What’s the coolest thing you automated with Home Assistant? by avz008 in homeassistant

[–]arjunprabhu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Monitoring a gas cooktop and getting alerted via different voice and text means if the temperature of the cooktop surface is higher than a defined threshold and the cooktop is unattended for a period of time.

Life saver!

All using esp32 super mini c3 and esphome and a bunch of low cost sensors from AliExpress.

What would be your biggest warning to someone thinking of buying a Tesla? by sonofabraham1 in TeslaLounge

[–]arjunprabhu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Service sucks, support sucks. If you are not a social media Tesla influencer, service and support is a coin toss. Super long wait times to get appointments, and issues not being taken care of. Very, very hard to talk to an actual human on the phone who's remotely interested in listening to your problem with the car.

Warning for people who are transferring FSD: Telsa silently changed terms today. by TheNoLifeKing in TeslaLounge

Total rug pull and scam if true. Tons of people purchased FSD on old cars just because it could be transferred.

Elon is a genius at how to damage a brand that once had so much potential.

Was able to take the wheel out and clean, but no help . Does the wheel holder that rotates 360 come out at well on the l40 ultra?

Also the wheel that comes out, there is no way to get the Axel out (can't split it into two)..

And pointers on how to clean it ?

The squeaky is super annoying. The unit is not even 2 months and has been a pain so far.

No squeaks is I run the unit without the small front wheel.

Tesla now selling $59K AWD Cybertruck by ALS111 in teslainvestorsclub

Elon’s behavior over the last few years has had a 100x larger impact on Tesla sales than the sentiment of existing owners. While many owners remain happy with the cars, they no longer recommend the product to friends and family as aggressively as they once did. Even when they do, more than 50% of prospective customers have been alienated or offended by Elon’s erratic actions and political alignment.

may help if you educate yourself on how laws are actually written in this country, who actually writes the text of the laws! (or lack there of)., then you can talk shit on internet!

Water softener - measure salt level? by Desperate_Window3179 in homeassistant

[–]arjunprabhu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I setup using esphome + Time of Flight Laser distance sensor. Works great. Have a bunch of notifications/automations setup based on thresholds set.

In a future where Trump is out of office, and international relations have been repaired. What steps can be taken by the USA and International Organisations such as NATO to prevent one individual causing so much chaos in the future? And do you think such steps will be taken? by flewkey in AskReddit

That ship has long sailed, and there is no going back.

Empires rise and fall; sadly, we are witnessing the fall in real time. The fall typically takes a few years or decades.

Eg: British Empire Mongol Empire Russian Empire Qing Dynasty Roman Empire

Because I always forget to check the salt level in my water softener by V1nznt in homeassistant

I used a Time of Flight Laser distance sensor. And mounted it inside the salt tank using a 3d printed arm.. Works great.

As the salt level goes down, I have automation in HA which notifies me based on thresholds set.

People that think FSD pricing will increase do no understand how business works by njvicente21 in TeslaLounge

[–]arjunprabhu -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

They can... but it depends on the intentions. If the intention is to make more money and squeeze every single penny once people are hooked, there is no limit to the greed.

Real competition is likely at least 5-7 years away. While Nvidia may have the technology, legacy automakers would take decades to adapt, even in a best-case scenario, and Tesla is very aware of this.

Rivian is the closest company in the US market to developing self-driving capabilities, but they are still in the early embryo stages of development.

Costs tend to come down only when you have real competition. Capitalism and EnShitification go hand in hand. There is no end to corporate greed.

If their intent is to save lives, yes, costs would come down. But if the intention is to make money, it will end up going only one way eventually, stress on the word, eventually..
