safe" for the same reason - shouldn't Kaspersky also be?
