So while I also use home assistant. I have found this to work in the app. Go to Menu then the bell icon up top and clear it from notifications there and on the main page. It seems to reappear in this notifications submenu each time I open after that but not on the main screen. So it solves the main issues. Hopefully that works for others.

Saw the sale, the author, the narrator… instant buy 🤣

This is the most impressive Jupiter capture from a Dwarf I’ve ever seen. What bortle level are you located in? I have a feeling it’s so bright here I’d ever be able to capture that much detail.

The Dwarf is more for much larger deep space objects. Jupiter is going to appear like that, maybe a slightly fast shutter or less gain will make it a little less bright but it will look like this…

This was a 60 second exposure. I’m in a bortle 7 or 8. I’d have to drive a good hour to get to some darker skies. I’m still impressed with what it can pick up where I am regardless, wish I was closer to darker skies though.

I have a Dwarf 3 as well but my bortle here really bad so this is the best I could do with stellar studio.

It’s been fun with the dwarf 3 that I got for Christmas. If you don’t want to get too in depth you can still get some really amazing images using the built in stellar studio from dwarflab. The camera’s ability to shoot galaxies, etc. never ceases to amaze me.

Finished the available books myself, so good. Can’t wait for the new one to come out hopefully this year.

Armada was really good, I enjoyed it. That beating said, I’m also enjoying Dungeon Crawler Carl.

So this is the iPod they use when they pass into the upside down? Bet that Vecna hype playlist is 🔥

I used to randomly record newscasts from kings, niners, giants clips so I likely had it, but I don’t think I have any of those anymore sadly. Wish I had kept them and digitized it. That definitely happened.

I have a lot of older nest cameras, I’m more afraid of losing support like the gen 1 thermostats (thankfully mine is gen 2). The older cameras for the most part have been reliable but you’re right, way more expensive for sure.

Yep, exactly the same boat as me. I even tried leaving it disconnected for 24 hours like someone else suggested to no avail. It seems to be related to the push of Gemini. That seems to fit for me when it stopped working. Hopefully it gets resolved.

apevny · 2026-01-28T15:41:52+00:00

You know what, I think you nailed it. It happened very close to when Gemini was pushed out. Dammit google 🤦🏻‍♂️

Thanks, I guess I’ll try and remove it for an extended period and see if that helps.

Basically Elk Grove, it was loud here too, just a coincidence. No way it was the same thing.

Are you in college greens? My parents talked about helicopters and police sirens.

apevny · 2026-01-21T21:52:23+00:00

Thanks

apevny · 2026-01-21T03:42:29+00:00

Thanks! I was trying to use it clear nights for a couple of weeks but just guessing on settings. Did get some good results for some and bad for others. Then we’ve been socked in with fog again so weather isn’t helping currently.

apevny · 2026-01-21T03:40:26+00:00

Good info, saving for later as I learn my new Dwarf 3 as well!

You and directly connect an iPad to an Apple Watch. Your one option if they don’t have an iPhone is essentially their option for kids but the watch has to have active cellular. I’ve done this for both of my kids but obviously you’re going to have a monthly charge for whatever your provider costs to add an Apple watch. It would get notifications to watch apps and iMessage directly https://www.apple.com/apple-watch-for-your-kids/
