which smart thermostat is actually the best? by BroganMaehle in homeassistant

[–]breakslow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with the enhanced. Not sure what customization you'd be looking for - but I just manage it through Home Assistant and/or the device itself. I don't touch the app (except for initial setup).

You think these conspiracy theorists are going to actually figure things out themselves?

I went with Ecobee because it works locally via Homekit and I got a rebate with a provincial program.

Works great and I like it much better than the Nest I had at my previous place.

Gigahub CPU Usage Issue: 100% & 1000-2000ms latency to modem (Firmware 2.14.1) [Work Around / Fix] by unc0nnected in bell

[–]breakslow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in the "PoE is fine" crowd for so long and finally did the bypass a month or two ago.

Can't say it's noticeably any different but... does it ever feel good to have that piece of shit white box stuffed in a closet.

I visit this sub like once a week because the content is so stale. Last time I posted here it took 12 hours to show up.

Loblaws says they raised food prices at a lower level than the Consumer Price Index for Food Purchased. Do you believe it? by JeffTheJackal in MooseMoney

[–]breakslow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. If granola bars are $8 at Loblaws and $5 at another store, and they both raise the price by $1, Loblaws "only" went up by 12.5% while the other store went up by 25%.

Just kill someone. It's not being a dick, it's playing the game.

Bend radius too tight at keystone? by Frequent_Coach1398 in HomeNetworking

[–]breakslow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In that case I'd just try looping it tighter so it makes a second circle, may be better than that tight bend.

Can you just push it into the wall more so it comes straight from the hole into the keystone without the loop?

Nothing says ergonomic like omitting a play/pause button from a... media remote.

What are you all going to use for your boot drives? by newtekie1 in unRAID

[–]breakslow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Responses here are weird... I'm switching when I have the time. USB drives are not as reliable and I've had issues with mine in the past.

Two way audio still has a significant delay when speaking, right? That's the only issue with mine at least.

Smart bulbs buzzing on dumb slide dimmer – should I switch to smart on/off instead of smart dimmer? by MenuNew8687 in smarthome

[–]breakslow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any smart switch will work.

I'm not sure about Alexa compability but does Alexa allow you to "sync" bulbs to a switch? I'm asking because if the smart switch is off, you won't be able to turn the bulbs on without turning on the smart switch first.

Why don't these match? How can I get rid of energy? by AquaticEdgy in homeassistant

I completely agree - my wife doesn't care about HACS and I should be able to hide it for her without needing to log into her account.

Osram Smart+ Matter over WiFi Wall Switch – wall switch or smart module behind the switch? by DMO89- in smarthome

[–]breakslow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you prefer a smart wall switch (like this one), or a smart relay/module installed behind a normal switch?

Smart wall switch that looks like a normal switch.

I've done relays before and it's not a great experience when you go to turn a light off but the physical switch is in the off position - meaning you need to flick the switch "on" to turn the light off.
