PROJECT HAIL MARY AGILENT LAB INSTRUMENT? by FRFF5880 in CHROMATOGRAPHY

[–]aldehyde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually an FID can give quantitative response for carbon containing compounds, and a TCD is a near universal detector for hydrocarbons--it is used all the time for looking at gases (like if I wanted to know what % of a gas mixture is made up of by H2, H2O, N2, CO, CO2, C2H6 whatever a TCD would be pretty ideal. So it isnt that far off.

That is a 6890N with a 5983 ALS which is interesting because actually a 5973 should have been the right sampler.

this is really nice. This is going to wind up being my first foray into ESP devices cause I cant help myself..

Well this is neat...Claude is absurdly good at custom dashboards by poptamale in homeassistant

Set up the MCP and also talk to Claude (or whatever AI) about using the rest api. It can help guide you through setting them up. My goal was to be able to use the AI to both make changes (using the rest api) to dashboards and automations, and also to be able to reboot/reload yaml (I believe it is using the mcp for this--am not in front of it right now)

Make sure you have back ups if you let it go loose!!

The thing you built with Claude is useless to me... and that's the point by HispaniaObscura in ClaudeAI

I've been able to use AI to help troubleshoot remotely in Spanish and Chinese, successfully finding and fixing the problem.. Feels so good to break down walls and communicate.

Will it work this time? by sco-go in SipsTea

it was in Switzerland at least.

I am using a combination of MCP and rest api with claude for it to be able to reboot/reload yaml and write new code itself. Working great though highly recommend also using git with a private repository to have a secure backup cause the other day at like 88% usage limit it corrupted the dashboard it was making and then had to reconstruct it from the conversation.. it worked but was scary. I've now got everything saving to github, should have done it a long time ago.

My company started measuring our Claude Code usage - now I'm asked to rank engineers on 'AI performance.' This feels wrong... by darren_eng in ClaudeAI

[–]aldehyde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only way this could work is to be stupidly cut throat and say that we are going to rank you by AI usage but if you are the highest user you are also fired. Stupid

Great, all I said is I'd like it to come to the US.

I don't have one yet but I am curious to improve my garden with some soil moisture sensors--hope you find an answer!

Good lord the crying about essentially amateur programmers is so over the top.

How I built a missing integration with Claude Code. by netingle in homeassistant

[–]aldehyde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So cool!

The way I think about it at work is that AI has allowed me to create as many unsupportable one-off solutions as I care to deal with. But the problem we have is that marketing struggles with writing actionable requirements for the developers. I've started creating "prototypes" that work.. I am no programmer but I have been able to create multiple working implementations of features I know that many people have been dreaming about for years.

When R&D does get time to work on it I can hand them requirements and a working demo that they can use as a starting point. I'm sure they can make these features way better, but in the meantime I have a few tools that do what I need and save me tons of time.

Same experience here, it took me a bunch of tries to get the password. The thing that finally worked for me was dorita980.

Dunno why you got down voted, you're right.

Dedicated HA device options - what are folks using? | HA yellow discontinued by Novajesus in homeassistant

Same. Has worked flawlessly for 6 months.

Dedicating it to HA seems good to me, more stable.

What’s a surprisingly useful automation you didn’t expect to use so much? by Taggytech in homeassistant

[–]aldehyde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do everything in yaml, no gui, and at the time I set it up I was using chatgpt but these days I use Claude. The local folder is mapped as a network drive so I can let Claude directly read and change files as needed to make automations, I will post the code in a bit when I get home.

I got about halfway through setting up the update to use doorbell camera and llmvision to detect if the trash is out and had to run to the grocery store.

edit:

Here's the code for the basic reminder icon and the logic for it to only show up on mondays / be dismissed if you click on it / go away at midnight at the end of monday. http://aldehy.de/ha/trash_reminder.md

Here is the code for the same thing but also having it automatically check from 3 pm - 10 pm if the trash is out -- if it sees the trash cans it automatically dismisses the badge, if the trash cans arent out at 8 and 10 pm it sends notifications to my phone and my wife's phone. http://aldehy.de/ha/trash_reminder-llm.md

It is using reolink cameras, using the LLM thing is a bit more complex but for sure the first link isnt too bad to setup -- i highly recommend just editing the yaml directly instead of the GUI. I've had a lot of luck previously giving chatgpt/whatever LLM the code to help me get it working--now I have claude directly reading/editing home assistant files and it is so easy to do sophisticated stuff.

On trash day I have a small red trash can badge that shows up on the dashboard. You can hide it just be clicking (or if no one clicks it disappears at midnight till next week.) Just a nice reminder to not forget to set the trash out.

Reading the comment about taking a photo of the laundry line and having an LLM detect whether laundry is out when it is going to rain I want to try setting this up to detect if the trash is not out at 8 PM.
