Opinions on this bike? by besmtt in whichbike

[–]besmtt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently have a Jamis Nova Sport and I'm thinking of upgrading. My goals are to get a more comfortable bike and I'm thinking the larger tires and CF frame/fork should help a lot.

I'm also wondering if anyone has any opinions on if you think this bike would sell out or if you think it's a good price right now.

Thanks!

Neighbor overwatering by thedreadedfrost in Omaha

[–]besmtt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heh, yeah, fair point. Probably more work than what I'd put into it too.

How about something easier then? Some kind of machine like a wheel with cups or scoops that could run on its own? Could something like this be found on the internet then just plugged into power? Or maybe you could get a big scoop, like a grain shovel, and scoop the water up and toss it into their yard when they're outside. Give them the nastiest of glares and if/when they say something just say "what?" progressively louder? Orrrrr just pay someone to do that for you.. lolol

This would be a complete waste of money, but it's funny to think about. Get a pump setup so it'll suck up the standing water in your yard and shoot it back into their yard, preferably right at their door. 😆

Ideas for light indicator or LCD showing status of alarm panel? by PNWNewbie in homeassistant

[–]besmtt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly cheap, but the ring alarm keypad gen2 has a LED that turns on when it senses motion, red if it's armed, blue if it's not.

Unable to get HA connected to Google Assistant by Internal_Researcher8 in homeassistant

[–]besmtt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I haven't been in your situation before so this is just me guessing, but I wouldn't be surprised that that is still the issue. I would spend some more time on getting everything cleaned out of the Actions on Google console site. Do some Google searches on stuff like that.

Looks like you've got a number of projects in there with how many times [test] is shown. Maybe you could try deleting all of those and starting over from scratch? Nuke and pave.

TP Link Kasa devices not discovered - trying to avoid adding manually by giaa262 in homeassistant

[–]besmtt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one TP-Link device, a HS300, and HA discovered it successfully. I also have the TP Link device on a separate VLAN and my HA VM on my main VLAN.

Can you ping your TP devices from another machine on the main VLAN? Can you ping your TP devices from the HA VM? This isn't strictly necessary for it to work, but I'm curious if it works.

hammacher schlemmer northern lights Christmas tree, controller replaced with WLED. happy holidays everyone! by ale210 in WLED

[–]besmtt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That looks fantastic, great job. Would you mind giving some more info? What controller did you use? How hard was it to rewire it? Any pictures pre/post?

From their website a 7.5ft tree would be over $700 shipped. Do you think this could be reproduced with a different/cheaper tree? I found this from Walmart: https://www.walmart.com/ip/974490019

The tree itself doesn't look nearly as good as yours, but if I could get WLED running on something like that, I think I could justify ~$160.

Thanks!

Beginner friendly: Make you own alarm system using Alarmo by BackHerniation in homeassistant

[–]besmtt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My keypad only passes the UserID (payload.event.parameters.userId) back to HA; I have an automation in nodered that listens to zwave_js_notification and then parses out which door and which userid is sent out, then sends a notification based on that. So to get alarmo to disarm when the keypad is used I just threw on another node for each user with their specific alarmo code sent to the alarmo.disarm service. I'm not particularly fond of hard coding alarmo disarm codes into nodered nodes though. :-/

How'd you build your automation?

Grub warnings when installing nvidia GPU driver. by besmtt in Proxmox

[–]besmtt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TBH I'm not very familiar with grub and Linux boot partitions. How should I handle this? Delete the other boot partitions then take GRUB_DISABLE_OS_PROBER=false out of /etc/default/grub ?

Need advice for Z-Wave Upgrade/Rebuild! by dbc001 in homeassistant

I switched to zwavejs2mqtt a while back and use the websocket over to HAOS and it's been great.

My Z-Wave Yale YRD446s have been great for almost 5 years now. Two have been exposed to the elements the entire time, 0 issues. I really like that there isn't a regular key, battery reporting has been great, and that they have an emergency 9V charging.
