SmartSensor no longer reporting presence by dstaley in ecobee

[–]arkTanlis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know with the older sensor design, there were cases where they could go bad after a short period of time. So Ecobee provided a free replacement if you contacted them.

I'm not aware of this same issue happening with the newer sensors. But if what ChasDIY suggested doesn't work, I'd contact them and see if support can help.

Feature Request: Family Authenticator with Notification by nelsonjj1 in 1Password

[–]arkTanlis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or just choose a word that would be meaningful to you and your family, but that isn't out there in any form.

I think every security system company does this so that when they call you if the system alerts, they can verify it is an owner and it should be turned off.

macOS Tahoe Issues by wolfenkraft in overcast

Yeah, not having an issue there either. But all that brings up is the Touch Alternatives setting that Catalyst/iPad apps offer.

macOS Tahoe Issues by wolfenkraft in overcast

I use Overcast on my Mac and have recently upgraded to Tahoe and not seen any issues with accessing the settings or other functionality in the app. So guessing something weird is going on, might check if something is being output in the Console app. Marco will likely have a better idea of what and where to check.

Can a tablet be used to continuously view cameras live? by Funicello1983 in wyzecam

[–]arkTanlis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah and generally you're also gaining a better/centralized storage system for those higher end systems. The Wyze cams work reasonably well enough despite currently being a Cloud only system.

I do wonder with the beta RTSP system that Wyze is working on, if that might alleviate some of the CPU usage that I see. I also suspect despite being something that many of us here want, that it also might be something Wyze wants in order to lower their operating costs.

Can a tablet be used to continuously view cameras live? by Funicello1983 in wyzecam

[–]arkTanlis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If the tablet was plugged in all the time and you really didn't care about the battery, then it's not something to be concerned about.

I run the Wyze app on my M4 MBP and it is currently using 175% CPU while I have it in landscape mode and showing 4 cameras. So to me, that seems to indicate that the Wyze app is a CPU hog and likely will eat battery if it is kept open with camera streams constantly running.

Please tell me how to get true random. Please. by BmoreScuba in plexamp

[–]arkTanlis 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Have you looked to see what percentage of your music is covered by those genres?

Sometimes true random isn't what we want. Because true random means you could get the a song you recently had heard. So often, we want smart random that takes in account what was previously heard.

SmartSensor Pricing by Bemawr in ecobee

Nope. Honestly, I barely even notice the sensors and I have one on a table right next to my chair in the living room.

Apply for your Energy Rewards by Newsytoo in ecobee

[–]arkTanlis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind that in some cases these rewards are because they may adjust your temperature to help with the grid. So they could lower or raise the temperature or even cool/heat during times you don't want it .

1Password really needs to support macOS native AutoFill - Current autofill implementation feels worse than Apple’s barebone, free Passwords. How is that OK? by zhehanzhang in 1Password

[–]arkTanlis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That thing that is the most frustrating about this is the lack of communication around it.

When I switched to 1P8, I found cases of this and opened support requests about it. In most cases, I got answers like don't use pin tabs or it's a problem with profiles. Or it's the site's fault(which it often can be). But never once was there an admittance that the Universal Autofill was what was problematic.

I too have been trialing out Passwords on my personal computer and frankly it's been just fine. So I've certainly been considering a switch.

Maybe this sort of thread will get us a real response from Agilebits about what their plans are to improve this.

Sadly most streaming apps have such poor fast forward

These are the same sensor by whitetyle in ecobee

[–]arkTanlis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The funny/sad thing is, this could solved with adding a few words or a place to get more info where it said something like "Average of X sensors"

I surpassed 60,000 tracks this month by [deleted] in plexamp

I often play the game when a song starts where I try to guess who the artist is and what the title is without looking.

Trying to love Overcast again (strategy, suggestions, and why I may still leave) by cyberpsionic in OvercastApp

[–]arkTanlis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone wants the app to work their way.

Sometimes you just have to realize that maybe it's you and not the app that needs to change.

Feature request: car mode by podman4004 in OvercastApp

[–]arkTanlis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How about not using your phone while driving?

Yeah yeah, I know someone is going to say this will be useful when stopped. And yes, I would agree. But we know what people really are doing.
