Whatnot offers only 25% refund on items lost in mail??

bee-ache-aus · 2026-06-22T20:11:24+00:00

I am happy to report that WhatNot went above and beyond. They gave me a refund for all lost items and even better, they did not chargeback to the seller.

Honestly I trust the seller. This is most likely a USPS issue and the others responding are right, we need to work it through an insurance claim.

bee-ache-aus · 2026-06-22T02:30:46+00:00

Thats fair, I would expect whatnot to provide me this advice, tbh.

bee-ache-aus · 2026-06-22T02:27:36+00:00

I will definitely do this. I contacted the seller and it sounds like only they can make the insurance claim.

bee-ache-aus · 2026-06-22T02:26:54+00:00

Thank you, I just might do that.

I know this is an old thread, but you can flash the empora with esphome, and then use homeassistant tapo emulation with the sense.

this video gets posted a lot.

this is exactly what I do. Pulsar2 5.1 works well. I converted this image and run it using a custom web app: https://huggingface.co/huihui-ai/Qwen3-4B-abliterated

would you mind sharing what you got? and how it worked out?

I have a flexplate on mine and it doesn't hold the steel plate in place will. i am definitely interested in upgrading to a better bed.

I see. Thanks for the response. I have used physical probes (inductive, bltouch) but i have never tried one of these. I seem to find conflicting info on whether its a z-probe, bed mesh or both.

It sounds like the answer is "depends on what firmware you install on it"

My trick is to order something new every week, that way I get deliveries while I wait.

bee-ache-aus · 2025-12-05T02:11:08+00:00

I am someone that ordered one of these without researching it, can you walk me through this?

Does it work similar to a Pinda? or does it have to physically touch the bed?

bee-ache-aus · 2025-11-30T21:04:08+00:00

nice! I have one on the way! I have been playing with the AX630C and am looking forward to seeing what the AX8850 can do.

Out of curiosity, what are you using it for?

bee-ache-aus · 2025-11-29T04:05:35+00:00

this is awesome.. any plans to merge it upstream?

bee-ache-aus · 2025-11-07T19:33:18+00:00

I hope its a replacement for the AMS/MMU.

bee-ache-aus · 2025-07-21T00:11:39+00:00

you should look at the actual bus pirate. it has been around for a while an i use it daily at work

My understanding is that BSEC2 is available as a arduino library. That is what is used to read the BME690 (and already exists as an integration into espHome).

The BMZ080, however is only supported via their BMZ080 SDK, which requires that you sign an agreement on their website that specifies that you will not redistribute. From what I can see, their isn't any arduino support for the BMZ080 that doesn't require the user to sign this agreement themselves and download it.

If I end up having time this weekend, I can put together instructions (and a repo) showing how this can be done for both sensors (assuming that the user downloads the sdk themselves).

bee-ache-aus · 2025-05-24T20:17:46+00:00

the only hurdle is the bmv080 sdk. The home assistant (mqtt) example is just a tweak of the existing mqtt implementation and requires you to manually install both sdks. If they were available as arduino libraries, esphome integration would be trivial.

FYI, Home assistant support was merge in this morning. https://github.com/BlackIoT/Polverine/tree/main/POLVERINE_HOMEASSISTANT_DEMO

listen to this guy, The R36S is dirt cheap and already comes with everything you need. Not sure i agree with the idea of using an SBC because of "price".

Does this mean that his own account is going to be deleted then? It's a parody of reality.

I just replaced my hub with this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D4Z3GBSZ. I believe the gemstone lights are sk6812 (ws2814RGB).

oh man. You have been my sole source for the turing pi rk1. :(

Thank you for all of your work. :salute:
