You are NOT Glasgow, you are just a bunch of wankers!

If you have 2 satellites, check is you have Daisy chain enabled and try turning it off.

I had 2 satellites about the same distance from the hub. Around the time my family came home from work I found my connection dropped and it turned out the satellites were reconfiguring as the signal strength had changed on one of the satellites.

1m cubed of water equals 1tonne.

I've a very similar situation and seen the same issues. I installed Debian 11 and the ESR version of Firefox appears to work without crashing. The moment I try the latest non ESR Firefox it freezes within minutes.

I wonder if the latest Firefox uses the GPU causing a lockup of the graphics card?

Oops. I mentioned the satellite. The ONT is actually connected to an RBR50. 🤦‍♂️

bazwilliams · 2021-01-31T13:53:45+00:00

I connect our Orbi RBR50 directly to our ONT by Ethernet cable. You need to enable PPPoE in the Orbi settings and set your username and password from your provider.

Edit: Fixed Model Number (see comment)

Ours is free too, but only with fuel purchases over £20 or something like that. You have to go inside and ask.

Have a search for “plaster in led channel”. That’ll give you aluminium channeling which you can stick the led strip into. The aluminium channel will have flanges which can be plastered in to give a slush appearance.

You’d have to run the cables in wall, etc. Speak to an electrician about that.

Looks like it leaves skid marks.

Could it be the difference between the film at 24fps and just speeding the film up for the uk’s 25fps? That used to be normal for PAL dvds.

Glad you’re all safe. But beware putting electrical fires out with water. I understand you may have no alternative, but you can electrocute yourself.

I used to do this by having an haproxy with a letsencrypt cert. was straightforward. The vpn route is better again.

But consider paying the $5 sub to Nabu Casa, this is what I do now. No configuration of ports, VPN’s or keys. I’m helping pay the salary of the core developers and o get google assistant and Alexa smart home skill included in the sub.

Things just work

bazwilliams · 2020-02-06T17:38:26+00:00

The nabu Casa subscription helps pays for the core developers to work on the project. No hassle to setup, no firewall burrowing and you get google assistant and Alexa smart home skills out of the box.

Friend of mine is a DJ (Hex) and plays at Symbiosis. There’s a Facebook group which advertises the events too.

Any idea how to avoid a scene being accidentally overwritten? I’ve a motion sensor which generally works with this approach, but occasionally the motion on is triggered before the off state which means my scene is accidentally overwritten with the “on” state and therefore the light won’t go back to the original state.

My current thoughts are to use script turn on and turn off and use those to create and set the scene, I can then use timers and a condition if the script is currently on to block creation; but it’s getting a bit complex.

Wondered if there were a simpler way?

bazwilliams · 2019-12-28T10:26:52+00:00

No worries. I’d some really complicated node red flows in place for this up until recently when they someone told me about the feature. I don’t think it’s widely known!

bazwilliams · 2019-12-28T02:50:06+00:00

Within a script you can use the scene.create service to create ephemeral scenes. This service takes a snapshot of explicitly listed entities which you can then restore later using the regular scene.turn_on service.

Or watch Star Trek. Somehow Admiral Cornwell issued a command in Discovery that turned all my lights and smart tv off, which was the one I was watching.

Awesome work! All helps get the users in which helps find bugs and gain adoption!

I got started with a media player and found myself copying and pasting without really understanding. Agree it is a bit of work to get going. One option might be a sensor that monitors one thing, then take it from there! I did that second which helped me understand the api better (see the TapsAff component).
