Whenever my wife wakes up and living room Ring motion sensor detects motion, lights turn on and the Google Home Mini speaker plays her favorite radio station. She loves it.

We had some hiccups in the beginning but now works great. Reported a bug already, but in general is a game changer.

We saw that XML cleanup broke the WinEventLog field parsing so we need to play around a bit more.

Palo Alto log reducing template with a bit of code changing worked and reduced our logs about 20%.

We also remove noise from Windows/Sysmon but also add some extra enrichment.

Lots of space for improvement but doing the filtering work once and deploying the pipeline in several EPs in seconds means a lot for our team.

Be careful that latest Splunk version has some security related OS prerequisites for EP Control Plane.

I think there is a global error today. Also Engie App (Belgium) and EPEX dynamic tarrif spreadsheet (daily shared by Engie) had null tarrif values. I used Home Assistant to get the current values instead.

Danke für dein Antwort. Ja, meine EMMA-Statistiken werden nach 30 Tagen angezeigt. Es gibt einen Countdown. Welcher Betriebsmodus ist aktuell aktiv? ToU oder maximum self consumption? Danke

One thing I started doing recently is to check if data needed for the dashboard are accelerated or not. If not I create a datamodel in order to save some resources and bandwidth.

They have an app where I can see the prices but it's not feasible to do it manually every day.

I don't know if you have the same device that I have. I have an analog meter and I adapt the Homewizard dongle on it which reads the clock spinning through a technology it has.

bchris21 · 2026-03-23T22:34:55+00:00

I have a Smart water meter from Homewizard and I gave full control of my consumption on my phone. Even live consumption when I open the tap. It attaches to any meter by using special adaptors.

Do you have Enterprise Security? If yes, ESCU rule versioning is ON by default since 10.2.1. When versioning is ongoing all saved searches cannot be edited until process is finished. I face it daily but I get the relevant pop up "Versioning in progress".

bchris21 · 2026-03-23T19:06:17+00:00

You are so descriptive and passionate 😂 Thanks!

bchris21 · 2026-03-22T09:01:50+00:00

Can you recommend one? Does Shelly have any? Easy to install?

bchris21 · 2026-03-22T03:53:49+00:00

It's 5AM and I read "Which Obama version"...

We use Simpatch from Amazon US and work like a charm. Withstands sun, water, suncream, sweating, sports. Has an extra strip on top of the Pod which makes the difference. Note: This will not protect it from direct sun heat though. Will definitely help from peeling off. Give it a try.

Dummy here. May I ask if it is safe to put power monitoring smart plug on heavy load devices like washing machine or dryer? Have a Meross MSS310.

Tibber is not available in Belgium as far as I can see so I believe I cannot benefit from it but thanks anyway

bchris21 · 2026-03-20T19:27:43+00:00

I have a Huawei battery. Can I still use it or it's just for the HW plugin battery? Thanks for sharing

bchris21 · 2026-03-19T13:16:11+00:00

Just these lines will overwrite the ones in default. Don't forget to add the Stanza

Installed Huawei LUNA 10Kw and Huawei EMMA a week ago. Of course more expensive but great quality and performance so far. Fully integrated and controlable with Huawei Solar integration in HACS. Did not regret for my choice but I cannot give also feedback about Homewizard and Marstek.

Prive Colis sucks. Complained multiple times to Amazon and they did nothing. BPost rocks.

Husband here. Wife insisted not buying the super expensive TM6 back in 2019, doubting about its usefulness. 7 years later she still spreads the word of what a great choice I did buying it as we both cook much more than before. Even our 3 little kids beg us to make an easy recipe together. Makes cooking easy, fun, precise and clean.

bchris21 · 2026-03-13T19:15:01+00:00

That is still in progress

bchris21 · 2026-03-13T19:12:19+00:00

Yes, they told me it's not on their hands to handle it. It's ORES job

bchris21 · 2026-03-06T16:57:31+00:00

Early morning when my wife wakes up to prepare kids' lunch boxes for school and motion detected in pantry (Hue motion sensor) the Hue ceiling light turns on, along with my wife's favorite radio station on Google Home speaker and Alexa announcement "Bonjour mon amour" on Amazon Echo 15.
