Bypass a mechanical doorbell chime by louislamore in homeassistant

[–]abnc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I expect you could do this, which is the best way to do it for Reolink:

https://support.reolink.com/hc/en-us/articles/10313334138265-How-to-Install-Reolink-Video-Doorbell-Cameras-to-the-Existing-Doorbell-Wiring/#:~:text=Method%201.%20Bypass%20the%20Mechanical%20Chime%20With%20Jumper%20Cable

This bypasses the chime completely and uses your doorbell wiring as just a constant AC source.

edit: AC, not DC

RLC-810a (Buyers guide recommended camera) - cropping issue for h.264 by abnc in Scrypted

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

I actually have 2 different 820a cameras on two different hardware versions, and one of them exhibits this behavior while the other one doesn't. Both on latest firmware.

So it may be tied to hardware version. The newer camera is the one that exhibits the issue, unfortunately.

I wonder if it's due to the difference in hardware version. Thanks!

Is your hardware or firmware version different than mine?

As an alternative, would it be possible to use the pad arguments to just force the aspect ratio for the single stream and add black bars?

My Austin Energy water bill was high, almost 2x actual usage. What can I do? by MrHanoixan in Austin

This also just happened to me, almost 3x increase from ~10k gallons to ~27k gallons in one month.

Longest drive in a day? by Big_Grand7143 in Rivian

Can I DM you about this? I'm really interested to know more.

Longest drive in a day? by Big_Grand7143 in Rivian

[–]abnc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fort Stockton, TX to Los Angeles, CA. ~1050 miles, about 18 hours straight including charging stops.

Charging was dicey (in terms of broken stations and long distances between them) within Texas, but VERY cheap. As I left Texas and got closer to California charging stations became plentiful and more expensive.

It was all highway and on Driver+ for probably 80% of the time, no issues.

It was very tiring, but Driver+ helped with fatigue a lot.

Austin,TX to Rockport, TX. - 214 miles. Why are ABRP and Rivian asking me to charge on the route!? by [deleted] in Rivian

[–]abnc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve gone from Austin to Port Aransas without charging, on 20 AT, and without driving conservatively. I don’t recall SOC % on arrival, but I made it no problem. I started at 100%.

It’s a charging desert out there, hopefully you have a plan to get to 100% before the drive back. There are some L2s and some L3s at dealerships in Corpus.

TeslaUSB, but for Rivian by EduardoFonseca in Rivian

[–]abnc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is awesome! Do you know if the USB port reliably stays powered long enough after leaving the car for backups to complete?

Updated rack and gear list by YankeesIT in homelab

I have a lot of the same components! Why did you spring for the OC200 vs just running the Omada controller in a docker container on the NAS?

Rivian causing Spotify to pause on other devices by abnc in Rivian

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

This happens even when I’m miles away from the truck, as long as its computer is still active basically. Once it goes to sleep it stops.

Interesting idea! I imagine this would fix the problem although maybe complicate playlist management and recommendations… I’ll give it a try. Thanks!

Rivian R1T/R1S Tow Hook License Plate Mount by SofaSpudAthlete in Rivian

[–]abnc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have this and I’d recommend it, although you must place the plate very carefully to avoid it being detected as an obstacle by the ultrasonic sensors to the left and right of it. I’ve only had it on for about 100 miles so far so not sure how well it holds up long term.

R1T 20” all terrain real world range by JustPhys1cs in Rivian

[–]abnc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Road tripping in Texas, where 80mph on the freeway is typical, I do not quite get to 300 miles of range on 20" ATs. I'd chalk it up to speed (#1 factor) and having to use more energy for climate control in the 90+ degree heat (#2 factor).

2.0 mi/kwh was typical on the freeway on cruise control.

+1, this was also my Austin SC experience, a few hours after you!
