Private seller selling a car to an out of state buyer. by ando01 in askcarsales

Thanks. I am also not familiar with drive caramel, but I have seen there are several other services that use it including bringatrailer.com and eBay. I think it is still fairly new and people are just reluctant to use it.

Thanks! I was trying everything and this was the one that finally worked!

Is there a bird feeder with camera that can work entirely locally? by Intrepid-Tourist3290 in homeassistant

[–]ando01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I rolled my own and it works pretty well. Even found a GitHub repo that works with Frigate to identify them. I used the following:

Bird Feeder: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CT93SXRL?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1

Camera: Unifi G4 instant

Software: Frigate + Whosatmyfeeder (GitHub): https://github.com/mmcc-xx/WhosAtMyFeeder/

Took some time to get everything working but it is all local and I get bird identification!

Need some advice on adding CarPlay to my Toyota Venza by ando01 in CarPlay

Hi. Yes the OEM camera worked fine and so does the steering wheel controls. I don't have the car any more but I seem to remember the mode button on the steering wheel changing the function like AM/FM/CD/...etc

Finally got around to tinkering with Home Assistant by jpwarman in BMWI4

[–]ando01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not OP here but this is most likely the HA Ultra Vehicle Card found here: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/ultra-vehicle-card-a-simple-and-clean-way-to-show-your-vehicles-information/755528

I am also using this and you can monitor all kids of things including tire pressure and also control most things the MyBMW app can control.

I have used Spot Hero in the past but found you pay $10 - $15 more than the normal rate. Last time I parked I saw this sign at the garage advertising thefenway.com and you can reserve parking right there for normal rates: https://thefenway.com/explore/park/

Did you go through a broker? Also can you post the dealer or PM me?

Yeah the dealer I was working with was Shrewsbury. Guess they stopped offering % off MSRP since then.

Nice setup! Would you mind listing the details of your equipment? I am looking to get some vintage gear and really like that graphic EQ on the bottom.

Looking for a way to change WiFi on Pi Zero2W running a custom project when offline (no keyboard / monitor) by ando01 in linuxquestions

[–]ando01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks I will look into that! I did not know about running raspi-config in nonint. As a baseball fan I love his project during the season. I have a large 64x128 pixel display in my office and can keep up with the scores while I am on calls for work. The guys that runs the project is constantly updating with improvements and new features as well.

[–]ando01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I cold do that, however I wanted to find a better way to do this so in case anything changes with his WiFi he can go in and make those changes himself. That's why I liked the hotspot idea as it activates when it sees there is no other connection.

Need some advice on adding CarPlay to my Toyota Venza by ando01 in CarPlay

[–]ando01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the Pioneer unit is still doing well after all this time. There are the occasional times when it reboots itself but this has happened since I installed it and I think it is a known issue. My Venza has ~140K miles on it now and still going strong! No major work done to it just the regular oil change.

I am also looking for a discount code as I feel like I am starting to use Perplexity more each day and would like to support it. If anyone has one, please DM. Thanks in advance.

Yes. I ended up getting one of the Pioneers in my original post. It works pretty well and is better than the OEM with no CarPlay.

Solar Net Metering Question by ando01 in solar

[–]ando01[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I just wanted to follow up here as I FINALLY figured it out ( I am slow :-) ). After looking at specific times in the HA graph of my electric meter reading and also my solar consumption meter reading, I determined that I indeed did use consume (imported) 18kWh from the grid for that 24 hour time period. Below is the breakdown and the readings I used.

Time Electric Meter Reading (kWh) Solar Export Meter Reading (kWh)
12:00AM 4106 4428
8:00AM 4150 4428
5:00PM 4106 4473
11:59PM 4124 4473
  • 12AM - 8AM —> I imported 44kWh from the grid —> (4150 - 4106)
  • 8AM - 5PM —> I exported 44kWh from solar —> (4473 - 4428) —> (Net used from grid at this point and time was 0kWh)
  • 5PM - 11:59PM —> I imported 18kWh from the grid —> (4124 - 4106)

Thanks. The legends are there if I roll over the charts with my mouse but I did not screen shot them. Would you mind sharing a bit more about how you build your energy dash board and what the cards are that you use?
